USING DOLBY

HEADPHONE

The Dolby Headphone utility lets you enjoy multi-
channel sound sources, such as movies, with realistic
surround sound using your conventional stereo head-
phones.

Dolby Headphone is a signal processing system that
enables your stereo headphones to realistically portray
the sound of a five-speaker playback system.

To use the Dolby Headphone feature, perform the
following steps:

1. Insert the disc in the media player tray. When you do

so, WinDVD will start automatically.

2. Place your cursor over the Fujitsu logo on the

WinDVD cotrol panel and click on it. If the disc
supports Dolby Surround 5.1, a drop down menu
appears.

3. Verify that Dolby headphones is checked on the

menu. If you do not want it active, select Disable.

USING THE MEDIA PLAYER ON
BATTERY POWER

Since media player drives consume a lot of power, your
overall battery life will be shorter when operating the
media player drive continuously (such as watching a
DVD movie). Many movie run-times are longer than
your LifeBook notebook can support on a single battery.
If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you
may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or
attach AC power during the movie to view it in its
entirety.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1. Have an additional fully-charged battery or your AC

adapter ready for use.

2. Start watching your DVD movie.

3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately

stop the movie and exit the media player.

4. Manually place your notebook into suspend mode

by depressing the Suspend button. Plug in a power
adapter and replace the discharged battery with an
additional fully-charged battery. If you do not have
an additional battery, you may use the AC power
adapter as your power source to continue watching
the movie while recharging the installed battery.

5. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend

button again. This step is not required if you
attached AC power without entering suspend mode.

6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the

chapter of the movie you were last watching.

7. Continue watching your DVD movie.

P O I N T S

■

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.

P O I N T S

■

Prolonged use of the media player drive, such as
watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your
notebook’s battery life.

■

Many movie run-times are longer than your system
can support on a single battery. If you are watching a
DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap
in an additional, charged battery or attach AC power
during the movie to view it in its entirety.

■

An additional fully-charged battery is highly recom-
mended if you will be watching DVD movies on bat-
tery power. If you don’t have an additional battery,
you may purchase one either on-line at www.fujit-
supc.com or call 1-877-372-3473.

C A U T I O N

If you do not stop the media player quickly and the
LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical
battery low state) the notebook will shut down
improperly. If this occurs, you will need to perform a
hard reset and follow the instruction, if any, presented
to you before the system will reboot.

P O I N T

Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to
swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them.
However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life
while operating the media player drive cannot be
guaranteed.
