Automatic Updates

In either case, RealOne Player continually contacts RealNetworks to determine if critical software updates are required. (This communication can be limited to when RealOne Player is in use by enabling the "Only perform automatic services while RealOne Player is in use" option in Tools>Preferences>Connection>Internet Settings.)
