Instructions on how to play High Definition (HD) audio  
and video files  
1. Video format  
The standard product has no installation software or a plug-in for high definition  
audio and video players; although some models may come with audio and video  
software, it is not guaranteed that they will support all high definition audio and  
video formats. Therefore, if the user needs to play high definition audio and video  
or CD material, the user will need to purchase or download software or a plug-in  
from the internet that can play the corresponding audio or video files.  
Because commercial audio and video files or files obtained via the internet do not  
yet have uniform production standards, if the user cannot play or has difficulty  
playing some of the audio and video files during normal operation, it does not  
necessarily mean there is a hardware or system problem; instead, the user is  
recommended to consult with the supplier or manufacturer concerning problems  
related to audio and video players, plugins and audio and video files.  
IdeaCentre Q150 has been tested for playing high definition audio and video files  
of the following specifications: (the actual audio and video performance may be  
different according to differences in individual product configuration, software and  
hardware, as well as audio and video file formats)

The system can develop problems due to erroneous operation or the installation of  
additional software. If software problems develop in the originally installed software,  
you can restore the system by using system backup and restoration features.  
Note: The existing system settings will change after restoration. Check the  
settings of the restored system to ensure they match settings that may be  
critical to your needs.  
Use the following procedure to restore the software to a known functional level:  
1. Click Start  
All Programs  
Accessories  
System Tools

System Tools  
Disk  
Cleanup.  
2. Choose the disk you want to clean up.  
3. Click the OK button to start the cleanup process.  
4.4 Checking For, and Correcting Disk Errors  
To properly maintain your system, you should periodically check for and fix hard  
disk errors by doing the following:  
1. Right-click the icon for the hard disk drive (HDD) that you want to reorganize,  
then select Properties from the pop-up menu.  
2. Select the Tools tab, and then click Check Now.  
3. Check your inspection items for the disk and click Start.  
Note: You cannot start error checking until the computer is restarted and  
initialized.  
4.5 Defragmenting the Disk(s)  
Disk fragments are tiny unused storage areas scattered on the disk. The system  
cannot directly reutilize these “blank” spaces and system performance can  
decrease as system operations usually cause the number of unused storage gaps  
to increase. To defragment your disk storage, do the following:  
1. Right-click the icon for the hard disk drive (HDD) that you want to reorganize,  
then select Properties from the pop-up menu.  
2. Go to the Tools tab from disk Properties and select Defragment Now.  
3. Select the time and scheme to be used by the defragging program, then start  
the defragmenting program. Depending on the amount of defragmentation on  
the hard disk drive, this procedure can take a long time (sometimes more than  
one hour).

4.6 Performing Daily Maintenance Tasks  
Cleaning the computer components  
Because many of the computer components consist of sophisticated integrated  
circuit boards, it is very important to periodically clean around the computer  
to prevent dust buildup. The cleaning supplies you need in order to clean the  
components include: a vacuum cleaner, a soft cotton cloth, clear water (pure water  
preferred) and cotton swabs.  
Attention: Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer  
from the electrical outlet. Clean your computer with a soft cloth  
dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may  
contain flammable substances.  
Note: To avoid damaging the computer or display, do not spray cleaning  
solution directly onto the display. Only use products specifically designed  
for cleaning displays, and follow the instructions that are included with the  
product.  
The following are general methods for cleaning the components:  
You can use a soft cloth to remove dust on the surface of the computer, the  
monitor, the printer, the speakers and the mouse.  
You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean in otherwise inaccessible corners.  
To clean the keyboard thoroughly, shut down the computer and scrub it gently  
with a wet cloth.  
• Do not use the keyboard until it is dry.  
Do not do any of the following:  
• Allow water to enter the computer  
• Use a heavily dampened cloth  
• Spray water directly onto the surface of the monitor or inside of computer.  
Daily attention should be given to LCD monitors. Use a dry cloth daily to brush  
dust from the monitor and keyboard. Keep all surfaces clean and free of grease  
stains.

5.4 Troubleshooting problems with Hard Disks  
Problem: The capacity of the hard disk, as indicated by the system, is less than  
the nominal capacity.  
Troubleshooting and problem resolution: For computers equipped with the  
OneKey Recovery feature, the system recovery feature needs to occupy some  
hard disk space. This may account for the apparent hard disk capacity deficit.  
Further Technical Explanation: The nominal capacity of the hard disk is  
expressed in the decimal system, 1000 bytes. But the actual hard disk capacity is  
expressed in the binary system as 1024 bytes (For example, a nominal capacity of  
1GB is 1000MB, while the actual capacity of 1GB is 1024MB).  
The capacity of the hard disk shown in Windows can be worked out according to  
the calculations in the following example:  
The nominal capacity of the hard disk is 40GB, while its actual capacity  
should be: 40 x 1000 x 1000 x1000/ (1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 37GB.  
If the Service partition of 3GB - 3 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000/ (1024 x 1024  
x1024) = 2.79GB is subtracted, the capacity of the hard disk shown in the  
system can be obtained.  
The capacity of the hard disk as calculated using this method may be slightly  
different from the actual capacity due to the rounding of totals.  
5.5 Special considerations for troubleshooting Windows  
Record the following information that may be useful later when troubleshooting  
system problems:  
1. The serial number of the software. The serial number is shipped labeled on the

is unable to retrieve this number.  
2. The drivers for this computer model support Windows XP or Windows 7  
systems.  
3. When you use the Windows Media Center to watch TV, pay particular attention  
to the following:  
• In the following two situations, you must re-save the channel list:  
a. When you change your TV signal from digital to analog, your saved  
channel list for digital TV is deleted. When you want to watch digital TV  
again, you must create and save a new channel list.  
b. When you change your TV signal from analog to digital, your saved  
channel list for analog TV is deleted. When you want to watch analog TV  
again, you must create and save a new channel list.  
• Before you can watch teletext programming, you must set the TV tuner input  
signal to analog.
