Component Video Settings

You must configure settings to view component video on
your TV properly. Component video output requires
specific configurations for certain display types and
resolutions. Go to http://www.hp.com/support
and select your model number for instructions on using
component video.

Overview

You must change the default desktop resolution of
800 x 600 to 640 x 480 for the best DVD playback and
Media Center experience. A resolution of 800 x 600 is
best for Windows desktop dialog boxes. See “Adjusting
the Desktop Display” on page 144. The component video
default output is 480i (interlaced) to provide a picture on
most TVs. Driver adjustments are required to configure
progressive scan for TVs that support progressive scan.

Progressive scan format provides a better desktop
viewing experience than interlaced format.

Content-protected DVD playback is limited to the
following when component video is connected:
