Connecting Video Out
Video Out to TV
Switching: If you have multiple audio/video inputs on
your TV, you can use your TV as an audio/video switch
and control inputs though your TV remote.
Connectors: Choose a Video Out connector and
corresponding cable that attaches to the back of your TV.
(If your TV uses a 20-pin SCART input, use the composite
video output and the provided SCART adapter. See
“Using the SCART Adapter” on page 65.)
Equipment: The TV and some cables are sold
separately. Refer to the documentation that came with
your TV/display. You can also connect a video projector
using this procedure.
Configuration: You can adjust the TV display, after
initial turn on, using the Media Center software. See
“Initial Configuration” on page 121.
Procedure: Connect a video cable from the HP Digital
Entertainment Center back panel Video Out directly to the
TV Video In.

and hold down the On/Standby (power)
button for 4 seconds to turn off your
