Configuring Audio Output

You must adjust the audio settings in two places after you have installed and connected the HP Digital Entertainment Center to your audio system.

Configure both the Media Center speaker settings and audio for the DVD player.

The following table shows which procedures to perform for your audio system. If you set up speakers using the Media Center Optional Components wizard, then set up the audio for the DVD player only.
