Which is NOT a criteria for a Home Theater PC?

  1. Surround sound audio

  2. USB 3.0 support

  3. HDMI output

  4. TV Tuner card

The correct answer is: USB 3.0 support

The criteria for a Home Theater PC (HTPC) typically focus on enhancing the media viewing experience. Factors like surround sound audio, HDMI output, and a TV tuner card are essential because they directly contribute to high-quality audio and video playback, making the system suitable for home entertainment. While USB 3.0 support is helpful for transferring data quickly and connecting various devices, it is not a fundamental requirement for an HTPC. The primary purpose of an HTPC is to integrate and playback media effectively, and USB 3.0 support, while beneficial, does not directly influence the key media performance features like audio quality or video connectivity.
