When using Windows Media Center, 802.11a wireless networks provide optimal bandwidth. 802.11a networks are also less likely to experience interference, providing better video quality. If you currently use an 802.11g wireless network for communication between computers and other devices on your home network, consider adding an 802.11a wireless network to provide clear bandwidth for using media with the Xbox 360 console.
Improve Network Performance
The Network Performance Tuner evaluates home network performance. The Tuner checks the bandwidth between the Xbox 360 console and a Windows Media Center-based PC, and makes suggestions that could increase the bandwidth. To use the Network Performance Tuner: 1.

Select the Xbox 360 console from the list and then click Properties. 5. Click Network Performance Tuner.

Home Networks and High-Denition TV (HDTV)
Windows Media Center supports standard and highdenition video output on the Xbox 360 console. Network requirements for viewing high-denition video are greater than those required for standard video.

Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptomschildren and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
When you play Scene It? Box Office Smash! using the Big Button Pad, different puzzle types will require you to use the controller in different ways. In some puzzles you first buzz in with the Big Button , while in others you simply answer using the A, B, X, and Y buttons. (See the Puzzle Types section for puzzle-specific instructions.)
ESRB Game Ratings The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the ageappropriateness and content of computer and video games.

These symbols appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada. Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.
