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.

Install your media player software before first
using the optical drive.
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.
