TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. When there is no picture present, please:
• Check all the connection is correct and all connectors connect well.
• Check the quality of connecting cable, and make sure the cable does not damage.
• When use VGA as input source, due to various resolution designs of VGA input devices, you may encounter some difficulty to
show the pictures on screen in some case. If you cannot see the pictures, it is suggested to try with a different VGA resolution.
• Reset the AT-LINE-EX.
2. When there is only picture displayed and without sound:
• Check all the connection is correct and all connectors connect well.
• Check your cable to see if it supports video transmission only or it is damaged.
• HDCP may not match very well at first connection; please reset your AT-LINE-EX again.
• Do you connect any output to your Video recorder? HDCP will automatically lock up audio part.
3. When AT-LINE-EX does not respond to remote control or manual control:
• Please unplug the power cord to reset AT-LINE-EX.
4. When resolution could not show in 1080p?
• Make sure your sources (HD Player) and displays are fully supporting 1080p.
5. When the TV could not show in 1080i? ( “ i ” for interlaced scan)
• LCD TV or other flat panel TV do not support “interlaced” video signal as CRT TV does. When 1080i video signal is delivered
to LCD TV, the video signal must be de-interlaced before showing on TV screen. When up-scaling the video signal to 1080i,
some of TV may not support the interlaced video format that is produced by AT-LINE-EX. If 1080i can not show on your TV,
please change the resolution to 720p, 1080p etc. to match what TV supports.
