■ You should periodically check the
Fujitsu website at
us.fujitsu.com/computers for the most
current 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 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.
3. Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the
hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the
raised circle in the center of the tray.
4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a
click. (Figure 4-3)
If you have disabled the Auto Insert
Notification Function, you will have to
start the drive from your desktop, since
your notebook will not automatically
recognize that media has been loaded.

EMERGENCY OPTICAL DRIVE TRAY RELEASE

(Figure 4-4). Straighten one side of a paper clip and push
it gently into the hole. The tray will pop out.

USING THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE

Depending upon its configuration, your
system may not have the media player
software pre-installed. If it is not installed,
reference the documentation that
accompanies the media application.
Starting a DVD Movie (DVD Models only)
1. Insert the DVD into the optical drive of the notebook.
If the CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2.
2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-
RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you
want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g.,
start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you
make a selection, you will receive the same prompt
whenever you insert a disc.
3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player
Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.
Opening the Media Player Control Panel
With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering
how the movie should play and what you wish to view.
You can do this by using the media player control panel
and the mouse.
1. Right-click on the movie screen to open a dropdown
menu for options.
2. Select View, then Player for all the controls available.
This will open the control panel into the bottom of
the screen.
