This manual has been created to supplement the Help that comes with your RealPlayer 7 Plus, not to replace it.
Chapters 1 through 3 are designed to help you get up and running quickly with your new software.
Chapters 4 and 5 go into detail about all of RealPlayer's features.
The explanations in Chapter 6: What is Streaming Media and How does it Work?, will make RealPlayer 7 Plus more understandable and help you to get more out of the product. It is included to help you understand streaming technology, the core of RealPlayer. Streaming is at the forefront of Web (Internet) development today and is recreating entertainment for tomorrow.
The remaining Chapters are reference sections to help you quickly find answers to common installation problems and pointers to other less obvious features (such as Appendix A: Keyboard Shortcuts).
RealPlayer 7 Plus has a number of short-cut or right-click menus for Windows users. This manual will not cover these specifically. Other specific Windows-only differences are mentioned as needed throughout this manual.
