Optical Drive
Your system may have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive or a
Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD drive. These are known
as “optical drives”. A variety of media is available to use
with your system, depending upon the optical drive in
your system.
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs hold up to 4.7 GB of data
(DVD-R discs used with the Multi-Format Dual-Layer
DVD writer hold up to 8.5 GB of data.). A DVD-R disc
can only be written to once; DVD-RW discs can be
written to over and over. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
can be played on most standard DVD players.
CD-R and CD-RW discs hold up to 640 MB of data. A
CD-R disc can only be written to once; CD-RW discs
can be written to over and over.
Depending upon the configuration of your notebook,
you may have one of the following optical drives:
■
DVD/CD-RW combo: A DVD/CD-RW combo drive
allows you to access movie, software, data, or audio
DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
■
Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: This drive
allows you to access movies, software, and audio
DVD/CDs as well as to read and write to CD-R, CD-
RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and
DVD RAM discs. The dual-layer architecture allows
you to record up to 8.5 GB of data on DVD+R discs.
LOADING MEDIA ON YOUR DRIVE
To load a disc into your optical drive:
1. Push and release the eject button on the front of the
optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will
come out of the LifeBook notebook a short distance.
2. Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily
be placed in the tray.

Install your media player software before
first using the optical drive. Refer to the
applicable readme file on the Driver
Applications CD-ROM.
■ Do not operate your optical drive unless
your LifeBook notebook is sitting on a
flat surface. Using a drive when the
system is not level may damage the
drive or prevent proper operation.
■ Prolonged use of the optical drive, such
as watching a DVD movie, will substan-
tially reduce your battery life if no other
power source is attached.

You should regularly check the Fujitsu
web site at: http://
www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support
for current updated 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 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 fourth
change, the last code entered becomes
permanent, and cannot be changed.
