80 Getting Started Using external display devices Refer to the manual that came with the television for more information. Your computer will automatically detect the external display device and activate a screen with display options. 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 via the Toshiba Application Installer). To access the TOSHIBA Application Installer, see page 155. The HDMI-CEC utility is 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. Connecting an external monitor or projector You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your computer if you need a larger screen. To do this: 1 Read the directions that came with the monitor to see if you first need to install new software. 2 Connect the monitor's video cable to the RGB (monitor) port on the side of the computer. 3 Connect the device's power cable to a live electrical outlet.
