You need to configure your Media Center to output to a TV
• Your Media Center computer detects whether you are
using a VGA or an S-Video display device and
automatically changes the display settings for the type
of display device you are using. For more information,
review the FAQ topic at www.gateway.com
.
You want to change display settings to get better TV or DVD
image quality
• Adjust the display device brightness, contrast, hue, and
saturation. For more information review the FAQ topic
at www.gateway.com
.
You want to know whether you can burn videos that were
recorded with your Media Center computer to a DVD
• Yes, you can. The Media Center saves recorded videos
in the DVR-MS format. You can burn a DVR-MS file to a
DVD with DVD recording (burning) software, such as
Power2Go, and with the Media Center itself.
You want to know whether you can play recorded videos
on other computers
• Yes, you can. A DVR-MS file recorded to DVD can be
replayed on another Media Center computer or on a
non-Media Center computer that has a DVD player and
DVD decoder software (such as PowerDVD). The
non-Media Center computer must also have
Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service Pack (SP) 1
or 2, Windows Media Player 9 or later, and the Windows
patch Q810243 Update.
You want to know whether you can play recorded videos
on your home DVD player
• Yes, you can. DVDs recorded with the Media Center can
be played on a home DVD player.
