To connect a TV to the HP Digital Entertainment Center, you may need a video cable and an audio cable. Use a video cable to connect the Video Out on the HP Digital Entertainment Center to your TV Video In. These cables are included in the box. You may need other or additional cables, depending on your TV or monitor.

When using an AV receiver, the Video Out cable can be connected directly to a TV and just the audio is connected and switched through an AV receiver, or video and audio are connected and switched through an AV receiver.

Not all AV receivers support signal conversion.

Some HP Digital Entertainment Center models output NTSC only.
