Media Player Software
With the optical drive and media player software you can play movies and music on your notebook. The
media player includes controls which allow you to take full advantage of the features of a digital movie,
as well as standard features such as fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn
onto recordable discs.
Loading Media on Your Drive
To load a disc into your optical drive:
1 Be sure the notebook is running, then 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.
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.
