Media Player Drive

Depending upon the configuration of your Fujitsu Life- Book notebook, you may have one of the following drives:

■CD-ROM

■DVD

■DVD/CD-RW combo

A CD-ROM drive allows you to access software, data, or audio CDs. A DVD player gives you access to movie, software, data, and audio DVD/CDs. A DVD/CD-RW combo drive allows you to access movie, software, data, or audio DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CDs.

MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE

DVD model only: With the media player drive and media player software you can play DVD movies on your Life- Book notebook. The media player includes controls which allow you to take full advantage of the features of a DVD movie, as well as standard features such as fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc.

DVD/CD-RW Combo model only: With the combo drive, you can play DVD movies, read audio CDs, and write data onto recordable CD-R or CD-RW discs.

If you should need to install your media player software, refer to the applicable readme file on the Driver Applica-

tions CD-ROM.

C A U T I O N S

■Do not operate your media player drive unless your LifeBook notebook is sitting on a flat surface. Using a drive when the system is not level may damage the drive or prevent proper operation.

■Prolonged use of the media player drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your battery life if no other power source is attached.

P O I N T S

■You should periodically check the Fujitsu web site at www.fujitsupc.com for current updated drivers.

■All Fujitsu notebook DVD players are set to play DVD titles with region code number 1 which is specified for the North American market. The region number is a regional restriction code defined by the DVD Forum acting on the requirements of Hollywood. 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 regional 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.

1.Push and release the eject button on the front of the media player drive to open the holder tray. The tray will come out of the LifeBook notebook a short distance.

C A U T I O N
