Adjustng Horzontal/Vertcal Poston [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.
Selectng Overscan Percentage [ OVERSCAN]

5. Using On-Screen Menu
Selectng Aspect Rato [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.
ResolutionAspect Ratio
VGA  640 x 480  4:3
SVGA 800 x 600  4:3
XGA 1024 x 768  4:3
WXGA 1280 x 768  15:9
WXGA  1280 x 800  16:10
WXGA+  1440 x 900  16:10
SXGA  1280 x 1024  5:4
SXGA+ 1400 x 1050  4:3
UXGA 1600 x 1200  4:3
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 ZOOM
(NP600/NP500/NP400/
NP300/NP600S)
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
(NP500W/NP500WS)
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  ]
 When the incoming sig-
nal with the resolution of 800 x 600 
is  displayed  on  the  NP600/NP500/
NP400/NP300/NP600S:
[Example  ]  When  the  incoming 
signal  with  the  resolution  of  800  x 
600  is  displayed  on  the  NP500W/
NP500WS:
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.

• 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.
