System Set-up

cable connection.

Troubleshooting Tips
1The front panel indicators do not light up when I plug in power.
Check if there is power coming through. A green indicator on the AC power adapter
block lets you confirm if AC power is available.
2The front panel indicators light up, but no video is displayed on screen.
Ensure that your video cable (VGA or HDMI) is securely connected. When using an
HDMI connection, choose high quality, certified HDMI cables to avoid signal drop
outs.
Check if your monitor is turned-on and switched to the corresponding video input
source.
3No sound is heard.
If using VGA connection, you also need to connect RCA audio cables.
Check volume (mute) settings on monitor.
