release the R and ACS keys. Using the factory default Format knob list will disable the

The format status on the LCD will indicate whether the unit is outputting HDMI or DVI
signal protocol from the Tx connector. An "H" in the format status (H8C in the example
above) indicates HDMI output; a "D" in the format status indicates DVI output.
Note: With the compliant Hot-plug Formats mode active and a hot-plug detected, the
generator automatically selects the appropriate TMDS output signal protocol (HDMI or
DVI) for the attached display (via EDID read).
7. If the output signal protocol is DVI, toggle to HDMI protocol by holding down the R key,
then pressing and releasing the G key.
The format status changes to "H" (from "D") on the LCD.
