•  Operating the projector from the rear
 Dry-cell batteries
•  Before using the batteries, be sure to observe the Safety Precautions described in 
previous pages.
•  Remove batteries from remote control when not using for extended periods.
•  If the remote control stops working, or if its range decreases, replace all the batteries 
with new ones.
 The remote control
•  The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to 
bright sunlight or fl uorescent lighting.
•  Do not drop the remote control or strike it on a hard surface.
•  Do not leave it in a hot or humid location.
•  Do not get it wet or place it on top of wet objects.

Placement
Placement Styles
This device can be placed in some different placement styles. The factory setting is “fl oor-
mounted front projection” although you can modify the setting according to your needs. 
Set the Projection mode in accordance with your needs through remote control or control 
panel, enter SETUP menu.
Floor-mounted front projection (Standard)
Ceiling-mounted front projection (Ceiling)
TDP-ET10 only
Floor-mounted rear projection (Rear)
Ceiling-mounted rear projection (Rear Ceiling)
TDP-ET10 only
 WARNING•  Always obey the instructions listed in the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 
section of this manual when setting up the unit. Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at 
a high site by yourself may cause you to fall thus resulting in injury.
•  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 installation knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to 
fall resulting in a serious injury.
•  If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of 
anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.
■ Note
In order to avoid image distortion, place the projector at fl at platform, the slope should not 
over 20 degree. Surface of projection screen or wall should be fl at and neat.

Projection Distance and Size
Use the fi gures, tables, and formulas below to determine the projection size and projection 
distance. (Projection sizes are approximate values for full-size picture with no keystone 
adjustment.)
a (cm) = projection size (inches) x 1.433 – 13.32
H (cm) = projection size (inches) x 0.1868
“a” is the distance (cm) between front edge of the projector and the screen, and cor-
responds to a range of 40 cm to 177 cm. “H” is the height from the image bottom to the 
center of the lens.

■ Notes
•  To select audio input, use On Screen menu, see p.28.
•  Signals which resolution exceeds the native resolution (854 x 480 pixels) will be compressed. For 
this reason, some information may be lost, or image quality may be affected.
• Because HDMI

5 Projector placement angle adjustments
(1)  There are 4 adjustable feet on bottom of the 
projector.
Each foot height can be adjusted by screwing 
and the placement angle and the height of the 
projected image can be changed.
(2)  To adjust the projection size, it is needed 
to change placement closer/farther to the 
projection screen.
6 Adjusting the focus
Use focusing ring to adjust the focus.
7 Select a screen size (aspect ratio)
The aspect ratio is the ratio of image width to image height. HDTV and most DVD mov-
ies are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. Most TV programs are 4:3.
The image ratio can be changed using the ‘SCREEN SIZE’ button on the remote control.
(Screen size can also be selected in ‘PICTURE’ page in MENU system.) p.43
Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal. The following four aspect 
ratios are available.
(1) Full
Scales an image so that it is displayed in the full of the screen in 16:9 aspect ratio. 
This mode is best for squeeze-signal video images.
(2) 4:3
Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen in 4:3 aspect 
ratio. This mode is best for 4:3-signal video images.
(3) Zoom
Enlarges an image with letterbox format to display it in full screen format in 16:9 
aspect ratio. The upper and lower portions of the image are cropped. Use this 
setting for wide-screen  video in letterbox format.
(4) Theater Wide
®
A 4:3 aspect ratio image is enlarged NON-linearly in horizontal direction to 
accommodate 16:9 full-screen display. This stretches only the right and left sides 
of the image; the central part is unchanged. This mode is best for 4:3-signal video 
images displayed on a wide screen.
  When input signal format is 1080i or 720p, actual screen size is fi xed to Full without 
regard to the screen size setting.

■ Note
•  Note that a lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fl uctuate slightly.
•  A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, 
and the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. 
(The lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)
• The DMD
TM is made using extremely advanced technology, but there may be black 
spots (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the 
panel. Please note that these are not malfunctions.
•  Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals, any resolutions not 
supported by this projector (WVGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect 
image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is recommended that the com-
puter’s external output should be set to WVGA (854 × 480) resolution.
•  With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images si-
multaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from 
displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For informa-
tion 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 “Unsupported signal” will ap-
pear.
•  If no signal is being input from the connected device, the “No signal” will appear.
