EDID
L EARNING
The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever you encounter any display on the HDMI output port that cannot play audio and video properly. Because the HDMI source devices and displays may have various level of capability in playing audio and video, the general principle is that the source device will output the lowest standards in audio format and video resolutions to be commonly acceptable among all HDMI displays.
FAQ
Can every TV work with the HDMI matrix? Basically, the answer is YES. But if your TV cannot support 1080p, please refer the EDID LEARNING section to learn EDID from your TV. What is EDID? Why do I need to learn EDID? EDID contains the whole information of the display such as the resolution and audio setting which this display can support.
