Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Receiver 

12

 

6. Poor audio quality at the Receiver 
 
Only use powered speakers with the Receiver. It is also good practice to 
set the audio level (volume) output of the PC about 1/2 to 2/3 from the 
maximum and use the volume knob of the speakers to adjust the volume 
to the desired level. A low volume signal output from the PC reduces 
the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, whereas too high output amplitude can 
cause saturation and clipping to occur. 

7. Substituting power supplies 
 
The Receiver relies on the AC power adapter that is supplied with it. 
The adapter generates a floating 12 v DC power for the unit. If you 
intend to use a different external DC power that is referenced to ground, 
the Receiver will not function properly. 

 

4.2 Calling Black Box 

If you determine that your Receiver is malfunctioning, do not attempt to 
repair the unit. Contact Black Box Tech. Support at 724-746-5500. 

Before you do, make a record of the history of the problem. We will be 
able to provide more efficient and accurate assistance if you have a 
complete description, including:

• The components involved in the problem—that is, what type of 

cable, makes and models of computers and monitors, etc. 

• The results of any testing you’ve already done. 

 

4.3 Shipping and Packaging 

If you need to transport or ship your Receiver:

contact us to get a Return Authorization (RA) number.
