HP (Hewlett-Packard) Digital Entertainment Center Manuel D’Utilisation

Some tasks on the HP Digital Entertainment Center require 
that you leave Media Center and use the Windows XP 
desktop. Because Windows XP is not specifically 
designed for TV, some messages and dialogs may be 
difficult to read on some TVs.

Lowering the display resolution can make messages and 
dialogs easier to read by enlarging the text. This utility 
has three common resolutions. This utility does not change 
the resolution within Media Center, but raises or lowers 
the resolution of the Windows XP desktop display.

To adjust the Windows desktop display resolution:

Press Media Center on the remote control.

You can also click Start on the taskbar, and 
select Media Center.

Click More Programs, HP Settings, and then 
Resolution.

Click OK.

Choose your display resolution: High, Medium, 
or Low.

Select advanced display settings if the resolution 
provided in the utility still cannot display on your 
TV well:

Click the Advanced button. The Windows 
Display Properties displays.

At the Settings tab, select the resolution that 
provides the best viewing.

This window is easier to read on a monitor. You 
can lower the display resolution to read the 
window. You will need the keyboard and mouse.

Click Apply. 

Click Exit.

To open the Display Properties window from the 
Windows desktop:

■

Right click on the desktop. Select Properties.

■

Click Start, Control Panel, Appearance, and 
then click Display (recommended for monitor 
display).
