Using Windows Media Center
If your computer has Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, you can
use Windows Media Center to watch TV, videos, and movies, listen to music, and view photos. Media
Center is a simplified, streamlined interface that is ideally suited for playing and managing media
files.
Because the remote control is an optional accessory, most instructions in this section assume you
are using a mouse to navigate the Media Center menus.
