Connecting the TV Signal Source to the PC

You may need to purchase extra cables separately. Your HP TouchSmart PC may not include all the cables

you need for your computer setup, and the cables included may vary by model.

Use these steps to connect the TV signal source, the FM signal antenna, or video and audio from a set-top

box or DVD player. Some HP TouchSmart PC models have only the TV connector.

Shown below are three different TV tuner connectors your HP TouchSmart PC may include:

TV/In Cable antenna connector only

If your TV tuner looks like this, follow this procedure:

1

Connect the coaxial cable from your TV antenna or TV cable provider to

the TV In connector on the left side of the HP TouchSmart PC.

Or

Plug an S-V/Cable antenna video cable into the S-Video connector in the

front Connectivity Center of the HP TouchSmart PC. Plug the other end of

the cable into your set-top box or other device that is providing the signal

source for the TV.

2

If you are using the S-Video connector, plug audio cables from your set-

top box into the audio left and right connectors in the front Connectivity

Center of the HP TouchSmart PC.

3

If you are using the set-top box, connect the IR emitter cable. See

“Connecting the IR emitter.”
