Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your projector can be installed in one of four possible installation locations:

1. Floor in front of screen (Standard);

2. Ceiling in front of screen (Ceiling);

3. Floor at rear of screen (Rear);

4. Ceiling at rear of screen (Rear Ceiling).
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into
consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as
the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

I. Floor in front of screen

Select this location with the projector placed
near the floor in front of the screen. This is the
most common way to position the projector for
quick setup and portability.

III. Floor at rear of screen

Select this location with the projector placed
near the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is
required.
Select Rear in the Setup > Projection Mode
menu after you turn the projector on.

II. Ceiling in front of screen

Select this location with the projector suspended
from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Select Ceiling in the Setup > Projection Mode
menu after you turn the projector on.

IV. Ceiling at rear of screen

Select this location with the projector suspended
from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and
the Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required
for this installation location.
Select Rear Ceiling in the Setup > Projection

Mode menu after you turn the projector on.

WARNING

• Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the
unit. Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop
down, thus resulting in injury.

• If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting

the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized
knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an ac cident.

• If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anom­aly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

Positioning your projector

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

Factors that affect the projected image size including the distance from the projector lens to the
screen, the zoom setting, and the video format. Tables of dimensions for both 16:9 and 4:3 screen
ratios are provided below to help you determining the ideal location for your projector.

1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen (16:9 or 4:3).

2. Select your desired Screen Size from the applicable screen dimension table below (16:9 or 4:3
ratio, depending on your screen ratio). Install the projector at a distance from the screen
between the Min. and Max. Projection Distance values in the table.

3. Determine the preferred height of your projector.

For example, if you have a 16:9 screen that is 69.7 in. W x 39.4 in. H (177 cm W x 100 cm H), you
should place your projector within a range of 92.1 in. to 125.2 in. (234 cm to 318 cm) from the screen.

The ideal height of your projector lens center will be level with the bottom or top side of the
screen.

auto-adjustment function will readjust the values of Frequency and
Clock to provide the best image quality.
The current source information will display at the bottom right cornor of
the screen for 3 seconds.

The screen will be blank while the auto-adjustment is functioning.

Fine-tuning the image size and clarity

1. Use the zoom ring to adjust the projected
image to the size you need.

2. Then sharpen the image by rotating the
focus ring.

Optimizing the image

To optimize the image, use the remote control or on-screen menus. For the operation of on-screen
menus, please refer to .
The following steps are optional. You do not need to follow every step. It depends on the image

quality you desire.

Note

• Note that a lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.

• A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp
could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp
depends on conditions of use.)

• The DMDTM is made using extremely advanced technology, but there may be black spots (pixels
that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. Please note that these
are not malfunctions.

Care of the projector

To care for your projector, clean the lens and projector case on a regular basis, following the
instructions below.

Never remove any parts of the projector except the user-replaceable lamp. Contact your dealer if other
parts need replacing.

Cleaning the lens

WARNING

• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector dealership.
Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down,
thus resulting in injury.

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! Before cleaning the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power

cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.

1. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust (available from building hardware or
photographic suppliers).

2. If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a photographic lens brush or a clean, soft lens
cloth (moistened with lens cleaner, if necessary) to gently wipe the lens surface.

NEVER touch the lens with your bare hands or rub the lens with abrasive materials (products such as
paper towels can damage the lens coating). ALWAYS use a photographic lens brush or lens cleaning
cloth and solution.

NEVER attempt to clean the lens while the projector is on or while it is still hot from previous use.

Cleaning the projector case

CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! Before cleaning the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power

cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.

1. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

2. If the soiling is severe, dip the cloth in a neutral detergent diluted in water, wring well, and gently
wipe off the dirt, then finish up by wiping with a dry cloth.

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These products can damage the
case.

Storing the projector

If you need to store the projector for an extended time, follow these guidelines:

1. Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range
for the projector. Please refer to the Specifications page in this manual or consult your dealer.

2. Retract the adjuster feet.

3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.

4. Pack the projector in its original packing (preferred) or equivalent packing materials.

Transporting the projector

Ship the projector in its original packing (preferred) or equivalent packing materials. If you carry the
projector yourself, use a protective, non-abrasive carrying case.

About lamp

The product’s light source is a mercury lamp that lights at increased internal pressure. Be sure to fully
understand the following characteristics of the lamp and handle it with extreme care.

• The lamp may burst with a loud noise due to impact or deterioration, or fail to light at the expiration
of its life.

• How long it takes before the lamp bursts or the life expires may vary greatly by lamp. Some may
explode shortly after first use.

• Burst is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has elapsed.

• When the lamp bursts, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product or be released

outside from the openings for ventilation.

• When the lamp bursts, a slight amount of mercury gas enclosed in the lamp along with glass dust
may be released from the openings for ventilation.

Q Immediately replace the lamp when a sign appears on the screen.

• When the replacement time approaches, a message will appear on the screen.

• The risk of explosion will increase if the lamp is continuously used without being replaced.

• Frequently check the used hours and prepare spares when the replacement time approaches.
(Refer to “Lamp Time” on . )

Q When the lamp is broken

• If glass components, including a lamp and a lens, should break, handle the broken pieces with care
to avoid injury and contact your dealer for repair service.

• In the event of lamp burst, unplug the product from the wall outlet, leave and completely ventilate
the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the projector and discard any edible items
placed in that area.

• When the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercu r y gas gets into your eyes or you
breathe it.

p. 28

Replacing the lamp

CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! The lamp may be very hot after use. Before replacing the lamp,

turn off the projector, unplug the power cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least 45
minutes.

The lamp unit contains mercury. Disposal of mercury may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for your area. Contact your local
authorities or www.eiae.org.

A lamp is consumable supplies. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp
could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp
depends on condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.

WARNING

• If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is recommended to use your Toshiba dealership
when the lamp has to be exchanged.

• When replacing, always use lamp “TLPLMT70” (sold separately).

CAUTION

• If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause burn injuries.
Wait for the lamp to cool (for at least 45 minutes) before replacing it.

• If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces and con­tact your dealer for repair service.

1. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Turn off all connected devices and disconnect all
other cables.

2. Loosen the screws on the lamp cover.

The lamp door is on the side of the projector.

3. Remove the lamp cover.

4. Loosen the screws that hold the lamp to the projector. It is strongly
recommended that you use a magnetic-head screwdriver to prevent
the screws from dropping inside the projector.

5. Slowly pull the lamp straight out of the projector.

Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to break and scatter broken glass in
the projector. To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal
components, use caution when removing lamp glass that has shattered.

Do not place the lamp in locations where water might splash on it, where
children can reach it, near or above heat sources, or near flammable materials.

Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp is removed. Touching
the optical components inside the projector can cause color unevenness and distortion of the

projected images.

6. Insert a new lamp. Ma ke sure it is securely in place.

7. Tighten the screws securing the lamp box.

8. Reinstall the lamp cover.

9. Tighten the screws on the lamp cover.

Do not over-tighten the screws.
Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which could result in

malfunction.

10. Turn the power on. Open the Setup > Lamp > Reset Lamp
Timer menu to reset the lamp time.

Do not turn the power on with the lamp cover removed.
Whenever the lamp is replaced, reset the total lamp operation time.
Do not reset the lamp time if the lamp is not replaced, as this could cause damage.
