About your Gateway 610 Media Center PC
The Gateway 610 Media Center
PC provides powerful computing
and rich entertainment capabilities.
You can run the Media Center while
using other Microsoft Windows
programs or just enjoy the Media
Center in full-screen mode without
using other programs.
Use the Media Center remote
control the same way you
use the remote for your home
entertainment system. You can use
the remote and Media Center to
watch and record TV, play videos
and music, and view pictures.
Use the wireless keyboard and
mouse to run the Media Center and
your Microsoft Windows programs.

Video source —Make sure that you have access
to a video source before starting your Media Center
setup. Your computer receives video input from
a coaxial or an S-Video cable. The video source
usually comes from an antenna, a direct cable TV
connection, a cable box, or a satellite receiver.
Cable boxes and satellite receivers are also called
set-top boxes.
You’ve probably already decided where you want to
locate your Media Center PC, but before you start setting
up the Media Center, take a few minutes to make sure
that all of these connections are available in the location
you’ve selected.
Locating connections
Internet connection —Your computer needs an
Internet connection to update the program guide
and to access the Internet. Make sure that you have
access to a dial-up or broadband Internet connection
before starting your Media Center software setup.
Contact your Internet service provider for more
information about setting up your Internet connection.
In addition to the modem and Ethernet jacks on the
back of your Media Center PC, your Media Center PC
may also include wireless Ethernet capabilities. For
more information about connecting to a network with
your wireless Ethernet hardware, see the networking
user’s guide included on the hard drive. To open the
document click Start, Gateway Documentation,
then click Networking User’s Guide.
