Getting to Know the HP TouchSmart PC 19

Connecting the TV signal source to the computer

Select models only

To connect a TV signal to the computer, your computer needs a TV tuner, which is included with select

models only. You also may need to purchase some cables separately. (Availability of signals is limited by

the strength and accessibility of the originating TV signal, location and other factors. Performance issues

may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product.)

Your TV tuner requires that you use a TV tuner isolator (adapter) (purchased separately) with your computer

to connect a coaxial cable to the TV signal source. Using the TV tuner adapter helps prevent personal

injury and computer damage from surges on the coaxial line.

Norway and Sweden: Cable grounding notice for products with a TVB tuner.

1 Connect the coaxial cable from your TV antenna or TV cable provider to the TV In (A) connector

located on the back of the computer behind the connector cover.

Connect an S-Video cable to the S-Video In connector (B), located on the back of the computer behind

the connector cover. Connect the other end of the cable to your set-top box.

You may need a composite video to S-Video adaptor (sold separately) from the set-top box Video Out

to the S-Video In connector (B).

2 For S-Video, connect audio cable from your set-top box to the Audio Line In (C) connector on the back

of the computer. Use with a Y cable to combine RCA left and right channels (white and red).

WARNING: Please read “Additional Safety Information” in the Limited Warranty, Support, and

System Recovery Guide before installing and connecting your HP TouchSmart PC to the

electrical power system.

WARNING: To reduce potential safety issues, use a galvanic isolator when connecting to a

cable distribution system.
