8.7.11 CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) [CEC CONNECTION]
You can select the channel for connecting CEC when a device with CEC is connected to HDMI input and
output connectors.
･ NOT CONNECTED [Default]
･ SELECTED CHANNEL
･ IN1
･ IN2
･ IN3
･ IN4
･ IN5
Note 1:
Using CEC may cause the following negative effects. If you do not use CEC, set this menu to “NOT
CONNECTED.”
If the status of the display devices connected to the HDMI output connector changes (such as being turned
OFF→ON) or if the CEC connection changes, the EDID may also need to be changed (the MSD changes it
automatically) in order to update the address of the connected device. When the EDID is changed, the source
device stops outputting video temporarily. Note the following points to not make the EDID change at the time
of operation.
● The MSD refers to the address of display device at the time of CEC connection. However, if display device
is turned off or if the display device has multiple HDMI input connectors and a connector to which the MSD
is connected is not selected, the MDS sometimes cannot load the address. (Address may be loaded
depending on display devices.) Since the MSD saves the address of the last-used display device, EDID is
not normally changed even if the display device status changes. However, when a display device is
connected for its first time, EDID may possibly be changed. Therefore, before operation, connect a display
device under the same CEC connection status to make the MSD recognize the address of the display
device.
● If you select “SELECTED CHANNEL”, the CEC connection changes when you switch inputs. If you
connect display devices to each output having an address that is different from the MSD settings, the
EDID is changed when CEC connections are changed. If you select “SELECTED CHANNEL”, make sure
to connect display devices having the same addresses.
● If a display device has multiple HDMI input connectors, each connector has the specific address that is
different from each other. If connecting display devices of the same model to each MSD output, connect
them to the same input connector of the display device. If you connect devices such as a repeater between
the output of the MSD and a display device, the addresses may not be
matched. In this case, set this menu to an option other than “SELECTED
CHANNEL”. The addresses of the display devices connected to each output
connector are displayed on the upper right.
Note 2:
CEC connection is a one-on-one basis; it cannot connect multiple inputs and outputs. If you set multiple
outputs to connect to the same input, only a smaller output number is connected preferentially and other
outputs are not connected. For example, if you set both OUT1 and OUT2 to IN2, OUT1 is connected to IN2,
while OUT 2 is not connected.
