Media Center Setup
This section shows you how to set up your computer to use 
the Media Center. There are many different methods you can 
use to connect your television and computer which are 
covered in the following sections.
Connecting to a Television
Your computer has TV-out capability, meaning you can 
connect it to a television and view the computer image on the 
television.
Using your computer’s integrated TV Tuner and the Microsoft 
Windows
®
 XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system, you 
can also record or view TV programs. 
If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm 
and are connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you 
should operate your computer using AC power mode. The AC 
adapter offers some protection against (but does not entirely 
prevent) possible electric shock caused by lightning. For 
complete protection, do not operate your computer during a 
thunderstorm.
Transmission quality may vary by location and channel.
For best results in recording or viewing, your computer requires the 
use of an external Set-top box or Cable Box using a high quality 
signal as the main source. Failure to comply with these instructions 
will not produce optimum recording or viewing quality. For more 
information, see 
.
