Audio and Video Switching Overview

AV receiver: You can use your AV receiver as a switch
to direct the video to your TV and the audio to your
speakers from the HP Digital Entertainment Center. This
method gives you the best audio quality, and is easy to
switch audio/video inputs though your AV receiver
remote.
If your AV receiver has multiple input and output
connections, then it has front panel input and output
switches.
You must select the correct input and output on the AV
receiver front panel or remote control to hear sound and
see video.

you can use your TV as an audio/video switch and
control inputs though your TV remote.
If your TV has multiple input connections, then it has a
front panel input switch.
You must select the correct input and output on the TV
front panel or remote control to hear sound and see
video.

Using the Remote Control with Your TV

You can use the HP Digital Entertainment Center remote
control to change channels and adjust volume if you have
a cable box or satellite receiver, have installed the
Infrared Transmitter cable, and have configured the
remote control after initial turn on.
Always point the HP Digital Entertainment Center remote
control at the HP Digital Entertainment Center front panel.
The infrared remote sensor, behind the front panel
window, receives signals from the remote control.
Monitor: If you have multiple audio/video inputs on
your monitor, you can use your monitor as an audio/
video switch. You will probably not be able to use a
remote control to switch.
If your monitor has multiple input and output connections,
then it has a front panel input switch and output switch.
You must select the correct input and output on the
monitor front panel to hear sound and see video.

The HP Digital Entertainment Center includes one or two
Infrared Transmitter cables (IR blaster) that are required to
control one or two set-top boxes. You must carefully
position the Infrared Transmitter cable tip on the set-top
box to ensure the set-top box receives the IR signal from
the HP Digital Entertainment Center. See "Infrared
Transmitter Installation" on page 99.
