Troubleshooting Guide for HDMI to Component Video Converter.

If you're experiencing issues with your HDMI to Component Video Converter, this step-by-step guide will help you identify and resolve common setup problems.

⚠️ Important Note:
Not all HDMI devices are compatible with HDMI to Component (YPbPr) video conversion. Compatibility depends on the output resolution, signal type, and HDCP encryption. We offer a 14-day trial and return policy (less shipping) so you can test compatibility with your own setup risk-free.

✅ 1. Check All Cable Connections

• Ensure all cables are securely plugged in at both ends.
• Connect the HDMI input from your source device (e.g., DVD player, console) to the HDMI input port on the converter.
• Connect the Component Video output cables (Red, Green, Blue RCA) to the corresponding Component Video input ports on your TV or projector.
• Connect the Red and White RCA audio cables for stereo sound output.

🔌 2. Verify Power and LED Indicator

• Make sure the converter is powered using a stable 5V power supply.
• Check that the red LED power light on the unit is illuminated. This confirms the converter is powered and active.

Red LED = Power On
If the LED is off, try another USB power adapter or cable.

📺 3. Set Your Display to the Correct Input

• On your TV or projector, switch the input/source to Component, YPbPr, or AV, depending on how your TV labels it.
• Use your display’s remote or menu to select the correct input channel.

---

🛠️ 4. Ensure Compatible HDMI Resolutions

• The converter supports resolutions like 720p and 1080p.
• Set your HDMI source (e.g., game console, set-top box) to 720p if you're experiencing issues.
• Avoid using 4K, 1080i, or 576i signals, as these are often incompatible with analogue converters.

🔒 5. HDCP Compatibility Notice

This converter is HDCP 1.2 compliant and supports content protected by HDCP 1.2 encryption. However, some HDMI source devices (like Sky TV boxes or modern streaming devices) use HDCP 2.2 or newer, which may block analogue output entirely.

If you're seeing a blank screen when using this converter with a pay-TV box or streaming device, HDCP protection is likely the cause.

🔄 6. Try a Different HDMI Source

• Test the converter with another HDMI source (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, laptop).
• If the converter works with other devices, the original source may be incompatible or HDCP protected.

---

📺 7. Try a Different Component Display

• Test the converter with another TV or projector that accepts component input.
• This will help determine if the issue is with your display or the converter itself.
