40 HP Digital Entertainment Center
AV Receiver Audio Connection
You can connect your HP Digital Entertainment Center to
your home stereo or home theater multichannel AV
receivers or audio amplifiers using your existing
speakers.
AV Receiver Equipment Overview
You can connect audio and video from the HP Digital
Entertainment Center, through an AV receiver, to the TV
input.
Use this method to connect AV receivers or audio-only
home receiver/amplifiers that have standard RCA-type
input connectors. You may have to select a front
panel button on your AV receiver to switch
audio inputs to hear sound.
Use the 2.1 configuration for multichannel AV receivers
that have only left and right audio inputs.
Connecting a home stereo to an HP Digital Entertainment
Center typically requires audio cables that are long
enough to connect from the HP Digital Entertainment
Center to the stereo or AV receiver. Additional cables are
sold separately.

You can also connect video through your AV
