Starting the Media Center

The first time you open Media Center, the program displays a setup
wizard. You will use the wizard to configure your Internet connection
and speakers.

Microsoft Help.

Using the optical drive
Optical storage has become the preferred medium for software,
music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a
significant increase in data storage and support features that are not
available on any other video platform. These features include wide-
screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound,
multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.
For these reasons, your computer may come with an optical drive.
