If for some reason the eject button fails, you can open the media tray with a paper clip inserted into the eject hole in the far right side of the front of the tray.

Straighten one side of a paper clip and push it gently into the hole. The tray will pop out a short distance.

PLAYING MEDIA ON THE OPTICAL DRIVE

There are three ways to operate the optical drive:

■Using the Optical Player Software

■Using the Media Player Buttons

■Using the Desktop Control Panel

■Using Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (for systems with Media Center Edition installed)

The program used when playing DVDs on your LifeBook notebook is determined by your operating system (Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home, or Windows XP Media Center Edition). If your system is running Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home editions, the DVD player is PowerDVD, which can be selected from the Start -> Programs list. If your system is running Windows XP Media Center Edition, you should select Play DVD in MediaCenter from the Start -> Programs list.

■Prior to using your optical drive, you must install the optical player software. For details on using your optical player software, refer to the software Help file.

■If you have Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition installed, follow the on-screen instructions to operate the application.

■If you are running Media Center Edition, the remote control overrides the media player buttons; the media player buttons do not work while Media Center Edition is running.

Starting a DVD Movie

1.Insert the DVD into the notebook’s optical drive. 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 Perfor- mance dialog box and the movie will begin. After you make your selections, the PowerDVD control panel will appear whenever you insert a disc.

Opening the DVD/CD-RW Drive 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 DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive control panel and the mouse.

To open a dropdown menu for options, right-click on the movie screen.

Using the Optical Drive Control Panel

The PowerDVD optical drive software allows you to watch the movie much like a VCR player. You have the option to pause, rewind, fast-forward and stop the movie at any point.

1. To Pause the movie, click the button.
