Safety Precautions

Thank you for your purchase of this quality Runco video projector! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video
that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the
menus and operation.

WARNING

CAUTION

RISK OFELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOTOPEN

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

CAUTION:

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

Y

4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements.

5. Clean only with a dry cloth.

IMINAR

L

6. Do not block any ventilation openings.

7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete
outlet.

9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could
cause damage to this unit.

10. Only use accessories specified by Runco International.

11. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.

12. Unplug this projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for an extended period of time.

13. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to
removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of
lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any way,
objects have fallen or spilled into the projector, the projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

2 Runco CL-810 Series Owner’s Operating Manual

Introduction

The CL-810 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility
heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution
DLP light engine features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™ technology for bright, pristine
high-definition images.

Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Runco's exclusive
Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR), an electronically-controlled iris system.

The CL-810 is equipped with a precision optics package offering a power zoom control
and a throw range of 1.80:1 to 2.43:1. The CL-810 Ultra provides even greater installation
flexibility, with six lens options from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from

1.22:1 to 5.68:1. For rear-projection applications, a fixed, short-throw lens is also available

with the CL-810 Ultra.

Y

The CL-810's illumination system incorporates Runco's exclusive Selectable Lamp
Intensity Control™ (SLIC™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum
flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and
lamp life preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases
efficiency and reduces noise levels.

The CL-810 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)
standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's sophisticated parameters
for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise
balance of gray scale and color. The CL-810 incorporates Runco-proprietary
de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2
pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible.

IMINAR

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the CL-810 can be equipped with Runco’s CineWide™ technology, a
combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics. CineWide
maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer
transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider
while full height is maintained. Also available with the CL-810 Ultra is CineWide with
AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

L

1.4 Description, Features and Benefits

The CL-810 is available with or without the SDC-1, a versatile, high-performance digital
video switcher. By providing a single, convenient connection point for home theater
components that is separate from the projector, the SDC-1 gives designers and installers
greater flexibility in terms of projector placement. It also simplifies the task of adding
components after the projector has been installed.

Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
