Connectors and Cable Information, Introduction and Performance Features
Introduction
The McIntosh MDLP1 Video Projector is one of the finest projectors ever created. It utilizes the latest Digital Micromirror Device TM containing over 2 million individual pixels
(1080p) and produces images of such high quality, it’s just like being there.
Performance Features
•DLP Chip
The McIntosh MDLP1 Video Projector incorporates the latest and largest available Digital Light Processing (DLP)
Dark Chip for use in a Home Theater Projector. The large chip size is 0.95 inch and produces a High Definition Image of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
• Advanced Optical System
The light source for the projector is the industry’s only 200
Watt DC Super High Pressure lamp assembly. This assures an image with even illumination, focused from edge to edge and accurate fully saturated colors. The light is filtered by a large 98mm 7-segment color wheel incorporating a Neutral Density Filter Segment which enhances the black level during dark scenes. After the light is reflected by the DLP Chip, it is then precisely focused by a Konica-
Minolta custom designed zoom lens. This lens is fully sealed and consists of 13 all-glass elements. The optics allow screen sizes ranging from 70 inches to 250 inches with a 16:9 wide aspect ratio for the Medium Throw Lens or 80 inches to 300 inches with a 16:9 wide aspect ratio for the
Long Throw Lens.
• Advanced Filter Wheel Design
The color filter wheel spins at 10,800 RPM, making color breakup (rainbow effect) a thing of the past. The quiet filter wheel motor uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing for silent and reliable operation.
• Placement Compensation
The MDLP1 Projector incorporates numerous adjustments, compensating for less then ideal projector/screen positioning. These adjustments include a Lens shift feature for vertically positioning the projection point, digital correction of vertical keystone distortion and projection modes for functional, hanging and rear projection.
• Enhanced Video Processing
The Video Circuitry uses the very latest in processing algorithms to produce an excellent image regardless of the video source, from 480i to 1080p. There is a special 1080p direct pixel pass through mode when the MDLP1 Projector is used with the McIntosh VP1000 Video Processor.
• Video Adjustments
The MDPL1 allows for complete adjustment of all the important image quality effecting parameters, such as Color
Temperature, Gamma and Black Level. There are also user adjustments with the ability to store the settings for future recall, along with three preset modes (Theater, Standard and Dynamic).
• HDMI Connectivity
The MDLP1 has two HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) inputs and accepts 1080p signals.
• Total Component Integration
The MDLP1 is designed to work seamless with the McIntosh VP1000 Video Processor and the McIntosh AP1000
Audio Processor.
• On-Screen Information Displays
The On-Screen Display indicates the Source Selection and
Information about the source signal. The Menu Selections and Adjustments are also displayed on screen.
• Die Cast Internal Chassis
The MDLP1 die cast aluminum internal chassis assures the precise mechanical alignment of the entire hermetically sealed optical light path, which is necessary for a sharp, highly detailed and accurate color image. The die cast chassis also assures low operating noise and also helps to dissipate heat away from the sensitive internal components.
• Machined Top and Bottom Panels
The MDLP1 Top and Bottom Panels are machined from thick aluminum with a smooth black anodized finish.
• Special Power Supply
Fully regulated Power Supplies ensure stable noise free operation even though the power line varies.
• Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination
The even illumination of the Top Panel is accomplished by the combination of a custom designed Fiber Optic Light
Diffuser and a extra long life Light Emitting Diode (LED).
The glass Top Panel ensures the pristine beauty of the
MDLP1 will be retained for many years.

Installation
Installation Overview
For the best possible image reproduction by the McIntosh
MDLP1 Video Projector, it is important to observe the following:
CAUTION: The MDLP1 Video Projector weight is 40 pounds (18.14 kilograms). When mounting the projector to a building structure it is important to follow all of the local building/constuction codes.
1. Decide on a viewing area with either subdued and/ or controlled ambient lighting.
2. Choose a projector screen designed specifically to work with images from a DLP Projector.
3. Locate the position of the MDLP1 Projector relative to the projector screen to maximize image quality and minimize optical distortions.
4. Provide adequate ventilation.
The information below and on the following pages will assist in the location of the Projector. It is recommended that the Professionals at your McIntosh Dealer, who are skilled in all aspects of installation and operation, install the
MDLP1 Video Projector and any associated audio/video equipment.
MDLP1 Bottom View
Primary
Warm Air
Exit
Ventilation
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MDLP1.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MDLP1 directly above a heat generating component. Refer to figures 1 and 2.
The MDLP1 is designed to be placed upright on a solid flat surface, resting on its three feet with unrestricted air flow around it. Allow at least 1 foot (30.48 cm) of space between the Primary Warm Air Exit ventilation holes and the nearest wall or obstruction. There should be at least
3 inches (7.62 cm) between the Primary Cool Air Input ventilation holes and the nearest wall or obstruction. The ambient air temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
The projector uses two primary and three secondary cool air input vents together with one primary warm air exit vent. Refer to the illustration on this page. The air flow in or out of these vents needs to be unrestricted at all times during operation.
In the event the MDLP1 is to be placed into an enclosure restricting air flow around the projector, some type of ducted forced air venting system would need to be implemented for the primary input 1 and 2 vents along with the primary exit vent.

How to Operate the MDLP1
Power
The Red LED to the left of the STANDBY/ON Push-button lights to indicate the MDLP1 is in Standby mode. To
Switch ON the MDLP1, press the STANDBY/ON Pushbutton on the Projector Control Panel or the Projector ON
Push-button using the Remote Control. The Green LED to the right of the STANDBY/ON Push-button lights to indicate the MDLP1 is ON. Refer to figures 14 and 15.
Notes: 1. It is normal for the projector lamp warm up period to last about a minute before an image appears on the screen.
2. If the Initial Setup for the MDLP1 has not yet been performed refer to page 14 at this time.
Figure 14
Source Selection
The default Source Select for the MDLP1 Projector is the
COMPonent 1 Input. There is an additional Component
Video Input (COMP 2) along with two HDMI Inputs.
Select the desired source using the push-buttons located on the Projector Control Panel or on the PROJ INPUT Pushbuttons located on the Remote Control. Refer to figures 14 and 15.
Note: Whenever possible use HDMI connections between the source device output to the MDLP1 Input. This will yield better image quality, as the video signal will go through one less analog to digital conversion process and possibly one less digital to analog conversion process as well.
Image Adjustments and Setting changes
All of the electronic based image adjustments and processing settings are performed by using the extensive
On-Screen Menuing System. The
On-Screen Menuing System is interactive and the ability to change a given setting is dependent on the Input selected, the presence of a video signal for that input, the Picture Mode selected and are automatically saved for the currently selected video input. When a menu item is “grayed out” it can not be changed until either another Input is selected, a signal is present or a different Picture mode is selected.
The selection of a menu item and the available choices/adjustments are performed by using the
Navigation (◄LEFT, ►RIGHT,
▲UP or ▼DOWN) Push-buttons along with the ENTER/SELECT
Push-buttons located on the Projector Control Panel and/or using the Remote Control Push-buttons.
The following examples will illustrate how to use the
On-Screen Menuing System by performing the Display Installation Orientation, Display Vertical
Keystone Adjustment and Remote
Control Configuration. All of the remaining menu options are performed in a similar manner.
