Troubleshooting 

 

Matrix does not power on 

 

Verify power outlet is active. 

Verify continuity in power cable. 

 

 

 

Cannot view 3D content 

 

Copy EDID from output to input. 

Verify display is 3D compatible. 

Verify source device can output 3D content. 

Verify twisted pair cable does not exceed 40 meters if using the FLX-BI4 or FLX-BO4. 

 

 

 

Cannot hear surround sound audio 

 

Copy EDID from output to input. 

Verify output can broadcast surround sound audio. 

Verify source device is configured to output surround sound audio. 

Change input from analog audio to HDMI audio (FLX-HI4A) 

 

 

No video from HDBaseT input or output 

 

Verify the green link LED on the HDBaseT card is lit solid.
