Using Dell MediaDirect
NOTE: QuickSet, which is automatically installed and enabled on your computer, is necessary for Dell
MediaDirect to function. Changing or disabling QuickSet’s default settings can limit Dell MediaDirect’s
functionality. For more information about Dell QuickSet, see the Dell Inspiron Help file. To access the help
file, see "Help File" on page 9.
If you have Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition or Dell Media Experience installed, you can
use Dell MediaDirect to launch your media application by pressing the play/pause/Dell
MediaDirect button .
• If you hold the media control play button for longer than two seconds while you are logged in,
Dell MediaDirect launches Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition or Dell Media
Experience, depending on your system setup. If both applications are present, Windows
Media Center Edition will launch.
• When your computer is open, you can press the media control play button to start the
computer from any state and automatically launch the media application.
