Using the Remote Control

The remote control is designed to work with Media Center. You can use your remote control with Media Center to play CDs, DVDs, to view pictures, and to watch and record television programs.

This remote control helps you navigate the Media Center windows on your computer just as a TV remote control helps you navigate cable TV options or control the playback of a movie in a VCR or DVD player.

The remote control can:

■Navigate and control all Media Center windows.

■Control the video or live TV display.

■Place the computer in and out of standby mode.

■Shut down or restart the PC.

■Log off from Media Center or switch users.

The remote control cannot:

■Navigate the Windows desktop or control other computer programs outside of Media Center.

■Be used as a VCR, DVD player, or stereo remote control.

■Turn on or off a TV that is connected to your PC.

■Turn on the PC.
