NOTICE 1. Vanco HDMI and Cat5e/6 cables are strongly recommended for use with this product to ensure best results. 2. Incorrect placement of IR Transmitter and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets. 3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat5e/6 cables utilized, the type of HDMI sources, and the type of HDMI display.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING 1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HDTV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HDTV sets. 2. If you do not get audio and video, access the “setup” menu on the TV to adjust the audio and video settings.
