TROUBLE-SHOOTING 1. PROBLEM: Color loss or no video signal output. CAUSE: The connecting cables may not be connected correctly or it may be broken. SOLUTION: Check whether the cables are connected correctly and in working condition. 2. PROBLEM: No output image when switching. CAUSE: No signal at the input / output end. Solution: Check with oscilloscope or multi-meter if there is any signal at the input/ output end.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug concept. With all of the HDMI cables disconnected, turn on the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output, then power up the Vanco unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s input, finally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from the receiver into it.
If repairs are needed during the warranty period the purchaser will be required to provide a sales receipt/sales invoice or other acceptable proof of purchase to the seller of this equipment. The seller will then contact Vanco regarding warranty repair or replacement.
