serial controller devices, or home theater system. The controller’s serial port should be configured
as shown in Table 6-1.
When using a monitor (EDID-compliant) for display, the unit’s EDID Copy function will enable
EDID communication between the monitor and the unit for optimal video quality. Follow these
steps:
