3. Setting your Player preferences.

-Usually the preferences best suited for your system are autoselected when you first enter the preferences page. However, you can change them if you want by pressing the "Change Player Prefs" button at the bottom of the menu bar in the lower left corner of your screen. This button is also on the player.

-The choices in the player preferences window are as follows:

connection: hi (DSL/Cable)
low (Dial-up)

media player: Windows Media Player
Real Player
Quicktime
Default Player (uses default system player)

Changing your "connection" to either "High" or "Low" determines whether the media available for preview will be presented in "Hi" quality, or relative "Low" quality.

-Changing your player somewhat controls the type of media that will be delivered to you. For example if you select Windows Media as your player, the media you view will be delivered to you in formats Windows Media Player under- stands. Selecting the default player will launch your machines preferred player.

-These preferences do not affect media that is available for download. Preferences only control how Preview media is presented.
