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
HP Digital Entertainment Center to ensure Video Out connection to your TV or AV
receiver.
Check your input switches.
