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
support.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
support.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 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.
