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

CAUTIONS
■
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.
■
Prolonged use of the media player drive, such as
watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce
your battery life if no other power source is
attached.
POINTS
■
You should periodically check the Fujitsu web site 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
specified for the North American market. The
region number is a regional restriction code defined
by the DVD Forum acting on the requirements of
Hollywood. 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.
■
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 fourth
change, the last region code entered becomes
permanent, and cannot be changed.
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.
