INTRODUCTION Computers and HDTV video source devices can sometimes lose the EDID -(which is basically the electronic identification of a display) which lists its possible resolutions and frequencies. When displays are switched away or disconnected and then reconnected, the EDID can be lost and the computer or HD video source device can lose the ability to display the image properly.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE HDMI DETECTIVE PLUS 1. Before proceeding, please ensure that the write protect switch is in the E (write enabled) position and all SETTING DIP SWITCHES are in the OFF (up) position Please see the diagram on the page 8. 2. Connect the display to the HDMI Out port on the HDMI Detective Plus. Turn on the display to ensure that an EDID is being transmitted. 3. Plug the supplied 5V DC power supply into the HDMI Detective Plus.
CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE HDMI DETECTIVE PLUS 5. Once a successful EDID record is complete, remove the 5V DC power supply from the HDMI Detective Plus. At this time, it is recommended that you write protect the HDMI Detective Plus to prevent an accidental overwrite. Please see page 9 for instructions on this procedure. 6. If HDCP is required by the source, the display must also be HDCP compliant and DIP SWITCH 4 will have to be enabled for HDCP pass through to function.
USING A PRE-PROGRAMMED EDID The HDMI Detective Plus includes 5 built-in manually-selectable generic EDIDs (display identities) for forcing several standard home theater setups with multichannel audio and standard HDTV resolutions. This functionality is vital when equipment reaches a state of indeterminate function and will not respond to signals or controls properly, and a certain resolution size with specific audio must be forced upon all connected equipment.
