Playing the Radio You can enjoy the Windows XP Media Center's FM radio and control playback with the remote. When you play the radio, the Windows XP Media Center records (buffers) up to 30 minutes of the radio program much like My TV does. This lets you go back and review part of the radio broadcast you heard earlier or listen to a broadcast segment that you missed while away from the radio. Tip: The Windows XP Media Center Radio buffers up to 30 minutes of a radio program. However, it does not let you schedule a radio recording or manually record radio programs. While listening to FM radio you can pause, play, stop, skip forward, or skip back in the audio stream. You can also change to a different station by tuning to a specific frequency, seeking the next available station, or selecting a radio preset. Tip: The Media Center FM radio shares the single tuner card with My TV. You cannot watch or record TV and listen to FM radio at the same time. When Windows XP Media Center is scheduled to start a TV program recording, a warning appears that says FM radio stops when the TV recording starts. If you do not select Cancel recording, Windows XP Media Center automatically stops the radio and begins recording TV. To auto-tune the FM radio with Seek 1 On the remote, press the Radio button. The Radio window opens. 66 2 With the remote, highlight the Seek + or Seek - button, then press the OK button. The radio auto-scans for radio stations. When a station signal tunes in, the auto-scan stops on the station. You can: • Listen to the radio station. • Highlight the Save button, then press the OK button to save this station on the next available preset radio memory slot. • Highlight the Seek + or Seek - button to continue auto-scanning for stations.
