Are you asking on how to access it? If so, then just hit the Menu button on the included remote and it'll show up. Another way to access it is Apple+Esc

I've had mine hooked up to a 32-inch LCD at 1368 x 768. The picture quality was great!

Hooked mine up to a 50" plasma, works like a charm

Thanks for the tip on the Apple+Esc. I have always opened it Via the Remote but that might come in handy sometime!!

Thanks again. Tried to Rep you but it wants me to spread more Rep around!

The remote can be used for alot of the media programs, and a few others. Plus there are apps you can download that will really add to the stuff you can use it with.

another very very simple thing u can do with the remote is raise/lower the volume by pressing the + or - buttons when not in front row.
you can also control itunes w/ ur remote w/o being in front row.

The audio out port on the left side of the computer is a combo-port both optical and analog. Just buy the correct cable and you can hook it up to a 5.1 amp.

You need a Toslink digital audio cable.
