Getting Started Using external display devices 71 NOTE In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5, or by configuring the display properties settings. Connecting to a TV using HDMI™-CEC (Available on certain models) HDMI™-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a standard in the CE Industry which allows devices to work together over an HDMI cable. Toshiba computers with HDMI-CEC include a Toshiba utility (that may need to be installed) dedicated to take advantage of its capabilities which can allow you to: ❖ Use the TV remote control to output the computer screen onto the TV screen. ❖ Use the TV remote control to launch, operate and close applications on your computer. ❖ Turn on the TV when the HDMI output is selected using the Fn+F5 key. ❖ Switch the video output (HDMI or LCD) when executing certain desktop icons. ❖ Enable/Disable the HDMI-CEC function on the computer. For more detailed HDMI-CEC information visit pcsupport.toshiba.com. Directing the display output when you turn on the computer Once you have connected an external display device, you can choose to use the internal display only, the external device only, or both simultaneously. NOTE Some modes are only available with the appropriate device attached and turned on. The quickest way to change the display output settings is to use the display hot key (Fn + F5): 1 While holding down Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the setting you want takes effect. Briefly pause each time you press the F5 key to allow time for the display to change.
