Projector Overview This section describes the features of the projector, and explains the functions of the projector and remote controller keys. Projector Features and Main Functions XJ-M140/XJ-M145/XJ-M150/XJ-M155/XJ-M240/XJ-M245/XJ-M250/XJ-M255 z A laser and LED hybrid light source provides high brightness of 2,500 to 3,000 lumens along with low power consumption and low heat generation.
XJ-M145/XJ-M155/XJ-M245/XJ-M255 z Projection of Data from USB Memory or a Memory Card without a Computer: USB memory or a memory card (using a commercially available USB card reader) can be connected directly to the projector’s USB port. The projector comes with special software for converting PowerPoint presentation data to a format that can be stored to USB memory or a memory card and projected without using a computer. Images and movies also can be projected directly from USB memory or a memory card.
Remote Controller and Projector Keys Operations in this manual are presented based on the remote controller that comes with the projector. Major operation keys are also provided on the projector unit, so the most of the same procedures can also be performed directly on the projector.

Operation During Projection Selecting the Input Source Turning on the projector initially causes the same input source that was selected the last time it was turned off to be selected. To select a different input source 1. Press the [INPUT] key. z This displays the input source selection screen. 2. Select either the Normal Input Mode or 3D Input Mode depending on the type of image you want to project. z For details about the 3D Input Mode, see the explanation in the following section. 3.
Entering the 3D Input Mode 1. Press the [INPUT] key to display the input source selection screen. 2. Select Computer (RGB), S-video, or Video as the input source. 3. Use the [T] and [S] keys to move the highlighting to “To 3D input mode” and then press the [ENTER] key. z This enters the 3D input mode and closes the input source selection screen. Important! z You cannot select HDMI or USB as the input source in the 3D input mode.
Image Operations During Projection You can perform the following operations while projecting an image.
Selecting the Color Mode You can select from among various different color mode settings in accordance with image contents and projection conditions. Important! The color mode cannot be selected in the following cases. z When “Off” is selected for the Eco Mode setting (page 18) z When the projector is in the 3D input mode. See “3D Input Mode” (page 10). To change the color mode 1. Press the [COLOR MODE] key. z This displays the color mode selection window.
Momentarily Cutting Off the Input Source Image 1. Press the [BLANK] key. z This temporarily cuts off the image from the input source and projects a black screen in its place. 2. To resume projection of the image from the input source, press the [BLANK] key (or [ESC] key). Note You can specify projection of a black screen or blue screen, or a logo. For details, see “Blank Screen” under “Screen Settings Main Menu” on page 32. Freezing an Image Pressing the [FREEZE] key freezes the projected image.
Displaying a Pointer in the Projected Image You can select from among different pointer styles, including various arrow styles, for display in the projected image. Pointers can be used during a presentation to indicate or highlight a specific part of the image. Note Depending on the pointer style you are using, the pointer may not display properly when you are using keystone correction. If this happens, use the [KEYSTONE +] and [KEYSTONE –] keys to change the keystone correction value to zero.
Changing the aspect ratio of the projected image Press the [ASPECT] key to cycle through the aspect ratio settings for the projected image. Available settings depend on your projector model as shown below. For details about the meaning of each setting, see the “Aspect Ratio” setting under “Screen Settings Main Menu” on page 31. XJ-M240/XJ-M245/XJ-M250/XJ-M255 Pressing the [ASPECT] key will cycle through settings in accordance with the current input source as shown below.
Adjusting the Volume Level You can use the remote controller keys to adjust the volume level of the audio that is output from the projector’s speaker. To adjust the volume level 1. Press the [VOLUME] key. z This causes the [Volume] screen to appear on the projected image. 2. Press the [X] key to increase the volume, or the [W] key to lower the volume. 3. After the setting is the way you want, press the [ESC] key. z This causes the [Volume] screen to disappear.
Eco Mode (Power Saving, Low Noise) The following three Eco Mode settings are available to specify whether priority should be given to low-power, low-noise operation or to projection brightness. On (Auto) : A brightness sensor on the top of the projector senses surrounding light, and automatically adjusts projection brightness and color accordingly. Brightness is reduced for darker surroundings, which saves power and reduces operation noise.
Note z While “Off” is selected for the Eco Mode setting, you also can specify whether brightness or color should be given emphasis. For details, see “Eco Off Mode” under “Image Adjustment 1 Main Menu” (page 29). z (for USB port model users) Use the setup menu (page 20) to select the Eco Mode when the input source is an external device connected to the USB port. Using the [FUNC] Key Pressing the [FUNC] key displays the menu shown below. You can use this menu to perform the operations described below.
