[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.

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.
-	 Your	 manual	 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	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
AUTOThe 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 ZOOMThe image is stretched left and right. 
Parts  of  the  displayed  image  are  cropped  at  the  left  and  right  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 sig-
nal	with	 the	resolution	 of	800	 x	600	 is	
displayed on the NP115/NP110:
[Example	 2] When the incoming sig-
nal	with	 the	resolution	 of	800	 x	600	 is	
displayed on the NP215/NP210:
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, 	[NATIVE]	
is not available.

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 vide 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]
(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.
OFF ........................Turns off the TELECINE mode.
2-2/2-3 AUTO ........Detects pull-down correction method.
2-2 ON ...................Uses 2-2 pull-down correction method
2-3 ON ...................Uses 2-3 pull-down correction method
NOTE:	This	feature	is	not	available	for	480p,	576p,	720p,	1080i	and	RGB	signals.

Saving your change once affects all sources. The changes are saved when the projector is turned off.
Using	the	 Wall	Color	Correction	[WALL	COLOR]
 
This function allows for quick adaptive color correction in applications where the screen material is not white.
NOTE:	Selecting	color	options	other	than	[OFF]	will	reduce	brightness.
