HP (Hewlett-Packard) Digital Entertainment Center ユーザーズマニュアル

You must have a TV signal into the HP Digital 
Entertainment Center for proper operation. The 
back panel connectors are TV Source 1 In and 
TV Source 2 In:

■

For a cable TV box, digital cable box, or satellite 
receiver: use TV Source 1 In or TV Source 2 In 
(select models only).

■

For an analog cable RF coaxial connector: use cable 
antenna.

A set-top cable TV box is provided by your cable TV 
provider to unscramble premium channels.

For Dual Tuner configurations, both TV sources must be of 
the same type: either cable TV, digital cable TV, satellite 
TV, or antenna. The TV sources must also have the same, 
identical channel line-up; for example, if you are using 
two satellite TV sources they must provide the exact same 
channels. All TV viewing and scheduling is provided 

through the Television Program Guide in Media Center, 
so both TV sources must have identical Television Program 
Guides.

The HP Digital Entertainment Center records television 
and allows you to control the television channels. The 
HP Digital Entertainment Center has two tuner 
configurations available:

Your standard television has one or more of the following 
video input connectors and cables:

■

Coaxial (RF)

■

Video (composite)

■

S-video

The type of video cable you need depends on your TV:

■

If your TV has an S-video jack, you need an S-video 
cable. Use an S-video cable to connect the TV Out 
on the HP Digital Entertainment Center to your TV. 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 TV has a composite video jack, you need a 
composite video cable.

You may need other or additional cables, depending on 
your TV signal source.

Do not switch video types such as connecting a Coaxial 
In and a Composite Out. Not all set-top-boxes and AV 
receivers support signal conversion.

Single tuner 
TV Source 
1 In

A single tuner allows you to watch or 
record one program only.

Dual tuner 
option TV 
Source 2 In

You can have dual TV inputs, if your 
HP Digital Entertainment Center 
includes the two TV tuner option. You 
can watch a show on one channel 
while Media Center records another 
show on a different channel. Or you 
can record two different programs at 
the same time, using two tuners.
