6.0 Troubleshooting 

If you are experiencing problems getting the SP-HD-2B to work properly, please 
use the following troubleshooting suggestions. 
 

 

Make sure that all of the connections are solid. Loose connections are the 
number one cause of issues.  

 

Check the LEDs on the front panel. The three red LEDs indicate if the 
device is receiving video, if it is detecting a display (that is turned on), and 
if it is sending video output to them. 

 

Check the Max Output Res switches. If a connected display does not 
support 4K UHD video, ensure the dipswitch is set to 1080P. 

 

If the 3.5 mm L/R analog audio output is not working, make sure your 
source is not sending multi-channel (Dolby, DTS, etc.) audio. In that case 
use the TOSLINK output or change the setting on your source device to 
output 2-channel PCM audio instead of multi-channel.
