Before connection•Read the owner’s manual of the device you are connecting to the projector.
• Some types of computer cannot be used or connected to this projector.
Check for an RGB output terminal, supported signal 
p.45
, etc.
•T urn off the power of both devices before connecting.
• The figure below is a sample connection. This does not mean that all of these devices
can or must be connected simultaneously. (Dotted lines mean items can be exchanged.)
Notes
•COMPUTER terminals 1 and 2 function identically.
•F or TDP-S81, the document camera should be connected to COMPUTER terminal 2.
• The AUDIO IN terminal doubles for devices connected to COMPUTER terminals 1 and 2.Connection
Projection Distance and SizeUse the figures, 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.)Placement StylesAs shown in the figures below, this device can be placed in 4 different styles.
The factory setting is “floor-mounted front projection.” Set the  Projection mode in the
default setting menu  
p.32
, in accordance with your needs.
PlacementFloor-mounted front projection 
 W ARNING
• Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit.
Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may caus\
e you to drop down, thus
resulting in injury.
• If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your d\
ealer to do so. Mounting the
projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separate\
ly) and specialized knowledge.
Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an acc\
ident.
• 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.

d by the foot
adjuster.q Lift up the front of the projector to
the desired angle, then press the
foot adjuster release button.
The foot adjuster extends. Release the
b utton to lock the position.
w To adjust the horizontal angle, use

Adjusting the screen size and focusq
Use the zooming lever to adjust the screen size.
w Use the focusing lever to adjust the focus.Readjusting the projection size with the

perform focusing again.
7
Adjusting the volume with the 
 
 buttons
The speaker volume can be adjusted when an audio signal is being input.Notes
• Note that a lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate 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 
p.45
, any resolutions not
supported by this projector (SVGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image
quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is recommended that the computer’s
e xternal output should be set to SVGA resolution.
• With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images
simultaneously 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 information
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 appear.
• If no signal is being input from the connected device, the “No signal” will appear.
• If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the 
 icon will appear.

Using the document cameraPlease read this chapter if the model you purchased is TDP-S81 which includes a document camera.■How to use the document camera
Using the camera attached on the projector
PRECAUTIONS
•F or camera interconnection, be sure to use the supplied RGB cable (25 cm or 3 m). If you
use the other cables, the normal operation may not be achieved and even the malfunction
may result.
• When moving the projector with the camera attached, do not grab the camera arm and/or
the camera head.
•When moving the projector with the camera attached, first ensure that the camera is securely
locked in position on the tray
.
• Insert the RGB cable straight and securely until it is fixed in place.
• Do not jolt or force the camera head or camera arm. Doing so could cause malfunction.
• Note that when extending or rotating the camera arm, the arm moves in an arc. Take care
not to bump yourself or others with it.
• When placing the projector in the carrying bag, remove the connection cables. Otherwise,
damage to the connectors and cables may result.
