Memory Card Reader

The HP Digital Entertainment Center card readers are on the front panel, located behind a door. Four horizontal card slots accept memory cards.

An in-use light-emitting diode (LED) indicates card reader activity when the HP Digital Entertainment Center is reading or writing data. Wait until the LED stops blinking before removing media.

Digital cameras and other digital devices use memory cards, or media, to store digital picture files.
