The following are some of the items that are included in the setup wizard:

￿Check for your Internet connection. An Internet connection allows you to access media links, display information about your music CDs and DVDs, and download the Television Program Guide if your computer came with a TV tuner.

NOTE: You must subscribe to an Internet Service Provider to have an Internet connection.

￿Optimize how Windows Media Center looks on your display. You can:

￿Change display settings such as brightness, contrast, color, and centering.

￿Test and adjust the display settings of the monitor, TV, or other display.

￿Use the Windows Media Center video to help you change onscreen centering, sizing, aspect ratio (shape), brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness of the display with either the TV remote control or the monitor controls.

￿Set up your speakers. Select how many speakers you have, and test them. Speakers are sold separately for some models.

￿Set up your Music, Picture, and Video Libraries. Set up Windows Media Center to scan your Music, Picture, and Video folders for new media files. Windows Media Center can then automatically add these files to your media libraries. You can have Windows Media Center scan other folders or stop scanning a folder.

￿Configure TV tuner, TV signal, and Guide. You need to provide information about the TV signal source and the TV signal equipment (set-top box, cable, and so on). This step makes sure your computer receives the correct TV signal and TV Program Guide information. If you have a cable box or satellite receiver, the setup wizard programs the Windows Media Center remote control to work with them.
