Using external display devices
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. (This may need to be installed via the TOSHIBA
Application Installer). For instructions, see “TOSHIBA Application
Installer” on page 148. The HDMI™-CEC utility is dedicated to take
advantage of its capabilities which can allow you to:
❖ Use a TV remote control to output the computer screen onto
the TV screen.
❖ Use a TV remote control to launch, operate and close
applications on your computer.
❖ Turn on a 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.

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.
4 Turn on the external device.
Your computer will automatically detect the external display
device.
In the future you can change the display settings by pressing
Fn + F5, or by configuring the display properties settings.
