Frequently Asked Questions - TDP-P6 TOSHIBA

How do I replace the lamp on the Toshiba TDP-P6?
Turn off the projector and unplug it. Wait 45 minutes for the lamp to cool. Unscrew the lamp cover on the bottom. Remove the old lamp module by loosening the two screws. Install the new lamp module, tighten screws, and replace the cover. Reset the lamp timer via the menu: select Lamp Reset and confirm.
What is the maximum screen size for this projector?
The Toshiba TDP-P6 can project an image from 30 to 300 inches (0.76 to 7.62 meters) diagonally, depending on the distance. For a 100-inch screen, place the projector approximately 3 to 4 meters away.
Can I connect my laptop to the TDP-P6?
Yes, connect your laptop using a standard VGA cable (included) to the Computer In port. If your laptop has HDMI, you will need an HDMI-to-VGA adapter. The projector also supports USB mouse control via the USB port.
Why is my Toshiba TDP-P6 overheating and shutting down?
Check if the air intake or exhaust vents are blocked. Clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner or replace it if dirty. Ensure the projector is placed in a well-ventilated area with at least 30 cm clearance on all sides. If the problem persists, the internal fan may be faulty.
How do I clean the air filter?
Turn off and unplug the projector. Locate the air filter cover on the side or bottom (refer to manual). Remove the filter and gently vacuum the dust from both sides. If heavily soiled, replace with a new filter. Do not wash with water or use compressed air as it may damage the filter.
What does the lamp indicator light mean?
A solid red lamp indicator means the lamp has reached the end of its life or is overheating. Flashing red indicates a lamp error. Replace the lamp immediately. If the lamp is new, reset the lamp timer via the menu. If the indicator remains, contact support.
Can I use the projector without the remote control?
Yes, the Toshiba TDP-P6 has a control panel on top with buttons for power, menu, navigation, source, and keystone correction. You can access all basic functions without the remote.
How do I adjust the keystone correction?
Press the Keystone button on the remote or the control panel. Use the arrow keys to adjust vertical keystone until the image is rectangular. The TDP-P6 offers ±20° vertical correction.
What is the expected lamp life of this projector?
The lamp life is approximately 2000 hours in normal mode and 3000 hours in eco mode. Eco mode reduces brightness and fan noise. Replace the lamp when the image becomes dim or the lamp indicator lights up.
How do I reset the lamp timer after replacement?
Go to the Menu, select Options or Settings, then Lamp Reset. Press Enter and confirm by selecting Yes. This clears the lamp hour counter and ensures the projector tracks new lamp usage.

Shutting down the projector

By default, the projector automatically displays a blank screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed.

Screen Save

You can make the blank screen appear after a different time interval using the Settings>System menu. See page 32. There are six time options, ranging from five minutes to 30 minutes with five minute intervals.

Power Save

The projector also has a Power Save feature that, when activated, automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have passed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. See page 31.

Turning off the projector

To turn off the projector, press the power button and verify that you want to turn the projector off by pressing the power button again within 3 seconds. You can cancel the shutdown by not pressing the power button a second time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for 1 minute. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights green. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.

power auto image keystone presets menu selection volume source menu navigation buttons

Using the remote control

The remote uses two (2) provided AAA batteries. They are easily installed by sliding the cover off the remote's back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.

To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).

To use the laser pointer, press and hold the Laser button. The laser turns off when the button is released, or times out after two (2) minutes of continuous operation.

WARNING: Do not look into the laser beam emitted from the top of the remote control.

Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 8 for details on loading the correct USB drivers.

The effect button allows you to invoke a user-definable action, such as freeze or blank the screen (see page 32 to learn to program this button).

Troubleshooting the remote

  • Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not dead. When battery power is adequate, the LED at the top of the remote lights when any button is pressed.
  • Make sure you're pointing the remote at the projector, not the computer, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
  • If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB cable is connected (page 6) and the correct drivers are installed (page 8).

Optimizing computer images

After your computer is connected properly and the computer's image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 27.

  • Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu.
  • Change the Aspect Ratio. Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your input source. See page 28 for details.
  • Adjust the Color Space, Color Temperature, or Color Control in the Advanced menu.
  • Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the Advanced menu.
  • Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these settings later. See page 29.

Presentation features

Several features are provided to make it easier to give presentations. The following is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 27.

  • The remote's Effect button allows you to assign various features to the key. The default effect is About, which displays information about the projector and current source. You can select from Blank, Mute, Aspect Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, Zoom, and About. See page 32 for details.
  • The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is useful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audience seeing them.
  • The Startup Logo and Blank Screen menu options let you change the default startup screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 32.
  • Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to automatically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or display a black screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 31 and page 32.
  • A Lamp Mode option is also available to let you optimize lamp brightness or lamp life. See page 31.

Optimizing video images

After the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information regarding menu usage, see page 27.

  • Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture menu. See page 28.
  • Change the Aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your input source. See page 28.
  • Select a Sharpness setting in the Advanced menu. See page 30.
  • Select a different Color Temperature, or use the Color Control to individually adjust the intensity of the red, green, and blue color. See page 30.
  • Select a different Video Standard. Auto tries to determine the standard of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See page 30.
  • Turn overscan on to remove noise around the video image. See page 30.
  • Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these settings later. See page 29.

Customizing the projector

You can customize the projector for your specific setup and needs. See page 31 to page 33 for details on these features.

  • For rear projection, turn Rear mode on in the Settings>System menu.
  • Specify which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up.
  • Specify the function of the Effect Key on the remote.
  • Turn the projector's display messages on and off.
  • Turn on power saving features.
  • Specify blank screen colors and startup logos.
  • Specify the menu language.
  • Specify a lamp mode to optimize either brightness or lamp life.
  • Prevent your computer from entering Screen Save mode.
  • Save settings for the active source as a preset.

Using the menus

To open the menus, press the Menu button on the keypad. (The menus automatically close after 60 seconds if no buttons are pressed.) The Main menu appears. Use the arrow buttons to move up and down to highlight the desired submenu, then press the Select button.

To change a menu setting, highlight it, press Select, then use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the value, select an option using radio buttons, or turn the feature on or off using check boxes. Press Select to confirm your changes. Use the arrows to navigate to another setting. When your adjustments are complete, navigate to Previous, then press Select to go to the previous menu; select Exit or press the Menu button at any time to close the menus.

Dots appear before the menu name. The number of dots indicate the menu's level, ranging from one (the Main menu) to four (the most nested menus).

The menus are grouped by usage:

  • The Picture menu provides image adjustments.
  • The Settings menu provides set-up type adjustments that are not changed often.
  • The About menu provides a read-only display of information about the projector and source.

Certain menu items may be hidden until a particular source is connected. For example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and will be hidden when a computer source is active. Other menu items may be grayed out when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed out until an image is active.

Presets: The provided Presets optimize the projector for displaying computer presentations, film images, and video images. (Film input is material originally captured on a film camera, like a movie; video input is material originally captured on a video camera, like a TV show or sporting event.) You can use the preset as a starting point, then further customize the settings for each source. The settings you customize are saved in the preset for each source. To restore the factory default settings, choose Factory Reset in the Settings>Service menu.

There are also three user-definable presets. To set a preset for the current source, adjust the image, select Save Settings in the Presets menu, then choose Save User 1, 2, or 3. You can recall these settings in the future by selecting the appropriate user presets.

Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video image. Select a sharpness setting.

Color Space: (computer sources only) allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the input. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose either RGB, REC709 or REC601.

Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed setting.

Color Control: allows you to individually modify each color. Highlight the color, press Select, then use the arrows to adjust the value.

Video Standard: (video sources only) When it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the video standard 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 standard, the colors may not look right or the image may appear "torn." If this happens, manually select a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.

Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image.

The following 4 options are for computer sources only.

Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source.

Audio: allows volume adjustments. You can also adjust volume from the keypad.

Sources: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key when using certain optional remotes. Also allows selection of a default Power-up Source and enables or disables Autosource. When Autosource is not checked, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. If no source is found, a blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked, Power-up Source determines which source the projector defaults to at power-up. If no signal is present, the projector checks the sources in order until a source is found or until power down.

Power-up Source: determines which source (computer or video) the projector checks first for active video during power-up.

System menu

Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent screen.

Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector turns on when power is applied and turns off if a source becomes inactive.

Display Messages: displays status messages (such as "Searching" or "Mute") in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Lamp Mode: allows you to optimize the lamp mode for your specific use. The default is High Bright, which maximizes the light output. Select Long Life to maximize lamp life and minimize fan noise, or Nominal to balance brightness, lamp life, and fan noise.

NND (Notebook No-Doze): prevents your notebook computer from going into Screen Save mode (functions only when the USB connector is plugged in).

Power Save: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed.

TOSHIBA TDP-P6 - System menu - 1

Screen Save: automatically blanks the screen with a black color after no signals are detected for a preset number of minutes (the default is 30 minutes). The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Screen Save is disabled when Power Save is enabled.

Startup Logo: allows you to display a blank Black, White, or Blue screen instead of the default screen at startup and when no source is detected.

Blank Screen: determines what color displays when no source is active.

Effect Key: allows you to assign a different function to the Effect button on the remote to quickly and easily use the effect. Only one effect can be enabled at a time. Highlight an effect and press Select to choose a different one.

Blank: shows an empty screen.

Mute: turns off all sound.

Aspect Ratio: sets the ratio of the image width to image height.

Source: cycles through the available sources.

Auto Image: causes sources to be reacquired.

Freeze: pauses the projected image.

Zoom: lets you magnify a part of the screen. This feature only works if you purchase an optional remote control with mouse buttons and cursor control. To use the Zoom effect, press Effect, then press the left button to zoom the image, press the right mouse decrease the magnification. You can use the cursor control to pan the image, displaying different parts of it (only if the image is magnified). To return to the original size and cancel Zoom, press the Effect button a second time.

Cleaning the lens

I Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don't apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.

2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you don't intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Replacing the projection lamp

The lamp hour timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Fifty hours before the specified end of the lamp's life, the message "Change lamp" briefly appears on the screen at each startup. After 50 additional hours, the lamp will no longer light. You can order new lamp modules from your dealer.

I Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.

3 Turn the projector upside down and loosen the two screws on the lamp door. Pry the door straight up to disengage the power interrupt connector (located on the underside of the door) and remove the lamp door. Be sure to pry the door straight up, not at an angle, to avoid damaging the power interrupt connector.

NOTE: The projector will not turn on while the lamp door is removed.

4 Pull the pull tab on the lamp module up to release the catch.
5 Pinch the lamp cable's connector tabs to release the catch while pulling firmly on the connector to unplug the lamp.

WARNINGS:

• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp.

- Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.

- Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection sharpness.

- Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when removing it.

6 Carefully remove the lamp module. Note that the lens end of the module has a tab that connects in a slot in the bottom of the lamp cavity. You must pull upward with enough force to disconnect the tab from the slot. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.

7 Install the new lamp module. Slide the new module straight down over the tunnel/hood, align the tab with the slot, then press to connect.

8 Re-latch the pull tab while pressing down on the lamp module.

9 Re-plug in the lamp cable.

10 Replace the lamp door by aligning the connector on the back of the door with the projector and replacing the two lamp door screws.

11 Plug in the power cable, then press the Power button to turn the projector back on. Reset the lamp hour timer by simultaneously holding down the two Volume keys on the projector's keypad for 10 seconds. At that point the LED will turn green and you can power on the projector. You can also navigate to the Settings>Service menu and select Lamp Reset to reset the lamp timer.
