EDID Settings (PLEASE READ, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT):
The functionality of the switch will depend on how you select the Dip Switches below. Please read the instruc-
tions
and explanations below to understand the purpose of different configurations.
There are four DIP switches on the back of the 8x8 matrix switcher. Below you will find the definition of each
one of the dip switches.

DIP#1: Auto EDID Management (ADM) is a smart function which will allow users to have matrix switch figure out
the best and most appropriate EDID.
The way it works: Atlona 8x8 matrix acquires EDID from all the outputs and after processing it, chooses the EDID
which will work on all the outputs.
Example # 1: User has 8 outputs connected where 6 of the outputs are 1080P TV’s only and the other 2 locations
are 720P TV’s. The Atlona’s EDID would be 720P with 2-channel Stereo (because most TV’s will only be able to take
stereo audio though HDMI input).
Example # 2: User has 8 outputs connected, where 6 outputs are 1080P TV’s and the remaining are 2 x Surround
Sound Receivers (after connected to the TV’s for video only). The Atlona’s EDID would be 1080P with Stereo or
PCM (because most TV’s will only take Stereo Audio though HDMI input).
Remark: If you don’t like the Auto EDID Management functions, switcher has some pre-recorded modes which will
certainly satisfy you.
DIP#2: This function is very similar to Note # 1; however it is designed for users who have very long CAT5/6/7 ca-
bles and signal is going in and out. This DIP Switch setting will replace some of the hdmi control signals with video,
which will allow picture to stabilize.
DIP#3: Atlona Switcher has a few built-in EDID modes; this mode is for resolutions up to 1080P with Stereo Audio.
When this mode is selected the deep-color will be disabled. Deep-color will only work on new TV’s which were built
after April 2009. If you know that one of the displays doesn’t support deep color, we suggest to use this setting or DIP
# 1 setting for signal to be reliable.
