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.
L
PRE
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.
PlasmaWall XP-65DHD Owner’s Operating Manualiii
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:
Y
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.
CONTACT A RUNCO AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER TO OBTAIN SERVICE:
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

Introduction
The new Runco XP-65DHD plasma monitor establishes a higher threshold for flat panel
display products. This is our largest and highest-resolution plasma ever, at 65 inches
diagonal and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) native resolution.
In addition, the XP-65DHD takes picture quality to a whole new level boasting our
brightest picture, best contrast ratio, deepest black levels and most spot-on high
definition colorimetry ever! In addition, sophisticated 16-bit digital video processing, a new
milestone, results in 4096 steps of graduation for seamless images completely devoid of
the primitive "solarization" and "stair stepping" characteristics previously plaguing digital
flat panel displays.
The XP-65DHD features all of the Runco technologies you have come to expect from the
World's Finest Home Theater Products. Discrete multiple aspect ratio control includes
VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 content in widescreen without appreciable picture
degradation, as well as ISF(ccc) calibration modes to easily maintain ISF standards. The
automation interface includes RS-232 control with discrete aspect ratio, input and power
on/off selection.
The included DHD with HDMI Digital Video Controller/Processor provides a pure digital
signal path from input to output as well as a broad array of video input choices, all
available from its position in the equipment rack, with only digital video and command
cables running to the display itself.
Finally, the XP-65DHD not only represents a leap forward in high definition flat-panel
technology, but our engineering advances in plasma design ensure that it will enjoy a long
life in any installation, with operation extending to as much as 60,000 hours. At less than
4-1/2 inches thin, the XP-65DHD provides unlimited installation flexibility as well.
