Toshiba PA3542U-2PRP dynadock DVI User Manual - Page 7

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'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. 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.
