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.
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.
Image Resolution
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.

make sure all are included. Contact your Toshiba dealer imme-
diately if anything is missing.

plete details on connecting and operating the projector, refer to

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.
