Placement
Placement Styles
As 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 , in accordance with your needs.
WARNING
• 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
everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

[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.

Maintenance
About lamp
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.
Maintenance
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.

Lens and main unit cleaning
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.
