1. HDMI Outputs 1 ~ 4: Connect your HD TV or other HD device with HDMI
cables.

2. EDID Control Switch: Default setting is TV (downstream). In this mode the

QU-14WE will search all output ports (starting at output 1) for the highest

video/audio settings connected to each of the outputs.

The detection priority

of the matrix is v1.3 HDMI, v1.2 HDMI, DVI.

Switch to STD (xed EDID) if
you have any issues with the default setting (TV). When switching to STD,
please ensure that the unit is powered OFF, then ON again, for the setting to
be made. By changing to STD, this will force the source to be congured as
standard stereo (PCM) Audio and initiate a search for a common compatible

video resolution.

Note: When in STD mode the deep color is suggest to switch to 8-bit for longer distant

display.

2CH/Multi CH – Supports 2 channels or Multi audio channels audio function. This

selection is only available when EDID is in STD mode.
Note: When Multi CH is selected TV/display must also supports Multi CH function
otherwise, TV/display will have no audio output. Unless, HDMI output connect to Amp and
then to TV/display.

8/12 bit – Supports 8 or 12 bit’s deep color function. This selection is only available
when EDID is in STD mode.
Note: When HDMI output has both 8-bit and 12-bit displays, to ensure all output will

display, switch to 8-bit.
On the other hand, when all output are with the same bit’s displayer of 12-bit or 8-bit then

switch the function to 12-bit or 8-bit will be proper. The splitter will not function according

to different bits’ of display on HDMI outputs simultaneously

3. System reset function: It is suggested that this function is switched OFF,
except when doing system reset. By switching this ON the system will

reset TV to HDMI Input within 8~10 minutes. Switching to OFF means CEC

bypass.

functionality.
