Optical Drive
There is a variety of media available to use with
your system, depending upon the system
configuration you have selected. A DVD drive,
DVD/CD-RW Combo drive, and CD-ROM drive
are collectively known as “optical drives”.
A CD-R disc can only be written to once; CD-
RW discs can be written to over and over. CD-R
and CD-RW discs hold up to 700MB of data.
Depending upon the configuration of your
LifeBook notebook, you may have one of the
following 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.
• DVD: A DVD player gives you access to
movie, software, data, and audio DVD/CDs.
• CD-ROM: A CD-ROM drive allows you to
access software, data, or audio CDs.

Do not operate your optical drive unless
your LifeBook notebook is sitting on a
flat surface. Using the 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 other power source is attached.
