VGA and HDMI converter
with audio, 1080p
Item no. 98 93 54
Tips and Notes
• Set a suitable image refresh rate for the analogue VGA output on your computer (see table in
chapter “Technical Data”); otherwise, a malfunction may occur (image disruptions or no image
at the HDMI output).
• Depending on the resolution of the analogue VGA signal, a distorted image may be displayed
because the image aspect ratios of the VGA signal and monitor do not match. If possible,
change the resolution in the operating system for the VGA output to a different value with an
aspect ratio of about 16:9 (e.g. 1280 x 720).
If you select a VGA resolution that differs from the resolution of the monitor connected, this will
lead to a slightly blurred image.
• The VGA/HDMI converter does not depend on the operating system used. Furthermore, the
converter does not require any software or drivers. Therefore, it can be used and operated
with many other devices which provide an analogue VGA video signal.
• Due to the multitude of resolutions that are possible via an analogue VGA output, you may
fi
nd that some of these resolutions are not supported. In such cases, try setting a different
resolution on your computer.
• Should the computer have several video outputs, ensure that the VGA output of the computer
is enabled and provides an image.
Cleaning
Prior to cleaning the device, pull the plug-in power unit out of the mains outlet.
Use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these can
cause discolouration. Do not press too strongly on the surface when cleaning, to prevent scratch
marks.
Dust can easily be removed using a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Disposal
Electrical and electronic devices do not constitute household waste.
Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory regula-
tions.

fi
cation of the product is not permitted for safety and
approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product.
• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.
• The product is intended for use only in dry, indoor locations. No part of the product must be
allowed to get damp or wet.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a dangerous
plaything for children.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental falls, even
from a low height.
Connection and Getting Started
• Connect the VGA connector of the VGA/HDMI converter to the analogue VGA video output,
e.g. of a PC graphic card or a notebook. For a more simple connection, the VGA cable pro-
vided can be used.
If you want the audio playback of the computer to take place via HDMI as well (e.g. if the
monitor you use has built-in speakers), you can connect the 3.5 mm stereo jack socket
(“Audio Input”) of the VGA/HDMI converter to the analogue audio output (line level) of your
computer. A suitable cable with 3.5 mm stereo jack plugs is included in the package of the
VGA/HDMI converter.
• Connect a suitable HDMI-compatible cable to the HDMI socket (“HDMI Output”) of the VGA/
HDMI converter. Connect the cable with an HDMI input of your monitor.
• Connect the VGA/HDIMI converter to a USB port on your computer or to a USB hub using the
USB cable enclosed.
Due to the power consumption of theVGA/HDMI converter, you have to use a USB
port that provides a current of 500 mA (e.g. a USB port directly on your computer or
the USB port of a USB hub with individual power supply).
• Make sure that the cables are not pinched or trapped.
• Switch on your monitor and your computer. Select the correct input on the monitor, if required.
• If the VGA-/HDMI converter is supplied with power via the USB cable, a blue LED lights up on
the casing’s top of the VGA/HDMI converter.
