Optical Drive
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains an optical
drive which is either a Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD
Writer or a DVD/CD-RW combo player. A Multi-
Format DVD Writer allows you to play CDs and DVDs,
record CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and record DVD+/-R DLs,
DVD+/-Rs, DVD+/-RWs, and DVD-RAMs. A DVD/
CD-RW combo drive allows you to write data onto
recordable CDs in addition to all of the standard DVD
drive functions.

Prior to using your Optical Drive, you
must install the Optical Player soft-
ware. Refer to the applicable readme file
on the Driver Applications CD-ROM for
instructions on installing your Optical
Player software.
■
You should periodically check the Fujitsu
Web site at: us.fujitsu.com/computers
for current updated drivers.
■
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such
as watching a DVD movie, will
substantially reduce your battery life.
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.
There may be a protective sheet in the tray
from when it was shipped; please make sure
it is removed before operating the drive,
otherwise your drive may be damaged.
If you have disabled the Auto Insert Notifi-
cation Function, you will have to start the
drive from your desktop, since your note-
book will not automatically recognize that
media has been loaded.
