Using the Media Center Optimization Utility

The optimization utility is designed to keep your HP Digital Entertainment Center running smoothly if Media Center is left open for long periods of time. Media Center can be left open because of various scheduled TV recordings or because the PC enters Standby or Quick Resume mode while Media Center is still open.

During an optimization, Media Center automatically closes and then opens at a scheduled time if there has not been any activity in Media Center for 30 minutes. If it cannot be performed, the optimization is skipped until the next scheduled time.

To enable the Media Center optimization utility:

1Click Start on the taskbar.

2Click Media Center.

3Select Settings, General, and then select Optimization.

n

Optimization is skipped if a CD is being recorded, media is being downloaded from the Internet, or if any media except Live TV is playing, paused, or stopped.

4Place a check next to Perform Optimization to enable the optimization utility.

5Enter the time you want the optimization to occur by using your keyboard or your remote control.

6Select Save.
