Window XP Media Center Edition 2005
Introducing a Spectacular New World of Entertainment
What makes Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 uniquely powerful? It’s the only OS in the world that can seamlessly orchestrate digital traffic among today’s speedy CPUs, mighty video cards, massive hard drives, DVD burners, TV tuners and surround sound speaker systems. That’s because Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 integrates multimedia features directly into Windows XP Professional, and the OS is designed specifically to play DVD movies, watch and record television programs, view digital photos, play MP3s and WMAs and even listen to the radio. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 is an operating system that enables you to enjoy the best in home entertainment, personal productivity, and creativity on your home PC in an easy, complete, and connected way. With Media Center Edition 2005, you can store, share, and enjoy all of your photos, all of your music, all of your home video, and even recorded TV in one sleek and easy to use place. Computers powered by Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 are called Media Center PCs. They are complete Windows XP-based PCs enhanced for home entertainment. These computers represent the evolution of home PCs into digital media hubs that bring together your entertainment choices and allow you to access them with one remote control.

Media Center PCs are complete entertainment PCs!
Each new Media Center PC may include the following components to enhance your entertainment experience:

- A Media Center compatible remote control that keeps all of the entertainment on your computer within easy reach and complements the keyboard and mouse.
- A remote infrared (IR) sensor that enables the remote control to communicate with the computer and also controls your cable or satellite set-top box.
- An advanced graphics card for displaying the best TV experience on your computer monitor.
- A TV tuner that captures your television signal from a cable, satellite, or antenna source.
- A hardware encoder that enables you to record TV shows from cable, satellite, or antenna to your computer's hard disk.
- A TV output that allows you to display Media Center content on a television connected to your computer.
- A digital audio output that allows you to integrate digital audio from your computer into an existing home entertainment system.
- In addition, many of the features of the newest Windows Media Player 10 are optimized for Windows XP and are especially useful when installed on a Media Center PC.

How Media Center Works
At first glance, the Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 interface looks the same as XP Home or Professional. However, once you plug the wireless transceiver into one of your PC’s USB ports and press the Start button on the included remote control, a menu of multimedia options appears. To optimize the remote control functions and make it easier for you to perform interactive activities, Microsoft created an interface that’s easy to read and navigate, even if you’re riding your stationary bike at the other side of the den.

Media Center’s My TV Feature
With Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you can record live TV, so you can watch all your favorite shows on your schedule. Windows XP Media Center Edition now features dual tuner support plus support for a third over-the-air local HDTV tuner, so you can watch and record up to three different shows at the same time.

Record Your Favorite TV Shows
You can pause the show you're watching while you explore upcoming TV programs with the Electronic Program Guide. If you find something you don't want to miss, you can record it to watch later.

View upcoming TV programs with the Electronic Program Guide in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
