selectable options. The first will enable/disable the

USING THE MEDIA PLAYER

The media player allows you to use your LifeBook note-
book’s optical drive as an audio media player.

There is no configuration required for media player
operation. The buttons are pre-configured to work like a
normal media player. When the selector switch is in the
bottom position, the buttons will operate as follows:

■

Stop/Eject

: This is the first button below the Mode

button. Press it once to stop an audio CD that is play-
ing. Press it twice to eject the audio CD.

■

Play/Pause

: This is the second button below the Mode

button. Press this button to start playing an audio CD
starting at Track 1. While the audio CD is playing,
press it to pause. Press it again to continue.

■

Fast Backward

: This is the third button below the

Mode button. Press this button once to skip one track
back.

■

Fast Forward

: This is the bottom button. Press this

button once to skip forward one track.

The tabs in Application Panel Setup may
not be in the same order as the buttons on
your LifeBook notebook. Please select the
tab you wish to change carefully.

■

If you shut down from Windows while

the media player is playing an audio CD,
it will stop.

■

You cannot go into Suspend Mode or

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Mode while
the media player is playing a CD.

■

The media player will only play when

the system is powered on.

■

If you press the play button and nothing
happens, you either have the Selector
switch locked, there is no audio CD in
the media player drive, you have a CD
other than an audio CD in the drive, or
system is not powered on.

■

Because of the Windows CD auto-inser-
tion function, audio CDs will start play-
ing immediately after they are inserted if
your LifeBook notebook is on. This will
not happen if you are using the media
player in Suspend or Pseudo-off modes.
