The Windows Media Centre - Initial Configuration

The Windows Media Centre is the central component for managing all

multimedia content on your notebook. With this media centre, fully

integrated in Windows Vista™, you can view videos and DVDs, listen to

music from audio, CDs or hard disk files, view the TV guide, record TV

programmes, and much more. The Media Centre replaces many

individual programs and unites all media under a single user interface.

The first time you open the Media Centre you must set it up, once only,

to enable you to use it to its full extents. With this, e.g. your internet

connection is checked and the available TV reception is set up. The

whole procedure takes only a few minutes and is carried out with the

help of a wizard.
