cifically designed for the mobile presenter. It generates crisp,
clear SVGA 800x600 images using Digital Light Processing™
(DLP) technology. The projector is easy to connect, easy to use,
and easy to maintain. The soft carry case makes it easy to trans-
port the 7.4 pound projector.
NOTE: The projector automati-
cally expands 640x480 images to

The SVGA resolution of the TDP-S1’s projected image is 800x600.
Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are com-
pressed to 800x600. The projector cannot compress screen resolu-
tions 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 at 75 Hz

•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.
•This projector is not intended for use in mainframe computer
rooms as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Elec-
tronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

Setting up the Projector
Connecting a Video Player
1If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video
connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with
the projector.
NOTE: HDTV sources are
connected to the projector using
the CableWizard Lite cable. See
the previous page for details.
•If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video con-
nector, you’ll need the S-video cable in addition to the A/V
cable.
2Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out”
port on your video player (Figure 7). This port may be labeled
“To Monitor.”
•If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “s-video
out” connector on the video player (Figure 8).
3Plug the other yellow connector into the composite connector
on the back of the projector.
•If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into
the “s-video” connector on the projector (Figure 8).

4Plug the A/V cable’s white connector into the left “audio out”
port on your video player. Plug the cable’s red connector into
the right “audio out” port on the video player (Figure 7 and
Figure 8).
CAUTION: Your video player
may also have a “Video Out” port
for a coaxial cable connection.
DO NOT use this to connect to the
projector.
•If you’re using an S-video cable, the yellow connectors on
the A/V cable remain unused (Figure 8).

left and right “audio in” ports on the projector.
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, and SECAM.
It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for the
incoming video. The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, and
PAL-N video are similar to other video signals and cannot be
automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen manually.
See “Video Standard” on page 23 for details.

Setting up the Projector
Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image
NOTE: Always use the power cord
that shipped with the projector.
1Remove the lens cap.
2Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it
into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.
3Turn on the projector by pressing the “I” side of the power
switch (see Figure 2 on page 3).
•The startup screen displays and the Power LED on top of
the projector lights up (Figure 11 on page 15).
4If you connected a video player, turn it on.
•The video image should display on the projection screen. If
a computer source is active, press the source button on the
keypad (page 15) to display your video image. You can
select a default source to determine which source the pro-
jector examines first during power-up for active video; see
“Default Source” on page 24.
•Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume.
5Turn on your computer.
•The computer image should display on the projection
screen. (If a video source is active, press the source button
on the keypad (page 15) to display your computer’s image.)
Make sure your computer’s external video port is activated;
see “Portable and Computer Activation Chart” on page 39
for details.
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.
•If necessary, make adjustments to the image from the pro-
jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the
menu button on the keypad, then select the Display or
Image sub-menu. For more information about the menus,
see page 17.

11
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. 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 minutes, the
lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit standby
mode, press the standby button again. (It may take several sec-
onds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project the
image again.)
To completely power off the projector, press the “O” side of the
power switch on the side of the projector. If you want to turn the
projector back on immediately, you must allow about a minute
for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.
CAUTION: When you discon-
nect the projector after you have
switched it off, always remove the
power cord from the electrical out-
let first, then remove it from the
projector.

USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad buttons and
the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
1Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right
order (page 10).
2If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image
(page 14), adjust the height of the projector (page 14) 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.
3If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 14).
4If 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.
5If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 18).
