USING DOLBY

™

HEADPHONE

The Dolby Headphone utility lets you enjoy multi-
channel sound sources, such as movies, with realistic
surround sound using your

conventional

stereo head-

phones.

Dolby Headphone is a signal processing system that
enables your stereo headphones to realistically portray
the sound of a five-speaker playback system.

To use the Dolby Headphone feature, perform the
following steps:

1. Insert the disc in the media 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 MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWER

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be significantly shorter when operating
the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD
movie) than during standard operation. Many movies
run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can
support on a single charged 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.

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.

4. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace

the discharged battery with an additional fully-
charged battery. 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 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 S

■

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.

P O I N T S

■

Prolonged use of the optical 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 recom-

mended 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

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.

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 optical drive cannot be guaranteed.
