TV Source Overview TV Signal Source Overview You must connect a TV signal to the HP Digital Entertainment Center for proper operation. You can attach standard, analog NTSC TV and high-definition, digital HDTV ATSC sources. The back panel TV Source connectors are: ■ TV Source 1 In ■ TV Source 2 In ■ Cable/Antenna In (NTSC) RF ■ HDTV/SDTV Ant. In (ATSC) RF antenna n An ATSC tuner that supports high-definition TV is included with select HP Digital Entertainment Center models only. NTSC Standard TV The NTSC back panel connectors are TV Source 1 In and TV Source 2 In: ■ For an NTSC cable TV box, digital cable box, or satellite receiver use TV Source 1 In or TV Source 2 In (select models only). ■ For an NTSC analog cable RF coaxial connector use Cable/Antenna In. For dual-tuner systems, the Cable/Antenna In RF connector splits internally. A set-top cable TV box is provided by your cable TV provider to unscramble premium channels. For Dual Tuner configurations, both TV sources must be of the same type: either cable TV, digital cable TV, satellite TV, or antenna. The TV sources must also have the same, identical channel lineup; for example, if you are using two satellite TV sources they must provide the exact same channels. All TV viewing and scheduling is provided through the Television Program Guide in Media Center, so both TV sources must have identical Television Program Guides. The HP Digital Entertainment Center records television and allows you to control the television channels. The HP Digital Entertainment Center has two tuner configurations available: Single-tuner TV Source 1 In Dual-tuner option TV Source 2 In A single tuner allows you to watch or record one program only in NTSC. You can have dual TV inputs, if your HP Digital Entertainment Center includes the two TV tuner option. You can watch a show on one channel while Media Center records another show on a different channel. Or you can record two different programs at the same time, using two tuners in NTSC. 72 HP Digital Entertainment Center
