SPECIFICATIONS Model name P500DL Type 50-inch rear projection unit Acceptable signals Refer to page 13 and page 14. Image device 1 chip XGA Digital Mirror Device Light source 120W UHP lamp Resolution 1024 x 768 dot (Include part hidden with screen frame)
ACCEPTABLE SIGNAL TYPE The following are acceptable input signal types. Projection unit automatically distinguishes mode according to frequency of input signal. All the signals accepted are displayed on screen with 1024x768 dot by internal resolution converter. The Digital Signal Link function may not support NTSC/PAL/SECAM signal supplied from RGB-1 and RGB-2 input terminal.
ACCEPTABLE RGB INPUT SIGNAL TIMING Following are acceptable RGB input signal timings which have been tested by Toshiba. These are timings checked on the RGB input terminals of projection unit. If signal supplied is not exactly the same as one of the followings but is simile to one, it may be accepted by adjustment of projection unit.
CONNECTION AT A MULTI PROJECTION SYSTEM Following is example of connection for a multi-projection system using four projection units. In this example, signal sources are supplied into the Unit-1 and a signal selected by the Unit-1 is supplied from Unit-1 to the Unit-2 through Unit-4 with the Digital Signal Link. The optional wired remote controller is connected to Unit-1 and all Units are controlled by the System Bus Link.
DISASSEMBLY 1. HOW TO REPLACE THE LAMP 1) turn off the power switch and disconnect AC cord. 2) Open lamp door. (1) Remove 2 screws. (2) Open Lamp door. Be careful, lamp door switch is located at door. 3) Remove Old lamp (1) Rotate Lock lever down as picture shows.
Page 18
DIASSEMBLY 4) Attach new lamp (1) Place the lamp housing to the guide rail and insert the lamp. Check if the power supply connector is securely inserted. (2) Lock the lamp housing rotating Lock lever. 5) Attach lamp door. 6) Turn ON the power switch, connect PC with software, Cube commander, or remote control , then enter to the ADJUST mode SPECIAL mode STD thus the lamp timer is reset.

DIASSEMBLY 3. EXPLODED VIEW OF THE PROJECTION BLOCK CAUTION Be careful to prevent the ESD (Electro Static Discharge) before touching the DLP Engine. If ESD happened, important key components including DMD device may easily damaged. This electro-static destruction will not be covered by Texas Instruments guarantee. For ESD prevention, use conductive wrist strap and connect the wire to the metal frame of the projection engine.

DIASSEMBLY 5-1. How to remove the DLP Engine 1) Remove 96-pin connector from the DLP engine. 2) Remove clock connector from the engine. 3) Remove ballast connector from engine. 4) Remove 2 screws of lamp power connector from engine. 5) Remove 5 screws which are used to tighten engine block and remove engine. 5-2.
DIASSEMBLY EXPLODED VIEW OF THE SCREEN BLOCK AND CABINET How to remove the screen block 1) Rotate two screen locks and unlock the screen. 2) Pull up the Tab at both sides as figure shows. 3) Pull the screen block, holding Pull Tabs, so that screen frame can be removed.
ADJUSTMENT 1. DLP Engine adjustment When DLP Engine is replaced, most of occasion, following adjustments are needed. New DLP engine may have some position displacement. The engine mount base has limited adjustment range so that optical engine need to be perfectly adjusted. 1) Adjust the engine mount to the proper positions By rotating the screw (A), obtain 10mm of clearance at (a), then by screw (B), the clearance (b) should be also 10mm.
Page 25
ADJUSTMENT ENGINE MOUNT ADJUSTMENT 1) Use internal test signal, refer to page 28, TEST.P #02, thus full frame image appears on the screen 2) Left to right Trapezoid adjustment can be performed by rotating (C) nut. By doing this Adjustment, horizontal position will move but disregard its movement/position. Obtain parallel image at top and bottom.
Page 26
ADJUSTMENT 5) Vertical position adjustment Both screws (A) and (B) need to adjust the same rotation to the same direction so that vertical position can be changed. 6) Horizontal position adjustment Loosen screw (E). Adjust screw (D) so that horizontal image position can be adjusted. Tighten screw (E) thus the adjustment base will not move.
ADJUSTMENT 3. Electronics Adjustment or Setting Selection or adjustment can be performed using optional Remote Control, model CT-90000 or no obligation, user-risk freeware, 'Cube Commander'. Remote control CT-9956 (for CRT cubes) can also be used even though the keys are labelled differently - please refer to the diagram below.
ADJUSTMENT 3-2. Adjust Mode Press ADJUST to enter Adjust Mode. To exit Adjust Mode press ADJUST twice (one press will request confirmation that you wish to exit Adjust Mode). 3-3. Saving adjustments Pressing WRITING will exit Adjust Mode and save any adjustments made to non-volatile memory.
ADJUSTMENT 3-8. Clock frequency adjustment and phase adjustment Supply fine pitch signal (such as Windows shut-down screen) and adjust CLOCK and PHASE to eliminate moiré and jitter. 3-9. Image position adjustment Initially image position should be adjusted using the mechanical adjustments so that all unmagnified images appear at the same position.
ADJUSTMENT 4. Multiple Screen Wall system (example) Digital Signal Link Unit-3 Unit-4 System Bus Link Signal source Unit-2 Unit-1 Remote controller 5. ID Assignment (example) I.D.s should be assigned before connecting the RS232C control cables and I.D.s must be cleared before they can be re-assigned.
Electronic Circuit Explanation 1. RGB/Control PCB Input signals RGB1 and RGB2 are switched by analogue RGB switch IC, ADG774. VIDEO input is decoded by VPC3230D, auto-switching between PAL and NTSC, the output is 16 bit 4:2:2 YUV. DIGITAL signal is supplied to SII151, single link DVI receiver. Analogue signals are then converted to digital by A-D converter is AD9884.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT EXPLANATION 2. DMD Driver PCB The processed digital signal is sent from the RGB/Control PCB to the DMD Driver PCB via the 96-pin digital signal cable. The TI driver IC controls to signal supplied to the DMD through frame memory buffers. 3.
