Forced HPD
The KD-HD1X1ProK allows modifying
HPD (Hot Plug Detection) protocol
between source and display. Modifying
HPD protocol will allow overcoming
HPD handshake incompatibility
between source and display. Modifying
HPD protocol may also help x other
problems related to HDMI connectivity.

To change EDID settings, use a small at bladed
screwdriver to turn the rotary switch towards the
desired EDID number. The switch has click positions
to make sure the arrow is pointing at a number, not
in-between. There is no need to power the unit off
when adjusting EDID settings. The unit will automatically
renegotiate the new handshake within a few seconds.
Please follow this procedure for subsequent EDID
changes.
When selecting an EDID from the library, your source device will “see” the KD-
HD1X1ProK EDID choice instead of the display’s EDID, overriding the display’s
own EDID information. If your display is not capable of accepting the video
resolution or audio type selected, you may not see a picture or hear sound. In this
case, please choose another more compatible EDID, or use the default EDID.
Rotary EDID Control Switch
Quick Setup Guide
With the power supply disconnected, connect the source’s HDMI cable to the
Input and the Display’s HDMI cable to the Output. If a specic EDID is required,
set it now (see ‘Settings’ below for more information regarding EDID). If using the
external audio output, make the connection at this time. At this point you may
power on your display, then the KD-HD1X1ProK followed by the source.

EDID Settings
There is a library of 16 built in EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) settings.
EDID is part of the HDMI “Handshake”. The default setting, ‘0’, copies the
display’s EDID information to the internal memory of the KD-HD1X1ProK. EDID
settings can help negotiate the HDMI handshake in certain situations and may
be necessary when connecting to or from an AV Receiver, or for passing 3D
content from a Cable or Satellite source. They may also speed up switching when
connected to a Cable or Satellite receiver.
