6. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
l No image on display:
l Ensure that the display device has been set to the correct input.
l Ensure that the HDMI cables used for both the source/transmitter and the
receiver/display are properly connected and are working. Test the HDMI cables
directly from a source to display and ensure their operation.
l Ensure that the twisted pair cable has not been damaged and that it has been
terminated correctly with T568B on both ends. A temporary length of twisted pair
cable can be used for testing to ensure that the devices are all compatible and
working properly.
l Ensure proper grounding of the power supply.
l Known issues with HDMI 1.2 source devices:
Older compatibility (HDMI 1.2) may result in transmission issues. Please contact
Technical Support for a solution to these issues.
l Color loss or poor picture quality:
l Ensure that the HDMI cables used for the source, transmitter, receiver and display
are properly connected and are of good quality. Test the HDMI cables directly from
a source to display and ensure their picture quality.
l Ensure proper grounding of the power supply.
l If the static becomes stronger or picture quality becomes worse when connecting
the video connectors, this may be due to improper grounding.
l Check the grounding and make sure all the components are properly grounded to a
common ground. Improper grounding may cause damage to the receiver.
If your problem persists after following the above troubleshooting steps, please contact
your authorized reseller or Green Audio technical support.
