USING A

PRE-PROGRAMMED EDID

The DVI Detective Plus includes 5 built-in manually-
selectable generic EDIDs (display identities) for 
forcing several standard home theater setups with 
multi-channel 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 specifi c audio must be forced upon all 
connected equipment. On the next two pages are 
tables with the listed resolutions, refresh rates, and 
audio channels for each pre-programmed EDID. 
Once the desired EDID is chosen, use the steps 
below to program the DVI Detective Plus.

1. 

Choose the desired EDID from the table above 
and enable the corresponding DIP SWITCHES.

2. 

Remove any DVI cables and power supplies 
attached to the DVI Detective Plus.

3. 

Follow steps 3 through 8 in the section 
CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE DVI 
DETECTIVE PLUS (Page 4 and 5)

NOTE:  Only when the DIP SWITCHES are set in 
the combinations above will an pre-programmed 
EDID be written to the DVI Detective Plus. Please 
set all DIP SWITCHES to the OFF (down) position to 
enable the default setting and record an EDID from 
an attached display.
