Adjusting	Clock	and	Phase	[CLOCK/PHASE]
This	allows	you	to	manually	adjust	CLOCK	and	PHASE.
CLOCK �������������������Use this item to fine tune the computer image or to remove any vertical banding that might appear � This 
function adjusts the clock frequencies that eliminate the horizontal ban\
ding in the image�
This adjustment may be necessary when you connect your computer for the first time�
PHASE �������������������Use  this  item  to  adjust  the  clock  phase  or  to  reduce  video  noise,  dot  interference  or  cross  talk�  (This  is 
evident when part of your image appears to be shimmering�)
Use [PHASE] only after the [CLOCK] is complete�
NOTE:	The	[CLOCK]	and	[PHASE]	items	are	available	for	RGB	signals	only.

-	 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

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.

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

LETTERBOX
(M300W/M260W)The	 image	 of	a	letterbox 	signal 	is	 stretched 	equally 	in	 the	 horizontal 	and	 vertical 	directions

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 �

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.

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.
