the following Video Out connectors and cables:

■ Component (Y, Pb, Pr)
For a plasma, LCD, or HDTV display, choose one of the
following Video Out connectors and cables:
■ VGA

Equipment: The TV, AV receiver, and some
cables are not included with the HP Digital Entertainment
Center. See the documentation that came with your TV
and AV receiver.
Configuration: You can adjust the TV display, after
initial turn-on, using the Media Center software settings.
See “Initial Configuration” on page 121.
Procedure:
1 Connect a video cable from the HP Digital

If the Video Out S-video and composite
connections are not connected to a TV or
video input when the HP Digital
Entertainment Center is turned on, the S-video
and composite jacks will turn off
automatically.
You must restart; press and hold down the
power button for four seconds to restart your
HP Digital Entertainment Center to ensure
Video Out connection to your TV or AV
receiver.
If your TV and AV receiver has multiple input
and output connections, then it has front
panel input and output switches.
You must select the correct input and output
from the TV and AV receiver front panel or
remote control to hear sound and see video.
Component video output requires specific
configurations for certain display types and
resolutions. Go to your model number page
