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.33

• 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 cause you to drop down, thus
resulting in injury.
• If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the
projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge.
Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.
• If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let
ev eryone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

•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.41
, any resolutions not
supported by this projector (XGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image
quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is recommended that the computer’s
external output should be set to XGA (1024 × 768) 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.

About lampMaintenanceThe 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.
•H ow 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.
•F requently 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 replacementA 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
.
 W
ARNING
•If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is recommended to use your Toshiba
dealership when the lamp has to be exchanged.
• When replacing, always use lamp “TLPLV8” (sold separately).
 CAUTION
•If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause burn injuries
.
W ait 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.

Used LampsThis projector’s lamps contain trace amounts of environmentally harmful inorganic
mercury. Be careful not to break used lamps, and dispose of them in accordance with
local regulations.
Lens and main unit cleaning
 W
ARNING
•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 drop
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,
