INTRODUCTION

The Toshiba

TDP-B1™ is specifically designed for the mobile presenter. It packs XGA 1024x768 graphics with 16.7 million colors into a small, 4.8 pound package. It generates crisp, clear images using Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) technology. The TDP-B1 is easy to connect, easy to use, easy to transport, and easy to maintain.

Image Resolution

The XGA resolution of the TDP-B1’s projected image is 1024x768. The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector

Compatibility

The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and video devices, including:

•

IBM-compatible computers, including portable computers, up to 1024x768 resolution.

NOTE: The TDP-B1 automatically

expands 640x480 and 800x600

images to 1024x768. You can dis-

play these images at their native

resolutions by turning off the Auto

Resize feature. See “Auto Resize”

on page 21 for more information.

•

Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024x768 resolution.

•

Most standard VCRs, DVD players, camcorders and laser disc players.

Usage Guidelines

•

Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.

•

Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.

•

Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.

•

Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.

•

Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Refer to your Toshiba dealer or

projectors.toshiba.com

for more

information.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

Place the projector on a flat surface.

•

The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.

•

If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 24 to reverse the image.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

•

The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image. Figure 3 shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on page 44.

NOTE: Many portable computers

do not automatically turn on their

external video port when a sec-

ondary display device such as a

projector is connected. Refer to

your computer manual for the

command that activates the exter-

nal video port. Activation com-

mands for some portable

computers are listed in the Appen-

dix of this manual on page 38 or

visit support.toshiba.com for

more information.

Plug the other end of the audio cable into the connector

on the projector.

NOTE: If you are connecting an

older Macintosh computer that

does not have a 15-pin connector,

you must use a Mac adaptor

between the computer and the

projector. See “Optional Accesso-

ries” on page 37.

Setting up the Projector

Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote or keypad? If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable.

Plug the end of the PS/2 mouse cable with 6 pins into the

mouse connector on your computer.

Plug the end of the PS/2 mouse cable with 9 pins into the

connector on the projector.

If your computer has a USB connector and is running Windows 98, use the USB mouse cable.

Plug the end of the USB mouse cable into the

mouse connector on your computer.

Plug the end of the USB mouse cable into the connector

on the projector.

You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the appropriate drivers.

NOTE: You do not need to restart

your computer after connecting a

USB mouse to use it (it is hot-

pluggable). You must restart your

computer after plugging in a PS-2

mouse.

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your computer. Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on page 11.

Connecting a Video Player

If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video

connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and composite video cable that shipped with the projector.

•

If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio cable and audio adapter. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 37.)

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the

“video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 6). This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”

•

If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video out” connector on the video player (Figure 7).

Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-

nector

If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into the “S-video” connector

Plug the audio cable into the “audio in” connector on the

projector.

The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, and SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video. See “Video Standard” on page 23 for details.

CAUTION: Your video player

may also have a “Video Out”

connector for a coaxial cable

connection. DO NOT use this to

connect to the projector.

Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image

Remove the lens cap.

Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it

into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.

•

The fans start to run, and the Lamp LED on the top of the projector (Figure 11 on page 16) lights orange until the software has initialized. When initialization is complete, the Lamp LED lights green. A green Lamp LED indicates that you can press the

lamp on/off

button to turn the lamp on

and off.

NOTE: Always use the power cord

that shipped with the projector.

Turn on the lamp by pressing the

lamp on/off

button on

the keypad (see Figure 11 on page 16).

•

The startup screen appears.

If you connected a video player, turn it on.

Setting up the Projector

Turning Off the Projector

If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, press the

standby

button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby Time” on page 23 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit standby mode, press the

standby

button again. (It may take several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project the image again.)

To completely power off the projector, unplug it. If you want to

turn the lamp back on immediately, you must allow about a minute for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.

USING THE PROJECTOR

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.

Basic Image Adjustment

Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right

order (page 11).

If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image

(page 15), adjust the height of the projector (page 15) or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 22). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.

If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 15).

If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical

bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 21) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image off and adjust the sync (page 21) and/or the tracking (page 22) manually.

If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 19).

Using the Remote Control

The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons, a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote and one on the bottom.

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the projector.

NOTE: To control the computer’s

mouse from the projector’s remote

or keypad, you must connect a

mouse cable to the projector and

the computer. See page 8 for

details.
