PA600X/PA500X/PA550W/PA500U


Five types of optional lenses and a wide lens shift range provide improved flexibility of your installation.

Functions and Features

Equipped with a product design and adjustment functions that are desirable with a variety of installation requirements

Lens shift function for easily adjusting the position of the projected image

Lens shifting rangeThe projector is equipped with a lens shift that allows you to adjust the projected image horizontally or vertically. You can easily adjust the position of the projection just by turning the lens shift dials, without having to move the projector unit itself. Furthermore, it is also equipped with a centre lens design for easy alignment.

Lens shift dials*The lens shift mechanism does not work when using NP11FL.
*As you maximise the tilt direction of the lens shift, the area surrounding the screen may get darker and shadows may appear.

Test pattern display that is convenient for screen adjustments

Test pattern display that is convenient for screen adjustmentsYou can check the screen projection condition while setting up the projector by using a test pattern (grid). The projector can be checked independently without having to connect image devices and output test images.

3D REFORM function corrects keystone distortion

3D REFORM function3D REFORM function enables the projection of images from a computer to screen on an angle.

Five types of optional lenses available for flexible installation

The projector supports five types of optional lenses which are adapted to a variety of installation locations and projection methods, including conference rooms, auditoriums, and exhibition halls. The NP13ZL is compatible with 2× zoom, which allows it to handle an even PA600X broader range of projection distances. The lenses can be easily changed by using the lens release button.

*The lenses are not included with this unit.

Considering the environment and offering simple maintenance contributes to a reduced total cost of ownership.

Energy saving design with a standby power consumption of 0.2W

"Eco Mode" that curbs electricity consumption and "Carbon Meter" display

Extends the lamp replacement time to a maximum of 4000 hours in Eco Mode

Silent design of 31dB in Eco Mode that will not disturb meetings and classes

PA500U is 32dB.

Equipped with a maintenance-free large filter

Equipped with a maintenance-free large filterThe projector uses large two-layer filters. Since it is highly effective at repelling dust, as long as the filter is replaced with new ones when changing the lamp, there is no need for regular cleaning.
