HDMI handshake troubleshooting tips
Warning!!: Never connect and disconnect HDMI cables and equipment while your devices are powered on (hot plugging cables). The hdmi cables carries a low DC voltage while connected. You will damage your equipment and the HDMI Distribution equipment while hot-plugging cables which will not be replaced under the 1 year manufacturers warranty.
Recommended / Best Practice HDMI installation guidelines
* Power-off all equipment before changing hdmi cables or when installing new HDMI Distribution Equipment. Hot-Plugging (Plugging / unplugging cables) while equipment is powered can cause ESD damage.
* Ensure the Switched-Mode Power Supply (AC/DC Adapter) provided with HDMI equipment fits securely in a plug. Ensure the adapter you use is not loose since wiggling or moving the AC/DC adapter around while powered can cause a voltage spike which will damage equipment.
* USE SURGE PROTECTION PLUGS! You do want to protect your expensive Home Theatre equipment from unstable voltage spikes so urchase a decent spike protection adapter. Optionally to ensure a stable power supply to all your Home Theatre equipment invest in a UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) to protect your investment to minimize unstable electrical currents & power drops to reduce electrical damage.
* Ensure that cables are gently inserted while changing cables and do not force or twist cables while inserted into the hdmi socket on your LCD or distribution equipment. By twisting cables, the 19 pins inside the HDMI cable can bend and cause damage to the equipment's hdmi ports.
* Ensure cables are not hanging from equipment and are neatly fastened using cable ties or any other way to prevent bending / damage on HDMI ports caused by hanging cables.
* UNPLUG your equipment when going away for long periods or when lightning strikes in the area. Nothing can protect your equipment against lightning strikes (Even Lightning arrestors in the electrical board, a UPS and surge protection will fail to protect your equipment if lightning strikes your home or business.
* Ensure installed HDMI Equipment has enough air flow when installed and do not mount it on top of other electronic or electrical equipment which generates heat. Maximum working temperature is 50 degrees celcius and if exceeded equipment chipsets will be damaged.
* Secure switches, extenders, splitters and any other HDMI distribution equipment to a flat vertical or horizontal surface to prevent physical damage and accidental movement of the HDMI Equipment which can bend cables and cause port damage. Velcro strips attached to the HDMI equipment and to the surface will secure it in place.
HDMI ports are susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage. New generations of HDMI transceiver silicon are moving to smaller geometry manufacturing processes, making them even more susceptible to damage. At the same time, HDMI systems are becoming more prone to ESD events as customers hot plug digital camcorders and video game systems into digital televisions, and ports are mounted on the front side of TVs and DVD recorders. An ESD pulse can enter the system either through a direct strike at the HDMI port, through a cable, or through a DVI to HDMI adapter. These strikes can result in permanent damage to the system and expensive returns. An ESD strike can enter on any of the exposed pins and for this reason hot-plugging HDMI cables and equipment must be avoided since it will damage your equipment. We highly recommend surge protection plugs and a UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) on all HDMI equipment to minimize unstable electrical currents & power drops to reduce electrical damage.
