Use your remote control to navigate all the Media Center
windows. Your remote control includes four major groups of
controls.
Standby and Direct Access — The Standby button places
the computer in and out of standby (reduced power)
mode. The direct access buttons open specific windows
within Media Center.

the playback of music, DVD movies, videos, recorded
and live TV programs, and picture slide shows.
Navigation and other direct access — The navigation
buttons move the cursor around Media Center windows

The other direct access buttons open specific windows within
the Media Center, such as the Television Program Guide, a
DVD main menu, and live TV in full screen mode.
Audio and Video — The audio and video buttons control
sound and channel selection, display details, and allows
you to enter text.
