Overview
Final Setup
IMPORTANT: Use an open cabinet for best operation of the HP Digital
Entertainment Center (DEC). Do not cover vents on top, back, or side
of unit.
FM Antenna
Backs of cabinets should be open for best operation; if there is a back
to the cabinet, there must be a hole in the back of the cabinet with a
minimum open area of 19"W x 6.5"H behind the DEC, so that air can
circulate; see Figure A. The back of the DEC must be at least 4" from
the wall, see Figure B.
Indicator
Light
The FM antenna
must be completely
open and hung up
to get any signal.
If you choose to use a cabinet with front doors, they must be left open
during your use of the DEC.

About ATSC antennas
5.1 Channel AV Receiver
About Connecting an ATSC Antenna
Over-the-air ATSC digital TV requires a UHF/VHF antenna (sold separately) to receive the digital signal.
Your location must be within an ATSC DTV broadcast area.
See the following illustrations to install ATSC DTV.
Tips
Configuration
Options
The channels available in your area. The channels may be color-coded by zone.
Selecting the kind of antenna you need, depending on the channels you want to receive. Match your
antenna to your zone.
• If you have a
multi-channel sound
system, and the
broadcast is only
2-channel, you may not
hear all the sound; you
may need to change
your audio settings to
2.0/2.1. Then change
the settings back for
multi-channel
broadcasts. Refer to
the User’s Guide to
configure audio
settings.

Finding Your ATSC Channels
After you complete the Media Center and Digital TV setup wizards and then download your Television
Program Guide, the Guide may display incorrect ATSC DTV channels. Some channels may have an
incorrect channel number and other channels may not be displayed at all. These HDTV channels may be
available in your area, but they may not be listed in the Media Center Television Program Guide.

Overview
Final Setup
IMPORTANT: Use an open cabinet for best operation of the HP Digital
Entertainment Center (DEC). Do not cover vents on top, back, or side
of unit.
FM Antenna
Backs of cabinets should be open for best operation; if there is a back
to the cabinet, there must be a hole in the back of the cabinet with a
minimum open area of 19”W x 6.5”H behind the DEC, so that air can
circulate; see Figure A. The back of the DEC must be at least 4” from
the wall, see Figure B.
Indicator
Light
The FM antenna
must be completely
open and hung up
to get any signal.
If you choose to use a cabinet with front doors, they must be left open
during your use of the DEC.
