Depending upon the configuration of your Fujitsu Life-
Book notebook, you may have one of the following
drives:
■
CD-ROM
■
DVD/CD-RW combo
A CD-ROM drive allows you to access software, data, or
audio CDs. A DVD/CD-RW player gives you access to
movie, software, data, and audio DVD/CDs and to
access software, data, or audio CDs, and to write data
onto recordable CDs.
MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
DVD/CD-RW Model only: With the media player drive
and Media Player software you can play DVD movies on
your LifeBook 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.
In addition to the DVD capabilities, you can read audio
CDs, and write data onto a recordable CD-R or CD-RW
disc and burn CDs.
If you should need to install your Media Player software,
refer to the applicable readme file on the Driver Applica-
tions CD-ROM.

CAUTION
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.
POINTS
■
Prolonged use of the media player drive, such as
watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce the
battery life if no other power source is attached.
■
You should periodically check the Fujitsu website 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 spec-
ified for the North American market. The region
number is a regional restriction code defined by the
DVD Forum acting on the requirements of Holly-
wood. 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.
CAUTION
There may be a protective sheet in the tray from when it
was shipped; please make sure it is removed before
operating the drive.
