Optical Drive

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains an optical drive which is either a Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer or a DVD/CD-RW combo player. A Multi- Format DVD Writer allows you to play CDs and DVDs, record CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and record DVD+/-R DLs, DVD+/-Rs, DVD+/-RWs, and DVD-RAMs. A DVD/ CD-RW combo drive allows you to write data onto recordable CDs in addition to all of the standard DVD drive functions.

OPTICAL DRIVE SOFTWARE

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.

Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer model only: With this drive, you can play CDs and DVDs, record CD+/-Rs and CD+/-RWs, and record DVD+R DLs, DVD+/-R,DVD-RWs and DVD-RAMs.

■Prior to using your Optical Drive, you must install the Optical Player soft- ware. Refer to the applicable readme file on the Driver Applications CD-ROM for instructions on installing your Optical Player software.

■You should periodically check the Fujitsu Web site at: us.fujitsu.com/computers for current updated drivers.

■Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your battery life.

Do not operate your optical 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.
