Introduction speaker keypad Your new digital projector is easy to connect, use, and maintain. The TDPMT100 is compatible with a wide variety of video devices and computers, including: • Most standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources (1080i, 1035i, and 720P HDTV formats), TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games, and laser disc players. • IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1024x768 resolution.
Positioning the projector • Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. The top illustration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image size” on page 39. • The image exits the projector at a given angle. The image offset is 112.
Connecting a video device You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. There is also an audio input. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the onboard speaker, or you can connect it to your stereo’s receiver to get sound from your own speakers. Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height.
Here is a list of possible input signals and the connectors they should be connected to on the projector: Video connections The next step is to figure out what type of connectors/output the equipment you want to connect has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest quality. Component video has the best quality, followed by S-video, then composite video. If you are connecting the projector to HDTV, the projector’s computer connector should be used.
Video device connections Composite video connection Plug the included video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on your video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video In connector on the projector. Plug the included audio adapter’s white connector into the left audio out connector on your video device; plug the audio adapter’s red connector into the right audio out connector on the video device.
Component video connection connect component cables via component to S-video adapter and audio cables via audio adapter If your video device has component connectors, use the component to S-video adapter. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the projector’s S-video connector. Use the audio adapter as described on the previous page. Component connection offer the highest quality video output.
