AV Receiver Equipment Overview

You can connect audio and video from the HP Digital Entertainment Center, through an AV receiver, to the TV input.

Use this method to connect AV receivers or audio-only home receiver/amplifiers that have standard RCA type input connectors. You may have to select a front panel button on your AV receiver to switch audio inputs to hear sound.

Connecting a home stereo to an HP Digital Entertainment Center typically requires audio cables that are long enough to connect from the HP Digital Entertainment Center to the stereo or AV receiver. You may need to purchase additional cables.
