Symptom	Remedy
No picture.	• If your display device is not SD (480i/576i) compatible then neither the setup screens or the 480i/576i to
	HDMI converted video will be displayed. In this case, connect using the component, S-video or composite
	video jacks.
	• Depending in the output settings of the source component, it may be outputting a video format that can’t
	be displayed. Change the output settings of the source, or connect using the component, S-video or
	composite jacks.

No sound, or sound suddenly ceases.

•Check that the HDMI AV setting is set to AMP/THROUGH.

•If the component is a DVI device, use a separate connection for the audio.

•If analog video is being output over HDMI then there will be no HDMI audio output. Please use a separate connection for the audio.

•Check the audio output settings of the source component.

Noisy or distorted picture.	• Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example), or the video
	quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may also depend on
	the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect the source and display
	device using the same type of connection (component, S-video or composite), then start playback again.
	• If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor, please
	consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support.
