Starting the Media Center
To start the Media Center:
Click Start, and then click Media Center.
Media Center opens in full screen mode.
NOTE
Follow the on-screen instructions for setting up the Media Center.
Using the optical drive
Optical storage has become the preferred medium for software,
music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a
significant increase in data storage and support features that are not
available on any other video platform. These features include wide-
screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound,
multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.
For these reasons, your computer may come with an optical drive.
The first time you open Media Center, the program displays a setup
wizard. You will use the wizard to configure your Internet connection
and speakers.
To complete the setup procedure you need to:
Log on as an administrator. For more information, refer to your
Microsoft Help.
If you have questions on using the setup wizard, click Help.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1 (North
America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from another region,
the drive will automatically change to play in the format of the other
region. The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the
fourth change, the region will be "locked in." That is, the drive will
only play DVDs from that last region. Note that changing from region
1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
Please note: Region code is not applicable to HD DVD.
