EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)  
When the HDDA is completely connected and turned on it will load the Internal EDID™  
automatically, which supports the highest common native video resolution and audio format of the  
devices.  
Example: With a mix of resolutions and audio formats the HDDA will default to the highest  
common video resolution and audio format. In the diagram below the default would be 720p with  
2ch audio. Multi-channel audio and 3D are not enabled on internal mode, unless all devices  
support these features.

Captive Screw  
Captive screw balanced audio connector is an added feature on the Atlona HDMI Distribution  
Amplifier. The Captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables down to a suitable length,  
reducing cable clutter while providing a more reliable connection.  
Connecting  
When connecting a cable to the audio captive screw connector it is important that the wires are  
correctly terminated. The captive screw connector (see picture A) has a contact plate at the top and  
must have the wire touch it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture B) the signal will  
pass, incorrectly (see picture C) no signal will pass.  
The captive screw connector ports have a contact bar that is adjusted to compress the wire against  
the top contact plate. Use the screws at the top of the connector to compress the wire against the  
contact plate.  
Counter  
Clockwise

C
Clockwise  
Turn the screws clockwise to  
raise the contact bar to the upper  
contact plate and hold the wires  
in place.  
Turn the screws counter clockwise  
to lower the contact bar to release  
the wires.  
The HDDA supports two different types of audio  
terminations: balanced and unbalanced. To be sure which to  
use, refer to the manual for the connected device.  
Balanced audio left and right connections consist of a  
negative, a positive, and a ground.  
Audio  
Note: Jacket colors may vary by cable manufacturer, be sure to use  
the same pin out on the left as on the right or audio performance  
may be undesirable.  
Unbalanced audio consists of a positive and a ground for left  
and right connections.

With pre-stripped wires the AT-LC-CS-2CH-2M (purchase  
separately at atlona.com) provides an easy to integrate  
unbalanced audio connection. Refer to the picture on the right  
for an example of a terminated unbalanced connection.
