HP (Hewlett-Packard) 2307890A Manuel D’Utilisation

The HP Digital Entertainment Center incorporates many 
functions into one unit:

■

An Internet connection through a wireless or wired 
network, using an Internet service provider (sold 
separately), allows the HP Digital Entertainment 
Center to access the Television Program Guide and 
Internet content sources.

■

A cable connection from a set-top box or antenna 
hookup (sold separately) allows the TV tuner inside 
the HP Digital Entertainment Center to select the TV 
channels.

■

An infrared transmitter (IR blaster) connection to 
a set-top box from the HP Digital Entertainment 
Center allows the HP Digital Entertainment Center to 
select the set-top box channels from the HP Digital 
Entertainment Center remote control.

■

Audio outputs from the HP Digital Entertainment 
Center to your TV speakers or AV receiver allow up 
to 7.1 surround sound.

■

Video outputs from the HP Digital Entertainment 
Center to your TV or AV receiver allow you to watch 
TV and to view the HP Digital Entertainment Center 
display.

■

An FM radio antenna connection allows the FM 
tuner inside the HP Digital Entertainment Center to 
select the FM radio channels.

■

The wireless keyboard with trackball or remote 
control allows you to operate the HP Digital 
Entertainment Center from the comfort of your couch.

How you connect the HP Digital Entertainment Center into 
your system depends on how you want to use it. The 
HP Digital Entertainment Center functions as a media 
source, with DVD and personal video player/recorders 
built in. Your AV receiver or TV functions as your audio/
video output switch.

To watch and record TV, video, and audio, you must first 
connect the HP Digital Entertainment Center inputs to your 
video, audio, and network sources.

■

To play back audio/video, you must connect the 
HP Digital Entertainment Center outputs to your 
sound system and TV/display.

■

To record audio/video, you must connect the 
HP Digital Entertainment Center inputs to your video 
source, such as a cable set-top box, satellite receiver, 
or antenna.

■

To update the Television Program Guide and use the 
Internet, you must also connect to a home network or 
DSL/cable modem.

If your HP Digital Entertainment Center has the dual-tuner 
option, each tuner must be connected to the same TV 
source. You can connect two cable set-top boxes, or two, 
satellite receivers, or an antenna with cable splitter. The 
Television Program Guide only supports one TV service 
provider channel lineup.

Audio and video output cables from the HP Digital 
Entertainment Center can be:

■

Routed through an AV receiver to provide an audio 
and video signal to your TV.

■

Routed directly to your TV.

Imagine the flow of your television signal into and out of 
the HP Digital Entertainment Center. To watch and record 
TV, your TV signal (for example, from a satellite) must flow 
into the HP Digital Entertainment Center. Then, for you to 
watch live or recorded TV, the HP Digital Entertainment 
Center must send the recorded TV shows out to your TV.
