Remote Controller
A remote controller, which is provided with some models, enables you to 
perform some functions of your computer from a distant location.
There are two different types of remote controllers:
Full size remote controller
Slim size remote controller
The following figure shows the buttons on the Remote Controller.
You can use your Remote Controller with Media Center to play CDs, DVDs 
and videos, and view pictures. The Remote Controller helps you navigate 
through Media Center just as a cable TV remote control navigates cable TV 
options or controls the playback of a movie in a VCR or DVD player.
Using the Remote Controller, you can:
Navigate and control all Media Center windows.
Control the video display.
Place the computer in and out of Sleep Mode.
Refer to the 
 section in this chapter for 
information on how to use the Remote Controller as well as how to install 
and remove its batteries.
Some models are included with either a Full size remote controller or 
Slim size remote controller.
Models which include the Slim size remote controller do not have a TV 
tuner installed and so do not allow viewing of TV programs.
