Finding and playing content

Clicking a button on the Arcade home page opens the corresponding feature’s home page. The content pages have buttons on the left and a content browsing area on the right. If a button shows one of several choices, such as sort order, the current setting is shown by a brightly coloured ball on the left side.

To pick content, click and item in the content area. When there is more than one CD or DVD drive, all drives will be shown. Pictures and videos are shown as files (with thumbnails) and organized into folders.

To browse a folder, click to open it. To go back up to the folder above it, click the Up one level button. If there is more content than will fit on a page, use the buttons at the lower right to scroll through the pages.

Advanced Settings

There are settings in the Aspire Arcade that allow you to fine tune its performance to your machine and your personal preferences. The Set- tings page is reached by the Advanced Settings button on the Home page.

Use the "Screen ratio" setting to choose between standard (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) display.

Note: If your speakers are not capable of outputting low frequency signals, it is recommended that you do not select this option in order to avoid damaging your speakers.

"Audio output" should be set to" Stereo" if you are listening to speak- ers, or "Virtual surround sound" if you are using headphones, or “S/ PDif” if you are using digital output.

Click About Aspire Arcade to open a page with version and copyright information.

Click Restore to factory settings to return the Aspire Arcade settings to their default values.
