USING THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
Starting a DVD Movie (DVD Models only)
1. Insert the DVD into the optical drive of the notebook.
If the CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2.
2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-
RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you
want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g.,
start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you
make a selection, you will receive the same prompt
whenever you insert a disc.
3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player
Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.
Opening the Media Player Control Panel
With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering
how the movie should play and what you wish to view.
You can do this by using the media player control panel
and the mouse.

All LifeBook 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
Hollywood requirements. 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 play-
back 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 perma-
nent, and cannot be changed.
If you have disabled the Auto Insert
Notification Function, you will have to
start the drive from your desktop, since
your LifeBook notebook will not
automatically recognize that media has
been loaded.
Depending upon its configuration, your
system may not have the media player
software pre-installed. If it is not installed,
reference the documentation that
accompanies the media application.
