Powered Speaker Audio Connection

You can connect active (powered) speakers directly to your HP Digital Entertainment Center. An active speaker system must have its own power cord.

You may need Y adapter cables (sold separately).

Y adapter cables

The HP Digital Entertainment Center has RCA-type output connectors. You may need to connect Y adapter cables between your HP Digital Entertainment Center analog audio output and your powered speaker inputs. You can also use them for audio inputs depending on your equipment.

Use Y adapter cables with one female 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) stereo mini-jack on one end and two male RCA connectors on the other end. These cables are sold separately.

The number of Y adapter cables you need to connect to your home stereo system depends on the number of speakers you install.
