DVD video in component video, due to copy protection
measures.
To play a commercial DVD video in component video, the
resolution format must be set to 480i or 480p. The DVD
will not play after it is inserted into the drive, and you

You can also click Start on the taskbar, and
select Media Center.

your TV supports 480p mode.)

Display procedure to return the desktop image and
Media Center to a higher resolution format. See
“Adjusting the Desktop Display” on page 143.
Adjusting the Display from the Desktop
You can also use the following procedures to adjust the
TV video settings. These procedures are examples only
and may vary depending on your TV/display type,
supported formats, and video out connections. You may
have to perform the procedure more than once to
optimize the image.
You can use this window to adjust the TV video image in
component video out. This window is not available for
single displays in HDMI, DVI, or VGA video out. Use the
Media Center HP Settings wizard to adjust these displays.
Before you begin, verify that the video equipment is
properly connected to the HP Digital Entertainment Center
and turned on, and ensure that your TV screen is set to
normal mode (not letter-box, wide or re-sized).
