USING DOLBY HEADPHONE
™
The Dolby Headphone utility lets you enjoy multi-
channel sound sources, such as movies, with realistic
surround sound using conventional stereo headphones.
Dolby Headphone is a signal processing system that
enables your stereo headphones to realistically portray
the sound of a five-speaker playback system
■ Media discs which do not have the
Dolby Surround 5:1 symbol will not
support Dolby Headphone.
After making changes to the Dolby
■
Headphone 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. Insert the disc in the optical drive tray. When you do
so, WinDVD will start automatically.
2. Place your cursor over the Fujitsu logo on the
WinDVD control panel and click on it. If the disc
supports Dolby Surround 5.1, a drop down menu
appears.
3. Verify that Dolby headphones is checked on the
menu. If you do not want it active, select Disable.

USING THE DRIVE ON BATTERY POWER

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be shorter when operating the optical
drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie).
Many movie run-times are longer than your LifeBook
notebook 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.
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as
watching a DVD movie, will substantially
reduce your 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 battery is recommended if
you will be watching DVD movies on
battery power. If you don't have an
additional battery, you may purchase one
either on-line at:
