Before permanently securing the unit for nal installation of cabling behind walls or ceilings, test for
proper operation of the unit and the cables in your system.
It is recommended that you leave enough ventilation space to provide sufcient airow and
cooling, especially if you are going to leave the unit powered at all times.
An optional HDMI cable clip (included) enables a method for securing HDMI cables the HDMI
connectors on the back of the units and helps defeat intermittent or complete signal loss due to
poor connection.
Active Input / Output LED Indicators
›The front LEDs indicate that a valid HDMI / DVI-D connection is made between the KD-HDDA Pro
unit and each Input / Output.
DVI Applications for KD-HDDA Pro Series

Example of EDID Auto Select:
If one of your system’s displays supports 1080p and the second display only supports up to
1080i (does not support 1080p), then the highest common EDID format supported is 1080i. By
choosing the Auto Select EDID Setting, your KD-HDDA Pro unit will inform your source device to
output 1080i in order to ensure all displays receive a supported signal.
