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 Im-

age 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 fil-

tered by a large 98mm 7-segment color wheel incorporat-

ing 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 al-

low 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.

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.

Installation

For the best possible image reproduction by the McIntosh

MDLP1 Video Projector, it is important to observe the fol-

lowing:

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 rela-

tive 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 as-

sist 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.

Installation Overview

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 fig-

ures 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 enclo-

sure restricting air flow around the projector, some type of

ducted forced air venting system would need to be imple-

mented for the primary input 1 and 2 vents along with the

primary exit vent.
