When selecting an EDID from the library, your source device will “see” the KD­HDDA1x1 EDID choice instead of the displays EDID, over riding the displays own
EDID information. If your display is not capable of accepting the video resolution or
audio type selected, you may not see a picture or sound. In this case please choose
another more compatible EDID, or use the default EDID.

Settings

There is a library of 10 built in EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) settings.
EDID is part of the HDMI “Handshake”. The default setting, ‘0’ copies the displays
EDID information to the internal memory of the KD-HDDA1x1. EDID settings can help
negotiate the HDMI handshake in certain situations and may be necessary when
connecting to or from an AV Receiver, or for passing 3D content derived from a Cable
or Satellite source. They may also speed up the switching when connected to a Cable
or Satellite receiver.

The possible EDID settings can range from ‘0’ to ‘9’. (‘0’ is the default).

To change EDID settings, use a small flat bladed screwdriver to turn the rotary switch
towards the EDID number desired. The switch has click positions to make sure the
arrow is pointing at a number, not in-between. There is no need to power the unit
off when adjusting the EDID settings. The unit will automatically renegotiate the new
handshake in a few seconds. Please follow this procedure for subsequent EDID
changes.
