your TV and AV receiver.

initial turn on, using the Media Center software settings.

If the S-video and composite Video Out
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 to ensure Video Out
connection to your TV or AV receiver. Press
and hold down the On/Standby (power)
button for 4 seconds to turn off your HP
Digital Entertainment Center. After it shuts

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 http://www.hp.com/
