5. Reset Functionality
To reset the unit, press and hold the MENU button then re-plug the DC power
into the unit to set the unit back to factory default, with output resolution
as NATIVE. This feature is also useful when the output is scaled to a resolution
not supported by the connected TV/monitor so no picture is shown, because
the NATIVE resolution can guarantee the proper (might not be the best) output.
