If the S-video and composite Video Out connections are not connected to a TV or video input when the HP Digital Entertainment Center is turned on, the S-video and composite jacks will turn off automatically.

You must restart to ensure Video Out connection to your TV or AV receiver. Press and hold down the On/Standby (power) button for 4 seconds to turn off your HP Digital Entertainment Center. After it shuts down, press the On/Standby button to turn on your HP Digital Entertainment Center.

If your TV and AV receiver has multiple input and output connections, then it has front panel input and output switches.

You must select the correct input and output from the TV and AV receiver front panel or remote control to hear sound and see video.

Component video output requires specific configurations for certain display types and resolutions. Go to http://www.hp.com/ support and select your model number for instructions on using component video.
