Using Standby Mode and Quick Resume Mode
You can use both Standby and Quick Resume modes to
save power when the HP Digital Entertainment Center is
not in use. There are some differences between these
settings which are outlined in the following sections.
You can have both Standby mode set and Quick Resume
mode enabled so that after a determined time-out period,
the PC reverts to Standby mode which places the PC in a
reduced power state. If you have both Standby mode and
Quick Resume mode set, Standby mode will override
Quick Resume mode unless the TV tuner is active (for
example, recording or playing a live TV). The PC does
not time-out to Standby mode; it remains in Quick Resume
mode and the fan remains running.
What is Standby Mode?
When the HP Digital Entertainment Center is in Standby
mode:
■ The display is turned off, audio is muted, the fan and
the hard disk are turned off, and the PC is set to a
minimal power setting.
■ The PC can automatically return to a full-powered
state and record a scheduled TV program.
■ The desktop can be displayed after several seconds
when you press the sleep button on your remote
control.
