Internet and Software - 21
One or more media programs are installed on your computer, Windows Media Player and optionally Windows Media Center
are provided by Microsoft. Other media programs may have been installed by Packard Bell to provide an improved media
experience.
Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player may be used to play MP3 or WMA audio files, CDs or most video files.
Note: It is not recommended that you use Windows Media Player to play DVD movies. Other media players (such as
Windows Media Center) provide additional playback options.
Windows Media Center (optional)
Certain computers include all-in-one media
‘centers’ such as Windows Media Center. These
programs can handle a variety of multimedia
content, presented with simple menus that may
be easily controlled with a remote control. You
may watch live or recorded TV (if your computer
has a TV tuner), listen to digital music, view
pictures and personal videos, create CDs and
DVDs, or access content from online services.
To start the media program installed on your
computer, click on Start
> Windows Media
Center.
Setup
Caution: If your computer includes a remote control (page 9) or TV tuner (page 13) they must be
connected and active before starting the media program for the first time.
The first time you start the media program, it will start a setup wizard, which will configure some basic settings. If available,
select the Express setup option, you may then configure additional options as needed.
Note: If you have an Internet connection, the Guide (Electronic Program Guide) allows you to view a list of current TV
shows. This shows channel and network information, as well as the title, description and scheduled broadcast time of
shows.
Cyberlink PowerDVD
If your computer is equipped with a Blu-ray drive, you may watch Blu-ray movies with PowerDVD. You may start PowerDVD
by inserting a Blu-ray disc and waiting for the program to start automatically.
AutoPlay
The Windows AutoPlay function allows you to choose the way
Windows handles media files on devices with removable storage
(digital camera, CD, DVD, etc).
If you have inserted a disk that contains files (such as a DVD, USB
key or memory card), Windows will display a dialogue box and ask
you to choose how you want to open the files.
For example, if you have inserted an audio CD or a DVD movie,
Windows will automatically display a dialogue box and ask you to
choose how you want to play it. If Windows asks you to select a
DVD player, we recommend that you always choose the DVD player
included with your software collection (e.g. PowerDVD or Windows
Media Player).
