if the displays are properly. Factory default setting is on TV mode.
Notes:
1. When EDID switch to TV the device will detect the first HDMI output
source’sEDID from A~D and record in t
he unit regardless of the HDMI output source from E~H. If the first
detected output source is DVI it will pass to next source,until the first
HDMI is detected. The detection priority is HDMI v1.3 > HDMI v1.2 > DVI.
Therefore, to ensure all output displayable outpt E~H must obtain lower
standard than output A~D.
2. When EDID is on STD, the device will use the built-in EDID
