IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Save Original Packing Materials
The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship your LCD projector.For
maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at the factory.
Moisture Condensation
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.When the unit is exposed
to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the crucial internal parts. To prevent the unit from
possible damage, do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature.
Place and Manner of Installation
• Do not place the projector in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause
malfunction, and shorten the life of the LCD panel.
• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the LCD panel and other optical parts,
shortening their lives, and darkening the screen.
• Do not place slantwise in angle of 20° or more. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.
• Using this product near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio sound. If this happens,
move it away from the TV or radio.
• Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may cause condensation on the
lens or internal parts of the product. If you continue to use it in that situation, the malfunction may result.
Ensure to wait until the condensation naturally disappears.
• In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency of the projector is reduced. In this case, lower the
ambient temperature and use it.
Avoid Volatile Liquid
Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products
touching the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
If cleaning with a chemically saturated cloth, be sure to follow the product's precautions.
LCD Panel
The life of the LCD panel is limited. Take care over the points below so as to use the panel for years.
• To prolong the life of this panel, never fail to turn the power off when the panel is not in use and make sure that
the lamp has gone out. The state of the lamp being extinguished helps enhance the effect of energy saving.
• If the air filter is stained and is clogged up, the main unit inner temperature rises. As a result, the life of the
LCD is shortened and a malfunction may also occur.
Clean the air filter from time to time and replace it regularly. It is recommended that this replacement be done
at the time of replacing a lamp. (Ask a dealer where the unit was purchased or your nearby service station
about an air filter for replacement.)
In the spaces provided below, record the Model and Serial No. located at the bottom of your LCD projector.
Model No.
Serial No.

Preparations
Placing the projector
• Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit.
• 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 accident.
• If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, remove the tilt stand attached to this unit. Mounting the
projector with the tilt stand on the ceiling could cause it to fall, resulting in an accident.
• If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of emergency. Let
everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.
Determine the placement style.
As shown in the figures below, this unit can be placed in four different styles.
The factory setting is “Front” and “Standard.” Set “Projection mode 1” and “Projection mode 2” in the
“Default setting” menu (see
p.35) in accordance with your needs.
“Front” “Standard”
“Rear” “Standard”
“Front” “Ceiling”
“Rear” “Ceiling”
Determine the projection distance and place the unit.
Determine the projection distance from the lens to the screen to obtain the desired screen size. (The
screen sizes listed below are approximate values for a full-size image projected with no keystone
adjustment.)
The screen size decreases as the lens comes closer to the screen; it increases as the lens goes away
from the screen.

LCD Panels
LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the following
precautions:
• In order to extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when not in use, and make sure that
the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off is also very effective at saving electricity.
• If the air filter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector’s internal temperature will rise, shortening the lifetime of
the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. Clean the air filter from time to time (see
p.40), and replace it
periodically. Contact the store where you purchased your projector, or your local Service Station for replace-

Note
• The projector consumes about 1 W (AC 100 - 120 V) or 3 W (AC 220 - 240 V) of power in standby.You should
unplug the power cord if you will not use the projector for an extended period.
PRECAUTIONS
• Before unplugging the power cord, make sure that the LAMP indicator is off. Unplugging the power cord to cut
off the power while the projector is running or being cooled will shorten the life of the lamp. However, please
unplug the power cord if the projector locks up or acts abnormally.
• If the power cord was unplugged before cooling was completed, give the lamp sufficient time to cool down
before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats, it may fail to light, and its lifetime will be shortened.
• Before turning the power off, turn down the volume if possible.

Notes
• Note that because of the lamp characteristics, the brightness of the lamp may fluctuate slightly.
• A lamp is a consumable supply. If the lamp is used for an extended period, images will appear dark, and the
lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not a malfunction.
• Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals (see
p.48), any resolution signals that exceed
the number of pixels of the LCD panel of this projector will enlarge or compress the pictures, causing lack of
some information or affecting image quality.
•
With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images simultaneously on the projector
and the monitor’s display may cause the images to be shown improperly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s
LCD display. For information on how to turn off the LCD display, see the owner’s manual of your computer.
• If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the
icon will appear.
• If a no signal is being input from the connected device, the
icon will appear. The screen color will also
change to blue and the TOSHIBA logo will appear.
• If no signal is being input for more than 10 minutes, the power will be automatically turned off and the unit will
be placed in the standby state.
• If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the
icon will appear.
• The audio input to the Audio terminals is played regardless of the input source. (When the AV input is selected,
however, AV IN audio is played.)

Maintenance
Removing the tilt stand
Do not remove the tilt stand unless when you replace the lamp or mount the projector on a ceiling. Removing
the tilt stand leaves the projector unstable and may block the air intake at the bottom. Usually, the projector
must be used with the tilt stand.
PRECAUTIONS
• Before removing the tilt stand, be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
Place the unit upside down.
Turn the projector over and place it carefully. It is
recommended to lay a soft cloth, such as a thick towel,
under the unit to prevent it from shaking or getting
scratched.
Loosen the three screws.
Position the tilt stand where you can see three screws in
the centers of their respective screw holes. Loosen the
screws by turning them counterclockwise several times.
Detach the tilt stand.
Hold the tilt stand with both hands, turn it
counterclockwise, then lift it to remove.
2
1
To put the tilt stand back in place, take the above steps in reverse order. At this time, always make sure that
the three screws have been tightened.

Maintenance
Air filter cleaning
The air filter prevents dust and debris from getting inside the projector. Never run the projector with the filter
removed. The air filter should be cleaned regularly.
• The
icon message, “Check the air filter for dirt,” is displayed every 100 hours. (If the usage time exceeds 100
hours, this message is displayed for 30 seconds when the image is displayed for the first time after the power is
turned on. The message will be dismissed with any operation.)
• Check out the filter and, if any debris is found, use the following procedure for cleaning.
• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit to your projector dealership.
Unplug the power cord.
Remove the air filter.
Pull out the air filter by taking the catch shown in the figure with
your fingertips.
After turning the projector over, place it carefully. It is
recommended to lay a soft cloth, such as a thick towel, under the
unit to prevent it from shaking or getting scratched.
Clean the filter.
Carefully remove the dust and dirt from the air filter with a
vacuum cleaner or the like.
Replace the air filter.
Notes
• Allowing dirt and dust to build up in the air filter will worsen the air circulation inside the projector, causing the
internal temperature to rise, the projector to stop working or malfunction.
• Insert the air filter all the way in. Leaving gaps will allow dust and dirt to get inside the projector again.
• If the air filter is torn, consult with your dealer about replacing it with a new one. Continuing to use a ripped
filter will allow dust and dirt to get inside the projector.

Maintenance
Lens and main unit cleaning
• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit to your projector dealership.
Lens cleaning
• Clean the lens with a commercially available blower and/or lens
cleaner.
• The lens is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects, or strike
it.
Main unit cleaning
• Clean the main unit after unplugging the power cord.
• Wipe dirt off the main unit gently with a soft cloth.
• 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.
Replacing air intake and exhaust fans, and air filter
To maintain the performance, it is recommended that these should be replaced about every two or three years.
Consult with your dealer for details.

Maintenance
Lamp replacement
A lamp is a consumable supply. If the lamp is used for an extended period, images will appear dark, and the
lamp could burn out. This is a characteristic of a lamp, and is not a malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp
depends on conditions of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.
• If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, request lamp replacement to your projector dealership.
• When replacing, always use dedicated lamp “TLPLET1” (sold separately).
• 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 longer than one hour) before replacing it.
• If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces (see
p.8)
and contact your dealer for repair service.
Notes
• “Lamp time” in the “Status display” menu indicates the time of lamp use (as a rough guide).
• When “Standard” is set for the lamp power mode in the “Default setting” menu, replace the lamp after 2,000
hours of use as a guide. Using the unit with the “Low” lamp power mode extends the lifetime of the lamp.
• The lamp may stop lighting before the Lamp time reaches the hours as a guide or before a replacement
message appears.
G Lamp replacement messages
• This unit displays lamp replacement messages at appropriate timings depending on the total time of
lamp usage in the “Standard” or “Low” lamp power mode.
• The message, “Lamp life is approaching the end. Replace the lamp in earlier time,” starts appearing
whenever you turn on the power from 100 hours before the replacement deadline. The message will
be dismissed either after 30 seconds or with any operation.
• Once the lamp has reached the replacement deadline, the message, “Lamp life has ended. Replace
the lamp immediately,” appears whenever you turn on the power. The message will be dismissed
with any operation. The power is turned off automatically about seven minutes after the message
appears (the LAMP indicator remains on in orange during that period).
Unplug the power cord.
Wait until the lamp is sufficiently cooled.
Wait for at least one hour.
Remove the tilt stand.
Follow the instructions in “Removing the tilt stand” (see
p.39) to remove the tilt stand.

PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure to unplug the power cord if something goes wrong.
• If the power cord is unplugged before cooling is complete, give the lamp enough time to cool before plugging
it back in. If the lamp overheats, it may fail to light. Unplugging the power cord repeatedly when the tempera-
ture is high will shorten the life of the lamp. (Even if you are not concerned about lamp lifetime, the light may
not come on if you do not wait for at least three minutes.)
