Creative
RemoteCenter
Creative RemoteCenter converts your computer into an entertainment system, which you can control
from the comfort of your bed or sofa. With the remote control and RemoteCenter Player, a simple but
powerful multimedia player, you can play audio and video CDs on your computer from a distance. You
no longer need to be directly in front of your computer to select or change tracks because the remote
center system comes with On-Screen Display (OSD), which makes the commands or functions available,
viewable from a distance of 4 metres. RemoteCenter also allows you to start and control your favorite
Windows applications.
For more information on Creative RemoteCenter, refer to its online Help.
