2.3 Installing the TD61
The TD61 is meant to be installed on a wall or on an optional stand. It is not designed to sit on its own.
Introduction
The TD61 can be attached to a wall or to an
optional stand. Hardware for mounting is provided in
the accessory kit. Included in the accessory kit are
two mounting bars. The larger of the two is the main
wall mounting bracket. The smaller one is used as a
spacer to keep the TD61 vertical when mounted on a
wall or attached to a stand.
Mounting on a wall
The TD61 weighs about 106 pounds (48.08kg).
The mounting method that you use must be able to
support five times this weight (530lbs., 240.4kg).
Make sure that the wall can support it. Dry wall may
not be sufficient to handle the weight.
The illustration on the right shows the wall
mounting bracket installed on a wall. The wall
mounting bracket is firmly attached to the studs in
the wall. To prevent the wall mounting bracket from
bending, due to the weight of the TD61, there must
be bolts placed within 7.5 inches from each end.
The inset on the illustration highlights a pin on
the main wall mounting bracket that mates with a
hole in the slot on the back of the TD61.

CAUTION
Do not lay the TD61 on its face or on its back.
It must be kept upright at all times.
Mounting TD61 on a wall.
1. Install wall mounting bracket bar on wall. Make
sure the wall mounting bracket is straight and
level. If the wall is uneven, use shims to insure
the wall mounting bracket is straight. Be sure to
attach to studs in the wall.
2. Hang the TD61 on the wall mounting bracket bar.
Make sure the holes in the TD61 wall mounting
bracket slot mate with the pins on the hangar bar.

Installing the Lower Retaining Bracket
The lower retaining bracket is not designed to hold the
weight of the display. Its function is to hold the bottom
of the display securely to the mounting surface and to
allow adjustment of the display to insure perpendicularity.
• Attach the lower retaining bracket to the bottom of
the display with the side of the angled bracket with
the 4 slotted holes against the bottom of the display
and the other side between the display and the
mounting surface.
• Mark on the mounting surface to locate the bottom
and ends of the retaining bracket. Remove the
retaining bracket from the display.
• Remove the display from the mounting bracket.
• Install the Lower retaining Bracket to the mounting
surface with appropriate hardware and slots. Locate
the bracket on the mounting surface using the
locating marks made when it was on the display.
• Hang the display on the mounting bracket.
• Secure the display to the lower retaining bracket,
leave the screws a little loose to allow for adjustment. Use the hardware provided.
• Do not push or pull the display to align it with the
slotted holes in the lower retaining bracket. If the
holes do not align, remove the retaining bracket and
repeat the steps to locate the bracket on the mounting surface.
• Use a level or plumb bob to determine perpendicularity. Move the bottom of the display either in or
out till the display hangs perfectly straight. Tighten
the screws on the lower retaining bracket.

2.4 Connecting Source Cables
All of the TD61 signal inputs are on input modules housed in an electronic cage assembly accessible
from the left side of the
Analog and Digital Connectors
There is one analog 15-pin VGA type connector
and one standard M1 connector as data inputs to the
TD61. The M1 connector also doubles as a second
analog connector when used with a VGA to
M1adapter.
The TD61 will accept a wide range of computer
resolutions up to UXGA (1600x1200). These connectors are also used for RGB video with separate H&V
sync, composite sync, or sync on green and HDTV.
Video Connections
The TD61 has three video inputs: Composite
video on a yellow RCA connector, S-Video on a 4-pin
DIN connector and Component video on red (Pr),
green (Y) and blue (Pb) RCA connectors.
All three are compatible with NTSC, PAL and
SECAM.
Audio Connections
There are three stereo audio inputs using RCA
connectors. There is one stereo audio (line out) output using RCA connectors and one pair of switchable
3.5mm monaural audio connectors for external
speakers. When external speakers are used the internal speakers are switched off.
TD61.
Control Connections
There is one RS232 input and one RS485 input for
controlling the TD61. There is one RS485 loop
through output that is used as the loop through for
both RS232 and RS485.

With serial control, you can control one TD61 or several TD61s at the same time.
Connect to the computer
Connect the TD61 to the serial out port of a computer or another type of controller, such as a video
controller. Connect with twisted pair computer serial
cable, such as Cat-5, using straight-thru cable.
An RJ45-DB9 adapter is included in the accessory
kit. If you lose or need extras, you can convert the 9pin serial port to RJ45 with an adapter, which you can
buy in most electronic stores.
Wiring the adapter
To go from 9-pin D-sub serial connector on the back of
the ccomputer to an RJ45 connector, use a standard
RJ45-to-9-pin adapter. Wire it internally as shown. The
wiring shown for this adapter is correct for
cables. Straight-thru cables are wired 1-to-1, 2-to-2, etc
.

3.1 Aligning the Image
Aligning the image will probably not be necessary. However should there a be a slight misalignment, it
is important that you do this before you use the Position controls. Adjust the image so that it covers the
entire screen.
What is effective resolution?
The TD61 is the thinnest rear projection DLP
product available. This thin technology comes with
some trade-offs. The ultra wide-angle lens that allows
it to be so thin causes the image to be distorted and
undisplayable at the edges. As a result, the native
1280x720 engine resolution is not viewable on the
screen. The effective resolution of the display (i.e. the
number of pixels visible on the screen) is about
1232x693 pixels, but may vary slightly from unit to
unit. Because the position of internal mirrors and
lenses may shift very slightly during shipment of your
TD61, the effective resolution window may also
shift. The Image Alignment menu allows adjustment
of the effective resolution in order to compensate for
any minor variations that may occur after factory
alignment.
Aligning the Image
1. Turn on the AC power to the display. On first
turn on, the lamp will power up automatically.
(You may choose later to turn off the “auto lamp
on” in the menu. See “Advanced Options: Lamp
Settings” on page 77).

Bowing
Because the screen is so large, there is a certain
degree of flexibility in the screen that can cause
bowing at the top of the image.
There are three screws in the top of the screen
that are adjustable. When loosened, they allow the
screen to moved out or in to compensate for the
bowing.
The images at the right show the location of
these screws.
1. Loosen the three screws at the top of the screen.
2. Grip the edge of the screen at the top and:
•If the image is bowed down, pull the top of
the screen forward.
•If the image is bowed up, push the top of the
screen back.
3. Tighten the screws.

3.2 Adjusting TD61 To Its Source
The source picture—from computer, video, DVD—is variable and does not always conform exactly to a
standard.
TD61 has a way to compensate for this.
Connections
The TD61 has 3 computer sources: analog 1, analog 2 and digital. Analog 2 and digital sources share a
connector. This is an M1 connector. Because they
share a connector, they also share a chip for EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data). EDID is what
tells a computer the type of monitor it is attached to.
It is the mechanism that allows Plug and Play monitors to work.
Most of the time, Plug and Play will work just fine
but every once in a while, EDID can get in the way of
smooth operation. TD61 has 2 user controls that
deal with EDID. Plug and Play Enable turns on EDID
for both analog 1 and analog 2/digital. Unchecking
this box causes the host computer to ignore it. The
other user control allows the user to choose whether
the EDID information on the M1 connector is for an
analog monitor or a digital monitor. Most digital
graphics cards will not output anything if they think
they are connected to an analog monitor. The choice
defaults to digital but should be set by the user to
match which input they are using on that connector.
Input levels
Computer signals vary quite a bit from computer to
computer. They even vary between video outputs on
the same video card. Video sources vary more.
To make the TD61 respond correctly to these nonstandard sources we adjust Input Levels.
• Input Levels for computer sources, analog,
page 30
• Input Levels for video sources, page 32
What does Input Level do?
For analog computer sources adjusting to the computer’s picture output means finding what that computer means by black and white.
Black is supposed to be a voltage a zero coming
from the computer’s video card, but it almost never
is. White is supposed to be a voltage of 0.7 volts, but
it usually isn’t either.
The Input Level adjustment process asks you to
provide a picture from the computer that is black,
then one that is pure white. With these, you can
quickly and automatically make the display “learn”
what this computer means by black and white.
The result? Good pictures, using all the dynamic
range of color coming from the computer.
For Input Levels, you must use black and white coming
from the computer you will use for the program. You
don’t make this adjustment with your work laptop and
then switch to another computer for the display’s
program of pictures.
What does Color Balance do?
Color balancing matches the colors between several TD61’s.
Displays differ from one another because of very
small differences in the color of the light produced by
the lamp and by differences in the dyes used to make
the color in a DLP™ optical engine.
In color balancing you use the display’s internal
test patterns of white, then gray. The internal pattern
assures that a pure white is used.
How does Input Level relate to Color Balance
If you have more than one TD61 in the area and
you want them to display identical colors, you need
to adjust input levels and do color balancing.
You can do Input Levels first, or you can do Color
Balance first. It doesn’t matter. But they must both be
done.
Input Levels and Color Balance do not affect each
other, but they both affect the final picture.
