Precautions

The Fn + F5 functionality detailed in the electronic User’s Guide for your

TOSHIBA computer only controls the internal video controller of your

computer.

The TOSHIBA dynadock utilizes an advanced video graphics controller to

display the video on the external monitor connected to it. However, due to

USB 2.0 transfer speed limitations, some or all portions of DVD playback

may appear slow or choppy. This is not a malfunction of the dynadock.

Move the video playback from the external monitor to your computer

display for optimal video performance when viewing DVDs.

EN-6 User’s Manual

dynadock™

The playback of DVD is not supported in the mirror mode.

The 3D screensavers (3D FlowerBox and so on) do not work in either

mirror or extended mode.

This product does not support 3D programs.

Unable to enter full screen DOS mode in the mirror mode.

Google Earth does not work in the mirror mode.

The video driver passes 24-bit data to the device if you have selected 32-bit

color quality. This is for more efficient data transfer.

When recording audio, it is recommended that you manually configure the

microphone volume settings.

Precautions for Windows Vista™ only

The dynadock only supports the mirror mode for display.

When the dynadock is connected, the screens of your computer and

external device will become BASIC mode automatically. The screen of your

computer will return to AERO mode automatically when the dynadock is

disconnected.

The games in OpenGL such as Quake3 will not be supported in the mirror

mode. If you want to play these kinds of games, we suggest you disconnect

the dynadock.

USB, CPU resources and other devices may be affected when playing

movies or transferring large amounts of data via the dynadock

.

The external monitor will not turn off automatically by the operating system

power management.

The sound may be distorted or delayed when you play MIDI/MPG files. If

it’s a MIDI file, please try to change your media player visualization

settings. If it’s a MPG file, we suggest you play it without connecting the

dynadock.

User’s Manual EN-7

Introduction

The Toshiba dynadock with Video utilizes a single USB port to extend your

computer to your desktop environment with one easy connection, enabling

you to connect all of your peripherals, including six USB devices, Ethernet

network, serial device, headphones, speakers and microphone plus an

external monitor and digital audio equipment. It’s ideal for the computers

having extra connectivity demands.

The upright slim design of the dynadock saves your desktop space while

the two USB ports on the front panel give you easy accessibility. The

dynadock is hot swappable; you can add or remove any device without

rebooting the computer. With all these features, the dynadock is a perfect

accessory whether you are at home or at the office.

With the video port, your computer can be connected to an external

monitor, LCD or projector at native display resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200

pixels (DVI version only). The connected monitor can be configured to

either mirror your primary screen or extend (in Windows XP only) the

Windows

®

desktop allowing visibility of more applications at the same time.

No more stacking windows within the confines of a single display.

An additional feature is the S/PDIF digital audio output. It directly outputs

the digital sound source from the computer to your home audio receiver

without the loss of high quality sound. If you are using 2 channel speakers

or headphones via the conventional audio port, you can still enjoy the 7.1

surround sound, which is achieved by the virtual multi-channel audio

function.

Features

■ Single USB plug connecting to your computer

■ Upright slim design saves desktop space

■ Easily accessible ports located on the front

■ Supports notebook-quality video on external monitor

■ VGA resolution up to SXGA (1280 x 1024), 16/32-bit color

■ Virtual 7.1 channel surround sound

■ All video and audio drivers included

NOTE: The dynadock is available in two video support versions, either a

VGA video port or a DVI video port. This user manual contains information

for both versions of the dynadock. Please pay attention to and follow the

instructions for the version you have.
