The sleeve of the 3.5mm Male connector must have good physical contact
with 3.5 mm Female input/output on the KD-X411ProK/POHK.
Some 3.5mm Male plugs feature a plastic
sleeve that extends longer than an average
sleeve. This may cause poor grounding
contact. See the example on the left.

EDID Control
EDID authentication is provided from the KD-X411ProK/KD-X411POHK Tx unit to
the connected input / source device. The EDID file (AKA “handshake”) is selected
using the EDID Control rotary on the Tx unit and provides a list of compatible video
and audio formats as well as digital data, informing the source device what it should
output. Most sources will comply with a new EDID file without a power-cycle, but
each source may behave differently. Adjustments

Forced Hot Plug Detection (HPD)
Hot Plug Detection (HPD) may be forced on the Tx Rx unit in order to provide
connected devices with necessary voltage to inform the device that a partner
(display) is connected and active. If the Control rotary is set to any HPD Bypass
setting, HPD signals from the output to the input device will pass as normal. In
cases of many layers of connectivity, HPD may be lost leading to no signal at the
display. In those cases, fix the Control rotary to any Forced HPD setting.
