5.0 INSTALLATION Study the front and rear panel drawings and become familiar with the controls, signal input, outputs and power input. 5.1 Wiring the System for Video Transmission • Connect an HDMI approved cable from the HDMI source to the input of the HBT200T, and from the HBT200R to the display device. • Make certain that the HDMI cables are securely plugged into the source and display devices as well as the HBT200 units.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING • For 1080p resolution, first make certain that the input cable is as short as possible and none of the HDMI cables are more than three meters long.

It should be illuminated and not flickering on and off.
