If the S-video and composite Video Out
connections are not connected to a TV or
video input when the HP Digital
Entertainment Center is turned on, the
S-video and composite jacks will turn
off automatically.
You must restart to ensure Video Out
connection to your TV or AV receiver. Press
and hold down the On/Standby (power)
button for 4 seconds to turn off your HP
Digital Entertainment Center. After it shuts

If your TV and AV receiver has multiple input

You must select the correct input and output
from the TV and AV receiver front panel or
remote control to hear sound and see video.
Component video output requires specific
configurations for certain display types and
support and select your model number for
instructions on using component video.
