IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
Save Original Packing Materials  
The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to  
ship your 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 in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause mal-  
function, and shorten the life of the projector.  
• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, shortening  
their lives, and darkening the screen.  
• Do not use in angle of 20or more degrees. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.  
• If used at high altitudes, the unit could cease operation even if used within the rated tempera-  
ture range. This is because the thinner air at high altitudes decreases the internal cooling  
efficiency. Therefore, please lower the ambient temperature if using at high altitudes.

Inserting the dry batteries into the remote controller  
1. Remove the rear lid of the remote controller.  
1
2. Check the polarity (+), (-) of the dry batteries, and set  
them correctly inserting their (-) side first.  
3
If the battery is inserted from the (+) side first, inserting  
the (-) side is difficult because the coil spring end hits on  
the battery side. If the battery is forced to insert in this  
way, the outer label of the battery may get ripped and it  
may cause short-circuit and heating.  
2
3. Attach the rear lid.  
Use two size-AAA dry batteries (RO3).  
Exchange the two batteries to new ones if the distance  
that allows the remote controller to operate becomes  
shorter than usual.  
Correctly treat the batteries after thoroughly reading "On treating the batteries" described on Page 7.  
If the batteries are treated incorrectly, they may cause fire or peripheral contamination due to leakage  
of the liquid, heating, or burst. (Read the cautions indicated on the battery, too.)  
This projector is designed as plug-in equipment. There must be an easily accessible power outlet near  
the installed projector.  
Use the attached power cord with this projector. Using any other power cord than specified could  
cause electromagnetic interference to radio or television broadcast.  
Use the attached mini D-SUB 15pin-DVI conversion cable and RS-232C cable to suppress the inter-  
ference within the restriction for J55022 class-B apparatus.  
Use a DVI shielded cable to suppress the interference within the restriction for J55022 class-B appa-  
ratus.

SETTING UP  
Setting up screen  
Set the screen perpendicular to the projector. If the screen can not be set perpendicularly, adjust the  
projection angle of the projector. (See below.)  
Adjust the screen or projector so that the shadow of the projector lens may be projected onto the center of the  
screen.  
Do not place the screen where the direct sunlight and illuminating lights come onto the screen. Direct light  
illumination onto the screen could whiten the screen surface making the projected picture images bad to see.  
Basic setup  
Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the picture images to be  
projected. (See Page 14 and 15.)

If the projected image frame is distorted  
to a trapezoid:  
1. Lift up the projector up to the desired projection  
angle by hands.  
Set the projector within a tilt angle of 15 degrees.  
2. Press up the left and right angle adjusting buttons.  
3. Release the hands from the angle adjusting but-  
tons and projector.  
If the screen and the projector are not set perpen-  
dicular to each other, the projected image frame be-  
comes trapezoidal.If it is not possible to bring them  
into positions perpendicular to each other by any  
mechanical adjustments, adjust the value for trapezoi-  
dal correction in the setup menu. (See Page 19.)  
4
If the "trapezoidal correction" is applied, the as-  
pect ratio may not be adjusted correctly in some  
cases.  
If the "trapezoidal correction" is applied, the reso-  
lution of the projected image will be reduced. Also,  
moire fringes on fine-pattern images or drooping  
of straight lines in the images will appear. There-  
fore, try to set the screen and the projector per-  
pendicular to each other as much as possible.  
4. By turning the angle adjusting foot (front) to the  
left or right, make fine adjustment so that the pro-  
jected image frame may be in parallel with the  
sides of the screen.

On color temperatures  
There is various degree of white color. One of the methods of representing degree of white color is color  
temperatures. White color of low color temperature is reddish white, and that of high color temperature is  
bluish white. In this projector, the color temperatures are set by varying each gain and bias of R (red), G  
(green), and B (blue) signal.  
To make the color temperature higher:  
Set the value of B-gain (or B-bias) larger, and the value of R-gain (or R-bias) smaller.  
To make the color temperature lower:  
Set the value of R-gain (or R-bias) larger, and the value of B-gain (or B-bias) smaller.  
One method of adjusting color temperatures is to make use of persons skin color. Project a large still  
picture of human face on the screen, and adjust the color tone of the face so that it may look favorable  
(generally, it may look healthy).  
Åú Generally, the gains are used to adjust bright pictures, and the biases are used to adjust dark pictures.  
Åú Using the biases is effective in adjusting color of monotone pictures. (It is especially effective for  
adjusting dark to intermediate portions.) For example, when the green is relatively strong, decrease the  
value of R-bias, or increase the values of both B-bias and R-bias evenly. Also, when the projected images  
are bluish, decrease the value of B-bias, and when they are reddish, decrease the value of R-bias. In this  
way, favorable picture quality can be obtained.

REPLACING THE LAMP / CLEANING THE PROJECTOR  
The light-source lamp is stored in the projector to project picture images on screen. The light-source lamp is a  
consumable part. It may go off or its brightness may decrease during use. In these cases, replace the lamp to new  
one in good time. For the replacement, be sure to use the light-source lamp that is sold exclusively for TDP-MT500.  
Purchase the lamp from the delivery agent of the projector.  
Warning  
Before replacing the light-source lamp, be sure to turn off the main power switch and unplug the power plug.  
Replacing the lamp without turning off the main power switch can cause electric shock.  
When replacing the light-source lamp, be cautious not to drop the screws fixing the lamp into the inside of the  
projector. Do not put any metal pieces or easily flammable things in the projector. If the projector is operated  
containing foreign matters, electric shock or fire may be caused. If users can not take out the foreign matters  
inside, ask a repair front of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to take them out.  
Securely fix the light-source lamp. If it is not fixed properly, it will not come on and may cause fire.  
Never shake the replaced light-source lamp or bring it over face. The lamp may be broken and its broken glass  
pieces may be scattered or enter human eyes causing injuries.  
Do not replace the light-source lamp immediately after its use, because it is very hot and may cause burn. Turn  
off the power button to put off the lamp, and wait about 2 minutes until the cooling fan comes to a complete stop.  
Then, turn off the main power switch and unplug the power plug. After more than one hour has passed and the  
lamp has been thoroughly cooled down, replace the lamp.  
Caution  
In this projector, a LAMP indicator blinks after the light-source lamp has been used more than 1000 hours.  
When the lamp has been used more than 1300 hours, a warning appears on the screen every time the power  
is turned on. After more than 1500 hours of use, the power for the lamp is automatically turned off and the  
lamp can not be used any more. Then, replace the lamp to new one as soon as possible.  
Do not remove the light-source lamp except when it is replaced. Otherwise, removing it may cause a failure.  
As the light-source lamp, the high-pressure mercury lamp is used. The high-pressure mercury lamp may burst  
with a disruptive sound, if it is shocked or scratched, or if the lamp deteriorates while being used. Also, it may  
stop lighting when it comes to its life end. The lapse of time until each lamp bursts or stops lighting, if it occurs,  
depends on the characteristics or use condition of each lamp. Therefore, there is a possibility that it may burst  
by chance even in a short time after its start of use.  
The possibility of burst of the high-pressure mercury lamp increases if it is used beyond its replacement period.  
When the indication of lamp replacement appears, immediately replace the lamp to new one if the lamp is  
lighting normally.  
If the high-pressure mercury lamp bursts, the fragments of the glass valve may scatter in and out of the lamp  
box, or the gas filled in the valve may come out of the ventilation outlet. The gas filled in the high-pressure  
mercury lamp contains mercury vapor. Be extremely cautious not to inhale the gas or bring the gas into eyes or  
mouths. If the gas should be inhaled or brought into eyes or mouths, consult a doctor immediately.  
If the high-pressure mercury lamp bursts, fragments of the glass valve are scattered inside of the projector. It is  
recommended to ask a service outlet of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to replace the light-source lamp and  
check the interior of the projector. When users make the cleaning and the replacement of the lamp for them-  
selves, be sure to turn the main unit upside down and do it holding the lamp holder. Otherwise, the broken glass  
pieces of the lamp may cause injuries.  
How to replace the lamp:  
1 Turn the unit upside down.  
(a)  
2 Undo the screw fixing the lamp cover (a)  
with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the  
lamp cover from the unit.  
(b)

lamp from the unit.  
Pull out the light-source lamp slowly. If the lamp is burst, the glass  
fragments may be scattered if the lamp is pulled out hurriedly.  
Do not spray water or the like over the light-source lamp pulled  
out, or do not put it where children can access it or near anything  
easily flammable. It may cause burn or injury.

Cleaning dust in the intake vent  
If dust is accumulated in the intake vent, the temperature in the projec-  
tor goes up abnormally, and may  
damage the internal parts. Also, the light-source lamp may come off to  
protect the internal parts. Clean up  
the dust with a vacuum cleaner about once a year.

Cleaning the projector  
Softly wipe off dirt on the projector with a soft cloth.  
If the dirt is thick, wipe it off with a cloth soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water, and then finish with a dry  
cloth.  
If any pesticide is sprayed over the projector, or if the projector is wiped with benzine or thinner, or if rubber or  
vinyl products are brought into contact with the projector for a long period of time, the painting of the projector  
may change in quality or removed.  
Cleaning the lens  
Remove dust or dirt on the lens with a commercially available lens cleaning kit (blower, brush, and the  
like).  
Because the surface of the lens is easily scratched, do not rub or hit the surface with anything hard.

Black dots are seen in  
the projected images.  
This phenomenon is proper to DLP projector and is not a failure. (A very small number of  
pixels may be constantly lighting on or off, but this is not a failure. Pixels of more than  
99.99% are effective ones.)  
A rainbow-color brume pattern  
is seen on projected images.  
This pattern is a color breaking noise that occurs in DLP system in principle. This is not a  
failure.  
Fine streak pattern is seen  
on projected images.  
This phenomenon occurs due to the interference with the screen surface, and is not a  
failure. Try to replace the screen or defocus the lens a little.  
Securely plug the cable connecting the external equipment to the bottom.  
Keep the projector away from equipment generating interfering radiowaves.

INDICATORS  
How to see the internal states from indicators  
There are three indicators that inform of the internal states of the projector. The internal states can be  
known by how the indicators are lighting. Check the followings, and if there is any problem, stop to use  
the projector and be sure to unplug the power plug. Then, contact a repair/customer front of Mitsubishi  
Electric Corporation.

WHEN ASKING INSTALLATION WORK  
In the case of suspending the projector from  
ceiling and viewing the projected images from  
the front side:  
When suspending the projector from ceiling, use the  
separately sold dedicated metal bracket (see Page 38).  
Also, be sure to ask a special worker who received train-  
ing of the installation work to do the work. Consult  
the delivery agent of the projector about the details of  
the installation work.  
In the case of installing the projector so that the  
picture images are projected onto a semitranspar-  
ent screen and viewed them from the rear side of  
the screen:  
When installing the projector, be sure to ask a special  
worker who received training of the installation work.  
Consult the delivery agent of the projector about the  
details of the installation work.  
If the projector is damaged by using any other suspension  
bracket than the dedicated one or due to any problem of the  
environment in which the suspension metal bracket is in-  
stalled, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will not compensate  
the damage even if the product is still under warranty.  
Screen  
Projector  
When viewing projected images from the rear side of  
the screen, set the projection method in the setting  
menu to Rear. Refer to Page 27 for the detail.  
Projector  
Screen  
In the case of the suspension from ceiling, set the projection  
method in the setting menu to Ceiling suspension. Refer  
to Page 27 for the detail.  
Ask the installation worker to provide a power breaker for  
the projector. When the projector is not used, be sure to turn  
off the main power for the projector with the breaker.  
Where the projector is suspended from ceiling, the bright-  
ness of the projected images may be less brighter than where  
it is set on floor. However, this is not a failure.  
Do not install the projector where its exhaust vent is directly  
exposed to the wind from an air conditioner or the like. Such  
installation may cause failures of the projector.  
Do not install the projector near a fire alarm, because hot air  
is exhausted form the vent of the projector.

The maximum resolution of this projector is 1024 x 576 dots. It is not possible to obtain more than the maxi-  
mum resolution for projected images.  
If picture images of a connected computer have a resolution and sync frequency other than those  
indicated in the above table, they may be projected by changing the resolution and frequency within  
the computer.  
Because XGA60 signal and SVGA60 signal are in conformity with HTPC, they are projected with em-  
phasis on picture quality, and the projected images become a little dark. The other PC input signals  
are projected with emphasis on brightness.  
1080i represents Hi-Vision.  
COMPONENT 1,2 input does not deal with RGB signals.  
DVI-ANALOG input does not deal with chrominance signals.  
If signals out of specification input, they may not be projected properly.  
If VGA60 signal outputs at the startup of the computer, the projected image may not be displayed properlyfor  
example, the position of the displayed image may be shifted. However, this is not a failure (non-compliant  
signal).
