■If you have disabled the Auto Insert Notification Function, you will have to start the drive from your desktop, since your notebook will not automatically recognize that media has been loaded.

■You should periodically check the Fujitsu website at us.fujitsu.com/computers

for the most current drivers.

■All LifeBook DVD players are set to play DVD titles with region code number 1 which is specified for the North Amer- ican market. The region number is a regional restriction code defined by the DVD Forum acting on Hollywood requirements. Different region codes are recorded on video DVD titles for publication in different areas of the world. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match the codes on the titles, then playback is impossible.

■You can change the region code on the DVD player using the Properties menu of the DVD software. Note, however, that you can only change the region code up to four times. After the fourth change, the last region code entered becomes permanent, and cannot be changed.

USING THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE

Depending upon its configuration, your system may not have the media player software pre-installed. If it is not installed, reference the documentation that accompanies the media application.

Starting a DVD Movie (DVD Models only)

1.Insert the DVD into the optical drive of the notebook. If the CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2.

2.The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD- RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection, you will receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc.

3.Click OK to close the About DVD Player Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.

Opening the Media Player Control Panel

With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering how the movie should play and what you wish to view. You can do this by using the media player control panel and the mouse.
