Flat Panel Plasma Display Monitor

with

THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

For Plasma Displays

Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco video product and welcome to the Runco family! We believe Runco produces “The World’s Finest Home Theater Products.” With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years of unparalleled video performance.

This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and retain it with your other important documents.

WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

SERVICE LABOR: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of delivery to the end user (excluding the plasma glass panel).

PARTS (not including plasma glass panel): Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.

PLASMA GLASS PANEL: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user. In addition, Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

Image burn-in on plasma display panels is specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty. Image burn-in is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the terms of this Limited Warranty.

Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for extended periods of time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD players are also equipped with screen savers for this reason.

TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (Burn-in): Please ensure that still images are left on your plasma display panel for no more than a few minutes. Also ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information is present on the left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent permanent image burns on your plasma display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain conditions once burn-in has occurred.

The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool bars and icons. (This is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from burning into the monitor’s phosphors after being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).

This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal use and does not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any appearance items; failure resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper installation or setup adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal; damage due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote control units, damage resulting from leaking, old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.

CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM RUNCO AUTHORIZED DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY.

MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT INSTALLATION AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RUNCO DEALER TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH YOUR RUNCO PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

RIGHTS, LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:

Runco limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty period. There are no express warranties. Runco also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental or consequential damages related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

EFFECTIVE WARRANTY DATE:

This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original bill of sale as evidence of the purchase date.

IMPORTANT -- WARRANTY REGISTRATION:

Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Runco knows how to reach you promptly if we should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.

Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Runco video product will be performed at the location of the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating distance from a Runco Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Runco factory for repairs. If, solely in Runco’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest Runco Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Runco factory, it is the owner’s responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Runco Dealer. If this is not possible, contact Runco directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Runco will return product transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping costs will be the responsibility of the owner.

2 Runco CinemaWall SP-42/-50/-60 Owner’s Operating Manual

Introduction

The CinemaWall Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor combines high-resolution quality and affordability into one package. It has all of the features that one has come to expect from a Runco product, including high-quality video processing, aspect ratio control and ease of use. The advanced Runco processing inside the CinemaWall combined with its high native resolution allows the most accurate scaling for all types of signals, including DVD (progressive or interlaced), all currently-available HDTV formats and computers.

For video originally made in film, the CinemaWall has built-in 3:2 pulldown for the sharpest and most artifact-free images possible. Like all Runco plasmas, it can be mounted on a wall, ceiling or placed on a tabletop and is bright enough for use in any lighting situation: its size is such that it can be the centerpiece of many home theaters.

The CinemaWall offers a resolution of either 1365 x 768 (Models SP-50 and SP-60) or 1024 x 768 (Model SP-42). Both models include Runco’s discrete aspect ratio control with VirtualWide™ mode to fill a 16:9 screen with standard 4:3 images without loss of picture quality. Also included are discrete source selection, multi-language support and an RS-232 interface for whole-house or automated control system integration.

The CinemaWall Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor has been carefully engineered with ISF™ calibration standards for superb video performance. At less than five inches deep, it can be wall-mounted or used on a tabletop stand.

The CinemaWall offers these key features and benefits:

Screen Size (diagonal): 42 inches (Model SP-42), 50 inches (Model SP-50) or 60 inches (Model SP-60)

16:9 Native Resolution: 1024 x 768 (Model SP-42) or 1365 x 768 (Models SP-50 and SP-60)

Multiple Aspect Ratios with VirtualWide™ Mode

Less than 5-1/4 inches deep

Dual DVI Inputs with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

HDTV Compatible

Exceptional detail and artifact-free video enhancement

Vivix™ video processing with 3:2 film detection circuitry

Installation

Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature.

The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the plasma display away from the fluorescent lamp.

Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the plasma display.

Note

The signal from the remote control can be reflected by walls or

other surfaces.

If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones.

Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the plasma display and repeat the operation.

3.3

Proper installation of your CinemaWall will ensure the highest possible picture quality.

Installation

Whether you are installing the CinemaWall temporarily or permanently, you should take

Considerations

the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.

 

 

High-Altitude Operation

Due to the design of all plasma glass panels made by every manufacturer, and the

 

interaction between ambient air pressure and the plasma gases contained inside of the

 

panel, reliable operation of your plasma display cannot be assured during operation at

 

certain high-altitude locations.

 

Runco has found this plasma monitor to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 6000 MSL

 

(mean sea level). At elevations higher than this, each panel may react differently,

 

depending upon the altitude, air pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors.

 

For this reason, Runco International makes no warranties or claims as to the reliable

 

operation of the CinemaWall at altitudes greater than 6000 feet above sea level. If you are

 

planning to use this product at a location above 6000 feet, please contact Runco

 

technical support for further information.

Mounting the CinemaWall

To install the CinemaWall, you will need either an optional table stand or wall-mounting kit.

on a Wall or Table Stand

The CinemaWall cannot be installed on its own.

 

If you do decide to wall-mount the CinemaWall, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is

 

installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of

 

supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be

 

reinforced.

 

 

Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.

 

Note

Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit or table stand that is

 

specifically designed for your display.

You can attach your optional mounts or stand to the CinemaWall in either of two ways:

• While it is upright.
