Setting Up Windows Media Center

78
Getting Started

Share your digital memories

With Windows Media Center, you can turn your simple photo collection into a cinematic
slide show that can be shared on the computer or the television in the living room. The Play
All option on the Start menu enables a full slide show of photos at the click of a button, and
you can even enjoy your slide show with music from your music collection for a truly
memorable experience.
If you want to create a slide show with a soundtrack, you can easily create a playlist of
photos and music to burn to DVD.
In the Picture Library, you can navigate easily through your photos by folder or by the date
they were taken, with thumbnails and highlighting that help you quickly identify the
specific images or folders you want to see. You can also perform basic editing functions,
such as rotating or touching up pictures, either from within the Picture Library or during a
slide show.

Transform your living space into a theater

In the Videos Library, you can easily play any of your home movies that have been
imported from your video recorder. Windows Media Center has built-in support for
high-definition video.
Whether you are watching a DVD movie or your own home videos, Windows Media
Center delivers a rich viewing experience with a high-quality digital sound system. Sit
back and enjoy the show.
The first time you start Windows Media Center on your computer, a Windows Media
Center setup wizard opens. You should complete each step in the setup wizard to be able
to use all the features in Windows Media Center. The Windows Media Center setup
wizard may take several minutes to complete. If there are steps you still need to complete,
you can go to the Settings menu to do so. See "Completing the setup wizard steps."
NOTE: For more information about setting up your computer, refer to the setup poster or
the Start Here guide.
