Media Player Software
With the Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer and media player software you can play DVD movies and
music CDs on your 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.
With this drive you can also burn onto recordable DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW 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.
2 Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily be placed in the tray.

• 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 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 4TH CHANGE, THE LAST CODE ENTERED BECOMES PERMANENT, AND CANNOT BE
CHANGED.
