USING THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
Starting a DVD Movie
1. Insert the DVD movie into your optical drive. If the
CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2.
2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-
RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you
want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g.,
start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you
make a selection, you will receive the same prompt
whenever you insert a disc.
3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player
Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.
Opening the Media Player Control Panel
With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering
how the movie should play and what you wish to view.
You can do this by using the media player control panel
and the mouse or touchpad.
1. Right-click on the movie screen to open a drop-
down menu for options.
2. Select View, then Player for all the controls avail-
able. This will open the control panel into the
bottom of the screen.
Using the Media Player Control Panel
The media player 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 on-screen 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 Media Player
1. Click the U located in the upper right corner of the
title bar. This will open a media player dialog box.
2. Click Yes to stop and exit the movie, or No to close
the media player dialog box and return to the
movie.
USING DOLBY
™
HEADPHONE
The Dolby Headphone utility lets you enjoy multi-
channel sound sources, such as DVD movies, with real-
istic virtual surround sound using conventional stereo
headphones. The Dolby Headphone is a utility that is
available in the PowerDVD application.
Dolby Headphone is a signal processing system that
enables your stereo headphones to realistically emulate
the sound of a multi-speaker playback system.
If you disabled the Auto Play function, you
will have to start the drive from your
desktop, since your LifeBook notebook will
not automatically recognize that media has
been loaded.
Depending upon its configuration, your
system may not have the media player
software pre-installed. If it is not installed,
reference the documentation that
accompanies the media application.
■
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.
