Completing the setup wizard steps

If you did not complete the Media Center setup wizard steps the first time through, you can complete or change your selections by using the following procedure. You need to complete all of the required setup steps to access all of the Media Center features.

1 Press the Media Center Start button on the remote control, or, with your mouse, click

Start on the taskbar, and then click Media Center.

2 Select Settings. You may need to use the arrow keys on the keyboard or the arrow buttons on the remote control to scroll down to see all the menu items.

3 Select General, Media Center Setup, and then Run Media Center Setup Again. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the wizard.

n

You must select either analog or digital TV signals in the setup wizard for your TV tuner to work properly (select models only).

Following are some of the items included in the setup wizard:

■Check for your Internet connection. An Internet connection allows Media Center to display information about your music CDs, DVDs, and other media.

■Optimize how Media Center looks on your display. You can change display settings such as brightness, contrast, color, and centering.

■Set up your speakers. Select how many speakers you have and test them. Speakers are sold separately for some models.

■Configure your TV tuner, TV signal source, and Television Program Guide. You need to provide information about your TV signal source and your TV signal equipment (set-top box, cable, and so on). This step makes sure your HP Media Center PC receives the correct TV signal and Television Program Guide information. If you have a cable box or satellite receiver, the setup wizard programs your Media Center remote control to work with them.

■Display Calibration. You can test and adjust the display settings of your monitor, TV, or other display. You can use the Media Center video to help you change onscreen centering, sizing, aspect ratio (shape), brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness of the display with your TV remote control or your monitor controls.

n

You must subscribe with an Internet service provider (ISP) to have an Internet connection.
