Adjusting	Horizontal/Vertical	Position	[HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL]
Adjusts	the	image	location	horizontally	and	vertically.
NOTE:	The	[HORIZONTAL]	and	[VERTICAL]	items	are	not	available	for	VIDEO,	HDMI1,	HDMI2,	USB-A,	LAN,	and	USB-B.
-	 An	image	can	be	distorted	during	the	adjustment	of	[CLOCK]	and	[PHASE].	This	is	not	malfunction.
-	 The	 adjustments	 for	[CLOCK],	 [PHASE],	[HORIZONTAL],	 and	[VERTICAL]	 will	be	stored	 in	memory	 for	the	
current	 signal.	The	 next	 time	 you	project	 the	signal	 with	the	same	 resolution,	 horizontal	and	vertical	 frequency,	
its	adjustments	will	be	called	up	and	applied.
	 To	delete	 adjustments	 stored	in	memory,	 from	the	menu,	 you	select	 [RESET]	→	[CURRENT	 SIGNAL]	or	[ALL	
DATA]	and	reset	the	adjustments.
Selecting	Overscan	Percentage	[OVERSCAN]
This	allows	you	to	set	the	appropriate	overscan	for	an	incoming	signal.
AUTO ���������������������Display an appropriately overscanned image (factory setting)�
OFF  ������������������������Does not overscan the image�
ON  �������������������������Overscans the image�
NOTE:	
•	 The	[OVERSCAN]	item	cannot	be	selected	when	VIDEO	signals	are	used	or	when	[NATIVE]	is	selected	for	[ASPECT	RATIO].

5. Using On-Screen Menu
Selecting Aspect Ratio [ASPECT RATIO]
The	term	“aspect	ratio” 	refers	to	the	ratio	of	width	to	height	of	a	projected	image.
The	projector	automatically	determines	the	incoming	signal	and	displays	it	in	its	appropriate	aspect	ratio.
•	This	table	shows	typical	resolutions	and	aspect	ratios	that	most	computers	support.

OptionsFunction
AUTO
The	 projector	 will	automatically	 determine	the	incoming	 signal	and	display	 it	in	 its	 aspect	
ratio. 	(→ next	page)
The	projector	 may	erroneously	 determine	the	aspect	 ratio	depending	 on	its	signal. 	If	 this	
occurs,	select	the	appropriate	aspect	ratio	from	the	following.
4:3The	image	is	displayed	in	4:3	aspect	ratio.
16:9The	image	is	displayed	in	16:9	aspect	ratio.
15:9The	image	is	displayed	in	15:9	aspect	ratio.
16:10The	image	is	displayed	in	16:10	aspect	ratio.
WIDE	ZOOM
(M402X/M362X/M322X/
M282X/M332XS)
The	image	is	stretched	left	and	right. 	
Parts	of	the	 displayed	 image	are	cropped	 at	the	 left	and	 right	 edges	 and	therefore	 not	
visible.
LETTERBOX
(M402W/M362W/
M322W/M352WS/
M302WS)
The	 image	 of	a	letterbox	 signal	is	stretched	 equally	in	the	 horizontal	 and	vertical	 direc-
tions	to	fit	the	 screen. 	Parts	 of	the	 displayed	 image	are	cropped	 at	the	 top	and	 bottom	
edges	and	therefore	not	visible.
NATIVEThe	projector	 displays	the	current	 image	in	its	 true	 resolution	 when	the	incoming	 computer	
signal	has	a	lower	resolution	than	the	projector’s	native	resolution.
[Example  1]	When 	the 	incoming	
signal 	with 	the 	resolution 	of 	800	
×	 600	 is	displayed	 on	the	 M402X/
M362X/M322X/M282X/M332XS:
[Example 2]	When	 the	incoming	 sig-
nal	with	 the	resolution	 of	800	 ×	600	
is	 displayed	 on	the	 M402W/M362W/
M322W/M352WS/M302WS:
NOTE:
•	 When	a	non-computer	signal	is	displayed,	the	[NATIVE]	is	not	available.
•	 When	 a	signal	 with	a	higher	 resolution	 than	the	projector’s	 native	resolution	 is	displayed,	 [NA-
TIVE]	is	not	available.

•	 The	 term	“letterbox”	 refers	to	a	more	 landscape-oriented	 image	when	compared	 to	a	4:3	 image,	 which	is	the	 standard	 aspect	
ratio	for	a	video	source.
	 The	letterbox	signal	has	aspect	ratios	with	the	vista	size	“1.85:1”	or	cinema	scope	size	“2.35:1”	for	movie	film.
•	 The	term	“squeeze”	refers	to	the	compressed	image	of	which	aspect	ratio	is	converted	from	16:9	to	4:3.
