Media Player Software
Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer model only: With the Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer and
media player software you can play DVD movies and music CDs 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. With this drive you can also burn
onto recordable DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW discs.
Blu-ray RW model only: The software for the Blu-ray drive is pre-installed, but can also be found on the
CyberLink PowerDVD/ PowerDirector/MakeDisc CD in the event it needs to be re-installed. When used
in conjunction with the PowerDirector and MakeDisc applications, PowerDVD turns your notebook into
a powerful multi-media producer and player.

• 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.
• PROLONGED USE OF THE OPTICAL DRIVE, SUCH AS WATCHING A DVD MOVIE, WILL SUBSTANTIALLY
REDUCE YOUR BATTERY LIFE IF NO EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE IS ATTACHED.
