Media Player Drive

Your system may have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive or a
Super-Multi DVD drive. Collectively, these are known as
"optical drives". A variety of media is available to use
with your system, depending upon the system configu-
ration you have selected.
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs hold up to 4.7 GB of data. A
DVD-R disc can only be written to once; DVD-RW discs
can be written to over and over. DVD-R and DVD-RW
discs can be played on most standard DVD players.
CD-R and CD-RW discs hold up to 700 MB of data. A
CD-R disc can only be written to once; CD-RW discs
can be written to over and over.
Depending upon the configuration of your notebook,
you may have one of the following optical drives:
DVD/CD-RW combo: A DVD/CD-RW combo drive
allows you to access movie, software, data, or audio
DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
Modular Super-Multi DVD drive: This allows you to
access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs as well
as to write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-
RW, DVD+RW, and DVD RAM discs.
Install your media player software before
first using the optical drive. Refer to the
applicable readme file on the Driver
Applications CD-ROM.

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 substan-
tially reduce your battery life if no other
power source is attached.
You should regularly check the Fujitsu
web site at http://us.fujitsu.com/
computers for current updated drivers.
All LifeBook DVD players are set to play
DVD titles with region code number 1
which is specified for the North Amer-
ican 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 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 fourth
change, the last code entered becomes
permanent, and cannot be changed.
