Get started using Media Center

You can use Media Center in two ways:

Using the remote. In the same way you use your home entertainment system, you can use the remote control and Media Center to

watch and record TV, play videos and music, and view pictures. Pressing the START button on the remote always starts Media

Center in full-screen mode.

Using the keyboard and the mouse. You can run Media Center at the same time as other Microsoft Windows programs, viewing your

pictures, watching videos, playing music, and even recording TV shows.

When you start Media Center, the Media Center Start menu appears. Use the arrow buttons on the remote to select menu options. When

you make a selection, press the OK button on the remote, and then the menu choices for that selection appear. If you make another

selection while you have media such as music or TV playing, then the currently playing media appears in the inset window in the

lower-left corner of the screen. To display the media in full-screen mode, use the arrow buttons on the remote to select the media, and

then press OK.

When an item such as a folder, picture, or video is selected, the item is highlighted with a green border. To make the selection, press

OK.
