IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D VIEWING:

Please read and make sure you understand the following safety information before using the product for viewing 3D content.
Provide this information to the end users of this product and ensure that they understand it.

WARNING

It is widely recognized that stereographic display devices can cause discomfort, including, without
limitation, dizziness, nausea, headaches, eye fatigue and eye-strain, in some individuals. The 3D
effect and experience will vary by individual, depending on a variety of factors, including his or her
health and vision. Runco recommends that users take regular breaks when watching 3D video or
playing games using stereoscopic displays. Discontinue use if any discomfort occurs. Parents of
young children should ensure their children avoid extensive exposure to electronic stereographic
entertainment.

Y

The quality and appropriateness of the 3D screen materials onto which the image is projected and
the quality of the 3D content being displayed both have a significant and noticeable impact on the
overall 3D experience. A properly-calibrated projection system, including glasses and an
optimized third-party screen, displaying high-quality 3D content is the best formula for immersive
and comfortable 3D experiences in the home. Please refer to the remainder of this manual for
proper projector installation and usage instructions.

The glasses that accompany this product are not safe to use as sunglasses, protective eyewear or
any use outdoors or other than only in conjunction with the proper operation of the Runco product
with which they are sold. It is common to dim the lights in a home theater. Using 3D glasses and
the immersive imagery of stereoscopic imagery can increase the risk of tripping or falling the dark.
Special care should be taken.

IMINAR

Do not tilt your head while using the 3D glasses.

2 D-73d Series Installation/Operation Manual

Introduction

Runco’s exclusive new D-73d Series LED 3-D Home Theater Projection System
integrates 3D visualization technology that is based on the science of how the human eye
and brain process actual depth and dimension in real life, Runco has created a flawless
stereoscopic video reproduction that is unlike anything else in the home or private cinema
market. Offering 3D done right, Runco is the only display manufacturer to offer a 3D
solution is based on proprietary CSV™ (Constant Stereoscopic Video) architecture.
Runco CSV is a vastly-superior approach to 3D visualization that enables seamless
decoding, syncing and merging of stereo images and delivers a constant HD image to
each eye without the flicker, distortion, or discomfort inherent in other approaches. Runco
CSV utilizes unique passive-glasses technology, which is proven to be superior for the
viewer and is usually only available in the finest public theaters.

Further, Runco is the first home theater brand to license RealD‘s Processing Package,
which is used in Runco’s 3Dimension Processor that is paired with the company’s D-73d
projector. The RealD Processing Package includes multiple proprietary technologies for
the delivery and display of high-definition 3D content, for a high-quality 3D display
experience in the home. Also incredibly important when choosing a 3D display, the Runco
3Dimension Series will deliver both a spectacular 2D and 3D viewing experience with zero
compromise.

Runco’s 3Dimension Series pair passive glasses with a design unique to Runco
formulated for precise stereo separation, called PreciseLight™. Runco’s passive glasses
are not like current 3D TV glasses, which are based on “active” LCD shutter-glass
technology and have inherent design challenges. Active glasses are bulky and expensive
because they include electronics. And, because active glasses have LCDs in each lens,
and turn black every other frame (or more frequently), active glasses need a transmitter
that is synced to the frame rate. If you are out of range of the transmitter, low on batteries,
have multiple TVs in a single room, or have any obstructions, the image may stutter or
simply not work.

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits

The new Runco 3Dimension Series D-73d projector is based on an evolution of Runco’s
award-winning lampless LED technology. Runco’s InfiniLight™ boasts a significant
reduction in power consumption, a mercury-free illumination system, and InstantOn™,
which instantly produces an image and eliminates the need to put the projector in standby
mode.

Beyond light-source innovation, Runco’s LED-based projectors produce the largest color
gamut ever available in front projection; achieving and exceeding the Society of Motion
Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) standards.
The D-73d offers Runco’s Personal Color Equalizer™ (PCE), which enables owners to
create color settings from the largest palette ever available and project images exactly to
their preferences. Further, the D-73d outputs more perceived brightness than other 3D
solutions because of Runco’s proprietary LED technology and its ability to create
exceptional chromaticity. The combination of colors, perceived brightness and
performance enable the Runco D-73d to set a previously unseen standard for video.

For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the D-73d can also be paired with Runco’s
award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™ technology. Through an
ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision 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 superwide 2.35:1, the
image simply gets wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating useless black
bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

PRE

D-73d Series Installation/Operation Manual 3

Introduction

➤

With Runco CineWide, the projection system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby
producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No
resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture information.
CineWide with AutoScope provides a motorized, remote-controlled anamorphic lens
mechanism.

The D-73d Series LED 3-D Home Theater Projection System consists of the following
components:

• The projector, consisting of two discrete LED optical engines stacked one on top of the
other to provide either two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) content.

• A Primary DHD Controller unit that provides a video signal and on-screen display (OSD)
menu to the “left eye” optical engine of the projector. In addition, the Primary DHD
Controller controls all of the other system components (projector, Secondary DHD

Y

Controller and 3Dimension Processor), in response to user input via its infrared (IR)
remote control unit or front-panel keypad, an external control system or HDMI
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) messages.

• A Secondary DHD Controller unit that provides a video signal and OSD menu to the
right optical engine of the projector.

• The 3Dimension Processor, which accepts video signals from multiple analog and
digital sources, multiplexes them and distributes them to the Primary and Secondary
DHD Controllers.

Figure 2-1 shows how these components connect to and interact with each other. The
following sections describe each one in detail.

D-73d Series Installation/Operation Manual 7

System Overview

2.1

Projector

The standard D-73d projector, shown Figure 2-2, consists of two discrete LED optical
engines stacked one on top of the other to provide either three-dimensional (3D) or
two-dimensional (2D) content.

For 3D content, each engine produces the image for one eye. Linear polarizers on each
engine isolate the output images from one another. When the viewer transitions from 2D
content to 3D content, the polarizers move in tandem into the optical path by means of a
mechanical actuator (similar to a motorized anamorphic lens transport).

The left-eye and right-eye images are reflected by the screen back toward the viewing
area and kept isolated by a second set of polarizing filters: the 3D glasses worn by the
viewer.

For 2D content, the projector superimposes the output from one engine onto that from the
other engine to produce an extremely bright and focused image. When viewing 2D
content, the polarizers are out of the optical path.

The “left-eye” optical engine (the one nearest the glass) receives an HDMI video signal
from the Primary DHD Controller. The “right-eye” optical engine (the one nearest the feet)
receives an HDMI video signal from the Secondary DHD Controller.

• LENS LOCK
The screw to the right of the lens activates the lens lock, which freezes the zoom and
lens shift settings to keep the projector images aligned over time.

When shipped from Runco, the lenses are unlocked. To lock the lens position, use the
same 5.0-mm Hex wrench (provided) that you use for lens shift adjustments. (Turn
clockwise two or three turns.)

System Overview

WARNING

• HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LENS SHIFT CONTROLS
To access the lens shift controls, insert the included 5.0-mm Hex wrench into the
opening and turn it as needed to shift the lens in the desired direction (refer to
Adjusting the Focus, Zoom and Position of the Primary Lenses on page 54).

• FOCUS RING
Rotate this to focus the projected image.

• ZOOM TAB
Rotate this to change the projected image size.

THE LENS SHIFT MECHANISM CAN BE DAMAGED BY
EXCESSIVE FORCE.

• Ensure that the lens lock is released before adjusting horizontal
or vertical lens shift.

• Do not attempt to move the primary lenses beyond their normal
adjustment ranges.
