Fujitsu N6420 manual Using the Media Player Buttons, Using the Visual Optimizer

When you have finished with Application Panel utility, click [OK]; the new settings will take effect. You can reconfigure your Application Panel as often as you like.

USING THE MEDIA PLAYER BUTTONS

The media player buttons are another way to use your LifeBook notebook’s optical drive as a media player.

•If you have Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition on your system, the media player buttons do not function, since the remote control device is used to operate the optical drive.

•If you shut down from Windows while the media player is playing a CD or DVD, it will stop.

•You can’t go into Hibernation Mode (Save-to-Disk) or Suspend Mode while the media player is playing.

•The media player will only play when the system is powered on.

There is no configuration required for media player operation. The buttons are pre-configured to work like a normal media player. The buttons will operate as follows:

Stop/Eject

Press this button once to stop a CD or DVD that is playing. Press it twice to eject the disc.

Play/Pause

Press this button to start playing a CD or DVD starting at the beginning. While the disc is playing, press it to pause. Press it again to continue.

•If you press the play button and noth- ing happens, there is no disc in the media player drive, you have other than a media disc in the drive, or sys- tem is not powered on.

•Because of the Windows auto-insertion function, discs will start playing imme- diately after they are inserted if your LifeBook notebook is on. This will not happen if you are using the media player in Suspend mode.

USING THE VISUAL OPTIMIZER

Visual Optimizer is a new feature which allows you to optimize your video viewing experience. The Visual Optimizer image quality enhancer delivers rich image quality by employing cutting-edge technologies such as a 3D color management system, auto contrast correction, black and white stretch, and edge enhancement.

The Visual Optimizer button is located adjacent to the Mode button. (See figure 2-3 on page 8 for location). The Visual Optimizer dynamically and automatically enhances images for optimal quality. To use the Visual Optimizer while viewing videos, press the button to acti- vate it. To de-activate it, press the button again.

DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL (WINDOWS XP MODELS)

If you have Microsoft Windows XP Pro installed on your system, your notebook includes a desktop control panel for your notebook’s desktop that you can use at any time. You can use this panel to operate the media drive.

To use the desktop control panel:

1.Click on Start.

2.Click on All Programs.

3.Click on LifeBook Application Panel.

4.Click on CD Player.

The desktop control panel will appear in the corner of your screen.

To close the panel:

1. Click on the “x” button.

To minimize the panel:

2. Click on the “-” button.

You can select from four appearances for your desktop control panel. Double-click on the track display area of the panel, and a menu will appear which will allow you to select from a pull-down menu. On the same pop-up are three other options: “Always on top”, “Continuous Play”, and “Disable Stop/Eject Button CD Removal”. If you click “Always on top”, the desktop controls will always be seen on your screen, no matter what other application you are running. If you click “Continuous Play”, your media player will automatically start over at the beginning of the disc in the drive as soon as it finishes the last track. If you click “Disable Stop/Eject Button CD Removal”, the disc will not be ejected auto- matically when the Stop/Eject button is pressed.

You can move the desktop control panel to anywhere on the desktop. Drag it by clicking on the track number display, holding it down, and dragging the control panel. When you place it where you would like, release the mouse button.
