One Year Limited Warranty

Congratulations on your purchase of Runco’s latest 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

WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

SERVICE LABOR:

of a manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user.

PARTS: 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 retention on LCD display panels are specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty. Image
retention or staining of an image is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the

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 ar
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 LCD 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).

You can also select the Aspect Ratio directly from the remote control using discrete
Aspect Ratio buttons.

ANAMORPHIC mode

The Anamorphic aspect ratio expands the image in the
horizontal direction. The image is compressed vertically,
but with anamorphic software the image will appear
properly proportioned. This is best suited for use with
16:9 DVD’s and HDTV.

STANDARD 4:3 mode

The image is displayed at a standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
The input signal will be scaled to fit in the center of the
16:9 screen.

LETTERBOX mode

The image in the Letterbox mode will be zoomed in, and
the top and bottom portion ‘blanked off.’ This ratio is best
suited for LaserDisc movies or non-anamorphic DVD’s.

VIRTUALWIDE mode

The VirtualWide mode is an aspect ratio is designed to
fill the 16:9 screen with a 4:3 image. The center of the
picture is not stretched, and it gradually stretches on the
sides reaching the most extreme stretch at the far edges
of the picture (non-linear scaling). In addition, we apply
a very slight vertical stretch uniformly (no graduation)
which results in a very small amount of cropping of the
top and bottom of the image area. Thus a 4:3 image is
transformed into a 16:9 image with minimal distortion.

The following serial commands are meant to emulate buttons on the remote control. Each
button has its own serial command, so effectively it is as if you were using the IR remote
only you’ll be doing so via serial commands. Using these commands will provide active
OSD responses just like the IR remote.

Each command begins with “[key” (quotations are not part of the command), followed
by the four-digit number of the button. No carriage return is necessary. The response
you receive from the unit if the command is valid will be a close bracket followed by the
four-digit numeric code you sent. (Example: The ‘ON’ command is “[key0015”, the

response will be “]0015”). All commands are in ASCII.
