Troubleshooting

1. Verify Power—The Monitor Screen on the front of the distribution amp should be present when power

is supplied. The Monitor screen has an automatic timeout to reduce screen burn. Select any button

to awaken the diagnostics screen.

2. Verify Connections – Check that all cables are correctly connected and support 48Gbps

a. HDMI Input LED – Light will be solid when the HDMI Link from the Source is stable.

b. Monitor Screen – Will present Input Resolution and Frame Rate when HDMI Link from the

source is stable.

3. Issues with One Output – Swap HDMI Outputs to see if issue follows. Try copying EDID from the

display. This can be found under EDID Options in the EDID Selection Menu.

4. Issues with Legacy HDMI Device when scaling

a. Ensure Legacy Device supports the Input Sources Frame Rate.

b. Ensure Variable Refresh Rate is Disabled.

c. Ensure Legacy Device supports meta-data.

Warranty

THE BASICS.

AVPro Edge warranties its products that are purchased from all Authorized AVPro Edge Resellers or direct

purchases. Products are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects and of sound physical and

electronic condition.

AVPro Edge has developed a warranty that anyone can get behind. We really wanted to take all the “red

tape” out of a warranty and just make is simple. Our 10 YEAR NO BS warranty hinges on 3 elements.

1. If you are having trouble, call us. We will attempt to troubleshoot your issue over the phone.

2. If it’s broke - We’ll replace it in advance on our dime. (We’ll cover return shipping too.) Repair is

anoption too, but it’s YOUR call.

3. We know you know what you are doing. We will not make you go through unnecessary steps to

troubleshoot an extender...

COVERAGE DETAILS.

AVPro Edge will replace or repair (at customer choice) the defective product. If the product is out of stock

or on back order it can either be replaced with a comparable product of equal value/feature set (if available)

or repair.

Your warranty begins at receipt of product (as conﬁrmed by shipping ﬁrm tracking). If tracking information

is unavailable for any reason, the warranty will commence 30 ARO (After Receipt of Order). The coverage

continues for 10 YEARS.

RED TAPE.

AVPro Edge is not responsible for untraceable purchases or those that were made outside of an authorized

channel.

If we conclude that a product or serial number has been tampered with as identiﬁed by warranty seal or

physical examination the warranty will be void. Additionally, excessive physical damage (beyond normal

wear & tear) the warranty may be voided or pro-rated based on the extent of the damage as examined by

an AVPro Edge representative.

Damage caused by “acts of God” are not covered. They can include natural disasters, power surges,

storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, sink holes, typhoons, tidal waves, hurricanes, or any other uncontrollable

event related to nature.

Damage caused by incorrect installation will not be covered. Incorrect power supply, inadequate cooling,

improper cabling, inadequate protection, static discharge are examples of this.

17

Products installed or sold by a third party to AVPro Edge will be serviced by the Authorized AVPro Edge

Reseller.

Accessories (IR Cables, RS-232, Power Supplies, etc…) are not included in the warranty. We will make

acceptable eiort to source and supply replacements for defective accessories at a discounted rate as

needed.
