INTRODUCTION
The Toshiba TDP-P3 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, and features
an M1-DA connector for easy, built-in digital/analog and USB
connectivity. The TDP-P3 is easy to connect, easy to use, easy to
transport, and easy to maintain.
Image Resolution
The XGA resolution of the TDP-P3’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.
•
Apple® Macintosh® and PowerBook® computers up to
1024x768 resolution.
•
Most standard VCRs, DVD players, HDTV sources, camcorders and laser disc players.
Unpacking the Projector
NOTE: The TDP-P3 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 “Resize” on
page 21 for more information.
NOTE: The projector is compati-
ble with 1080i HDTV format.
The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to
make sure all are included.

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
information.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
Place the projector on a flat surface.
1
•
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.
2
•
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

Connecting a Video Player
If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video
1
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 the S-video cable in addition to the
audio cable and audio adapter.
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the
2
“video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 7). 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 8).

connect to the projector.
10
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and
SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for
the incoming video. The input signal for SECAM video is similar
to other video signals and cannot be automatically detected,
therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. See “Video Standard” on page 24 for details.
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 12 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.
Turn on the lamp by pressing the

NOTE: Always use the power cord
that shipped with the projector.
NOTE: The first time you connect
your computer to the projector, the
computer may display a message
stating that new hardware was
found. The Add New Hardware
Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz-
ard to load the correct driver (the
computer considers the projector a

NOTE: With some computers,
the order in which you power up
the equipment is very important.
Most computers should be turned
on last, after all other peripherals
have been turned on. Refer to your
computer’s documentation to
determine the correct order.

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 24 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

before unplugging the projector.
The Lamp LED will light green
when the lamp has cooled. See
page 16 for details on the Lamp
LED.

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
1
order (page 11).
If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image
2
(page 15), adjust the height of the projector (page 15) or center
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position
(page 23). 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).
3
If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical
4
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 22) and/or the tracking
(page 22) manually.
If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 19).
5
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 the
mouse connector on the computer
cable to the computer. See page 8
for details.
13
Using the Projector

(on underside of remote)
disk mouse
right mouse button
NOTE: If the remote is inactive
for several minutes, it “sleeps” to
conserve battery life. Press any
button except the disk mouse to
re-activate the remote.
FIGURE 9
Remote control
Press anywhere on the edge of the disk mouse to move the cursor
on the screen. You can move the cursor at any angle by pressing
the corresponding edge of the disk. The mouse button on the top
of the remote simulates your computer’s right mouse button; the
button on the bottom simulates your computer’s left mouse button. See “Using the Keypad and Remote Buttons” starting on
page 16 for a description of the four function buttons.
®
If you are creating presentations in Microsoft
PowerPoint®, you
can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your
presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint
for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab,
de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the
Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in PowerPoint’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide
and a right click returns to the previous slide (other PowerPoint
modes are not affected).
