User-Installable Features

Using the Optical Drive Control Panel

The PowerDVD optical drive software allows you to

watch the movie much like a VCR player. You have the

option to pause, rewind, fast-forward and stop the

movie at any point.

1. To Pause the movie, click the button.

2. To Rewind the movie, click the  button to rewind

to a specific portion of the movie, or the  button

to return to the opening screen.

3. To Fast-forward the movie, click the  button to

forward to a specific portion of the movie, or the

button to jump to the ending credits.

4. To Stop the movie, click the  button.

Exiting the Optical Player

1. Click the U in the upper right corner of the title bar.

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

To use Dolby Headphones, perform the following:

1. Insert the disc in the optical drive tray. When you do

so, PowerDVD will start automatically.

2. Place your cursor over the Fujitsu logo on the

PowerDVD control panel and click on it. If the disc

supports Dolby Surround 5.1, a menu will appear.

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.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1. Have an additional fully-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 optical player

4. Manually place your notebook into suspend mode

by depressing the Suspend button. Plug in a power

adapter and replace the discharged battery with an

additional fully-charged battery. If you do not have

an additional battery, you may use the AC power

adapter as your power source to continue watching

the movie while recharging the installed battery.

5. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend

button again. This step is not required if you

attached AC power without entering suspend mode.

6. Restart your optical drive, locate and skip to the

chapter of the movie you were last watching.

7. Continue watching your DVD movie.

■

Media discs which do not have the

Dolby Surround 5:1 symbol will not

support Dolby Headphone.

■

After making changes to Dolby Head-

phone and clicking OK, wait at least 10

seconds before making another change

in order to allow the system to stabilize.

■

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:

www.shopfujitsu.com or call 1-877-

372-3473.

If you don’t stop the optical drive quickly

and the notebook attempts to auto-

suspend (critical battery low state) the

notebook will shut down improperly. If this

occurs, you will need to power the system

up with the power/suspend/resume button

and follow any instructions that appear.

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.
