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.
User’s Manual EN-5
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
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.

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.

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 is ideal for computers that
have many 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 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.
Introduction
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. For more information and software
upgrades please visit www.dynadock.com.
