Label: MEDIA CENTER

Button code: 13

First press action: Takes the user to the Windows Media Center Start menu. If Windows Media

Center is not already started, Windows Media Center starts and the Windows Media Center Start

menu appears.

The Green Start button is the only button on a Windows Media Center remote control that can

start Windows Media Center and display the Windows Media Center Start menu. The Green Start

button may not be used for any other purpose.

On a keyboard with Media Center functionality, Microsoft requires that the Green Start button is

used to start Windows Media Center.

On a front panel or laptop with Media Center functionality, Microsoft strongly recommends that

the Green Start button can be used to start Windows Media Center.

Second press action: Dismisses the Windows Media Center Start menu and takes the user to

the last page that was previously viewed. If Windows Media Center is in windowed mode,

pressing the Green Start button will put Windows Media Center into full-screen mode.

Auto-repeat: No

Remarks: The Green Start button assembly must be used on Windows Media Center remote

controls. The provided artwork can be used if a manufacturer is creating an on-screen remote or

membrane-based remote control. For more information about the Green Start button, including

implementation details, see the Green Start Button Requirements section later in this document.

Important Microsoft encourages the OEM to add the text " Windows Media Center" under the

Windows Media Center Green Start button to identify more clearly the function of the button for

the consumers.
