MediaDirect to function. Changing or disabling QuickSet’s default settings can limit Dell MediaDirect’s
functionality. For more information about Dell QuickSet, see the Dell Inspiron Help file. To access the help
file, see "Help File" on page 9.

use Dell MediaDirect to launch your media application by pressing the play/pause/Dell
MediaDirect button

Media Center Edition will launch.

computer from any state and automatically launch the media application.
