Optical Drive
There is a variety of media available to use with your system, depending upon the system configuration you have
selected. The following optical drive is installed in your system:
• Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: This drive lets you access movies, audio DVD/CDs, and software, and 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
To load a disc into your optical drive, follow these steps:
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 notebook a short distance.
• 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 SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE YOUR BATTERY LIFE IF NO EXTERNAL
POWER SOURCE IS ATTACHED.
