Q1: There is no video present on one of the displays. A1: Check the cable connections. Try replacing the HDMI cable with a known good one. Verify that the Link LED is illuminated.
Q2. One of the displays has no video when one of the inputs is selected. A2: Verify that the EDID for that input is set to a resolution supported by the display in question. Ensure that the input and output ports are set for HDCP compliance.
Q3: The front panel buttons are inoperative. A3: Ensure that the front panel controls are not locked.
Q4: The remote control does not function. A4: Try replacing the batteries with new ones. Ensure that you are within IR range and that you are pointing the remote at the IR receiver that is connected to the IR REC port on the rear panel.
