Using the Media Player controls
In a movie theater, a projectionist
runs the projector so that you
can relax and watch the movie. On
, the Media Player is your pro-
MSN TV
jectionist. It's always ready to show
you video clips, play music, or let
you enjoy other programming online.
When you choose a music, video, or radio link on a Web
page, the Media Player opens, and then the controls
appear. The controls in the Media Player work something
like the controls on a VCR or a CD player. You can choose
Play, Pause, or Stop.
When you choose a windows Media-compatible music,
video, or radio link on a Web page, the Media Player
opens automatically. If it doesn't, choose Play.
To learn more about using Media Player, choose Help
from the home page.

Here are some tips on using the Media Player
• Look for the Windows Media Player version of the
media you want to watch or listen to. QuickTime and
Real Audio and Video formats are not supported.
• You don't need to download any additional programs
to watch video or listen to music.
• If you are connecting to MSN TV over a phone line,
look for media files that play at 28k, low speed, or
Narrowband speed. Choosing a higher speed may
cause files to play slowly or incompletely.
• Media files play differently depending on how you're
connecting to MSN TV, how large the file is, and how
much traffic there is on the Web site that provides
the file.
• If a file is long, it may take a few seconds for
Media Player to load the file from the Web site.
While Media Player is preparing a file, the controls
may show Pause instead of Play. The file will auto-
matically start after it has loaded completely.
