[OPTIONS(1)]
Setting	Auto	Adjust	[AUTO	ADJUST]
This	feature	 sets	the	Auto	 Adjust	 mode	so	that	 the	computer	 signal	can	be	automatically	 or	manually	 adjusted	for	
noise	and	stability. 	You	can	automatically	make	adjustment	in	two	ways: 	[NORMAL]	and	[FINE].
OFF ������������������������The computer signal will not be automatically adjusted� You can manually optimize the computer signal�
NORMAL ����������������Default setting� The computer signal will be automatically adjusted� Normally select this option�
FINE  �����������������������Select this option if fine adjustment is needed� It takes more time to switch to the source than when [NOR-
MAL]is selected�
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/1600 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/1600	meters	or	higher.
•	 Using	the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1600	 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/1600	 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/1600	 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.

Selecting	Signal	Format	[SIGNAL	SELECT]
[COMPUTER1],	[COMPUTER2]
Allows	you	to	choose	 [COMPUTER1],	 or	[COMPUTER2]	 for	an	RGB	 source	 such	as	a	computer,	 or	[COMPONENT]	
for	 a	component	 video	source	 such	as	a	DVD	 player. 	Normally	 select	[RGB/COMPONENT]	 and	the	projector	 auto-
matically	detects	a	component	 signal.	However	 there	may	be	some	 component	 signals	that	the	projector	 is	unable	 to	
detect.	If	this	is	the	case,	select	[COMPONENT].
[VIDEO	&	S-VIDEO	System	Select]
This	feature	enables	you	to	select	composite	video	standards	automatically	or	manually.
Normally	select	[AUTO]	and	the	projector	will	automatically	detect	the	video	standard.
In	the	 case	 where	 the	projector	 has	difficulty	 detecting	 the	video	 standard,	 select	the	appropriate	 video	standard	 from	
the menu.
This	must	be	done	for	 VIDEO	and	S-VIDEO	respectively.
Enabling	or	Disabling	 WXGA	Mode	[WXGA	MODE]
Selecting	[ON]	will	give	priority	to	a	 WXGA	(1280	×	768)	signal	in	recognizing	an	input	signal.
When	[WXGA	 MODE]	is	set	 to	[ON],	 an	XGA	 (1024	 ×	768)	 signal	 may	not	be	recognized	 on	M350X/M300X/M260X/
M230X. 	In	this	case,	select	[OFF].
NOTE:	
•	 The	[OFF]	is	selected	at	the	time	of	shipment	of	M350X/M300X/M260X/M230X.

[OPTIONS(2)]
Selecting	Power-saving	in	[STANDBY	MODE]
The	projector	has	two	standby	modes:	[NORMAL]	and	[POWER-SAVING].
The	POWER-SAVING	 mode	is	the	 mode	 that	allows	 you	to	put	 the	projector	 in	the	 power-saving	 condition	which	
consumes	less	power	than	the	NORMAL	mode. 	The	projector	is	preset	for	NORMAL	mode	at	the	factory.
NORMAL ����������������Power indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Green light
POWER-SAVING
  ����Power indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off
The following connectors, buttons or functions will not work during this\
 mode�
- MONITOR OUT (COMP � 1) connector, and AUDIO OUT connector
- LAN and Mail Alert functions
- Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
- Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
- Virtual Remote Tool, USB Display fucntion
NOTE:	
•	 When	[CONTROL	 PANEL	LOCK],	 [CONTROL	 ID],	or	[AUTO	 POWER	 ON(COMP1)]	 is	turned	 on,	the	[STANDBY	 MODE]	setting	is	
not	available.
•	 Even	when	[POWER-SAVING]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE],	power	on	or	off	can	be	done	by	using	the	PC	CONTROL	port.
•	 The	power	consumption	in	the	standby	mode	will	not	be	included	in	calculating	CO2	emission	reduction.
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
Enabling	Auto	Power	On	[AUTO	POWER	ON(AC)]
Turns	the	projector	 on	automatically	 when	the	power	 cord	is	inserted	 into	an	active	 power	 outlet.	This	 eliminates	 the	
need	to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet.

5. Using On-Screen Menu
Turning	On	the	Projector	By	Applying	Computer	Signal	[AUTO	POWER	ON(COMP1)]
When	the	projector	 is	in	 Standby	 mode,	applying	 a	computer	 signal	from	a	computer	 connected	 to	the	 COMPUTER1	
IN	input	will	power	on	the	projector	and	simultaneously	project	the	computer’s	image.
This	 functionality	 eliminates	the	need	 to	always	 use	the	POWER	 button	on	the	 remote	 control	or	the	 projector	 cabinet	
to	power	on	the	projector.
To	use	this	function,	first	connect	a	computer	to	the	projector	and	the	projector	to	an	active	AC	input.
NOTE:	
•	 Disconnecting	 a	computer	 signal	from	the	computer	 will	not	power	 off	the	 projector.	 We	recommend	 using	this	function	 in	com-
bination	of	the	AUTO	POWER	OFF	function.
•	 This	function	will	not	be	available	under	the	following	conditions:
-	 when	a	component	signal	is	applied	to	the	COMPUTER1	IN	connector
-	 when	a	Sync	on	Green	RGB	signal	or	composite	sync	signal	is	applied
•	 To	enable	the	AUTO	POWER	ON	(COMP1)	after	turning	off	the	projector,	wait	3	seconds	and	input	a	computer	signal.
	 If	 a	computer	 signal	is	still	 present	 when	the	projector	 is	turned	 off,	the	AUTO	 POWER	 ON	(COMP1)	 will	not	work	 and	the	projector	
remains	in	standby	mode.
Enabling	Power	Management	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]
When	 this	option	 is	selected	 you	can	 enable	 the	projector	 to	automatically	 turn	off	(at	 the	 selected	 time:	5min.,	 10min.,	
20min.,	30min.)	if	there	is	no	signal	received	by	any	input	or	if	no	operation	is	performed.
Selecting	Default	Source	[DEFAULT	SOURCE	SELECT]
You	can	set	the	projector	to	default	to	any	one	of	its	inputs	each	time	the	projector	is	turned	on.
LAST ����������������������Sets the projector to default to the previous or last active input each \
time the projector is turned on�
AUTO  ���������������������Searches for an active source in order of COMPUTER1  → COMPUTER2 → HDMI → VIDEO  → S-VIDEO  → 
VIEWER → USB DISPLAY →
 COMPUTER1 and displays the first found source�
COMPUTER1  ���������Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER 1 IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
COMPUTER2 ���������Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER 2 IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
HDMI ���������������������Displays the digital source from the HDMI IN connector every time the projector is turned on� 
VIDEO ��������������������Displays the Video source from the VIDEO IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
S-VIDEO  ����������������Displays the Video source from the S-VIDEO IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
