Quick Tip

You can enhance your Media Center experience through 3rd party applications. Click here to see some.

Almost any menu strip can be hidden with a simple registry tweak. Click here for details.

With a picture on screen, press "Info" (or "More") on the remote and select "Rotate" to rotate it.

In the Guide, press Skip/Replay on the remote to skip forward/back 12 hours at a time.

Press "Clear" on the remote to delete the media that is currently highlighted (works for Recorded TV, Videos, Music, and Pictures).

With an album, video, or recorded show highlighted, simply hit "Play" on the remote to start it playing immediately - faster than pressing "OK" and then selecting "Play" on the menu.

Use the channel +/- buttons on the remote to browse the guide a page at a time.

Pressing "OK" on the remote while watching Live TV will go to the previous channel.

While in the guide press the Record button on the remote twice to do a series recording.

In the picture library, highlight the folder or tag you want, then press "Play" on the remote to start a slideshow.

In the Guide, press FF/REW on the remote to skip forward/back 3 hours at a time.
