What will DVDO EDGE GREEN do for you?
DVDO EDGE GREEN will improve the quality of your experience with your home audio and video system.
EDGE GREEN achieves this by acting as an intelligent central switching hub and video processor. It connects all of your audio/video
source devices to your high definition TV and AV receiver. It makes switching from one component to another simple.
Most home audio video setups consist of a number of separate components that must be connected together. The task of connecting,
configuring, optimizing and operating the system is left to the user. EDGE GREEN excels at handling these tasks for you.
DVDO EDGE GREEN is a unique product that helps to simplify your system’s interconnections, while delivering ease of use and world
class video processing to your high definition television. The more components your system has, the more you benefit from the
simplification and performance that DVDO EDGE GREEN can deliver.
EDGE GREEN features a number of technical innovations. High performance video processing delivers outstanding picture quality.
Ease of use features include automatic input switching, based on predetermined priority, so switching audio/video sources is as simple
as powering on a component. Controls for Aspect Ratio, Zoom, and Picture Controls are customizable for each input.
EDGE GREEN features dual HDMI output connectors, one for video/audio and a 2nd dedicated audio HDMI connector. This
configuration delivers optimal performance and ease of use in systems with both a digital display and an AV Receiver. EDGE GREEN
communicates with your display to obtain its preferred format, then automatically adjusts its processing to produce a high definition
image to match the display’s preferred format.
EDGE GREEN communicates with your AV Receiver to learn its audio capabilities, then combines display information and relays
system capability back to the source components, which provide optimized output. You can let EDGE GREEN manage your system
or if you prefer, you can manually control your system through EDGE GREEN. Either way, EDGE GREEN makes it easier.
DVDO Edge Green is a result of a vision: Using a home Audio/Video system, with high definition video and surround sound audio
should be and can be much easier.
This Owner’s Manual will help you set up your EDGE GREEN, and provide the necessary information required to get the best picture
quality to your display. It will also show you how to properly use EDGE GREEN with the other components in your system.

Using DVDO EDGE GREEN in a Basic Home AV System (with no AV Receiver)
The illustration above shows a basic home audio/video system using DVDO EDGE GREEN. The components on the left are
“sources.” Sources are DVD Players, set top boxes, or any other component that produces an audio and video signal. These audio
and video signals connect to the inputs of the EDGE GREEN, and the output of EDGE GREEN connect to a TV. EDGE GREEN
switches audio and video signals, and provides image processing to match the incoming video formats to the preferred format of the
TV.
The source components may use a variety of different signal formats and cabling. EDGE GREEN can accept most commonly used
cabling, and can handle a mix of cabling and format types. In the illustration above, two of the sources have HDMI outputs, while the
third one uses an older analog audio and video interface. Three sources are shown above, EDGE GREEN can accept up to ten.
Section 1: Introduction
15
Using DVDO EDGE GREEN in a Home System AV System with AV Receiver
EDGE GREEN is optimized for use in a system with an AV Receiver as shown above. It has a dedicated audio HDMI output port, and
an Optical audio output for AV Receivers without HDMI inputs. EDGE GREEN accepts audio and video from the source components,
then routes video to the TV and audio to the AV Receiver. Switching source components is simple; EDGE GREEN handles the audio
and video routing details.
EDGE GREEN provides automatic, intelligent communication between the source devices on the left, and the TV and AV Receiver on
the right. EDGE GREEN automatically adjusts its internal processing to produce the preferred video format of your digital TV or
display.
When used with an AV
Receiver, Edge Green
handles the video
processing and switching,
while the AV Receiver
does the audio surround
sound processing.

Customizing EDGE GREEN Settings
After you’ve completed the connections to EDGE GREEN, you are ready to begin customizing settings. Fortunately, this process can
mostly be done automatically by EDGE GREEN itself as it senses the various devices that have been connected to it. Depending on
what you have connected, you may need to pair the audio and video signals together (if they’ve been hooked up separately).
AUTOMATIC SETTINGS OPTIONS
Most settings can be handled automatically by EDGE GREEN. As you follow the instructions in this section, keep this in mind. EDGE
GREEN offers advanced users and custom installers extensive options to manually override the automated settings, but as a rule of
thumb, if you experience no problems with automated settings you probably should not change them.
SAFE MODE
As you begin adjusting settings, one thing to keep in mind is the Safe Mode feature. Safe Mode is a failsafe feature intended to restore
the picture when technical problems are preventing it from appearing on the TV screen. Safe Mode does this by temporarily returning
the display output format to automatic, and by temporarily suspending features that can cause loss of picture. (The features that are
suspended include 1:1 Frame Rate, Deep Color, and Output Format selection.)
Safe Mode is entered and exited by pressing the SAFE button on the EDGE GREEN remote.
SAFE button on remote activates
Safe Mode. Press this button if
you can’t see a picture to change
display format and turn off certain
features.

The EDGE GREEN Display Wizard
When you first power up EDGE GREEN you will see The Display Wizard. The Display Wizard adjusts EDGE GREEN’s digital video
output to match the specifications of your TV set or projector. It also provides the opportunity to name the display.
BASIC USERS TAKE NOTE:
THE DISPLAY WIZARD IS COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC.
You can skip the steps on the next few pages completely, and let EDGE GREEN automatically assign a name to your display,
and automatically select video and audio output formats.
Skip past this Display Wizard setup by pressing the LEFT ARROW key on the remote control to EXIT WIZARD when the
Display Wizard appears on your TV screen.
If you do this, then:
The name assigned automatically by EDGE GREEN will be based on the model number of the display (see example on next
page).
EDGE GREEN can automatically sense your display’s “native resolution.”
EDGE GREEN can automatically sense which audio output you are probably using.
You will only need to make changes to these automatic settings if you experience difficulties or have special circumstances.
To accept the automatic settings, press the left arrow key to EXIT WIZARD.
THEN, PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP: THE INPUT WIZARD (page 29)

input that is paired with the current video
input.
For most HDMI inputs, you do not have to
Associate Audio. Exit the Input Wizard.
(Exception: DVI sources using HDMI
adapter connections)
