Starting ATI Multimedia Center™ 7 
Using the ATI Multimedia Center™ 
The ATI Multimedia Center™ is a suite of software applications. You can 
watch TV broadcasts or view video from video CDs, DVDs, or files on 
your computer. You can also listen to FM radio or music on CD or your 
hard drive. There are dozens of special features, such as EazyConnect™ 
software which enables TV on your home network, and the ATI 
Multimedia Center™ Library which helps you manage your multimedia 
files and burn sound and video onto CDs and DVDs. 

Starting ATI Multimedia Center™ 

There are several ways to start ATI Multimedia Center™ on your system. 
This section outlines the various ways it can be launched. 

Using the ATI Multimedia Center™ LaunchPad 

The LaunchPad provides a convenient way to start all your ATI 
Multimedia Center™ features. When you install the ATI Multimedia

In appears in place of TV in the LaunchPad.

resources. If you try to start one of these features while another is running, 
a resource conflict message appears.

Advanced Aspect Ratio Tab 

Use Advanced Aspect Ratio tab to customize your display’s aspect ratio, so 
that you can watch a movie in full-screen, letterbox, or standard TV (4:3 
ratio) modes. The aspect ratio is the relationship of picture width (x-axis) 
to height (y-axis). This feature is especially useful if your display is wide-
screen or projection TV. 

In addition, you can also use this tab to add a DVD title to the Known DVD 
list, ensuring that any settings you configure will be retained upon future 
viewings. 

• Some discs may not support the aspect ratio you select. For example, 
selecting letterbox for a DVD formatted to display at a 4:3 ratio will not 
provide letterbox playback.

Standard DVDs typically provide several menu items, allowing you to 
jump to specific portions of the disc or access other features. Typical menu 
features include: 

• Title (usually, a whole movie or album) 
• Root 
•Audio 
• Sub-picture (sub-pictures overlay the video and are used for 
subtitles, karaoke, menus, simple animation, and so on.) 
•Angle 
• Chapter 
Menu items are dependant on the features available on a DVD disc. 
Select DVD Menus 

•Click the Menus button in the DVD dashboard, or click Ctrl + M. 
Select the menu item. 
Selecting Audio Channels 

Standard DVDs often contain multiple audio streams, providing either the 
original dialog or dialog dubbed into other languages. You can change the 
active audio stream you are listening to in the DVD player. 

• DVDs can support up to eight audio channels, but not all discs provide 
them.

menu of available audio streams is displayed. The currently playing 
channel is checkmarked.

Some DVDs provide more multiple viewing angles for given scenes or 
chapters. Up to nine different angles can be included for a given DVD 
segment.

Using Subtitles, Closed Captions, and External 
Captions 

Subtitles allow viewers to read text that accompanies the dialog, often

can be accessed through the Closed Caption button on the DVD 
dashboard. 

You can choose the language of the text to be displayed and whether or not 
the text will appear in the same window as the video or in a separate, 
scrollable window. 

• Most movies include subtitles rather than closed captions. Closed 
captioning must have be available as a feature on the DVD disc in order 
for it to be available. 
External subtitles be also be added, allowing you to view subtitles in 
languages not provided on the DVD disc. The DVD player supports two of 


142 Playing DVD 
the most common subtitle formats: MicroDVD Player and SubViewer 2.0. 
These subtitles can be played in the video window or in a separate window. 

• A Closed Caption tab is available via the Setup button, which

Parental Control 

Parental Control lets you restrict access to selected material by requiring 
password access, and can be used to prevent children from viewing an 
inappropriate DVD. When a parental level is set, the DVD player will not 
play any DVD lower than that rating. The following table depicts the 
playable levels against the Motion Picture Association of America 
(MPAA) movie rating system: 

Rating Parental Level 
G (General Audiences) Kid’s titles/Play all titles 
PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Adult titles/Play all titles 
PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) Adult titles/Play all titles 
R (Restricted) Adult titles/Play all titles 
NC-17 (No One 17 and Under 
Admitted) 
Adult titles/Play all titles

You will need to remember this password to play movies higher than 
the otherwise allowable parental control level. 

A/B Repeat 

You can play a section of a DVD disc by setting a start point (A) and an end

S/PDIF 

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) allows transfer of digital audio 
from one location to another without analog conversion; it is the standard 
format for exchanging digital audio signals between consumer audio 
components. Connections can be coaxial or optical. 


DVD Keyboard Shortcuts 151 
You can connect your video card’s audio output directly to an S/PDIF 
amplifier or speaker set; for details, see the installation guide that came 
with your video card. 

• S/PDIF is not compatible with analog audio. You must have a 
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel A/V receiver; enabling S/PDIF with an 
analog receiver will not provide audio. 
• If you are using regular speakers on your PC, but do not hear audio 
while playing a DVD, ensure that the Enable S/PDIF output box 
is not checked. 
• High-quality audio cables can be used for short lengths; good 75ohm 
cable and good 75-ohm connectors can provide lengths up to 
25 feet.

Setting up an EazyConnect™ Server 153 
EazyConnect™ 
With EazyConnect™ you can use your home computer network to share 
audio and video content among all your networked PCs. One networked PC 
with an All-in-Wonder® video card can provide TV feeds to the other PCs 
on the network, even if they do not have TV tuners. All network users can 
schedule recording sessions and request recorded programs for playback on 
their PCs. 

EazyConnect™ works on a client-server network consisting of a server PC 
with the full ATI Multimedia Center™ feature installed, which provides 
the TV signal through one or more hubs to the connected client PCs that 
have EazyConnect™ installed 

• For proper operation, EazyConnect™ must be installed on client and 
server PCs running either Windows® XP or Windows® 2000. 
Setting up an EazyConnect™ Server 

Setting up EazyConnect™ is a two-part process. 

1 Configure a computer as an EazyConnect™ server. 
2 Set up one or more EazyConnect™ client computers. 

If additional servers are added use the EazyConnect™ Configuration 
Utility to determine which clients can connect to which servers. You must 
run the EazyConnect™ Configuration Utility before setting up the server. 

When a client PC is first installed, it will connect to the first available server 
by default. The Client tab appears in the ATI Multimedia Center™ 
configuration panel under the EazyConnect™ tab, but only if both 
EazyConnect™ and the client software are installed. 

• EazyConnect™ must be installed on each client PC.
