72 HP Digital Entertainment Center
TV Source Overview
TV Signal Source Overview
You must connect a TV signal to the HP Digital
Entertainment Center for proper operation. You can
attach standard, analog NTSC TV and high-definition,
digital HDTV ATSC sources.
The back panel TV Source connectors are:
■ TV Source 1 In
■ TV Source 2 In
■ Cable/Antenna In (NTSC) RF
■ HDTV/SDTV Ant. In (ATSC) RF antenna
NTSC Standard TV
The NTSC back panel connectors are TV Source 1 In and
TV Source 2 In:
■ For an NTSC cable TV box, digital cable box, or
satellite receiver use TV Source 1 In or TV Source 2 In
(select models only).
■ For an NTSC analog cable RF coaxial connector use
Cable/Antenna In. For dual-tuner systems, the
Cable/Antenna In RF connector splits internally.
A set-top cable TV box is provided by your cable TV
provider to unscramble premium channels.
For Dual Tuner configurations, both TV sources must be of
the same type: either cable TV, digital cable TV, satellite
TV, or antenna. The TV sources must also have the same,
identical channel lineup; for example, if you are using
two satellite TV sources they must provide the exact same
channels. All TV viewing and scheduling is provided
through the Television Program Guide in Media Center,
so both TV sources must have identical Television Program
Guides.
The HP Digital Entertainment Center records television
and allows you to control the television channels. The
HP Digital Entertainment Center has two tuner
configurations available:

the same time, using two tuners
in NTSC.
