For the HDMI formats, there are color codes that are applied to the Resolution and Frame Rate selections. The following
is a summary of their meaning:
A Resolution or Frame Rate with white lettering but with no outline – a Resolution or Frame Rate that appears in

the EDID and has a short video descriptor associated with it.
A Frame Rate with green lettering and with white outline – The Frame Rate that is currently selected.

A Frame Rate with red lettering but with no outline – The Frame Rate is not supported by the EDID for that

Resolution.
A Frame Rate(s) with green lettering and with white outline – The Frame Rate along with the currently selected

Resolution that is the ―preferred‖ timing.
A Frame Rate with black lettering but with no outline – The Frame Rate is not supported by the standard for the

selected resolution.
Note: When you make a physical connection to an HDMI HDTV, a hot plug event will occur. If Hot Plug Formats is
enabled on the Preference menu, when the hot plug event occurs, the 780 will read the EDID of the display device
connected to its output port. The output is automatically set to the preferred timing which is highlighted in green
following a hot plug.
