Thank you for purchasing the Luxi Electronics EHD-111 HDMI Extender. Please read through this
manual before using the product.
Always carry at least one of these products with you to the job site
As you know, HDMI systems have potentially more problems than an analog system and can be very
difficult to troubleshoot. Luxi Electronics has two unique products, the HDMI Extender (in this manual)
and the HDMI Communicator, to address the two most common HDMI problems. To save your
valuable time to and from the job site and look good in front of the customers, we recommend you to
carry at least one each of the Luxi HDMI Extenders and Communicators in your tool box all the time so
when you encounter most of the HDMI problems, you can just apply one of them to fix the problem on
the spot.
Troubleshoot first; apply the right product for the problem
First design and install the HDMI system without the Luxi HDMI Extender or Communicator. If the
system works, great; if not, follow these steps to determine the problem and apply the right product:
1) First bring the source device next to the display and connect the two directly with a short (6’)
HDMI cable to verify if the display is compatible with the source.
2) Lower the source device output data rate (primarily the resolution) by one step (e.g., from 1080p
to 1080i/720p, or from 1080i/720p to 480p), then reconnect the source device back to its original
place in the system.
3) If now you have picture or sound, then the problem you had was most likely bandwidth or cable
length related problem; most likely one of the HDMI cables is too long. Unplug the connector of
that cable to the TV (sink) end, plug in the Luxi HDMI Extender in between that cable and the TV
(sink) input. You should have picture and sound now. If the problem still there, contact your
distributor or Luxi Electronics.
4) If after step 2 you still do not have picture or sound, then the problem is most likely
communication (also known as DDC, HDCP, handshaking) problem. Unplug the cable to your TV
(or receiver); plug in the Luxi HDMI Communicator in between that cable and the TV (or receiver)
input. You should have picture and sound now. If the problem still there, contact your distributor
or Luxi Electronics.
