HP Digital Entertainment Center

Dual screen

The HP Digital Entertainment Center can connect more
than one display device (CRT monitor, flat panel monitor,
TV, and so on) to the HP Digital Entertainment Center.

The display defaults to the monitor after turn on if you
have two displays connected. You must set up the TV
manually. This is also called “cloning”. The screen
resolution may change if you switch to two displays.

See “Viewing the screen image on a second display” on
page 142.

Changing screens

Once you have configured for dual screen, you can
quickly change where the HP Digital Entertainment Center
desktop appears by pressing Alt+F5. (Press the Alt key
and the F5 key on the keyboard at the same time.)

Each time you press the Alt+F5 key combination, the
HP Digital Entertainment Center desktop appears on the
next device. If Alt+F5 does not work, restart the HP Digital
Entertainment Center and try again.
