1.
If your HDTV displays video but no audio, set the audio mode to stereo
2.
The factory default setting is both pins to off, this sets 1080p for video and
surround sound audio
3.
For any other video/audio problems, turn Pin1 to “off” and Pin2 to “on”. This will
force the video signal to 720p and the audio signal to stereo
4.
Bypass mode will maintain the original output format of video and audio. Setting
this mode may give you compatibility issues with the many different kinds of
sources and screens. If either the video or audio fail to work then try the different
dip switch settings above
