This user’s guide contains information on using the Fujitsu Remote

Control with systems running Microsoft® Windows® XP Media

Center Edition as the operating system. The remote control can be

used with a system running Windows XP Media Center Edition,

whether the system has an internal TV tuner or not.

You are strongly advised to read this manual to familiarize yourself

with the features of the remote control.

Determining Your System Configuration

Your remote control can be used with your computer whether you

have a TV tuner or not. If you do not have a TV tuner, you can use

the remote control to operate the Windows XP Media Center

Edition features, such as playing DVDs, listening to music, or

viewing digital photo albums.

If you have a TV tuner installed, you can use the remote to control

the channel and volume, pause live TV, and record TV programs.

Figures 1, 2, and 3 illustrate the three ways your system can be

configured:

■

No TV Tuner

■

TV Tuner with direct signal

■

TV Tuner with signal routed through set-top box
