144 HP Digital Entertainment Center
Adjusting the Desktop Display
Some tasks on the HP Digital Entertainment Center require
that you leave Media Center and use the Windows XP
desktop. Because Windows XP is not specifically
designed for TV, some messages and dialogs on the
desktop may be difficult to read on some TVs.
Lowering the display resolution can make messages and
dialogs easier to read by enlarging the text.
This procedure is an example only and may vary
depending on your TV/display type, supported formats,
and video out connections. You may have to perform the
procedure more than once to optimize the image.
You can adjust the display using:
■ The Media Center wizard. See “Adjusting the
Display in Media Center” on page 145.
Or
■ From the desktop. See “Adjusting the Display from
the Desktop” on page 149.
