Media Player Software
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.
Loading Media on Your Drive
To load a disc into your optical drive:
1 Push and release the release button on the front of the optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will come
out of the LifeBook notebook a short distance.
2 Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily be placed in the tray.
3 Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the raised
circle in the center of the tray.

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.
• YOU CAN CHANGE THE REGION CODE ON THE DVD PLAYER USING THE PROPERTIES MENU OF THE DVD
SOFTWARE. NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE THE REGION CODE UP TO FOUR TIMES. AFTER THE
4
TH CHANGE, THE LAST CODE ENTERED BECOMES PERMANENT, AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.
