Video Input Selection
The desired video input can be selected by the Video Select button on the front panel. The
selection order of the inputs is following:
Audio Input Selection
The audio selection depends on the selected video input. After the Audio Select button is
pushed, the next input will be chosen. Audio LEDs give you a feedback.
If analog video input is selected (DVI-A and VGA) all audio inputs can be chosen.
In case of digital video inputs, you can select the embedded audio input of the selected video
input (either DVI-D or HDMI, only one of them), the analog audio 1, analog audio 2 and the
S/PDIF audio inputs.
The inputs can be also selected by using LDC (Lightware Device Controller), sending a
protocol command, or using Autoselect.

EDID Memory
 Switching EDID for any inputs is available only with rotary switches.
Each video input has own, separated EDID rotary switch and has the same EDID memory structure.
Address #0: copy of the last attached monitor’s EDID from connected receiver.
Address #1: Lightware’s UNIVERSAL EDID.
Address #2..#5: factory preprogrammed EDIDs and cannot be changed.
Address #6..#9: user programmable.
Selecting and EDID
Turn the EDID ADDRESS rotary switches
to the desired position. Use a at head
screwdriver to change the address. The
EDID status LED provides feedback.
 Avoid the use of keys, coins, knives and other sharp objects.
Learning EDID
The input ports have separate EDID memory. To use the same EDID on different inputs, each
input has to be taught separately.

Learning is not available in Autoselect mode.
1. Connect the sink device to the RX’s MONITOR OUT (or select an EDID on OPT-IB).
2. Turn the EDID ADDRESS rotary switches to the desired position, where you want to store
the attached display’s EDID (between user addresses #6..#9).
3. Press and hold the LEARN button for approximately 3 seconds. The EDID Status LED
provides feedback.
