Media discs which do not have the Dolby Surround

feature and clicking OK, wait at least ten seconds
before making another change in order to allow the
system to stabilize.
To use the Dolby Headphone feature, perform the
following steps:
1. Double click the InterVideo WinDVD icon on your
desktop.
2. On the toolbar that appears, click the Properties
button (the fourth button from the left, with the
image of a wrench).
3. On the Properties window, select the Dolby Head-
phone tab.
4. To enable Dolby Headphone, check the Enable
Dolby Headphone box. To change the type of
surround sound, select one of the radio buttons
listed under Room Filter Setting.
5. Click OK. The Dolby Headphone feature will now
be enabled until you disable it by unchecking Enable
Dolby Headphone.
USING THE MEDIA PLAYER ON
BATTERY POWER
Since media player drives consume a lot of power, your
overall battery life will be shorter when operating the
media player drive continuously (such as watching a
DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many
movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook note-
book can support on a single battery. If you are watching
a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in
an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during
the movie to view it in its entirety.
C A U T I O N
Prolonged use of the media player drive, such as
watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your
LifeBook notebook's battery life.
Many movie run-times are longer than your system can
support on a single battery. If you are watching a DVD
movie on battery power you may need to swap in an
additional, charged battery or attach AC power during
the movie to view it in its entirety.

An additional fully-charged battery is highly
recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on
battery power. If you don't have an additional battery,
you may purchase one either online at
www.fujitsupc.com or by calling 1-877-372-3473.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your
AC adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately
stop the movie and exit the media player.
C A U T I O N
If you do not stop the media player quickly and the
LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical
battery low state) the LifeBook notebook will shut
down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to
perform a hard reset and follow the instruction, if any,
presented to you before the system will reboot.
4. Manually place your LifeBook notebook into
suspend mode by depressing the Suspend button
and replace the discharged battery with an addi-
tional full-charged battery. Or if you do not have an
additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon
as you see the low battery warning.
5. Resume your LifeBook notebook by pressing the
Suspend button again. This step is not required if
you attached AC power without entering suspend
mode.
6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the
chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
P O I N T
Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to
swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them.
However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life
while operating the media player drive cannot be
guaranteed.
