Troubleshooting
The Media Player Access
indicator on the Status
Indicator Panel blinks at
regular intervals when
no disc is in the tray or
the media drive is not
installed.
The Windows media player auto
insert notification function is
active and is checking to see if a
media disc is ready to run.
This is normal. However, you may disable this
feature. (See Auto Insert Notification Function on
page 41 for more information)
The media player will
not play international
DVD titles
The region code for the DVD
does not match that of the media
player.
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.
NOTE: You can change the region code on the DVD
player using the Properties menu of the DVD soft-
ware. 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.
The LifeBook notebook

movie.
The media player software has
not been installed.
Locate and install the DVD-ROM Applications CD.
