 [Screen size]•  If “Thru” is selected for [Screen size], portions exceeding the native resolution (800 × 600 pixels) will not appear on the screen. Note that for RGB signals with clock frequency 110MHz or lower, all input pixel signals are sampled. However, if the clock speed is higher than this, the RGB pixel signal is thinned before sampling.
•  If you use the screen size setting function on commercial video software, 
broadcast or cable-broadcasting programs to display images with the varying aspect ratio except for the purpose of your private viewing and listening, it may 
infringe the copyright protected by the copyright laws.

Maintenance
The product’s light source is a mercury lamp that lights at increased internal pressure. Be sure to fully understand the following characteristics of the lamp and handle it with extreme care.•  The lamp may burst with a loud noise due to impact or deterioration, or fail to light at the expiration of its life.
•  How long it takes before the lamp bursts or the life expires may vary greatly by lamp.  Some may burst shortly after first use.
•  Burst is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has elapsed.
•  When the lamp bursts, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product or be 
released outside from the openings for ventilation.
•  When the lamp bursts, a slight amount of mercury gas enclosed in the lamp along with 
glass dust may be released from the openings for ventilation.
■ Immediately replace the lamp when a sign appears on the screen.
•  When the replacement time approaches, a message will appear on the screen.
•  The risk of burst will increase if the lamp is continuously used without being replaced.
•  Frequently check the used hours and prepare spares when the replacement time 
approaches. (Refer to “Status display”. p.34)
■ When the lamp is broken
•  If glass components, including a lamp and a lens, should break, handle the broken pieces with care to avoid injury and contact your dealer for repair service.
•  In the event of lamp burst, unplug the product from the wall outlet, leave and completely 
ventilate the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the projector and discard any edible items placed in that area.  
•  When the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into your eyes 
or you breathe it.
Lamp replacement
A lamp is consumable supplies. 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 condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.
 WARNING
• If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is recommended to use your Toshiba dealer-ship when the lamp has to be exchanged.  Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on a ceiling may lead to a danger of damage from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken. Besides, working at high elevations can also be hazardous. Do not attempt to replace the lamp by yourself.
•  When replacing, always use lamp “TLPLV6” (sold separately).
 CAUTION
• 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 1 hour) before replacing it.
• If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces and contact your dealer for repair service.

  Notes and Precautions
•  It is recommended that the lamp be replaced after 2,000 hours of use.When [Lamp time]

 WARNING
• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector dealership. 
Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to fall 
down, thus resulting in injury.
■  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.
•  Do not wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Doing 
so may allow water to get inside, resulting in an 
electric shock or failure.
•  Do not use benzene, thinner and the like as they 
may deform or discolor the unit or damage the paint 
surface.
•  When using a chemically treated cloth, follow the
