LifeBook Application/
Media Player Panel
A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Life-
Book Application/Media Player Panel. This feature
makes your LifeBook notebook more than just another
notebook computer. The panel allows you to operate the
optical drive as an independent audio media player or to
launch applications with the touch of one button.
■ The LifeBook Application Panel uses the
date and time settings of your LifeBook
notebook. If the date and time are
incorrect, you can adjust the settings in
the Windows Control Panel.
■ The media player that your LifeBook
notebook uses is determined by the
configuration of your system.

that let you operate and configure your LifeBook Appli-
