Getting to Know Your TV

Congratulations!

Your HP MediaSmart high-definition television (HDTV) not only features exceptional picture quality, but also brings your digital entertainment and your treasured photo and music libraries from your computer to your television. By delivering exceptional visual performance and a digital media experience that is uniquely personal, we hope the HP MediaSmart HDTV will forever change your expectation of what a television should be.

HP Visual Fidelity Engine

Your HP MediaSmart HDTV features the HP Visual Fidelity Engine, which delivers unparalleled performance in beautiful 1080p full high-definition (HD) resolution. The HP 3D Color Enrichment System generates rich colors and deep blacks, while our Photorealistic Sharpness Enhancement delivers superior detail. Complimented with three HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) inputs, the HP MediaSmart HDTV delivers the utmost picture quality from next generation HD game consoles and video players.

Your world in high definition

The HP MediaSmart HDTV enables you to enjoy digital photos, music and videos stored on computers and devices across your home network. This content is aggregated for you to browse from a single interface on your MediaSmart TV. The HP MediaSmart HDTV also provides online access to thousands of movies available to rent or own—and the simple HP interface enables you to begin watching movies moments after downloading has begun.

The HP MediaSmart HDTV also acts as a Windows Media Center Extender to access the Windows Media Center on your Microsoft

Windows Vista® Home Premium or Home Ultimate operating system. With it, you can access the Windows Media Center Media Library, live TV, recorded TV, and other features provided by Microsoft.

You can use any universal plug and play (UPnP)-compliant program to stream media to the TV.

HP recommends and supports Windows Media Player 11.

The next generation of wireless networking

Your MediaSmart HDTV also features integrated

802.11n wireless networking, which enables the streaming of high-definition video while providing compatibility to existing 802.11b/g/a Wi-Fi networks. An industry first, having 802.11n in your HDTV future-proofs your investment for many years to come.

HP legendary quality and unmatched Support

We are proud that you selected the HP MediaSmart HDTV, and we will continue to stand by you with HP award-winning support. HP Total Care includes 24/7 telephone assistance and one full year of free in-home service, should you ever need it.

All specifications represent the typical specifications provided by HP’s component manufacturers; actual performance may vary, either higher or lower.

High-definition source content varies, and depends on source input, signal aspect ratio, and other factors. HD content may require a separately purchased service contract or other fees. HD content may not be available in your service area; check with service provider.

Media streaming requires a computer with the Microsoft Windows XP with SP2 or Windows Vista operating system, or a DNLA-compliant media server. A home network is also required and

is sold separately. Internet use requires separately purchased Internet service. For

wireless access, a wireless access point may be required and is not included. Downloaded content may require additional fees.

Windows Media Center Extender functionality requires a computer with the Windows Vista Home Premium or Home Ultimate operating system. Accessing live TV functionality through the Windows Media Center Extender requires a computer with a TV tuner and a live TV signal.

The specifications of the 802.11n WLAN (wide local area network) are draft specifications and not final. If the final specifications differ from the draft specifications, it may affect the ability of this device to communicate with other 802.11n WLAN devices.

Some features may not be available on computers with a 64-bit operating system.

To maintain the high-gloss finish on your new HDTV, HP recommends cleaning the TV only with a Microfiber cloth.

Setting Up the TV

HP recommends professional installation from an authorized installer to ensure maximum enjoyment of your TV. Before starting installation, be sure to read all the safety information and precautions; see the following topics:

 “Important Safeguards” on page iii.  “Important Safety Instructions” on page v.

Selecting a Good Location

When selecting the location for your TV, consider the following conditions:

 Power cord length: Choose a location with easy

access to an AC power outlet.

 Cable lengths and distances to attached units:

Check that cables can reach the TV.

To view high-definition programming, you must have connected to the TV a high-definition signal source such as an off-the-air high-definition antenna or cable HD signal, a cable or satellite provider HD set-top box, or an HD-DVD player. All sources, except an HD antenna or cable HD signal, must connect to one of the High Definition Input connector sets on the TV.

You may view high-definition digital media through your home network.

 Do not install the TV on an unstable cart or stand;

the unit may fall over and cause injury.

 Do not install the TV where it has a protruding

edge such as on a small table where the display overhangs the table surface.

 Do not hang the TV from the ceiling; the unit may

fall and cause injury.

 “Important Information” on page viii.

 Avoid direct sunlight that may damage the display

or interfere with the operation of the remote control.

 Avoid areas of high humidity or damp conditions

that may cause fire or electrical shock.

 Do not install TV near appliances such as a

microwave, or near a heat source such as a fireplace or radiator.

 Do not place the TV on a sloped or

unstable surface.

 Provide a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) of

ventilation clearance around the TV.

 Wall-mounting: Your TV can be wall-mounted by

using an HP-approved wall-mounting kit (sold separately):

LCD TV Flat Mount, Model PY043AA#ABA LCD TV Tilting Mount, Model PY044AA#ABA To remove th e TV stand, see “Removing or

attaching the stand” on page 23. Then follow the installation instructions provided with the wall-mounting kit. HP recommends professional installation if you want to wall-mount your TV.

 Consider the wireless network type: The

MediaSmart HDTV is equipped with an IEEE 802.11n wireless module, which also supports the other standards of 802.11a/b/g.

HP recommends use of a dual-band IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi network (access point/router and PC network card) for best wireless performance.

Setting Up the TV

Setting Up the TV 7

IEEE 802.11a or 802.11g is the second choice. IEEE 802.11b access points work well for audio and picture streaming, but are not recommended for video because of bandwidth limitations.

The quality of streaming video over wireless depends on many factors such as the bitrate of the original video, the reception quality, and the access point.

The 802.11b and 802.11g routers operate at radio frequencies that are also used by other household devices, and can be affected by interference from cordless phones, microwave ovens, X10 wireless video cameras, ham radios, or Bluetooth devices such as a cellular phone headset. The 802.11n or 802.11a routers operate at frequencies that other wireless devices are less likely to use.

Walls dramatically reduce the range of a wireless router. It is recommended that your router be placed in a room in the middle of your house. For

the purpose of video transmission, avoid wireless connections that go through more than two walls or two floors. An 802.11n router performs better in these environments due to their use of advanced signal processing and multiple antennas.

Turn off all unused network equipment in your local home network. Some devices generate network traffic even when they are idle.

Most wireless routers offer multiple communication channels. Refer to your router user manual for more information. In apartment buildings and dense neighborhoods, if reception is poor, you may need to switch your router wireless channel to improve reception. The 802.11n* and 802.11a routers offer more channels, and so are less prone to WI-FI interference. In some instances, rotating your router antennae may improve your reception.

*Your 802.11n router may have a single transmitter at 2.4 GHz or a dual transmitter at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. If it is available, select the 5 GHz mode for better coverage and performance.

Choosing the AV connection to use

When connecting optional audiovisual (AV) equipment as signal sources, the connectors on the equipment may limit the type of connection you can use.

AV connection to use, in order of decreasing video playback quality (best to good) Connection description TV connector Cable plug HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) transmits an

all-digital signal. This is the recommended choice for high-definition signals, and for playback from a digital set-top box, DVD player, or DVR device.

For a DVI-D device, you can use a DVI cable with a DVI-to-HDMI converter to connect video to the HDMI 1 connector on the TV, and an audio cable to connect audio from the source to the Audio In L and R connectors on the TV.

Use this connection for standard or high-definition video signals in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p input format from a set-top box, DVD player, or other device. This TV does not support Dolby Digital audio input over HDMI. When connecting a set-top box, DVD player, or other device by using the HDMI connector, set the device audio output to PCM format.

When your optional equipment has more than one type of output connector, choose the connection that provides the best-quality playback image.

The following table lists the available optional AV equipment connections on the TV.

Component video (Y, Pb, and Pr) transmits video as three separate signals. Use this connection for standard or high-definition video signals in 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i format from a DVD player or other equipment.

S-Video transmits standard video as separate color and black-and-white image signals, and delivers a sharper image than a composite video connection.

Video In (composite video) transmits standard video as a single signal.

The procedures that follow describe how to connect optional equipment for each type of AV connection, including the audio connections when applicable.

Using universal remote controls

If you want to program a universal remote control to operate your HP TV, but HP is not listed in the supported brand codes, use a Philips TV code. The HP remote control transmits Philips-licensed remote control codes.

After you program your universal remote control with a Philips TV code, it can operate your HP TV functions for volume, mute, power, and input source.

Installing or replacing remote control batteries

Insert two non-rechargeable AA batteries into the remote control, ensuring that you place them with the proper polarity.

1 Press and open the cover on the rear of the remote

control.

2 Insert the batteries into the remote control, making

sure you match polarities.

3 Close the cover.

Do not mix together different types of batteries (for example, alkaline and carbon-zinc), or old batteries with fresh ones.

When installing the batteries, be sure to follow the correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

When you are not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.

Do not try to recharge batteries that are not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. Follow the battery manufacturer’s directions for the batteries you are using.

Always remove batteries as soon as they become weak. Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the unit. The battery life depends on how much the remote control is used. Replace the batteries when remote control operation becomes erratic.

Do not take apart the batteries, heat them, or throw them into a fire.

Programming the Remote Control for a Home Entertainment Device

Your HP remote control is programmable. Program the remote control to operate other home entertainment devices such as your audio receiver, DVD player, PVR, or set-top box. Manufacturer codes for compatible brands are listed at the end of this section.

You can also program a second device such as an external sound system for volume mapping, where pressing the Volume buttons or Mute button sends an IR remote code to adjust the sound level at the second device.

If the brand of your device is not listed in “Manufacturer’s codes” on page 53, try programming the device code by using the steps in “Programming the device code by using auto setup mode” on page 52.

Programming the device code

Use these steps to program a device button if your brand is listed.

Read all the steps completely before proceeding. Before performing step 4, highlight or write down the codes and device you want to program. If your manufacturer is not listed in “Manufacturer’s codes” on page 53, try programming the device code by using the steps in “Programming the device code by using auto setup mode” on page 52.

1 Locate the brand of your device and the

manufacturer’s codes (see the listings in “Manufacturer’s codes” on page 53).

2 Turn on the TV. Turn on the device you want to

program.

3 Press the Device button on the remote control as

needed to select the device to program (CBL, DVD, AVR, or AUX). Wait until the device indicator light on the remote control goes out.

50 HP MediaSmart HDTV User Guide

4 Press and hold down the Device button on the

remote control for 5 seconds, until the device indicator light blinks, and then release the Device button. The device light blinks one more time and then remains lit, indicating the remote control is in programming mode.

5 Enter the first four-digit code for your manufacturer

from the table. If the code is accepted, the device light blinks twice. If the code is not accepted, the device light blinks three times.

Programming the second device for volume mapping

If the device indicator light did not blink twice, repeat steps 4 and 5, entering either the same code or the next code, if there is one.

 Enter code 9, 9, 9, 9 to reset the selected

device to the factory default manufacturer value.

 Enter code 8, 8, 8, 8 to enter auto setup

mode; see “Programming the device code by using auto setup mode” on page 52.

 Pressing the 1, 3, and 0 buttons on the

remote control at the same time resets all programmable devices to factory values.

Point the remote control at the device, and press

the Power button once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 4 and 5, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code by using auto setup mode; see “Programming the device code by using auto setup mode” on page 52.

Volume mapping defines a device in addition to the TV as producing sound. The TV sound (from the primary device) and audio from the second device adjust sound at the same time. Pressing the Volume buttons or the Mute button sends an IR remote control code to adjust the sound level at the second device.

For each device (CBL, DVD, AVR, or AUX) you program to control with the remote control, you can program a second device for volume mapping. When you reprogram the primary device, you must reprogram the volume mapping device.

1 Locate the brand of your device and the

manufacturer’s codes (see the listings in “Manufacturer’s codes” on page 53).

2 Turn on the TV and the primary device (CBL, DVD,

AVR, or AUX) for which you want to program a volume mapping device. Turn on the second device.

3 Press the Device button on the remote control as

needed to select the device (CBL, DVD, AVR, or AUX). Wait until the device indicator light on the remote control goes out.

4 Press and hold down the Device button on the

5 Press one of the Volume buttons.

If the device does not have a Power button, press Play.

7 Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each device you

want to control with the remote control.

After programming a primary device, you can program a second device for volume mapping; see “Programming the second device for volume mapping” on page 51.

6 Enter the first four-digit code for your manufacturer

from the table. If the code is accepted, the device light blinks twice. If the code is not accepted, the device light blinks three times.

7 Point the remote control at the secondary device,

and press the Mute button. The sound should mute. If it does not, repeat steps 4 and 5, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works.

Repeat these steps for each primary device (CBL, DVD, AVR, or AUX) you want to program for volume mapping.

Programming the device code by using auto setup mode

If your home entertainment device does not respond to the remote control after you try all the codes listed for your brand, try searching for your code by using these steps for auto setup mode.

1 Turn on the TV. Turn on the device you want to

program.

2 Press the Device button on the remote control as

needed to select the device to program (CBL, DVD, AVR, or AUX). Wait until the device indicator light on the remote control goes out.

3 Press and hold down the Device button on the

remote control for 5 seconds, until the device light blinks, and then release the Device button. The device light blinks one more time and then remains lit, indicating the remote control is in programming mode.

4 Enter 8, 8, 8, 8, and the device light blinks once

and then remains lit.

Each time you press the Power button, the auto setup is trying a different code. Be sure to wait until the device light stops blinking before pressing the Power button again. You may need to press the Power button several times before the correct code is found.

6 Once the device turns off, press the OK button on

the remote control to save the code.

If you cannot find a code that controls your device, and your device is not listed in “Manufacturer’s codes” on page 53, your device cannot be programmed into this remote control.

5 Press and release the Power button once on the

remote control. Wait until the device light stops blinking.

 If the device turns off, continue with step 6.  If the device does not turn off, continue to

press and release the Power button, waiting each time for the device light to stop blinking, until the device turns off.

After programming a primary device, you can program a second device for volume mapping; see “Programming the second device for volume mapping” on page 51.

Choosing the digital audio output mode

You must be watching a digital TV channel to access the Digital Audio option on the Audio menu. This option sets the format for the signal provided on the Digital (Optical) Audio Output connector on the rear of the TV: Dolby Digital or PCM. Select PCM if your external digital audio system does not support surround sound; see “Understanding audio output” on page 71.

Selecting virtual surround sound

You can enjoy emulated surround sound from the TV speakers. To do so, for the Virtual Surround option on the Audio menu, select the mode that you want to hear: Theater or Music Hall.

Understanding audio output

The input source signal and the Audio menu settings for Digital Audio and Speaker determine the type of audio output that you hear from the TV speakers, or from the external sound system that is connected to the TV.

For example, if you connect an external sound system by using the Digital (Optical) connector, you hear digital sound from the connected external audio system when you watch a digital TV program. The format of the digital signal that the TV provides depends on the Digital Audio setting (Dolby Digital or PCM).

This TV does not support Dolby Digital audio input over HDMI. When connecting a set-top box, DVD player, or other device by means of HDMI, set the device audio output to PCM format.

When you view MediaSmart as the input source (for example, when using digital media through the Media button), the digital output depends on the source media.

The following table shows the audio output dependencies and the resulting output.

Canadian rating systems

The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.

While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the rating also takes into consideration other program content such as language, nudity, sexuality, and mature themes.

When setting controls on the Canadian rating systems, you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian French ratings.

Canadian English ratings

Rating Canadian English rating description

Age E Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries, and other information programming.

C Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to

themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.

C8+ Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or

only way to resolve conflict; does not encourage children to imitate dangerous acts that they may see on the screen.

G General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family;

contains very little violence—physical, verbal, or emotional.

PG Parental guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger

children (under the age of 8), because it could contain controversial themes or issues.

14+ Over 14 years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of the

storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme.

18+ Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older, and might contain depictions of violence,

which, while related to the development of plot, character, or themes, are intended for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity.

If the signal source equipment is connected to the TV at an HDMI or a component video connection, closed caption information may not always be available, because the source equipment may not pass the information to the TV across these connections.

In the closed caption system, more than one caption service can be provided. Each is identified by its own number. The CC1 through CC4 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program picture.

The Text1 through Text4 services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed such as weather or news. These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.

 Depending on the number of caption services in

the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means “the first of two services.”

Example: If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1, and Text1), the closed caption display toggles in sequence.

Changing the TV Settings

Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption decoder that enables you to view conversations, narration, and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed captions are available on some TV programs, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider.

Digital Closed Caption is a caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the election of the program provider). It is a more flexible system than the original closed caption system, because it allows a variety of font sizes and styles in the captions.

 The CC button stores in memory a record of the

last service selected. If the last closed caption mode that you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appears in parentheses. Closed caption services that appear in parentheses are not retained in the CC button memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are retained.

The defaults for closed caption may be specified by the broadcasting station.
