Fabulous New Media Center Experiences
Faster and Easier Access
Media Center features a fresh design scheme that makes it easier
for you to access your digital media. Menu selections are easier
to read, and backgrounds are animated. The upgrade includes:
• A new font: Text is brighter and easier to read from across
the room.
• New menu selections: Recently used and favorite tasks are
but a click away. Submenu selections on the Start menu let you quickly
access your favorite digital entertainment. For example, clicking
My Music displays your most-recently accessed albums.

Simply click Power on the remote control, and you can shut down
your computer or have it stand by.
