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.
