About EDIDs
You only need to manually copy an EDID to an input if you have a
display connected to the HDMI output port that cannot play audio and
video properly.
Sources output the lowest standards in audio format and video
resolutions to be commonly acceptable among all HDMI displays. You
can force your MX-65xx to learn the EDID of your least capable HDMI
display make sure all displays can play the HDMI signals normally.
Read about copying EDIDs using the front panel or remote control on
page 8.
Read more about copying EDIDs using MX-Tools on page 12.
