Connecting TV Source In
TV Source Connectors Overview
Your standard television set-top box has one or more of 
the following video output connectors and cables:
Coaxial (RF)
Video (composite)
S-video
Do not switch video types such as connecting S-video In 
to TV Source 1 and Composite Video In to TV Source 2 or 
a Coaxial In and a Composite Out. Not all set-top boxes 
and AV receivers support signal conversion.
The type of video cable you need depends on your 
set-top box:
If your set-top box has an S-video jack, you need an 
S-video cable to connect the HP Digital Entertainment 
Center to your set-top box. An S-video cable 
provides separate color and black-and-white image 
signals, and delivers a sharper image than a 
composite video cable.
If your set-top box has a composite video jack, you 
need a composite video cable.
If you are connecting dual NTSC set-top box sources 
to the HP Digital Entertainment Center dual NTSC 
tuner with an composite video connection, use a 
composite to S-video adapter (sold separately) on TV 
Source 2 in.
You may need other or additional cables, depending on 
your TV signal source.
Connecting a set-top box 
A standard cable set-top box has only NTSC channels, 
but you can connect a UHF/VHF antenna to view HDTV 
ATSC channels also. 
A set-top cable TV box is provided by your cable TV 
provider to unscramble premium channels. You cannot 
record digital TV if using the HP Digital Entertainment 
Center with an HDTV cable box or HDTV satellite box. 
Use an antenna to record digital TV. 
If you can receive HDTV channels through cable or 
satellite providers, connect the signal directly to your 
TV/display. Refer to your TV/display documentation.
