Using the Apple Remote and Front Row

The Apple Remote that came with your Mac mini works with the Front Row application

and the built-in infrared (IR) receiver. The IR receiver is located on the front of your

Mac mini to the right of the optical drive.

The Apple Remote opens Front Row so you can play music from your iTunes music

library, watch photo slideshows and QuickTime movie trailers, play a DVD with DVD

Player, and more—all from across the room.

Your Apple Remote can:
 Open Front Row.

 Navigate through the Music, Photos, Videos, and DVD menus in Front Row.

 Navigate in iTunes, iPhoto, and DVD Player.

 Sleep or wake your Mac mini.

You can also use your keyboard to control Front Row. The following keys correspond to

the buttons on the Apple Remote. To leave Front Row, press any alphabetic key.
