to remove the black border and optimize Video Out display settings. See
“TV/Display Setup Wizard” on page 5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

the nVidia Display Wizard. See “TV/Display Setup Wizard” on page 5.

aspect ratio if available. While playing the DVD, press more info on the

Screen flashes

Problem: You may see the screen flash when:

You turn on or restart the HP Digital Entertainment Center. (The screen
flash may occur and continue until the initial startup completes and the
Media Center or desktop appears.)

Or

You select the Display Settings, open the Display Properties, or use the
screen adjustment option. (The screen flash may occur and continue until
you close the window.) This type of screen flash occurs normally and appears while the operating system
obtains and processes display resolution information.
