Note: Changes to the DIP-switches only take effect
on power-up.

at a reduced bandwidth)
On—Normal range (factory default)
Off—Embedded audio (factory default)
On—Analog audio
Off—Automatic EDID acquisition (factory
default)
On—Lock (locks the current EDID so that
changes on the output do not result in changes
to the EDID)
Off—Auto (factory default)
On—Manual
