using the supplied HDMI cables.

resolution be placed on the HDMI port labeled OUT 1. This way, all of the 
displays should be able to display an image when the external EDID mode is 
active.

Please see page 7 for a description of the RMT2-IR remote control.

EDID Modes and Reset Buttons

The EDID source is selectable between the display connected to the HDMI 
output port labeled OUT 1 or the built-in internal EDID. These 2 modes are 
selectable by toggling the EDID button located on the back panel. To switch 
modes, follow the instructions below.

1.  Note the current EDID mode by viewing the front panel’s LED array. If the 

INT LED is active the internal EDID mode is in use. If the EXT LED is active 
the external EDID mode is in use.

2.  If the currently selected EDID mode is not the desired EDID mode, press the 

EDID button on the rear panel once. The active LED will now switch and the 
new EDID mode will become active once the unit is reset.

3.  Press the reset button to cycle power and initiate the newly selected EDID 

mode.

The EDID carries import information that the source reads to determine what 
resolutions and features are supported. The internal EDID has support for 
resolutions up to 1080p and includes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD features.
