INTRODUCTION  
The Toshiba® TDP-B1™ is specifically designed for the mobile  
presenter. It packs XGA 1024x768 graphics with 16.7 million col-  
ors into a small, 4.8 pound package. It generates crisp, clear  
images using Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) technology. The  
TDP-B1 is easy to connect, easy to use, easy to transport, and easy  
to maintain.  
Image Resolution  
NOTE: The TDP-B1 automatically  
expands 640x480 and 800x600  
images to 1024x768. You can dis-  
play these images at their native  
resolutions by turning off the Auto  
Resize feature. See “Auto Resize”  
on page 21 for more information.  
The XGA resolution of the TDP-B1’s projected image is 1024x768.  
The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above  
1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than  
1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the  
projector.  
Compatibility  
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and  
video devices, including:  
IBM-compatible computers, including portable computers, up  
to 1024x768 resolution.  
Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024x768  
resolution.  
Most standard VCRs, DVD players, camcorders and laser disc  
players.  
Unpacking the Projector  
The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to  
make sure all are included. Contact your Toshiba dealer imme-  
diately if anything is missing.

Usage Guidelines  
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is  
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.  
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow  
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must  
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.  
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass  
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.  
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold  
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach  
room temperature before use.  
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.  
Refer to your Toshiba dealer or projectors.toshiba.com for more  
information.

Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume.  
5 Turn on your computer.  
NOTE: With some computers,  
the order in which you power up  
the equipment is very important.  
Most computers should be turned  
on last, after all other peripherals  
have been turned on. Refer to your  
computer’s documentation to  
determine the correct order.  
The computer image should display on the projection  
screen. If a video source is active, press the source button on  
the keypad or the computer button on the remote to display  
your computer’s image. Make sure your computer’s exter-  
nal video port is activated; see “Portable Computer Activa-  
tion Chart” on page 38 for details.  
If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro-  
jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the  
menu button on the keypad or remote, then select the Dis-  
play or Image sub-menu. For more information about the  
menus, see page 18.

Turning Off the Projector  
If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time,  
press the standby button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the  
screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You  
can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby  
mode; see “Standby Time” on page 23 for details.) After 15 min-  
utes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit  
standby mode, press the standby button again. (It may take sev-  
eral seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and  
project the image again.)  
To completely power off the projector, unplug it. If you want to  
turn the lamp back on immediately, you must allow about a  
minute for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.  
NOTE: Lamp life will be extended  
if you turn the lamp off, then wait  
1 minute while the lamp cools  
before unplugging the projector.  
The Lamp LED will light green  
when the lamp has cooled. See  
page 16 for details on the Lamp  
LED.

USING THE PROJECTOR  
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the  
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote  
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.  
Basic Image Adjustment  
1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right  
order (page 11).  
2 If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image  
(page 15), adjust the height of the projector (page 15) or center  
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position  
(page 22). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the  
screen.  
3 If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 15).  
4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical  
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image  
(page 21) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and  
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image  
off and adjust the sync (page 21) and/or the tracking  
(page 22) manually.  
5 If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 19).  
Using the Remote Control  
The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons,  
a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the  
remote and one on the bottom.  
NOTE: To control the computer’s  
mouse from the projector’s remote  
or keypad, you must connect a  
mouse cable to the projector and  
the computer. See page 8 for  
details.  
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of  
the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If  
you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the  
screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25  
feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the projector.

only affects computer images that are not the projector’s native  
resolution.  
When Auto Resize is on, the projector makes the best fit of the  
image to the computer screen. If you turn Auto Resize off (by  
highlighting it in the Image menu and clicking the left or right  
navigation button to select “off”), the image may be either  
cropped or too small for the screen.  
Manual Sync  
The projector adjusts signal synchronization automatically for  
most computers. But if the projected computer image looks fuzzy  
or streaked, try turning Auto Image off then back on again. If the  
image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization  
manually:

1 Turn Auto Image off.  
2 Highlight Manual sync, then press the left or right navigation  
button repeatedly until the image is sharp and free of streaks.  
Manual Tracking  
The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video  
signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly  
spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide  
or too narrow for the screen, try turning Auto Image off then back  
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-  
ually:  
1 Turn Auto Image off.  
NOTE: The Manual Sync,  
Manual Tracking, Horiz.  
Position and Vert. Position  
options are available only for  
computer sources. The projector  
sets these options automatically  
for video sources.

Video Standard  
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to  
pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N,  
or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives.  
(The video standard options may vary depending on your region  
of the world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct stan-  
dard, the colors might not look right or the image might appear  
“torn.” If this happens, manually select a standard by clicking the  
left or right navigation button and cycling through the standards.  
NOTE: If you already know the  
video standard used in your geo-  
graphical area, it’s often best to  
manually select it.  
Standby Time  
This option lets you select how long the lamp stays on and the  
blank screen is displayed when the projector enters standby  
mode before the projector turns off. Select among 1, 5, 10, and 15  
minutes and 1 and 2 hours by clicking the left or right navigation  
button and cycling through the options.

properly on some older computers. The Plug and Play setting  
does not affect video images.  
If the projectors display constantly changes between the com-  
puter image and the message, “Perfecting the image”, you may  
need to turn Plug and Play Off.

scratch the lens.  
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular  
motion.  
3 If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace  
the lens cap.  
Replacing the Projection Lamp  
The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of  
hours the lamp has been in use. Replace the lamp when the  
brightness is no longer acceptable. You can order new lamp mod-  
ules from your Toshiba dealer. See “Accessories” on page 36 for  
information. In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, please con-  
tact your Toshiba dealer.

Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control  
The life of the batteries depends on how often and how long you  
use the remote. Symptoms of low battery charge include erratic  
responses when using the remote and a reduced range of opera-  
tion.  
Follow these steps to replace the batteries:  
1 Turn the remote face down in your hand.  
2 Slide the battery cover off the end of the remote.  
3 Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environ-  
mentally proper manner.  
4 Install two new AAA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install  
each in the correct direction.  
Using the Kensington Lock  
The projector has a Kensington Security Standard connector for  
use with a Kensington MicroSaver Security System (Figure 22).  
See “Optional Accessories” on page 37 for ordering information.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer  
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer Pow-  
erBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same informa-  
tion that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When  
video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.  
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:  
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.  
2 Set the number of colors you want.  
3 Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.  
4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”  
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control  
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.  
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as  
slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black  
and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:  
1 Turn off video mirroring.  
2 Open the Monitors control panel.  
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as  
the primary monitor.  
4 Restart the PowerBook.  
Using SimulScan  
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor  
or projector differently than previous ones. When using  
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that  
appears on your PowerBook  
To select SimulScan:  
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and  
Sound.  
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click  
OK.  
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.  
Click OK to confirm the change.
