The1388automaticallydetectstheresolutionoftheHDMIsource.Ifthedisplay
deviceordistributionsystemaccepts1080psignals(1388defaultoutput),no
otheradjustmentmaybenecessary.The1388alsohastheabilitytodetermine
thenativeresolutionoftheHDMIdisplaydevicewhenin“NATIVE”resolution
mode.AlthoughyoucanmanuallyselectanoutputresolutionsettingviatheOSD
(OnScreenDisplay)menu,itisnotnecessarytosetanoutputresolution.See

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
• No picture:performthevericationsbelow.
• Makecertainthe1388isconnectedtoaliveACoutletandcheckthe
POWERindicatorlighttoverifytheunitispoweredon.
• ChecktheHDMIcablesatinputandoutputconnectionstoseeifanyofthe
connectorshavebecomeloose.Usegoodstrainreliefmethods.
• TestusingknowngoodHDMIcables,ortryshortercables.
• Verifythatthe1388issettoaresolutionsupportedbythedisplay(1080p).
• Theresolutionfromthesourcemustbeanacceptable1388inputresolution.
• Poor image quality: Somesources,suchascableandsatellitereceivers,
compressoutputresultinginpoorimagequality.Connectthesourcedirectlyto
adisplayviaashortHDMI®cabletocompare.
• Intermittent signal dropout: Cableislongerthanrateddistanceforthe
bandwidthofthesourcesignal.Reducebandwidthorcablelength.
• No surround sound (multi-channel audio):adjustthesourcetooutput
thedesireddigitalaudioformat,andmakecertainthedestinationdeviceis
capableofreceivingit.(Note:ifanalogstereoaudiooutputisrequired,the
digitalaudioinputmustbesetto2-channelPCM.)
• No audio, or no dialogue: Ifyouareusingthe1388analogaudiooutput
(3.5mmjack)thesourcemustbesettooutput2-channelPCM,notsurround
sound.

5.0 EXAMPLE APPLICATION
Anaudioandvideoapplicationforthe1388isasignaldistributionsystemthat
requiresprogressivescanHDMIvideoformatwhenthesourceoutputsonly
interlacedvideosignals.The1388canalsobeusedtoprovideananalogaudio
outputforusewithanaudiodistributionsystem.Setupthesourcetooutput
2-channelPCMviaHDMI,andthenconnectthe1388analogoutputtothe
distributionsystem.TheHDMIoutputpreservesthe2-channelsignalforTV
