Setting Up the dynadock™ and Connecting Peripherals

Connecting your peripherals

When your computer is docked, the audio ports on the computer are
automatically disabled and the audio ports on the dynadock™ are
automatically enabled. In most cases, simply connect your audio
device to the appropriate port on the dynadock™ and the port is
ready to use. To do any one of the following, please see the
referenced section:

To use the computer’s audio ports (instead of the dynadock's
audio ports) when the computer is docked, please see

“Configuring audio ports” page 50

.

To enable virtual 7.1-channel sound on your connected audio
device, please see

“Enhancing sound quality” page 52

. This

will provide better sound quality over standard stereo output.

To use the dynadock’s S/PDIF jack, please see

“Enabling

digital S/PDIF output” page 55

.

If you switch between the computer's audio ports and the dynadock's
audio ports, you may have to restart your media player if it is
running.

Connecting USB devices

The dynadock™ provides six USB 2.0 ports: four on the back and
two on the front. To locate the USB ports on the dynadock™,
please see the

“Quick Tour” page 14

.

This section provides basic instructions for connecting most USB
devices to the dynadock™. Please check the documentation that
came with your USB device for any special instructions.

You do not need to turn off the dynadock™ or the docked computer
before connecting a USB device.

To connect a USB device to the dynadock™:

1

If your device came with its own AC adaptor, connect the AC
adaptor to the device and to a live electrical outlet.

2

Use a USB cable to connect the device to one of the USB ports
on the dynadock™.
