Sleep Utilities
With certain external devices, the USB Sleep and Charge
function may not work no matter which charging mode
you select. In those cases, disable USB Sleep and
Charge in the utility and turn the computer on to charge
the device, or use a different charging device.
Sleep and Music
Your Toshiba computer may be equipped with the “Sleep
and Music” feature that allows you to listen to music stored
on a portable audio device using the speakers of your
computer, even when the computer is powered OFF. Power
OFF includes Sleep Mode, Hibernation Mode, or shutdown
state.
When the Sleep and Music feature is enabled, it is possible
to play music from the computer’s speakers by connecting
an audio cable to the
Microphone/Line-in jack. Using
this feature discharges the computer’s battery; therefore, it is
recommended that the computer be connected to an
external power source via the AC Adaptor.
The volume settings and sound quality may differ between
Windows
®
mode and “Sleep and Music” mode. When using
the “Sleep and Music” feature, the volume adjustment and
mute setting cannot be changed from the computer. To
adjust these settings, use the volume controls on your
portable audio device. Be sure to turn down the volume of
the portable audio device before connecting it to the
computer.
This feature applies only to the computer’s speakers. The
headphone jack and mute function on the computer are
disabled when using “Sleep and Music.”
