The PC with entertainment that tunes to you.
A desktop or notebook PC with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 delivers advanced computing plus easy-to-use integrated digital entertainment — TV and radio, music, photos, movies and home theater — that you can enjoy when and how you want
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 is built on Windows XP Professional and provides you with the same power, reliability and security enhancements. It runs your Windows XP-compatible applications like Microsoft Word and Excel and delivers a powerful gaming platform that can easily handle even your most demanding single-player and online multiplayer games.



With the single Media Center remote and the easy-to-use on-screen search menu, a world of entertainment choices are at your command from the comfort of your couch. Control and pause TV, browse the Electronic Program Guide, record your favorite shows, play music, flip through pictures, watch home movies, play a DVD and listen to FM and Internet radio.
Watch TV on your schedule. The Media Center's Personal Video Recorder (PVR) makes it simple to record TV programs. Easily browse up to 14 days of programming in the program guide or select category filters to display the programming you want (sports, movies, news, kids and more). You can also search by title or keyword and set to record single episodes or an entire season of your favorite programs.
Never miss a moment from TV or radio. With your Media Center, you can pause, rewind and skip through live TV and radio. Pause, advance frame-by-frame or skip ahead 29 seconds at a time. You can even rewatch moments with the instant replay function. Want to hear something again from your favorite FM or Internet radio station? Relisten to an important message or song introduction by replaying the last seven seconds.
Create the ultimate jukebox featuring your favorite songs. Use the remote control to navigate your entire My Music library, including songs in Windows Media, MP3 and WAV audio file formats. Choose the easy-to-use search function to quickly locate albums, artists, songs or playlists. If you want, shuffle playlists, songs by selected artists or your entire music library. On-screen displays show track, song, album and artist information so you always know exactly what you're listening to.
Grab some popcorn and head to the Media Center PC! With Media Center PC's Windows Movie Maker, you can edit and display your home movies or play the latest DVD blockbusters from Hollywood. Use the thumbnail view to browse the My Video or Shared Video folders. Use the remote control to play, pause, fast-forward and rewind. The handy interface provides the details about your videos, including title, description, duration and modified date.
Create an automated slideshow featuring your favorite photos with background music. Easily transfer pictures directly from your digital camera to your computer. Organize your photos and share them with family and friends via e-mail or posting to a personal Web site. Because your TV connects easily to your Media Center PC, you can gather family and friends and relive the fun memories.
Make your living space a home theater. Connect your Media Center PC to a standard or widescreen TV, or a high-resolution plasma or projection TV, to create a powerful home theater environment. The TV Setup and Display Calibration wizards help you configure the signal, display and video playback quality. Enhanced 16:9 support makes the most of widescreen displays.
