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

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

 key.

❖

Switch the video output (HDMI or LCD) when executing 
certain desktop icons.
