Using the Remote Control
You can use your remote control with Media Center
to play CDs and 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.
