Playing Audio CD
1. Open PowerDVD, insert the Audio CD you wish to play and click the Play but-
ton.
Region Code Settings
Most of the DVD titles in today's markets are governed by a regional code that
divides the world into six separate regions. This ensures maximization of revenues
for motion picture studios' theatrical and home releases, which times and dates
vary from region to region.
1. Open Power DVD and insert the DVD you wish to play into the optical drive.
2. Upon inserting your DVD, note the dialog box. Click OK.
2. To change your Audio CD playlist, click the Menu button during playback or
during pause mode. By default, your playlist will duplicate all the tracks avail-
able on your Audio CD from the left window. Click Clear to clear your playlist
or Reset to return to the default setting.
3. Select tracks and click Add to add to your Playlist. For selecting multiple tracks,
press the <Ctrl> key when selecting or press the <Shift> key to select tracks in a
row.
3. After the region has been set, this dialog box will no longer prompt you unless
an encoded DVD title from another region is inserted.
PowerDVD will only allow you to set the regional settings five times until the
regional code is fixed. Subsequently, playback of DVD titles will be specific to one
region. Some DVD titles may not be region-specific.
5. Click OK when you are finished.
For more information on how to use PowerDVD, please refer to the on-line Help by
clicking the Help button.

folder are loaded into the Library.
The Movie-Making Process
The digital movie production process involves a combination of artistry and tech-
nology, beginning with raw video footage and ending with a movie production.
PowerDirector provides the easiest way to produce your finished movie and pub-
lish it to the medium of your choice.
Step 2: Managing Clips in the Workspace
Once you have loaded media files into the Library, they are ready to be used in
your movie. You can load different types of media clips into the different tracks in
the workspace, move them to different locations in your story, and delete them
from the workspace.
Pre-Production
Before you edit your movie using PowerDirector, you must first create (or gather)
its component parts: video clips, photos, music, and narrative voice-overs. You
may collect raw footage yourself with a camcorder or other recording device, or
you may simply use non-copyright protected media files that you have on hand.
Adding a Clip to the Workspace
Adding Video & Image Clips
Editing
1. Click
to open the Media Room in the Library.
When you have your raw footage on hand, you might expect to use PowerDirector
to trim video and audio content to a desired length, add a special effect to a video
clip, add transition effects between video clips..., etc.
2. Select Video, Image, or All Media from the Filter drop-down list to sort the clips
in the Media Room.
Ready to Burn
3. Select a clip, then add it to the workspace. You may do this in one of the follow-
ing ways:
When you are ready to burn your movie to disc, you should have several discs on
hand that are compatible with your burning drive. Make sure not only that the
media type is correct (i.e.: that you have DVDs for a DVD drive and CDs for a CD
drive), but that your discs are all in the correct format (for example, CD-R or
DVD+RW). Keep several discs on hand in case your drive encounters errors, or to
make duplicate copies when you are satisfied with the results.
• Click
to add the clip to the Video track or
to add
the clip to the PiP track.
• Drag clips to a desired position in the Video or PiP track.
You may select several clips and drag them together into the same track, provided
all of the clips are compatible with the destination track.
Step 1: Loading Clips into the Library
When loading media clips into PowerDirector's Library, you have two options: to
load media files individually, or to load an entire folder that contains media files
you want to use in your current project.

FAQ and Troubleshooting
The following are descriptions of situations that you may encounter during use of
the Joybook, along with basic troubleshooting steps. If you are not able to resolve
the issue, immediately contact a BenQ service center for assistance.
For new Joybooks, you should charge the battery for a minimum of 8 to 12 hours.
My computer won't start up with the battery inserted?
• Make sure the battery is properly inserted.
General
• Make sure that the battery is fully charged. If this does not work, consult your
BenQ dealer.
What is Joybook? What are the differences between Joybooks and traditional
notebooks?
What should be the run time of a battery?
BenQ call it Joybook, because BenQ has combined entertainment and stylish
design with traditional notebook's functions. For example, enhanced 3D process-
ing power for gaming and movie viewing. With Joybook, you will be able to enjoy
the most exciting audio and visual experience ever!
Run time will vary on individual Joybooks, based on the application programs
being used (i.e. high graphics, games), the number of times data is saved or
retrieved from the hard drive and/or optical drive, the memory of notebook, and
chemistry and capacity of the battery. A “realistic” average run-time for a battery
is 1.5 to 3 hours. Again run time will vary on applications being used and individ-
ual notebooks.
What is a Wireless LAN (WLAN)?
A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio
waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data among nodes. It is a
flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an
alternative for, a wired LAN within a building or campus.
What should I do with the battery if I will not use my Joybook for a longtime?
Recharge the battery or discharge it to about 40% full, and then store it in a dry
place at about 15°C to 25°C. Extremely high or low temperature will shorten the
life of battery.
What is IEEE 802.11b/g?
IEEE 802.11b is a technical specification issued by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) that defines the operation of 2.4 GHz, 11 Mbps/
54Mbps, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Wireless Local Area Networks
(WLANs).
When charging the battery, the power indicator on Joybook suggests that the bat-
tery is fully charged. When I check it from the Power Manager in Windows, the
battery level is only about 95%-99%. Why?
It is the result of the battery protection design of Joybook. When the power indi-
cator on Joybook is off, it means that the battery has reached a saturated voltage:
95%-99%. At this moment, the voltage difference detected by Joybook is very
small, so it will reduce the charging current to prevent overcharging the battery
with excess current or voltage, which will damage the battery. Moreover, in order
to protect the battery from exposing to high voltage and current for a long time
during charging, the battery has been equipped with a protection circuit that will
charge the battery at low current in the final phase.
What is Centrino technology? What are the advantages of notebook PC's using
the Centrino technology?
The Centrino technology enhances the performance of notebook PC's at low
power consumption by optimizing the integrated design of the entire computing
system and the application environment. The major components of Centrino
technology include Pentium-M CPU, Intel 855 chipset and Intel Pro/Wireless
2100 Mini-PCI network interface card. Therefore, if a notebook PC does not use
all of these components, we cannot say it uses the Centrino technology.
How come my notebook is not fully charged even after a full night charge?
Make sure that the Joybook is receiving power. Is the cord plugged in correctly?.
When the battery is installed in the computer and it is properly plugged in to an
AC outlet, check to see if the battery level icon is showing a charge sign. If this
does not fix the problem, the battery, the power source in the notebook, or the AC

power cord may be defective. Consult your BenQ dealer for help and mainte-
nance.
Several factors can affect connection speed, such as line noise, number of people
connecting/connected to your ISP, and the age and condition of the telephone
lines. A 56K modem does not guarantee all connections at 56K; rather it offers the
ability to connect at up to 56K speed.
What should I do if the battery gets hot in my Joybook?
Take the battery out and let it cool down. If the problem persists once it is inserted
back into the Joybook, the battery could be defective and it may need to be
replaced.
Can't connect to the Internet with the built-in network interface on Joybook?
Check if the network has a fixed MAC address. Contact your network administra-
tor for further solutions.
How to prolong the life of the battery?
Joybook is unable to use the infrared port to communicate with other devices.
• Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery.
Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for the battery than
one deep one.
Please confirm the following:
• Communication speeds for Joybook and the external device are identical.
• Although memory-free, apply a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges
to calibrate batteries with fuel gauge. Running down the battery in the equip-
ment does this. If ignored, the battery level icon will become increasingly less
accurate. The battery life will not be affected.
• The infrared port is clean, and there are no objects blocking the path between
Joybook and the external device.
• The distance and angle between Joybook and device do not exceed the effective
range of the port.
• Keep the battery cool. Avoid placing it in a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep
the battery at a 40% recharge level.
• You are not attempting to establish the link under conditions of direct sunlight.
• There are no incompatibilities between the communications software that is
attempting to establish the infrared link and any other communications soft-
ware on the computer. For further information, please consult the manual for
the particular software.
• Consider removing the battery from the Joybook when running on AC power.
Joybook will not start up, even though the power button was pressed.
Check the power indicator.
When connecting to a local network with Joybook, the connection is unstable.
The instructions below will guide you through the troubleshooting process.
1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties, Hardware, Device Manager.
• If it is not lit up, Joybook is not being supplied by power-either from an external
power source via the AC adapter or from the battery. Make sure that the AC
adapter is correctly inserted into the power jack of Joybook and a working elec-
trical socket, and allow the battery to begin charging.
• If the power indicator is lit up in blue, the Joybook is being supplied normally
with power, meaning that the problem lies elsewhere.
2. Double click Network adapters. When the name of the network adapter of Joy-
book appears, double-click on it.
• If you have added any hardware (memory for example), check if it has
been installed correctly.
3. The Properties window will pop up. Click the Advanced tab, and then click the
Link speed & duplex item on the left.
• It is possible that certain operating system files are damaged or missing.
If so, you may need to first back up all your data and then use the restore
CD that came with the Joybook to return the its software to original
state. Please note however that doing so will cause all of your personal
data on the hard disk drive to be lost!
4. Select the appropriate mode according to the settings of your LAN service from
the Value drop-down menu on the right, and then click OK.
• If the situation persists, use the Fn+F12 function key combination to shut down
wireless network function to reduce interference of different network connec-
tion modes.

• Use the Fn+F3 function key combination to set external video signal enabled.
• Refer to the user's manual of the external monitor to check the settings.
Furthermore, when you partition a hard drive, the system will reserve some space
on the drive for system files. Therefore, the total capacity of a hard drive displayed
by the OS will never be the same as its nominated capacity.
• Connect the cable to the Joybook and reboot the system. If there is no display on
the external monitor after system reboot, connect Joybook to a standard VGA
monitor and wait until you can see things properly on that VGA monitor. Then
connect the target display to Joybook again.
I hear noise when connecting an earphone to Joybook.
The instructions below will guide you through the troubleshooting process.
• Check if you have connected devices to both the S-Video and VGA output on the
Joybook. If yes, disconnect the device connected to the S-Video output on the
Joybook to enable normal signal output from the VGA output. In general, if you
have connected devices to both S-Video and VGA output on the Joybook, the S-
Video output will be selected in first priority.
• Connect the earphone to other devices, such as a radio to see if you can still hear
that noise. If the noise persists, the earphone may be out of order.
• If you can hear the noise only when inserting, it is the result of high instanta-
neous current. It is a normal phenomenon.
How can I judge if my LCD panel is out of order and what should I do if it hap-

How can I reduce the wearing of the screen spindle when I open the screen?
We suggest that you open and close your screen gently and slowly with both
hands. Apply force evenly on both hands to reduce spindle wearing and prevent
deformation or breaking of spindle due to uneven force application.
