Nchọpụta nsogbu

If you encounter issues with your ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 3.0, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Issue: "No audio or video" / "Poor quality video" / "Intermittent signal" / "Defective transfer of image" / "Worked for a few minutes, but then the video image disappeared" / "Won't read VCR signal"

   • Ensure your VCR or camcorder is in fully working condition, including its "AV OUT" port. If your VCR or camcorder hasn’t been used in several years, it likely needs a tune-up, repair, or cleaning. Ensure your tapes are in working condition and are playable. To test, connect your video source directly to a TV to verify playback there.
   • Ensure your AV cable is securely plugged into your “AV OUT” ports (usually in the back) on your video source (VCR, camcorder, etc.), not the “AV IN” ports.
   • Ensure the “Video Source” setting in the converter's main menu is set correctly.
   • If you are using S-Video, ensure you have hooked up the red/white RCA audio connectors to receive audio as well, since S-Video only contains a video signal.
   • Camcorder users: ensure you are using the correct type of AV cable for your camcorder.

2. Issue: "The recorded video is jerky or glitchy" or "Video is flickering" or "Picture is jumpy"

   • This can be resolved by recording from your video source's "S-VIDEO OUT" port instead of "AV OUT" port. (Make sure you also change the Video Source to “S-Video” in the converter’s main menu.)
   • If your video source does not have an "S-VIDEO OUT" port, please contact ClearClick and they may be able to mail you an "AV to S-VIDEO" adapter.

3. Issue: "Converted MP4 file is unreadable or corrupt"

   • Ensure you press the "Rec/Stop" button on the converter to stop recording, prior to removing your USB drive or SD card from the converter.
   • After pressing the "Rec/Stop" button to stop recording, wait 5-10 seconds before removing your USB drive or SD card from the converter, so that the converter can save the file nke ọma.

4. Issue: "Transferred video and audio is out of sync"

   • Ensure you are using a brand name USB 3.0 drive or SD card (class 10 or higher). Generic brand drives are too slow to be used with the converter.
   • Ensure your USB drive or SD card is 512 GB or less.

5. Issue: "Can't record from HDMI"

   • The converter's HDMI port is an output port, not an input port. This device does not record from HDMI sources (only AV and S-Video).
