Check that the correct input source is selected on the TV.
■
Check that the TV is connected to the HP Digital Entertainment Center. See "Video
■
Out to TV" on page 67.
Check that the TV Out image is enabled. See "Configuring Video" on page 135.
■
If the Video Output S-video and composite 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 turn off, by pressing and
holding down the On/Standby (power) button for 4 seconds, and restart your

receiver.
Check your input switches.

If you see a blank screen, you cannot perform recovery or certain activities with
■
DVI. Change your Video Out connection to VGA or S-video, recover your system,
and then reconnect the DVI connection.
Connect a monitor to your HP Digital Entertainment Center. See "Video Out to TV
■
and Monitor" on page 72.
If your TV is connected with S-video or composite video out connection, the screen
may flicker/flash during power-on to windows desktop process. Wait; the screen
should display normally after the desktop displays.
