Optical Drive
Your system contains a Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer. This drive allows you to access movies, software, and
audio DVD/CDs as well as to read and write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD RAM discs.
The dual-layer architecture allows you to record up to 8.5 GB of data on DVD+R discs.
Media Player Software
With the optical drive and media player software you can play movies and music on your notebook. The media player
includes controls which allow you to take full advantage of the features of a digital movie, as well as standard features
such as fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn onto recordable discs.
Loading Media on Your Drive
To load a disc into your optical drive:
1 Push and release the eject 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.
•
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.
