Using Media Center Quick Resume mode

When your computer is in Quick Resume mode it appears off, but you can actually still perform tasks such as record TV programs or music files. Quick Resume mode turns off the display and mutes the audio.

After you have enabled Quick Resume mode in the Control Panel, you can activate it by pressing the Sleep button on your computer, keyboard, or remote control.

You can return to your desktop almost instantly by pressing any Sleep button again, by pressing any key on the keyboard, by moving the trackball, or by pressing any button on the remote control if you select the Return the computer from Quick Resume mode on mouse or keyboard activity option in the Power Options Properties window.
