3.0 SYSTEM DESIGN
Considerthefollowingfactorsandbasicprecautionstoensurethebestpossible
performance.
• Do not use soldered BNC connectors or adapters. RG-6cablesMUSTbe
terminatedwitheithercrimp-onorcompressiontypeBNCconnectors.
• UsehighqualityRG-6coaxialcable.TheHXE-11cantransmitHDvideo
overasinglecoaxcableusinghighqualityRG-6andterminatingwithgood
crimp-onBNCconnectors.LowqualitycableandRG-59cabledoesnot
providethebandwidthnecessaryfortheHXE-11system.
• DonotuseHD-DVDplayers.TheHDCPkeysinthe1341Tdonotsupport
LegacyHD-DVDplayersandwillnothandshakeorpasssignals.
• SourceandTVconnectioncables.Useshort,premiumHDMIcables;low
qualitycablesareoftenunreliable.Alwaysusegoodstrainreliefmethodsor
lockingcablestopreventcablesfrombecominglooseovertime.
• Interferencefromnearbyelectricaldevicescanhaveanadverseeffect
onsignalquality.Forexample,oldercomputermonitorsoftenemitveryhigh
electromagneticeldsthatcaninterferewiththeperformanceofnearbyvideo
equipment.
• Displaydevices.Theperceivedqualityofthevideoimagedependsheavily
uponthetypeandqualityoftheTVsorprojectorsused.Highqualitydisplays
shouldbeexpectedtoproduceanoticeablybetterimage.

6.0TROUBLESHOOTING
• Poorimagequality:likelytobearesultofsourcemedia.Somesources,
(e.g.cableandsatellite)compressvideooutputresultinginpoorimagequality.
ConnectthesourcedirectlytoanidenticaldisplayviaashortHDMI®cableto
compareimagequality.
• Intermittentsignaldropout:RG-6and/orHDMIcableislongerthanrated
distanceforsourcesignalbandwidth.Reducecablelength,reduceresolution,
and/orreduceaudioformattodecreasethebandwidthrequired.
• Nosurroundsound(multi-channelaudio):adjustthesourceforthedesired
audioformat,andmakecertainthedestinationdeviceisabletoreceiveit.
• Nopicture:performthevericationsbelow.
• Checkthattheterminationplugiscorrectlyinstalledonthepassthroughjack
onthelastreceiverinthechain.
• Note:LegacyHD-DVDplayersarenolongersupportedincurrentHDCP
keysanddonotfunctionwiththeHXE-11system.
• UseonlyhighqualityRG-6cablewithcrimporcompressiontypeBNC
terminations.DONOTusesolderedBNCterminationsoradapters.
• Useacabletestertomakecertaincoaxialcablesareterminatedcorrectly
andtheBNCconnectorsaresecurelyattachedtothecableatbothends.
Checkforcabledefectsordamage,suchaspinchedcableontightcorners.
• ChecktheHDMIcablesatinputandoutputconnectionstoseeifanyofthe
connectorshavebecomeloose.Usegoodstrainreliefmethods.
• Checkthepowerindicatorsonallunits.Ifanyareoff,checkACoutlets.
• ConnectthedisplaydevicedirectlytothesourceusingtheHDMIcablefrom
the1341Tend,thentestwiththe1341Rconnectioncable.Ifanimageis
presentunderthosecircumstancesthenthedisplay,thesource,andthe
HDMIcablescanbeeliminatedasthecauseoftheproblem.
• Iftheabovemethodsdonotproduceapicture,testusingashort,known
goodHDMIcable,andsetupthesourcetooutputaresolutionthatthe
displaycanaccept.Ifthistestissuccessful,connecttheHXE-11System
again,makingsurethesourceresolutionisthesameasthetest.
