how to install Black Box Audio/Video Extender

Follow these general steps for a straightforward setup. This guidance assumes a standard HDMI source, copper cabling, and a display unit compatible with 4K60 HDR content.

• Power down all devices before connecting. This helps prevent any potential short-term signal issues during initial hookup.
• Connect the HDMI output from your source device (Blu-ray player, game console, streaming box) to the HDMI input port on the extender. Use a high-quality HDMI cable to ensure a stable signal at 4K60 and 4:4:4 color.
• Connect the extender’s copper transmission path to the receiving end (or to the compatible copper run in your setup). If using a kit with transmitter and receiver, ensure both units are properly linked and powered.
• Attach the receiving unit’s HDMI output to your display (TV or projector). Verify the display input is set to the correct HDMI channel and that the display supports 4K60 HDR content.
• Power on the source, extender, and display. If IR control is used, ensure the IR blaster/receiver is placed for optimal line-of-sight coverage. Confirm that HDR and HDCP 2.2 are active on the source and display; some devices require enabling HDR in system settings.
