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.

Options |
|
|
| Function | |
|
| ||||
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. | ||||
|
| ||||
4:3 | The image is displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio. | ||||
|
| ||||
16:9 | The image is displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio. | ||||
|
| ||||
15:9 | The image is displayed in 15:9 aspect ratio. | ||||
|
| ||||
16:10 | The image is displayed in 16:10 aspect ratio. | ||||
|
|
|
| ||
WIDE ZOOM | The image is stretched left and right. |
|
| ||
(NP600/NP500/NP400) | Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the left and right edges and therefore not | ||||
| visible. |
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||
LETTERBOX | The image of a letterbox signal is stretched equally in the horizontal and vertical direc- | ||||
(NP500W) | tions to fit the screen. Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the top and bottom | ||||
| edges and therefore not visible. |
|
| ||
|
| ||||
NATIVE | The 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 x 600 is displayed on the NP600/ NP500/NP400:
[Example 2] When the incoming signal with the resolution of 800 x
600 is displayed on the NP500W:
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.
