User And Power Options - Hantarex 40" User Manual

User and power options

Windows Media Center Edition 2005 offers various user and energy saving options that can be
accessed with the Media Center Start up Menu.
The options include:
Exit. This closes the Media Center and returns to desktop
Log Off. This closes the user account without turning off the computer and disconnects it or goes
to another user with the remote control.
Shut Down. This turns off the computer and, if toggled on when you select Shut down the system,
Media Center PC goes into Standby mode, (see below.)
Restart. This restarts the computer.
Standby. This puts the computer into a state of low power consumption, the monitor and hard disk
turn off, leaving applications and files open on the desktop.
NEW Standby mode. Introduced in the Cumulative 2 update, the Standby mode allows analog
functions of consumer electronic devices as long as the hardware is supported; this function is
available only on a few new PCs. In this mode, the system can run activities automatically while it
seems to be turned off. Thanks to the Standby mode, users can turn off and turn on Media Center as if
it were a set-top box, CD/DVD player or DVR burner.
Media Center PC in the Standby mode is ready to use in just a few seconds; just press the "on" button
or the "green" Media Center button on the remote control. Other infrared devices, a wireless keyboard
or other buttons on the remote control, do not turn off the Standby mode, so you cannot accidentally
power up Media Center when in this mode.
For example, while watching or recording a television program, listening to music or running a
slideshow, it is possible to press the Power button on the remote control or PC. The system will seem
to be off, the images disappear from the screen and the speakers are turned off but the system
continues to record the television program in the background. The slideshow and/or music stop until
the user returns. When the PC is in Standby mode, just insert a CD or DVD in the relative unit to
reactivate the system, the speakers and screen wake up and the content plays immediately.
