HP Media Center PC Software Guide
Standby button
The Standby button puts the computer in to
and out of a power-reduced state, called
standby, which runs the computer with
minimal power until you give it a command. To take
the computer out of standby, press the Standby
button for at least one to two seconds on the remote
control. It is recommended that you use this button
when Media Center is closed. You must press Standby for one to two seconds.
An LED (light-emitting diode) located under the
Standby button blinks when the remote control is
transmitting a signal to the remote sensor.
Recording in standby mode
Media Center can take the PC out of standby mode
just before a scheduled show begins recording. The
PC returns to standby mode when the recording is
complete. Media Center begins recording with the monitor
and sound turned on unless you manually turn them
off before the scheduled recording.
Media Center cannot record TV programs if the
computer is turned off.
Remote control LED and the remote sensor LED
Under the Standby button is an LED that blinks when
the remote control is sending a signal to the remote
sensor. The remote sensor displays a red LED when you
press a button on the remote control (select models
only). Some kinds of lighting may cause the remote
sensor to blink without you pressing the remote
control.
n
Make sure you turn
off the monitor and
turn down or mute
the volume, for
example, if you have
a scheduled recording
in the middle of the
night and don’t want
to be disturbed.
The PC will not
automatically go into
standby mode if
Media Center is open.
It is best to close
Media Center before
you manually
place the PC in
standby mode.
w
If you turn off
(shut down) your PC,
Media Center will not
record a scheduled TV
program. The PC must
be turned on or in
standby mode to
record TV programs.
