SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
1Place the projector on a flat surface.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power 
source and within 6 feet (1.8 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 28 to reverse the image.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the 
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for 
more information. To turn the image upside down, see 
“Ceiling Projection” on page 27. The Ceiling Mount Kit is 
sold separately, contact your Toshiba dealer to order.
2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and 
the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image. 
Figure 3 shows three projected image sizes. For more infor-
mation about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on 
page 49.

Connecting a Computer
The projector ships with an M1-DA analog computer cable and a 
PR Lite computer cable. If your computer has a digital output, 
you can order the optional M1-DA digital computer cable. Con-
tact your Toshiba dealer for ordering information.
1Plug the   end of the M1-DA analog computer cable 
into the   connector on the projector.
NOTE: Many laptop computers 
do not automatically turn on their 
external video port when a sec-
ondary display device such as a 
projector is connected. Refer to 
your computer manual for the 
command that activates the exter-
nal video port. Activation com-
mands for some laptop computers 
are listed in the Appendix of this 
manual on page 43 or visit sup-
port.toshiba.com for more infor-
mation.
2Plug the blue   end of the M1-DA analog computer cable 
into the video connector on your computer.

Connecting the projector to a computer
NOTE: If you are connecting an 
older Macintosh computer that 
does not have a 15-pin connector, 
you must use a Mac adaptor 
between the computer and the 
projector. The supplied Mac 
adapter will only work with the 
1024x768 resolution. Please set 
your Mac’s video card accordingly.

Setting up the Projector
Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s 
remote or keypad?
NOTE: The USB mouse is
supported for use with
Windows 98, Windows 2000, and
Apple OS 8.5 and higher only.
1Plug the   end of the M1-DA analog computer cable 
into the USB mouse connector on your computer. If your com-
puter has a PS/2 mouse connector and not a USB mouse con-
nector, you can purchase the optional PR Cable3 which has a 
PS/2 mouse connector or the Executive Remote IR Receiver. 
Contact your Toshiba dealer to order.
Do you want to play your computer’s audio on the projector?
1Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on 
your computer. Only one PC audio input is available.
NOTE: You do not need to restart
your computer after connecting a
USB mouse to use it (it is hot-
pluggable).
2Plug the other end of the audio cable into the   connector 
on the projector.
Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop. 
Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on 
page 13.

Connecting a Video Player
1If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video 
connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, 
and composite video cable that shipped with the projector. 
NOTE: HDTV sources must be 
connected to the projector using 
the M1-DA computer cable (not a 
composite or S-video cable). 
If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video con-
nector, you’ll need the S-video cable in addition to the 
audio cable and audio adapter. 
2Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the 
“video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 8). This 
connector 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 9).
3Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-
nector 
 on the projector.
If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into 
the “S-video” connector 
 on the projector (Figure 9).

Connecting the projector to a video player using an S-video cable and the audio cable 
and adapter
NOTE: The audio adapter is
provided so that the same audio
cable used to connect a computer
can be used with the adapter to
connect a VCR.
4Plug the audio adapter ’s white connector into the left “audio 
out” connector on your video player. Plug the adapter ’s red 
connector into the right “audio out” connector on the video 
player (Figure 8 and Figure 9).
5Plug the audio adapter ’s other end into the audio cable.
6Plug the audio cable into the “audio in”   connector on the 
projector.
CAUTION: Your video player
may also have a “Video Out”
connector for a coaxial cable
connection. DO NOT use this to
connect to the projector.
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video 
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and 
SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for 
the incoming video.

Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image
NOTE: Always use the power cord 
that shipped with the projector.
1Remove the lens cap.
2Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it 
into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is 
recommended.
3Press the Power button on the side of the projector.
NOTE: The first time you connect 
your computer to the projector, the 
computer may display a message 
stating that new hardware was 
found. The Add New Hardware 
Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz-
ard to load the correct driver (the 
computer considers the projector a 
Plug and Play Monitor). 
The fans start to run, the LED on the top of the projector 
(Figure 13 on page 18) lights green, and the startup screen 
appears. It takes about one minute for the image to achieve 
full brightness.
4If you connected a video player, turn it on.
The video image should display on the projection screen. If 
a computer source is active, press the 
source button on the 
keypad (page 18) or the 
video button on the remote to dis-
play your video image. You can select a default source to 
determine which source the projector examines first during 
power-up for active video; see “Default Source” on page 28.
Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume.
5Turn on your computer. 
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 or the 
computer button on the remote to display 
your computer ’s image. Make sure your laptop’s external 
video port is activated; see “Portable and Laptop Activation 
Chart” on page 43 for details.
If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro-
jector ’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the 
menu button on the keypad or remote, then select the Dis-
play or Image menu. For more information about the 
menus, see page 20.

Setting up the Projector
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 or remote. 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 27 for details.) After 15 min-
utes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit 
standby mode, press the 
standby button again. (It may take sev-
eral seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and 
project the image again.)
NOTE: To maximize lamp life,
allow the projector to run for at
least five minutes before turning
it off.
To completely power off the projector, press the Power button. If 
you want to turn the lamp back on immediately, you must allow 
about a minute for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s 
too hot.

USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the 
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote 
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
1Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right 
order (page 13).
2If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image 
(page 17), adjust the height of the projector (page 17) or center 
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position 
(page 26). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the 
screen.
3If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 17).
4If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical 
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image 
(page 24) 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 25) and/or the tracking 
(page 25) manually.
5If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 21).
Using the Remote Control
To control the computer ’s mouse from the projector ’s remote or 
keypad, you must connect the USB mouse connector on the com-
puter cable to the computer. See page 10 for details. 
The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons, 
a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the 
remote and one on the bottom.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of 
the projector (not at the computer). The range for optimum oper-
ation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection 
screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must 
be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best results, point the remote 
directly at the projector.

Remote control
NOTE: If the remote is inactive
for several minutes, it “sleeps” to
conserve battery life. Press any
button except the disk mouse to
re-activate the remote.
Press anywhere on the edge of the disk mouse to move the cursor 
on the screen. You can move the cursor at any angle by pressing 
the corresponding edge of the disk. The mouse button on the top 
of the remote simulates your computer ’s right mouse button; the 
button on the bottom simulates your computer ’s left mouse but-
ton. See “Using the Keypad and Remote Buttons” starting on 
page 18 for a description of the four function buttons.
If you are creating presentations in Microsoft
® PowerPoint®, you 
can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your 
presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint 
for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab, 
de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the 
Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in Power-
Point’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide 
and a right click returns to the previous slide (other PowerPoint 
modes are not affected).
