Video Out Overview
Video Out Connection Overview
The back panel connector that you hook up to your TV is
labeled Video Out.
Choose a Video Out connector and corresponding cable
that attaches to the back of your TV:
Standard definition television:
■ Video (composite)
■ S-video
■ 20-pin SCART (using provided adapter)
High definition capable plasma, LCD, or HDTV
display:
■ Video (composite)
■ S-video
■ VGA
■ DVI
Monitor:
■ VGA
■ DVI
The type of video cable you need depends on your TV:
■ If your TV has a composite video jack, you may need
a composite video cable.
■ If your TV has an S-video jack, you need an S-video
cable. An S-video cable provides separate color
and black-and-white image signals, and delivers a
sharper image than a composite video cable does.
■ If your TV has a 20-pin SCART input, use the
composite video output and the provided SCART
adapter. See “Using the SCART Adapter” on
page 65.
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.
When using an AV receiver, do not switch video types
such as connecting a Composite Out to a Component In.
Not all AV receivers support signal conversion.
