of the hardware, pre-installed software or operating system
installed at time of production. If you have specific problems,
you may need to contact the computer manufacturer to inquire
about BIOS, hardware driver or operating system updates.
❖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 Mobile LCD Monitor utilizes an advanced
video graphics controller to display the video. 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 Mobile LCD monitor. Move the video
playback from the Mobile LCD monitor to your computer
display for optimal video performance when viewing DVDs.

the Mobile LCD monitor. Use your computer's built-in monitor
to view DVDs.
