TV Display Overview
The HP Digital Entertainment Center allows you to
connect to a TV to view the monitor image on a TV
screen. With the TV connected, you can view the
HP Digital Entertainment Center image, watch TV or
DVD movies, or play games on your TV. See “Video Out
to TV and Monitor” on page 69. You must manually set up dual displays (clone).
Only either the TV or monitor, not both, will display after
initial turn on. See “Dual screen” on page 142.
