User Installable Features Media Eject Button Emergency Tray Release Media Holder Tray Figure 4-3 Optical Disk Drive Optical Drive There is a variety of media available to use with your system, depending upon the system configuration you have selected. Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer and DVD/CD-RW Combo drives are collectively known as "optical drives". A CD-R or DVD-R disc can only be written to once; CD-RW or DVD-RW discs can be written to over and over. CD-R and CD-RW discs hold up to 700MB of data. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs hold up to 4.7 GB of data. A dual-layer (single-sided) DVD+R disc can hold up to 8.5 GB of data. Depending upon the configuration of your LifeBook notebook, you may have one of the following drives: ■ Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: The DualLayer Multi-Format DVD Writer combines seven recordable formats in a single drive (DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R, and CD-RW), making it the most versatile drive to date. ■ 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. Install your media player software before first using the optical drive. Refer to the applicable readme file on the Driver Applications CD-ROM. MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer model only: With the Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer and media player software you can play DVD movies and music CDs on your notebook. The media player includes controls which allow you to take full advantage of the features of a DVD movie, as well as standard features such as fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn onto recordable DVD+R DL, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW discs. The Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer also supports burning and reading of DVD-RAM. (Windows XP supports burning and reading of DVD-RAM as a standard feature.) DVD/CD-RW Combo model only: With the combo drive, you can play DVD movies, read audio CDs, and write data onto recordable CD-R or CD-RW discs. LOADING A DVD OR CD To load a disc into your optical drive, follow these steps (Figure 4-4): 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. 2. Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily be placed in the tray. There may be a protective sheet in the tray from when it was shipped; make sure it is removed before operating the drive, otherwise you may damage the drive. 3. Place the media disc into the tray, label side up. Snap the hole in the center of the disc onto the raised circle in the center of the tray. 4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click. 39
