IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Save Original Packing Materials

The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to

ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at

the factory.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.

When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the

crucial internal parts. To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not use the unit for at

least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature.

Place and Manner of Installation

• Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause mal-

function, and shorten the life of the projector.

• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, shortening

their lives, and darkening the screen.

• Do not use in angle of 20∞ or more degrees. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.

• If used at high altitudes, the unit could cease operation even if used within the rated tempera-

ture range. This is because the thinner air at high altitudes decreases the internal cooling

efficiency. Therefore, please lower the ambient temperature if using at high altitudes.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Avoid Volatile Liquid

Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or

plastic products touching the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

the battery side. If the battery is forced to insert in this

way, the outer label of the battery may get ripped and it

may cause short-circuit and heating.

3. Attach the rear lid.

• Use two size-AAA dry batteries (RO3).

• Exchange the two batteries to new ones if the distance

that allows the remote controller to operate becomes

shorter than usual.

• Correctly treat the batteries after thoroughly reading "On treating the batteries" described on Page 7.

If the batteries are treated incorrectly, they may cause fire or peripheral contamination due to leakage

of the liquid, heating, or burst. (Read the cautions indicated on the battery, too.)

• This projector is designed as plug-in equipment. There must be an easily accessible power outlet near

the installed projector.

• Use the attached power cord with this projector. Using any other power cord than specified could

cause electromagnetic interference to radio or television broadcast.

• Use the attached mini D-SUB 15pin-DVI conversion cable and RS-232C cable to suppress the inter-

ference within the restriction for J55022 class-B apparatus.

• Use a DVI shielded cable to suppress the interference within the restriction for J55022 class-B appa-

ratus.

PREPARATION

SETTING UP

Setting up screen

Set the screen perpendicular to the projector. If the screen can not be set perpendicularly, adjust the

projection angle of the projector. (See below.)

•Adjust the screen or projector so that the shadow of the projector lens may be projected onto the center of the

screen.

•Do not place the screen where the direct sunlight and illuminating lights come onto the screen. Direct light

illumination onto the screen could whiten the screen surface making the projected picture images bad to see.

Basic setup

Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the picture images to be

projected. (See Page 14 and 15.)

Screen

Size of projected picture

images (Width)

•As for the locations for the setup, read "Be sure to observe the followings for safety" described on Pages 4 to 7

in advance.

Adjusting projection angle

If a part of the projected picture image lies off the

edge of the screen, adjust the projection height or

the projection angle as follows:

1. Lift up the projector up to the desired projection

angle by hands.

•Set the projector within a tilt angle of 15 degrees.

2. Press up the left and right angle adjusting buttons.

3. Release the hands from the angle adjusting but-

tons and projector.

5. Slowly lift down the projector by pressing the left

and right angle-adjusting buttons while holding the

projector by hands.

•It is also possible to adjust the projection angle by turn-

ing the angle adjusting foot (rear) to the lift or right.

If the projected image frame is distorted

to a trapezoid:

If the screen and the projector are not set perpen-

dicular to each other, the projected image frame be-

comes trapezoidal.If it is not possible to bring them

into positions perpendicular to each other by any

mechanical adjustments, adjust the value for trapezoi-

dal correction in the setup menu. (See Page 19.)

•If the "trapezoidal correction" is applied, the as-

pect ratio may not be adjusted correctly in some

cases.

•If the "trapezoidal correction" is applied, the reso-

lution of the projected image will be reduced. Also,

moire fringes on fine-pattern images or drooping

of straight lines in the images will appear. There-

fore, try to set the screen and the projector per-

pendicular to each other as much as possible.

4. By turning the angle adjusting foot (front) to the

left or right, make fine adjustment so that the pro-

jected image frame may be in parallel with the

sides of the screen.

On color temperatures

There is various degree of white color. One of the methods of representing degree of white color is color

temperatures. White color of low color temperature is reddish white, and that of high color temperature is

bluish white. In this projector, the color temperatures are set by varying each gain and bias of R (red), G

(green), and B (blue) signal.

To make the color temperature higher:

Set the value of B-gain (or B-bias) larger, and the value of R-gain (or R-bias) smaller.

To make the color temperature lower:

Set the value of R-gain (or R-bias) larger, and the value of B-gain (or B-bias) smaller.

One method of adjusting color temperatures is to make use of person’s skin color. Project a large still

picture of human face on the screen, and adjust the color tone of the face so that it may look favorable

(generally, it may look healthy).

Åú Generally, the gains are used to adjust bright pictures, and the biases are used to adjust dark pictures.

Åú Using the biases is effective in adjusting color of monotone pictures. (It is especially effective for

adjusting dark to intermediate portions.) For example, when the green is relatively strong, decrease the

value of R-bias, or increase the values of both B-bias and R-bias evenly. Also, when the projected images

are bluish, decrease the value of B-bias, and when they are reddish, decrease the value of R-bias. In this

way, favorable picture quality can be obtained.

REPLACING THE LAMP / CLEANING THE PROJECTOR



(a)

Holder

(b)

The light-source lamp is stored in the projector to project picture images on screen. The light-source lamp is a

consumable part. It may go off or its brightness may decrease during use. In these cases, replace the lamp to new

one in good time. For the replacement, be sure to use the light-source lamp that is sold exclusively for TDP-MT500.

Purchase the lamp from the delivery agent of the projector.

Warning

• Before replacing the light-source lamp, be sure to turn off the main power switch and unplug the power plug.

Replacing the lamp without turning off the main power switch can cause electric shock.

• When replacing the light-source lamp, be cautious not to drop the screws fixing the lamp into the inside of the

projector. Do not put any metal pieces or easily flammable things in the projector. If the projector is operated

containing foreign matters, electric shock or fire may be caused. If users can not take out the foreign matters

inside, ask a repair front of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to take them out.

• Securely fix the light-source lamp. If it is not fixed properly, it will not come on and may cause fire.

• Never shake the replaced light-source lamp or bring it over face. The lamp may be broken and its broken glass

pieces may be scattered or enter human eyes causing injuries.

• Do not replace the light-source lamp immediately after its use, because it is very hot and may cause burn. Turn

off the power button to put off the lamp, and wait about 2 minutes until the cooling fan comes to a complete stop.

Then, turn off the main power switch and unplug the power plug. After more than one hour has passed and the

lamp has been thoroughly cooled down, replace the lamp.

Caution

In this projector, a LAMP indicator blinks after the light-source lamp has been used more than 1000 hours.

When the lamp has been used more than 1300 hours, a warning appears on the screen every time the power

is turned on. After more than 1500 hours of use, the power for the lamp is automatically turned off and the

lamp can not be used any more. Then, replace the lamp to new one as soon as possible.

• Do not remove the light-source lamp except when it is replaced. Otherwise, removing it may cause a failure.

• As the light-source lamp, the high-pressure mercury lamp is used. The high-pressure mercury lamp may burst

with a disruptive sound, if it is shocked or scratched, or if the lamp deteriorates while being used. Also, it may

stop lighting when it comes to its life end. The lapse of time until each lamp bursts or stops lighting, if it occurs,

depends on the characteristics or use condition of each lamp. Therefore, there is a possibility that it may burst

by chance even in a short time after its start of use.

• The possibility of burst of the high-pressure mercury lamp increases if it is used beyond its replacement period.

When the indication of lamp replacement appears, immediately replace the lamp to new one if the lamp is

lighting normally.

• If the high-pressure mercury lamp bursts, the fragments of the glass valve may scatter in and out of the lamp

box, or the gas filled in the valve may come out of the ventilation outlet. The gas filled in the high-pressure

mercury lamp contains mercury vapor. Be extremely cautious not to inhale the gas or bring the gas into eyes or

mouths. If the gas should be inhaled or brought into eyes or mouths, consult a doctor immediately.

• If the high-pressure mercury lamp bursts, fragments of the glass valve are scattered inside of the projector. It is

recommended to ask a service outlet of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to replace the light-source lamp and

check the interior of the projector. When users make the cleaning and the replacement of the lamp for them-

selves, be sure to turn the main unit upside down and do it holding the lamp holder. Otherwise, the broken glass

pieces of the lamp may cause injuries.

How to replace the lamp:

1 Turn the unit upside down.

2 Undo the screw fixing the lamp cover (a)

with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the

lamp cover from the unit.

3 Undo the three screws fixing the lamp box

with the Phillips screwdriver.

the unit for more than 3 seconds.

•If the three buttons are not pressed simultaneously, the lamp-used-

hours may not be reset.

•If the lamp-used-hours have exceeded 1500 hours and the lamp has been replaced, it is not possible to turn on

the new light-source lamp until the lamp-used-hours are reset.

•Do not reset the lamp-used-hours if the lamp is not replaced.

Cleaning dust in the intake vent

If dust is accumulated in the intake vent, the temperature in the projec-

tor goes up abnormally, and may

damage the internal parts. Also, the light-source lamp may come off to

protect the internal parts. Clean up

the dust with a vacuum cleaner about once a year.

Cleaning the projector

Softly wipe off dirt on the projector with a soft cloth.

•If the dirt is thick, wipe it off with a cloth soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water, and then finish with a dry

cloth.

•If any pesticide is sprayed over the projector, or if the projector is wiped with benzine or thinner, or if rubber or

vinyl products are brought into contact with the projector for a long period of time, the painting of the projector

may change in quality or removed.

Cleaning the lens

Remove dust or dirt on the lens with a commercially available lens cleaning kit (blower, brush, and the

like).

•Because the surface of the lens is easily scratched, do not rub or hit the surface with anything hard.

Picture images are not

projected on screen.

Projected images sud-

denly disappear.

Check/Countermeasure

•Check whether the indicators are on or off and how they are lighting.

•In some cases it takes about one minute to put the lamp on.

•On rare occasions, the lamp fails to come on. Then, turn on the lamp again after a few minutes.

•If the projector finished operation without sufficient cooling, the cooling fan is turning and the follow-

ing operation of the main power button may not work after the main power was turned on. (At this

time POWER indicator blinks in orange.) After the fan has stopped turning, press the power button

again to turn on the indicator in orange.

•Check if the intake vent is not blocked with anything.

•Check to be sure that the lamp cover is closed. (See Page 32 and 33.)

•Check if the cable connecting the projector and external equipment is not broken.

•When an extension cable is used, replace it with the attached cable for checking. If picture images

are normally projected with the attached cable, employ an RGB signal amplifier together with the

extension cable.

•This phenomenon may occur if the intake vent and/or exhaust vent is blocked with any-

thing.

(At this time TEMP (temperature) indicator is lighting in red.)

–After removing those things blocking the intake vent and/or exhaust vent, execute the

followings:

1 Wait until the intake/exhaust fan stops turning. (Wait until TEMP (temperature) indica-

tor comes off.)

2 Turn off the main power switch.

3 Wait about 10 minutes.

4 Turn on the main power switch.

5 Press POWER button.

WHEN ASKING INSTALLATION WORK

In the case of suspending the projector from

ceiling and viewing the projected images from

the front side:

When suspending the projector from ceiling, use the

separately sold dedicated metal bracket (see Page 38).

Also, be sure to ask a special worker who received train-

ing of the installation work to do the work. Consult

the delivery agent of the projector about the details of

the installation work.

•If the projector is damaged by using any other suspension

bracket than the dedicated one or due to any problem of the

environment in which the suspension metal bracket is in-

stalled, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will not compensate

the damage even if the product is still under warranty.

Dimensional drawings (for references)

•In the case of the suspension from ceiling, set the projection

method in the setting menu to “Ceiling suspension”. Refer

to Page 27 for the detail.

•Ask the installation worker to provide a power breaker for

the projector. When the projector is not used, be sure to turn

off the main power for the projector with the breaker.

•Where the projector is suspended from ceiling, the bright-

ness of the projected images may be less brighter than where

it is set on floor. However, this is not a failure.

•Do not install the projector where its exhaust vent is directly

exposed to the wind from an air conditioner or the like. Such

installation may cause failures of the projector.

•Do not install the projector near a fire alarm, because hot air

is exhausted form the vent of the projector.

In the case of installing the projector so that the

picture images are projected onto a semitranspar-

ent screen and viewed them from the rear side of

the screen:

When installing the projector, be sure to ask a special

worker who received training of the installation work.

Consult the delivery agent of the projector about the

details of the installation work.

•When viewing projected images from the rear side of

the screen, set the projection method in the setting

menu to “Rear”. Refer to Page 27 for the detail.

SPECIFICATIONS (The specifications and outside appearance of the projector are sub-

ject to change without prior notice. Please be notified in advance.)

•The maximum resolution of this projector is 1024 x 576 dots. It is not possible to obtain more than the maxi-

mum resolution for projected images.

•If picture images of a connected computer have a resolution and sync frequency other than those

indicated in the above table, they may be projected by changing the resolution and frequency within

the computer.

•Because XGA60 signal and SVGA60 signal are in conformity with HTPC, they are projected with em-

phasis on picture quality, and the projected images become a little dark. The other PC input signals

are projected with emphasis on brightness.

•1080i represents Hi-Vision.

•COMPONENT 1,2 input does not deal with RGB signals.

•DVI-ANALOG input does not deal with chrominance signals.

•If signals out of specification input, they may not be projected properly.

•If VGA60 signal outputs at the startup of the computer, the projected image may not be displayed properly–for

example, the position of the displayed image may be shifted. However, this is not a failure (non-compliant

signal).
