Enhancing	the	Color	[COLOR	ENHANCEMENT]
This		allows	you	to	adjust	the	color	density	of	the	image.
The	color	 of	the	 image	 will	become	 deeper	in	the	 order	 of	"LOW",	 "MEDIUM",	 AND	"HIGH"	 as	the	 displayed	 image	
will	become	darker.
With	"OFF"	selected,	the	COLOR	ENHANCEMENT	function	will	not	work.
NOTE:	This	function	is	available	only	when	[PRESENTATION]	is	selected	[REFERENCE].
Adjusting	 White	Balance	[WHITE	BALANCE]
This	allows	 you	to	adjust	 the	white	 balance. 	Contrast	 for	each	 color	(RGB)	 to	adjust	 the	white	 level	of	the	 screen; 	
Brightness	for	each	color	(RGB)	is	used	to	adjust	the	black	level	of	the	screen.
[CONTRAST]
Adjusts	the	intensity	of	the	image	according	to	the	incoming	signal.
[BRIGHTNESS]
Adjusts	the	brightness	level	or	the	back	raster	intensity.
[SHARPNESS]
Controls	the	detail	of	the	image.
[COLOR]
Increases	or	decreases	the	color	saturation	level.
[HUE]
Varies	the	color	level	from	+/−	green	to	+/−	blue. 	The	red	level	is	used	as	reference.

[IMAGE OPTIONS]
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�

5. Using On-Screen Menu
Adjusting	Horizontal/Vertical	Position	[HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL]
Adjusts	the	image	location	horizontally	and	vertically.
-	 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]

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
(UM361X/UM301X)
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
(UM351W/UM301W)
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	 UM361X/
UM301X:
[Example	 2]	When 	the 	incoming	
signal	 with	the	resolution	 of	800	 ×	
600	 is	displayed	 on	the	 UM351W/
UM301W:
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.
