NOTE:	 To	display	 a	letterbox	 signal	prop-erly,	select	[LETTERBOX].NOTE:	 To	display	 a	squeezed	 signal	prop-erly,	select	[16:9].
TIP:
•	 Image	position	can	be	adjusted	vertically	using	[POSITION]	when	the	[16:9],	[15:9],	or	[16:10]	aspect	ratios	are	selected.
•	 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.
Adjusting	the	 Vertical	Position	of	Image	[POSITION]	(not	available	on	M352WS/M302WS)
(only	when	[16:9],	[15:9],	or	[16:10]	is	selected	for	[ASPECT	RATIO])
When	[16:9],	 [15:9],	or	[16:10]	 is	selected	 in	[ASPECT	 RATIO],	the	image	 is	displayed	 with	black	 borders	 on	the	 top	
and bottom.
You	can	adjust	the	vertical	position	from	the	top	to	the	bottom	of	the	black	area.

Turning on Noise Reduction [NOISE REDUCTION]
This	function	allows	you	to	select	the	level	of	noise	reduction.
The	projector	is	set	to	the	optimized	level	for	each	signal	at	the	factory.
Select	your	preference	item	for	your	signal	when	video	noise	is	noticeable.
The	options	are	[OFF],	[LOW],	[MEDIUM],	and	[HIGH].
NOTE:	This	feature	 is	not	 available	 for	the	 RGB	 signal.	 Noise	reduction	 set	to	off	 gives	 best	image	 quality	 by	way	 of	higher	 bandwidth.	
Noise	reduction	set	to	on	softens	the	image.
Setting Telecine Mode [TELECINE]
This	function	 allows	you	to	convert	 motion	picture	film	images	 into	video. 	The	 process	 adds	additional	 frames	to	the	
picture	in	order	to	increase	the	frame	rate.
NOTE:	This	feature	is	available	only	when	an	SDTV	signal	is	selected.

Selecting Communication Speed [COMMUNICATION SPEED]
This	feature	 sets	the	baud	 rate	of	the	 PC	Control	 port	(D-Sub	 9P).	It	 supports	 data	rates	 from	4800	 to	38400	 bps.	The	
default	 is	38400	 bps.	Select	 the	appropriate	 baud	rate	for	your	 equipment	 to	be	 connected	 (depending	 on	the	 equip-
ment,	a	lower	baud	rate	may	be	recommended	for	long	cable	runs).
NOTE:	Your	selected	communication	speed	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
Setting	ID	to	the	Projector	[CONTROL	ID]
You	can 	operate 	multiple 	projectors 	separately 	and 	independently 	with 	the 	single 	remote 	control 	that 	has 	the 	CONTROL	
ID	 function. 	If	 you	 assign	 the	same	 ID	to	all	 the	 projectors,	 you	can	 conveniently	 operate	all	the	 projectors	 together	
using	the	single	remote	control. 	To	do	so,	you	have	to	assign	an	ID	number	to	each	projector.
CONTROL ID NUMBER �������Select a number from 1 to 254 you wish to assign to your projector �
CONTROL ID �����������������������Select [OFF] to turn off the CONTROL ID setting and select [ON] to turn on the CONTROL ID set -
ting�
NOTE:	
•	 When	[ON]	is	selected	 for	[CONTROL	 ID],	the	projector	 cannot	be	operated	 by	using	 the	remote	 control	that	does	 not	support	
the	CONTROL	ID	function.	(In	this	case	the	buttons	on	the	projector	cabinet	can	be	used.)
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
•		 Pressing	 and	holding	 the	ENTER	 button	on	the	 projector	 cabinet	for	10	seconds	 will	display	 the	menu	 for	canceling	 the	Control	
ID.
Assigning or Changing the Control ID
1.  Turn on the projector.
2.	 Press	the	ID	SET	button	on	the	remote	control.
	 The	CONTROL	ID	screen	will	be	displayed.
	 If	 the	projector	 can	be	operated	 with	the	current	 remote	control	ID,	the	 [ACTIVE]	 will	be	displayed. 	If	 the	 projector	
cannot	 be	operated	 with	the	current	 remote	control	ID,	the	 [INACTIVE]	 will	be	displayed. 	To	 operate	 the	inactive	
projector,	assign	the	control	ID	used	for	the	projector	by	using	the	following	procedure	(Step	3).
3.	 Press	 one	of	numeric	 keypad	buttons	 while	pressing	 and	holding	 the	ID	SET	 button	
on the remote control.
 Example:
	 To	assign	 “3”,	press	the	 “3”	button	on	the	remote	control.
	 No	 ID	means	 that	all	the	 projectors	 can	be	operated	 together	with	a	single	 remote	 control.	
To	set	“No	ID”,	enter	 “000”	or	press	the	CLEAR	button.
TIP:	The	range	of	IDs	is	from	1	to	254.
4.	 Release	the	ID	SET	button.
	 The	updated	CONTROL	ID	screen	will	be	displayed.
NOTE:	
•		 The	IDs	can	be	cleared	in	a	few	days	after	the	batteries	are	run	down	or	removed.
•		 Accidentally	 pressing	any	one	 of	the	 buttons	 of	the	 remote	 control	will	clear	 currently	 specified	ID	with	
batteries	removed.

This	feature	 allows	you	to	adjust	 your	microphone	 sensitivity	when	it	is	 connected	 to	the	 MIC	 input	 jack	of	the	 projec-
tor.	Microphone	 volume	can	be	adjusted	 with	the	VOL. 	(+)	 or	(−)	 button	 on	the	 remote	 control	or	the	◀ or  ▶ on the 
projector	cabinet.
[OPTIONS(1)]
Selecting Fan Mode [FAN MODE]
This	option	allows	you	to	select	three	modes	for	fan	speed: 	Auto	mode,	High	speed	mode,	and	High	Altitude	mode.
AUTO ���������������������The built-in fans automatically run at a variable speed according to the\
 internal temperature�
HIGH ����������������������The built-in fans run at high speed�
HIGH ALTITUDE  �����The built-in fans run at a high speed� Select this option when using the projector at altitudes approximately 
5500 feet/1700 meters or higher �
When	you	wish	to	cool	down	the	temperature	inside	the	projector	quickly,	select	[HIGH].
NOTE:	
•	 It	is	recommended	that	you	select	High	speed	mode	if	you	use	the	projector	non-stop	for	consecutive	days.
•		 Set	[FAN	MODE]	to	[HIGH	ALTITUDE]	when	using	the	projector	at	altitudes	approximately	5500	feet/1700	meters	or	higher.
•	 Using	the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1700	 meters	or	higher	 without	 setting	to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	
the	projector	to	overheat	and	the	protector	could	shut	down.	If	this	happens,	wait	a	couple	minutes	and	turn	on	the	projector.
•		 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 less	than	 approximately	 5500	feet/1700	 meters	and	setting	 to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	 the	
lamp	to	overcool,	causing	the	image	to	flicker.	Switch	[FAN	MODE]	to	[AUTO].
•		 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1700	 meters	or	higher	 can	shorten	 the	life	of	optical	 components	 such	
as	the	lamp.
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
