Selecting a default audio player
If you have already set your default audio player to
Windows Media Player, you may experience a delay
when trying to open HP Tunes. To resolve this issue:
1 Close Media Center, if open.
2 Double-click the iTunes shortcut icon on
the desktop.
3 When the iTunes default player for audio
files window appears, place a check
mark in the Do not show this message
again checkbox, and then click Yes or No.
4 If you have not completed the iTunes Set-up
Assistant wizard, follow the onscreen instructions.
5 Open Media Center, and then open HP Tunes.
Connecting 7.1 Speakers
or Digital Audio to a
Sound Card
If you have a sound card and you want to connect
7.1 speakers, you must purchase Creative Inspire
T7700 speakers.
If you have a sound card and you are connecting your
home stereo AV receiver via Digital Out, connect the
red RCA stereo plug on the 3.5-mm Y cable to the AV
receiver’s digital input connector. If the red RCA
stereo plug does not work, try the white stereo plug.
One of the connectors is not used.
Connecting the High Definition
ATSC DTV Signal Source to the
HP Media Center PC
If your HP Media Center PC includes an optional
ATSC DTV tuner card, you can view and record ATSC
channels. Media Center supports over-the-air ATSC
Digital TV only.
Over-the-air ATSC digital TV requires a UHF antenna
(not provided) to receive the digital signal. Your
location must be within an ATSC DTV broadcast area.
NOTE: An ATSC TV tuner that supports high definition
TV is included with select models only.
What is HDTV?
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) is the
official name of the DTV picture format that is in use in
the United States and North America.
DTV (Digital Television) is the umbrella term used to
describe the new digital television way of transmitting
television signals. If there is a DTV connector on the
back of your HP Media Center PC, you can receive
ATSC signals. DTV includes many formats of high
definition TV that can broadcast an image resolution
of up to 2 million pixels.
