31 Operations CONTENTS Turning the power off Press ON/STANDBY after using the projector.An instruction message appears.Press ON/STANDBY again.Cooling starts. Once cooling is completed, the LAMP and FAN indicators turn off and the standby mode is set. (The ON indicator turns in orange.) To protect the light source lamp, the LAMP indicator blinks as long as a minimum of cooling is necessary. The power cannot be turned back on during this time. Unplugging the power cord at this time will shorten the lampÕs duration life. The cooling fan continues to run for a while to expel the heat remaining inside. If you are in a hurry, however, you may unplug the power cord at this time. The standby mode is set. 1 2 MENUON/STANDBY INPUT L-CLICK R-CLICK ENTERKEYSTONE AUTO SET EXIT PIPFREEZEMUTE CALL RESIZE VOLUME/ADJUST 1,2 1,2 2 TEMP LAMP ON BUSYFA NKEYSTONESET AUTO AUTO EXIT ENTER MENUINPUTVOL/ADJ.TEMPLAMP ONBUSY FA NON/STANDBY KEYSTONESET AUTO AUTOEXIT ENTERMENUINPUT VOL/ADJ.ON/STANDBY LASER ONFA N ON LAMP LAMPFA N ON LAMPFA N A B C (Green) Flashing (Orange)(Green) (Off) (Orange)(Green) (Off) (Orange)(Off) BC Indicators A Remote controlControl panel (Main unit side) Notes ¥ The projector consumes about 20W of power in the standby mode. We recommend you to unplug the power cord when not using the projector for long periods of time. ¥ Be sure that the LAMP indicator has turned off before unplugging the power cord. Cutting the power by unplugging the power cord while the projector is operating or the light source lamp is being cooled will shorten the lampÕs duration life.
32 Operations CONTENTS Notes ¥ Automatic adjustment may not be performed properly for signals other than the RGB signals with which the projector is compatible 91 . ¥ The horizontal position, vertical position, sampling phase and sampling frequency can also be adjusted from the menu screen 54 . * Sampling frequency Analog RGB signals input from the computer are converted into digital signals inside the projector. The sampling frequency is the number of times per second the analog signals are converted into digital signals. In order to capture (sample) each individual dot of the computer’s signals, the sampling frequency must be adjusted to match the computer’s dot clock frequency. If this adjustment is off, details of the image may be blurred, a striped pattern may appear when images with many vertical lines are displayed, or the image’s width may change. For RGB signals with which the projector is compatible, the sampling frequency is adjusted automatically even without pressing the AUTO SET button. * Sampling phase The sampling phase is the timing at which the computerÕs analog RGB signals are sampled. If the sampling phase is off, the individual dots cannot be sampled at the proper timing, resulting in blurred or flickering images.

To refresh the information, turn off the information display, then turn it back on. ¥ The information display turns off if any other operation is performed. ¥ The ÒLamp timeÓ shows an approximate time for lamp replacement. (It should not be used as a lamp warranty time counter.) If the time indicated here nears 1000, contact your store of purchase about obtaining a replacement lamp (TLPLX10, sold separately). The fractions of the actual usage time are discarded from the time indicated here each time the projector is used, so the indicated time is actually somewhat shorter than the actual usage time. ¥ The ÒLamp timeÓ can be reset when the lamp is replaced. ¥ The ÒVersionÓ is the version of the control program used in the projector and is used for servicing, etc. MENUON/STANDBY INPUT L-CLICK R-CLICK ENTERKEYSTONE AUTO SET EXIT PIP CALL FREEZEMUTE CALL RESIZE VOLUME/ADJUSTLASER Displaying Information Information on the input signal source, etc., can be displayed.

40 Operations CONTENTS This projector can read the image data of JPEG format stored in a memory card to project the images on the screen. For example, you can perform the presentation without a computer by converting the presentation data prepared on the computer into JPEG format and then saving in the memory card. (It cannot reproduce the motion in the same manner of the Microsoft PowerPoint animated effect.) Read this page carefully before using this function. Projecting images stored in a memory card About memory cards ¥ The card slot on the projector conforms with PC Card Standard TYPE II. Use a memory card and converter adapter (PC card adapter) compatible to this type of card slot. ¥ The following ATA-compatible recording media (on the market) is available. In this manual all such cards are explained in general as Òmemory cardÓ.¥ Flash ATA card ¥ SmartMedia TM card (used with a SmartMedia TM PC card adapter) ¥ CompactFlash card (used with a CompactFlash PC card adapter) ¥ Memory Stick (used with a Memory Stick PC card adapter) ¥ Multimedia card (used with a Multimedia PC card adapter) ¥ SD Memory card (used with an SD Memory card PC card adapter) ¥ TOSHIBA mobile HDD MEHDD20A Note that inserting other memory cards, adapters or PC cards with different functions into the projector may damage the card or cause malfunction.¥ Memory cards confirmed to operate properly on the projector Toshiba does not guarantee the whole operation.¥ Flash ATA card: I-O DATA PCFCA-96M (96MB), PCFCA-128M (128MB) ¥ SmartMedia card: TOSHIBA PDR-SM16 (16MB), PDR-SM32 (32MB), PDR- SM64 (64MB) Adapter: FUJIFILM PC-AD3B, OLYMPUS MA-2 ¥ CompactFlash card: SanDisk SDCFB-64-505 (64MB), SDCFB-128-505 (128MB) Adapter: SanDisk SDCF-31 ¥ Memory Stick: SONY MSA-32A (32MB) Adapter: SONY MSAC-PC2N ¥ Multimedia card: I-O DATA PCMMC-32MS (32MB) Adapter: I-O DATA PCMMC-ADP ¥ SD Memory card: Panasonic RP-SD032 (32MB) Adapter: Panasonic BN-SDAAP3 * The Toshiba IPC5019A, BUFFLO RFD-A2 SmartMedia PC card interface adapter cannot be used. ¥ For security, we recommend you to back up the data stored in the memory cards before use.
