Page 25: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING 1. The quality of output video is not good enough, what can I do? Please adjust the 8-level equalization on the receiver units. The HDMI signal level varies from 0 (strongest) to 7 (weakest) for respective transmission length from longest possible range to short distance. - Page 26 8. When I set an audio amplifier (AV receiver) between TV and the router to extract 7.1ch audio, but why there is still no audio? Basically, the default DIP switch setting of the chosen input can support 7.1ch audio, but the problem is that the EDID of the amplifier still cannot match the default setting.
