Using preset radio stations

1You can listen to a preset radio station by clicking presets from the radio menu. All of your preset FM radio stations will be listed.

2Use the playback controls on the remote control, such as Pause, Rewind, and Fast-forward, to control radio playback. If you press the Pause button, Windows Media Center continues to record the program for up to 30 minutes. Press Play to resume listening to the program where you left off.

Using the FM Radio and the TV Signal at the Same Time

The FM radio signal and TV tuner input signal share a single tuner card. This means that you are unable to watch or record TV and listen to FM radio at the same time unless you have two TV tuners. When Windows Media Center is scheduled to start a recording, a warning appears that says FM radio stops when the TV recording starts. If you do not select Cancel recording, Windows Media Center automatically stops radio and begins recording TV.
