PlayCenter
PlayCenter allows you to play most types
of media, such as multimedia files
(MIDI, Wave, etc.), audio CDs, Video
CDs and DVD-Videos. Just insert or
select your media and PlayCenter does
the rest.
PlayCenter also allows you to organize
and arrange your multimedia files and tracks into albums.
PlayCenter is usually launched automatically when you insert a disc into your CD-ROM/PC-DVD drive.
It recognizes the media and starts playback of the disc, if those preferences are set.
Once PlayCenter is launched, place your mouse pointer over a button or icon on the interface. The icon
or button lights and the corresponding tooltip is displayed. The PlayCenter display varies slightly with
different media. Not all features and functions of the PlayCenter may be available at any one time. A
grayed out button or menu indicates that the function or option is unavailable.
If you are playing a VCD or DVD-Video, the
Video window appears. Right-click anywhere in
the Video window to display the options menu.
