standard television, you can most likely use those cables to connect the item to the video

scaler. The video scaler should be in close proximity to the video source and be

connected using high-quality cables for the best possible results.

Problem: No image is being displayed from the video source or the OSD.

Cause: The input setting or output timing (resolution and refresh rate) is incorrect.

Resolution: a) With an HDTV display, adjust the settings back to the default setting for

your display type by pressing the MENU and - buttons simultaneously.

With a computer monitor, press the +and -buttons simultaneously to

return to XGA resolution.

b) Ensure all cables are securely connected.

Problem: The image is distorted or blurry.

Cause: The output timing settings/image quality settings are not optimized, or there is

interference degrading the cable signal.

Resolution: a) Adjust the timing settings and image settings using the menu system to

improve image quality and ensure the video source is working normally.

b) Use the shortest cable length possible, and ensure that they are of a high

quality. Heavily-shielded cables with gold-plated connectors offer

superior performance and signal protection. Do not use converters or

extension cables unless they were supplied with the video scaler.
