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.

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.  
USB, CPU resources and other devices may be affected when playing  
movies or transferring large amounts of data via the dynadock.  
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.

Introduction  
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.  
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

dynadock™  
Although the ports and video drivers are different, the connection and setup  
is the same.  
Connect the monitor cable (not provided) to the video output port on the  
dynadock and the external monitor. This cable can be connected and  
disconnected any time without disconnecting the dynadock from the USB  
port on your computer.  
NOTE: The dynadock should be connected to a USB 2.0 port for optimal  
video performance. The dynadock will work connected to a USB1.1 port,  
however video performance will be compromised. The USB connector may  
be plugged and unplugged while the dynadock is on.  
You can adjust video settings to customize your use of the dynadock with  
video. See Adjusting Video Settings for more information.  
If the video output of the dynadock does not work once the dynadock is  
properly connected to an external monitor, the video (USB-VGA or  
USB-DVI) driver has probably not been installed correctly. Please make  
sure the driver is installed correctly by referring to the Installing the Drivers  
section.  
Viewable screens  
The dynadock video drivers give you the option of viewing a total of three  
screens.  
1. The screen on the notebook,  
2. External monitor connected to the video port on the notebook  
(if available)  
3. External monitor connected to the dynadock  
NOTE: The external monitor connected to the dynadock may be identified  
as either “2” or “3” on the Windows Display Properties screen (depending  
on your model) although there may not be a total of 3 screens connected.  
Video Modes  
The dynadock video output works in two modes:  
Mirror Mode  
Extended Mode  
Mirror Mode  
This mode “mirrors”–creates an identical display – from your computer  
screen to the external monitor. This is useful, for example, if you want to  
use a larger desktop monitor rather than the computer screen. In Mirror  
Mode, the dynadock automatically selects the settings (screen resolution,  
color quality and refresh rate) for the external monitor that will allow the  
best resolution based on your computer’s settings.  
By default, the dynadock uses video output in Mirror Mode.

Extended Mode  
Extended Mode lets you split your display across multiple monitors. This  
provides a number of advantages to increase productivity:  
View your large spreadsheets across two or three screens with display  
continuity.  
Multitask more effectively without overlapping windows  
Compare two documents simultaneously across two/three screens  
View videos/TV on one screen and reviews on the other

Adjusting Video Settings  
There are three components that make up the screen mode:  
Resolution: In common usage, this refers to the number of pixels  
displayed on the screen horizontally and vertically.  
Color Depth: This defines the number of different colors that can be shown  
on the screen at the same time.  
Refresh rate: Measures the speed that the entire screen is rescanned.  
Higher frequencies reduce flicker.  
Below is a list of refresh rates supported at various resolutions and color  
depths for the VGA and DVI component:

The DVI component additionally supports:  
Resolution/  
1600x1200  
Color Depth  
16 bit  
60  
80  
32 bit  
Note that interlaced modes are not supported.  
Additional modes may be offered, depending upon the connected monitor,  
but these are not currently guaranteed.  
If the monitor does not advertise the supported modes, the VGA or DVI  
component will choose a set of common screen modes.  
If cloning the primary display, the VGA or DVI component will try to use the  
preferred monitor mode. In some cases, this may not be the most  
appropriate mode for the mirrored desktop. It is recommended that the  
primary display resolution be changed to closer match the default  
resolution of the dynadock monitor.  
NOTE: For more information on supported modes, be sure to check the  
documentation supplied with your monitor.  
Initial Use  
When the VGA or DVI component first starts, it will mirror the primary  
monitor. Changes to the screen mode and VGA or DVI component  
operation mode can be made under the Windows display properties.  
If no output is seen on the monitor connected to the VGA or DVI component,  
it may be in a mode which cannot be displayed by the monitor. This can  
happen if the monitor does not report its supported modes to the VGA or DVI  
component. Reduce the resolution of the primary display, and in turn the  
resolution of the VGA or DVI component display until an image is shown.  
NOTE: Placing the monitor into an unsupported mode for long periods can  
damage it.

If you use multiple dynadocks with a single computer – for example, one at  
work and one at home – the video settings for each dynadock are saved  
when you disconnect the computer. This enables you to have your  
dynadock at work set up for the Extended Mode while your dynadock at  
home is configured for Mirror Mode, and those settings will be retained  
each time you use the dynadock with your computer.  
How Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode Affects  
Devices Attached to the dynadock™  
External Monitors  
The external monitor connected to the dynadock will go blank if the  
computer goes into Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode.  
When in Mirror Mode, the external monitor keeps the same settings it had  
before the computer went into Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode once the  
computer returns to an active state  
When in Extended Mode, windows that were previously on the external  
monitor will not move back to that secondary monitor once the computer  
returns to an active state  
Also, if the external monitor is in Extended Mode and the computer requires  
a login after Standby or Hibernate Mode, the login screen appears on the  
primary computer monitor, not the external monitor.  
Other Devices  
If another device is connected to a port on the dynadock and the computer  
goes into Standby/Sleep or Hibernate Mode, that device will not function.  
For example, if you are using the Ethernet port for high-speed network  
access, network access will not be available until the computer returns to  
an active state.
