Adjusting the Desktop Display Some tasks on the HP Digital Entertainment Center require that you leave Media Center and use the Windows XP desktop. Because Windows XP is not specifically designed for TV, some messages and dialogs on the desktop may be difficult to read on some TVs.

This procedure is an example only and may vary depending on your TV/display type, supported formats, and video out connections. You may have to perform the procedure more than once to optimize the image. w This setup procedure is advanced. Knowledge of video concepts and computer terms is helpful. Follow the steps carefully.
