Toshiba Projector TDP P6 User Manual

							31
Settings menuAudio: allows volume adjustments. You can also adjust volume from the 
keypad.
Sources
: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key 
when using certain optional remotes. Also allows selection of a default 
Power-up Source and enables or disables Autosource. When Autosource is 
not checked, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up 
Source. If no source is found, a blank screen displays. When Autosource is 
checked, Power-up Source determines which source the projector defaults 
to at power-up. If no signal is present, the projector checks the sources in 
order until a source is found or until power down. 
Pow e r- u p  S o u r c e :  determines which source (computer or video) the projec-
tor checks first for active video during power-up. 
System menu
Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent 
screen.
Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector turns on when 
power is applied and turns off if a source becomes inactive. 
Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or 
“Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Lamp Mode: allows you to optimize the lamp mode for your specific use. 
The default is High Bright, which maximizes the light output. Select Long 
Life to maximize lamp life and minimize fan noise, or Nominal to balance 
brightness, lamp life, and fan noise.
NND (Notebook No-Doze): prevents your notebook computer from going 
into Screen Save mode (functions only when the USB connector is plugged 
in).
Pow e r  S av e: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected 
for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector 
powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers 
down, the image will be displayed.

nals are detected for a preset number of minutes (the default is 30 minutes).

instead of the default screen at startup and when no source is detected.

MaintenanceCleaning the lens1
Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the 
cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh 
chemicals might scratch the lens.
2
Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you 
don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Replacing the projection lampThe lamp hour timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the 
lamp has been in use. Fifty hours before the specified end of the lamp’s life, 
the message “Change lamp” briefly appears on the screen at each startup. 
After 50 additional hours, the lamp will no longer light. You can order new 
lamp modules from your dealer.1
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable. 
2
Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
3
Turn the projector upside down and loosen the two screws on the lamp 
door. Pry the door straight up to disengage the power interrupt connec-
tor (located on the underside of the door) and remove the lamp door. Be 
sure to pry the door straight up, not at an angle, to avoid damaging the 
power interrupt connector.
NOTE: The projector will not turn on while the lamp door is removed.
4
Pull the pull tab on the lamp module up to release the catch.
5

WARNINGS: 
 To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before 
you replace the lamp.
 Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
 Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection 
sharpness.
 Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely 
event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. 
The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but 
use caution when removing it.6
Carefully remove the lamp module. Note that the lens end of the mod-
ule has a tab that connects in a slot in the bottom of the lamp cavity. You 
must pull upward with enough force to disconnect the tab from the slot. 
Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner. 
7
Install the new lamp module. Slide the new module straight down over 
the tunnel/hood, align the tab with the slot, then press to connect. 
8
Re-latch the pull tab while pressing down on the lamp module.
9
Re-plug in the lamp cable.
10
Replace the lamp door by aligning the connector on the back of the door 
with the projector and replacing the two lamp door screws.
11
Plug in the power cable, then press the Powe r button to turn the projec-
tor back on. Reset the lamp hour timer by simultaneously holding down 
the two Vo l u m e keys on the projector ’s keypad for 10 seconds. At that 
point the LED will turn green and you can power on the projector. You 
can also navigate to the Settings>Service menu and select Lamp Reset 
to reset the lamp timer.
