I NSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

For Flat-Panel LCDs

from Runco International, LLC (“Runco”)

Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco video product and welcome to the Runco family! 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:

The following Runco product models are covered under this Limited Warranty: CX-70DHD (“Product” individually and “Products” collectively).

SERVICE LABOR: Runco will pay for service labor at an Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery to the initial end user (excluding the lamp).

PARTS (not including the lamp): 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 initial 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 is 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 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 not left on your LCD display panel. 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 retention 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).

Introduction

Following the longstanding tradition of providing the finest custom theater products, Runco proudly unveils its 70-inch Crystal Series™ LCD, the CX-70DHD. Runco’s largest LCD flat panel joins the esteemed Crystal Series, which represents the finest Runco has to offer and is a testament to Runco’s commitment to deliver the most exquisite flat-panel displays for an unsurpassed large-screen experience. Combining image prowess, impeccable design, flawless function and incredible craftsmanship, the Crystal Series products bespeak unparalleled luxury for the elite few who covet them.

The Runco CX-70DHD is a native “Full-HD” (1920 x 1080) LCD that is ideal for rooms of distinction where a large screen size is desired, but where ambient light makes front projection difficult and the glare of a plasma screen simply unacceptable. In addition to its exceptional contrast ratio and superb gray scaling for true-to-life image quality, the CX-70DHD features the ISF™ (Imaging Science Foundation) calibration suite, including day and night modes for an optimal picture in the most challenging lighting conditions.

Designed exclusively for discriminating tastes, the CX-70DHD is the first LCD flat panel to feature Runco’s proprietary external DHD™ video controller/processor. The DHD not only incorporates Runco’s exclusive advanced Vivix II™ digital video processing technology to achieve the highest level of image fidelity, but it also enhances standard-definition digital and NTSC content to near high-definition quality.

Regardless of video source, Runco’s CX-70DHD provides rich, detailed HD imagery. While lesser displays may show signs of image distortion, especially at larger screen sizes, the CX-70DHD incorporates Runco’s WideVision™ technology with exclusive VirtualWide™ content conversion, which masterfully converts all 4:3 content to widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and optimizes Anamorphic and Letterbox content with no loss of image integrity.

The CX-70DHD offers exceptional installation flexibility. It measures less than six inches thin for unobtrusive installation on a wall, and the external DHD processor allows for a pristine installation, with just a single HDMI with HDCP output to the display required. All source and component inputs (Composite, S-Video, HDMI with HDCP, and RGB) are handled by Runco’s DHD, which, like all of the components, can be hidden from view.

IMINAR

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits

Note

To calibrate the digital (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) inputs, use the Display Image controls in the Service menu. For more information, refer to Display Device on page 46.

The CX-70DHD has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF-certified installation technician.

All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each DHD Controller input separately.

When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for each input separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to

Memory Presets on page 41.

Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Runco recommends using the following calibration tools for best results:

• External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD (or equivalent).

• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.

Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) pattern.

Overscan: Image Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display area.

Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Over scan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the display area.

Calibration Use the Calibration menu to perform advanced picture quality adjustments on the analog

inputs. This menu should be used by ISF-certified technicians only.

To calibrate the digital (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) inputs, use the Display Image controls in the Service menu. For more information, refer to Display Device on page 46.

You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu.

To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the ISF Presets menu (see above). Or, use the corresponding buttons on the remote control.

ISF Night - Display Color: Use the Display Color settings to adjust the color balance at the display device (as opposed to the DHD Controller) for analog sources (up to 1080i). These settings are saved independently for each input.

•Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the

image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.

•Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color

imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.

ISF Night - Input Image: The Input Image controls are similar to those in the Picture menu, but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu passcode. This makes it possible to restore the picture quality settings to what they were when the display was installed, simply by recalling the “ISF Night” preset.

ISF Night - Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see above), but adjust the color balance at the DHD Controller (as opposed to the display device). These settings are also saved independently for each input.

PRE

• Gain/Offset: These controls operate similarly to those in the ISF Night - Display Color menu (see above), but affect the Y, Pb and Pr signal components rather than the

red, green and blue channels.

• Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a Composite, S-Video or Component video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect. If necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them.

•Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB source) shows shimmer or “noise.” Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a VCR.

For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. (You may notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this case.)

• Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.

HD Format: If the characteristics of the incoming signal on the HD1 or HD2 inputs are known, select HD Format from the Service menu and set them as described below. Doing so can reduce the time it takes the DHD Controller to switch from HD to 480i signals or vice versa.

This is generally not necessary unless the DHD Controller – for whatever reason – has difficulty determining the color space (RGB or YUV), bandwidth or resolution of the incoming HD signal. In most situations, the Auto settings work well.

To extend the backlight life, use the lowest setting that makes sense for your application. This will reduce power consumption, heat output and the chances of Temporary Image Retention (TIR) from occurring, particularly at higher altitudes.

The CX-70DHD stores any changes you make to these settings in the currently-selected ISF preset (ISF Day or ISF Night). After calibrating the display for one ISF preset, save your settings, select the other ISF preset and repeat the process.

Note

To interface the CX-70DHD with an automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software, connect it to the RS-232 output of the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-5. Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232 input of the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-10.

Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, eight (8) data bits, one (1) stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the DHD Controller RS-232 port.

Serial commands to the DHD Controller take the following form:

• Commands are not case-sensitive.

• For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type

LETTERBOX

• For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a comma and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the brightness to -10, type BRIGHTNESS

The following serial commands are meant to emulate buttons on the remote control or DHD Controller front panel. 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. These commands provide active OSD responses just like the IR remote.
