CORRECTIVE ACTION 

The HDCP settings of one or more 
DigitalMedia devices in the signal 
path do not support the HDCP level 

of the source. 

Ensure that the HDCP 
settings of all DigitalMedia 
devices in the signal path 

support the HDCP level of the 

source. 

The display does not support the 

HDCP level of the source. 

Ensure that the display 

supports the HDCP level of 

the source. 

The video is intermittent.  

The HDMI cable connections are 

faulty. 

Verify that each end of the 

cable is connected properly. 

A message indicating that the 
resolution is unsupported 

appears on the display.  

The scaler is not set to a resolution 
that the display can support. 

Change the scaler resolution 
setting to a resolution that the 

display can support. 

(DM-MD8X1-4K-C only) The 

DM-MD8X1-4K-C cannot 
establish a link to the device 
that is connected to the  

DM OUT port. The DM link 

status LED is off. 

The cable connections are faulty. 

Verify that each end of the 

cable is properly connected. If 
necessary, check the cable 

terminations. 

The EDID is not set to 2-channel 

audio in the web interface. 

Set the EDID to 2-channel 

audio. 

The analog audio output is not 
programmed properly in SIMPL 

Windows. 

Ensure that the analog audio 
output is programmed 

properly. 

The volume is not set properly in 
web interface or in SIMPL 

Windows. 

Verify that the volume is set 

properly. 

The mixer is not enabled on the 
selected input in the web interface. 

Ensure that the mixer is 
enabled on the selected input. 

The video flickers or drops 
when the DM-MD8X1-4K-C 

or HD-MD8X1-4K is touched 
or when metal in the vicinity of 

the device is touched. 

The device is not properly 

grounded. 

Ensure that the  

device is properly grounded.
