Configuring Video Output
You can configure your HP Digital Entertainment Center
video for dual display. For instance, you can view the
screen on your TV and your monitor if both are
connected. You can also set up additional displays. See
“Video Out to TV and Monitor” on page 71 to connect
your TV and monitor.
Video drivers change periodically; check HP Support for
updates.
Dual screen
The HP Digital Entertainment Center can connect more
than one display device (CRT monitor, flat panel monitor,
TV, and so on) to the HP Digital Entertainment Center.
The display defaults to the monitor on power up if you
have two displays connected. You must set up the TV
manually.
See “Viewing the screen image on a second display” on
page 135.
Changing screens
Once you have configured for dual screen, you can
quickly change where the HP Digital Entertainment Center
desktop appears by pressing Alt+F5. (Press the Alt key
and the F5 key on the keyboard at the same time.)
Each time you press the Alt+F5 key combination, the
HP Digital Entertainment Center desktop appears on the
next device. If Alt+F5 does not work, restart the HP Digital
Entertainment Center and try again.
n
Your TV and monitor must be connected to
the HP Digital Entertainment Center before
turning on the power to see the display on
two screens.
