INTRODUCTION

®

The Toshiba

TDP-S1™ lightweight multimedia projector is spe­cifically designed for the mobile presenter. It generates crisp,
clear SVGA 800x600 images using Digital Light Processing™
(DLP) technology. The projector is easy to connect, easy to use,
and easy to maintain. The soft carry case makes it easy to trans­port the 7.4 pound projector.

Image Resolution

The SVGA resolution of the TDP-S1’s projected image is 800x600.
Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are com­pressed to 800x600. 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 at 75 Hz

•

Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024x768
resolution at 75 Hz.

•

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

Introduction

Usage Guidelines

•

Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector
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.

•

This projector is not intended for use in mainframe computer
rooms as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Elec­tronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

•

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.

1

•

The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power
source and within 8 feet (2.4 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.

•

If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the

Ceiling Mount Installation Guide

that comes with the Ceiling
Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside
down, see “Ceiling Projection” on page 23. The Ceiling
Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 38.

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 4 shows three projected image sizes. For information
about image sizes at minimum and maximum zoom set­tings, see “Projected Image Size” on page 45.

Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.

Setting up the Projector

Connecting a Video Player

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

cable.

Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out”

2

port on your video player (Figure 7). This port 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).

Plug the other yellow connector into the composite connector

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. The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, and
PAL-N video are similar to other video signals and cannot be
automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen manually.
See “Video Standard” on page 23 for details.

Setting up the Projector

Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image

Remove the lens cap.

1

NOTE: Always use the power cord

that shipped with the projector.

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

recommended.

Turn on the projector by pressing the “I” side of the power

3

switch (see Figure 2 on page 3).

•

The startup screen displays and the Power LED on top of
the projector lights up (Figure 11 on page 15).

If you connected a video player, turn it on.

buttons to adjust the volume.

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.

•

The computer image should display on the projection
screen. (If a video source is active, press the

source

button
on the keypad (page 15) to display your computer’s image.)
Make sure your computer ’s external video port is activated;
see “Portable and Computer Activation Chart” on page 39
for details.

•

If necessary, make adjustments to the image from the pro­jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the

button on the keypad, then select the Display or

menu

Image sub-menu. For more information about the menus,
see page 17.

10

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. 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, press the “O” side of the
power switch on the side of the projector. If you want to turn the
projector back on immediately, you must allow about a minute
for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.

CAUTION: When you discon-

nect the projector after you have

switched it off, always remove the

power cord from the electrical out-

let first, then remove it from the

projector.

11

USING THE PROJECTOR

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad 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 10).

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

2

(page 14), adjust the height of the projector (page 14) 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 14).

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 21) and/or the tracking
(page 22) manually.

If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 18).
