3. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the cord.

To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

4. If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

5. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.

6. Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and AC power-line surges.

On installation

1. Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it.

2. Do use this equipment near water.

3. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

The projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.

4. Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement under and around the projector. Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 4” on any side.

On servicing

Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials and risk of electric shock!

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qual-

ified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled into the equipment. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the product does not operate normally when the operating instruc-

tions are followed. Note: Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instruc-

tions since improper adjustment of the other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a

need for service. Replacement parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician has used original RUNCO replacement parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the RUNCO original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.

Safety check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

On Cleaning Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use

liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

- To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet.

- To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.

On repacking

Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.

On illumination

In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen be kept to an absolute minimum.

When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid exposure to ambient light directly on the screen. Avoid adverse illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting fixtures.

The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spotlight or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination. Where possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are non-reflecting, dark surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the projected image on the screen.

The procedure and results of controlling the projector with either of these RCU options is essentially the same.

How to use your RCU

a) Point the front of the RCU towards the projector

b) RCU used in a hardwired configuration.

Plug one end of the remote cable in the connector on the bottom of the RCU and the second side in the connector in the rear panel of the DTV873 labeled ‘REMOTE’.

Projector Address

a. Hardware set up of the projector address.

Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which is set with hardware DIP switches inside the projector. To change that address, contact a RUNCO authorized technician.

b. How to control the projector.

The projector’s address may be set to any value between 0 and 255. When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now with :

-the RCU for addresses between 1 and 9.

-computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for addresses between 0 and 255.

Note : A projector will respond to a RCU set to an address of ‘0’ regardless of what address is set in the projector itself. Address “0” is therefore a universal address.

c. Using your RCU.

Before using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the projector address into the RCU (only when that address is between 1 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU. When address 0, ‘zero address’ is programmed into the RCU, every projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this RCU.

How to display a projector address?

Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil. The projector’s address will be displayed in a ‘Text box’. This text box disappears after a few seconds.

To continue using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the same address with the digit buttons (address between 0 and 9). For example, if the Address Key displays projector address 003, then press the “3” digit button on the RCU to set the RCU’s address to match the projector’s address. Do not press digit 003. This will address the remote to ‘0’ and control all projectors in the room.

How to program an address into the RCU?

Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil and enter the address with the digit buttons. That address can be any digit between 0 and 9.

When programming ‘0’, zero address, the RCU will control a projector regardless of the projector’s address. This feature allows multiple projectors with different addresses to be controlled by a single RCU.

Analog Picture Controls

The analog picture controls can be adjusted with the RCU. The control keys are located on the lower right side of the key panel of the RCU and indicated with the name of the control and an icon. When an analog picture control is pressed, a text box with bar scale and the function name of the control, e.g. ‘brightness...’ appears on the screen (only if ‘TEXT’ is ON). The length of the bar scale indicates the current memorized setting for this source. The bar scale changes as the + or - buttons of the control are pressed.

Brightness Control

A correct ‘brightness’ setting is important for good image reproduction. Adjust the brightness with the + or - button (RCU) until the darkest parts of the picture appear black. A bar scale gives a visual indication on the screen of the current brightness setting while pressing on the above indicated keys. If the bar scale is not visible on the screen, press ‘TEXT’ key once and retry the above indicated keys. The bar scale increases when pressing on the + button (higher brightness) and decreases when pressing on the - button (lower brightness).

Contrast Control

A correct ‘contrast’ setting is important for good image reproduction. Adjust the contrast to the level you prefer, according to room lighting conditions. If the Contrast Control is too low, the picture will be too dim. If it is set too high, the picture may be too bright and not sharp. A bar scale gives a visual indication on the screen of the current contrast setting while pressing the + or - buttons (RCU). If the bar scale is not visible on the screen, press ‘TEXT’ key once and retry the above indicated keys. The bar scale increases when pressing on the + button (higher contrast) and decreases when pressing on the - button (lower contrast).

Blanking adjustments affect only the edges of the projected image and are used to frame the projected image on to the screen and to hide or black out unwanted information (or noise). A 0% on the bar scale indicates no blanking.

To start up the Blanking adjustments, follow the next procedure : Push the control disc up or down to highlight BLANKING on the Geom-

etry menu and the press ENTER. The following blanking corrections are possible :

- Top blanking

- Bottom blanking

- Left blanking

- Right blanking

Therefore :

- If the internal # pattern was selected, this pattern remains on the screen.

- If the genlocked pattern was selected, the external source will be displayed.

Adjust the next blanking alignments until the image is correctly framed or the unwanted information is blanked out.

To enter a blanking alignment, push the control disc up or down to highlight a function and press ENTER to activate this function.

Convergence Adjustment

Convergence adjustments affect both the horizontal and vertical lines of the setup pattern. These adjustments are performed on the red image while superimposed on the green image and then on the blue image while superimposed on the green image. Start with the coarse convergence adjustments and finalize with the fine convergence adjustment.

The screen area is divided into 25 areas.

Coarse Convergence Adjustments

Highlight ‘Red on Green’ under the coarse convergence item and press ENTER. The coarse convergence menu will be displayed. The following items are possible:

* Horizontal sides: adjust the vertical lines, within a certain area, on both sides without influencing the lines on the middle of the image. * Vertical corners: adjust the horizontal lines in the four corners, within a certain area, without influencing the middle of the image. Repeat for ‘blue on green’

Horizontal sides Highlight “Horizontal lines’ and press ENTER to start the adjustment. To make a coarse adjustment of the red or blue vertical lines in ZONE 3 and 5 simultaneously.

Hint * Look to the outside edges of the image and adjust until the red or the blue vertical lines are on the green lines or as close as possible to the green lines.

* During these adjustments, the horizontal convergence adjustments in ZONES 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be set to midposition (barscale 50)

Projector warm up

Highlight ‘Projector warm up’ by pushing the control disc up or down and press ENTER to select the projector warm up menu.

The ON/OFF option can be toggled with the ENTER key. When in the ON position (and the CRT run in cycle is OFF), the projector can start

up with a warm up period of 20 minutes. During the start up a warm up menu will be displayed. This menu offers the possibility to skip the warm up period anyway by pressing the EXIT key and offers the possibility to adjust the horizontal and vertical amplitude of the white image with the control disc. During this warm up period, a full white image is shifted on the CRT faceplate to avoid a burn in. Every 30 seconds a text box will be displayed on another place on the screen with the remaining time to go. When EXIT is pressed during this warm up period, the warm up menu will be redisplayed with the remaining time indication. Press another time EXIT to interrupt the warm up cycle. When the warm up option is OFF , when switching on the projector, it starts immediately with the projection of the selected source.

Memorybanks

This function allows the creation of various aspect ratios while the horizontal scan rate stays the same. When on, this function allows 1 button access to each aspect ratio.

DEFAULT = ON If the feature is ON, then the unit will have a capacity of having eight (8) separate

aspect ratios within the same frequency (there are a total of 32 separate memories; if all eight memorybanks are used, for example, then total of 4 frequencies can be input (4 freqs x 8 memorybanks=32). To create different memories, clear all the menus from the screen (press “exit” until the screen is clear). Then, press ENTER. A box will appear in the bottom right corner indicating which memorybank the unit is in, I.E. “MEMORYBANK 1”. Next press a number (1-8) representing which memorybank the new screen size will be assigned to. The new memorybank number will be displayed. To ensure the new memory is saved, perform any convergence function on the new memory.

This function is intended for customers with a need for various aspect ratios, especially those with widescreen. From the Runco factory, three (3) memorybanks are assigned for each frequency:

Memorybank1: Wide Screen (1.1.78) Memorybank2: Anamorphic Memorybank3: 3:4 (1.1.33)

If this feature is OFF, then each of the 32 memories will be scan rate dependent, in other words, each of 32 memories MUST have a different frequency. This is especially useful for use with computers and their different resolutions.

RS 232 Control

By far, the most accurate way to control or integrate the DTV-873 into a home theater system is by RS 232 control. In this section, you will find hardware configuration and how to format the control data, command strings and examples.

Hardware Configuration

RS232 Connector 9PIN D-SUB PC-AT TYPE. Projector has female type.

o establish communications with the projector

, the following conditions must be made:

NOTE: All wires are straight through. DO NOT cross PINS 2 to 3 as in a null modem configuration.

Alternatively

, the connections can be made as follows (absolute minimum of wires):

NOTE: Some automation systems may only use/require pins 3, 2, 5 be connected.

How to format the control data

Every command sent to the projector is a group of 9 bytes that is called a record. Even a simple ON command is sent as a record. Below is an explanation of the syntax of a record. It is not necessary to memorize the syntax since the next section contains a chart of strings that work with any DTV-873 and can be entered directly into most automation systems to control all the functions of the projector.

APPENDIX 1

Sending a RECORD (single instruction)

A RECORD consists of 9 bytes of information in the following order: STX, OFFS, ADR, CMD, DAT1, DAT2, DAT3, DAT4, CHKS

Where:

STX - 02H Make projector(s) listen for its (their) unique address. OFFS - (1-255) Offset you choose so that none of the data or CMDs - 02H (STX).

Normally set the offset to 0.

ADRe - (1-255) Number corresponding to projector’s unique address (see dip switch setting).

If you are unsure of your projector’s address, set this to 0. It will talk to your projector regardless of its address.

CMDe - (1-255) The command to be sent to the projector (see list of commands).

See command list for all possible functions.

DAT1e - (1-255) Additional data to be sent (set to 0 if not used) DAT2e - (1-255) Additional data to be sent (set to 0 if not used) DAT3e - (1-255) Additional data to be sent (set to 0 if not used) DAT4e - (1-255) Additional data to be sent (set to 0 if not used) CHKSe - (ADR + CMD + DAT1 + DAT2 + DAT3 + DAT4) mod 256 - add everything and keep

only 2 right most digits

Note: Bytes from ADR to CHKS are shown in bold with the suffix ‘e’ to indicate the offset is added before sending the byte.

EYE-Q Autoconvergence

OVERVIEW

The EYE-QTMauto-convergence system allows for faster and more accurate convergence when used by the installer upon initial installation. The EYE-Q

system also allows the end-user to perform occasional convergence touch ups without having to learn the complex convergence procedure using the TOUCH-UP option in the EYE-QTMmenu. By doing so, the end-user can be assured that the image quality is always at its best.

To work correctly, the installer must complete geometry (setting green only) for one source which is the reference geometry. Every memory that is auto-converged after that will use the same geometry as the reference. In most applications, however, multiple aspect ratios are to be converged, each with its own unique geometry. In this case, the geometry for each aspect ratio needs to be completed first, the EYE-Q

will converge the red and blue colors to the green for each

aspect ratio. The last step is for the installer to touch-up the convergence using the fine convergence using the fine convergence adjust-

ments for the red and the blue. The EYE-Q

is typically 95% accurate when doing a FULL AUTOCONVERGENCE

adjustment, depending on screen size and how well the initial EYE-QTMsetup was performed.

THE QUICK GUIDE to using the EYE-Q

system:

Do geometry for the current memory bank (see geometry section) Focus the lens in EYE-Q

SETUP menu

Center the camera in EYE-Q

SETUP menu

Learn reference in EYE-Q

SETUP menu

Select AUTO-CONVERGENCE then ALIGN on current source from the EYE-QTMmenu

If all five steps were completed successfully, the projector will have already begun to converge red and blue automatically at this time. Please read further for detailed instructions of each adjustment.

APX-2

APPENDIX 2

Easy-to-use, high precision automatic convergence system.

Various options on the menu offer you the solution for your own individual needs:

Align: convergence starts for the current image situation Align from mid-position: convergence starts from mid-position. Touch-up: convergence starts when the source switches or after

a user-defined time: alignment of static convergence is almost invisible for the audience.

Easy-to-use, high precision automatic geometry system

Various options on the menu offer a comprehensive solution to your geometry requirements:

Quick auto-picture: aligns geometry within 45 seconds. Full auto-picture: aligns geometry very accurately followed by

auto convergence. This option offers a very powerful adjustment tool.

Note: Must have a reference geometry set up first for these options.

Compact, built-in system

A very compact, monochrome CCD camera Use of Sub-Pixel Resolution Techniques, a state-of -the -art

proprietary Digital Signal Processing System.

Preparing your EYE-Q

When one adjust geometry by hand, a reference screen and a reference pattern are required. There are a lot of possibilities for a reference screen. A test pattern for a video test disc is normally used. See geometry section of manual for more information. Once a selection of a reference screen and a reference pattern is made, adjusting geometry is only a matter of converging these two elements.

EYE-Q

requires a reference for adjusting geometry. The simplest way to have a reference screen is to adjust one source by hand, which then serves as a reference for all other sources. After adjusting a source, the reference is learned by EYE-Q

and stored in non-volatile memory. Having this Reference Source in memory EYE-QTMcan adjust all other sources to have the same geometry as the Reference Source.

REFERENCE SOURCE

Before any geometric adjustment can be done, the user Must learn a Reference Source. This process is ONLY DONE ONCE since the Reference will be stored in non-volatile memory. If however, the projector is moved from its position, then the Learn Reference procedure must be repeated. After learning a Reference do not touch the camera (for focusing and centering). If using multi-aspect ratios, a Reference Geometry must be done for each aspect ratio.

ADJUSTING OTHER SOURCES

Once a Reference Source is in memory, other sources are aligned with the same geometry as the Reference Source. If no Reference Source is learned, the resulting geometry will be unpredictable.

LEARNING A REFERENCE

Adjust one Reference Source with perfect geometry. This source can have either horizontal or vertical frequency. Remember that other sources will have the same geometry as this Reference Source. This means that if a source has 4:3 aspect ratio, all sources will be adjusted with a 4:3 aspect ratio and the same horizontal and vertical amplitudes.

Follow the steps below to select:

Enter in the Adjustment Mode and select EYE-Q

by pushing up or down keys of the control disc. Now select SETUP using the up or down keys, finally select LEARN REFERENCE.

EYE-Q

will now project the Reference Source with horizontal green line inserted at the top region and a horizontal green line inserted at the bottom region of the image.

Pushing the up or down keys of the control disc adjust the horizontal green line at the top until it matches the top edge of the Reference Source perfectly, then press <ENTER>. Using the up or down keys of the control disc adjust the horizontal green line at the bottom until it matches the bottom edge of the Reference Source perfectly, then press <ENTER>.

Now EYE-Q

projects the Reference Source with a vertical green line inserted

at the left and a vertical green line inserted at the right.

Pushing the up or down keys of the control disc changes the position of the vertical green lines simultaneously; they are being shifted symmetrically inward and outward with respect to the scan of the projector.

Use left or right keys of the control disc to change the phase of the Reference Source. Use both (up or down) or (left or right) so that the green vertical lines perfectly match the right-left edges of the reference image, then press <ENTER> (this will initiate the learning procedure).

NOTE: If you had to use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the phase, this means that the phase of the Reference Source was originally not adjusted correctly. Hence the Reference Source may now fall short of the physical screen. To avoid this, re-adjust the Horizontal Raster Shift (in the Random Access Adjustment mode, refer to Owner Manual) so that the Reference source falls on the physical screen and repeat the Learn Reference selection.

Do not adjust the phase when repeating the Learn Reference procedure.

Pressing<EXIT> will interrupt the Learn Reference procedure if required.

WHA

T IS BEING MEASURED BY EYE-Q

Using the borderlines define above, EYE-QTMknows exactly when the image starts and stops with respect to time scale. EYE-QTMis now able to project lines at the edges. Using the border lines left and right, EYE-Q

projects three vertical thick green lines at positions 5, 50 and 95%. Using the border lines top and bottom, EYE-QTMprojects three horizontal thick lines at positions 5, 50 and 95%. EYE-QTMthen calculates the intercepts of the three vertical and three horizontal lines resulting in nine points. These nine points are the reference points for other geometry sources and are stored into memory.

NOTE: “DELETE ALL BLOCKS” in the Service menu does not delete the Reference source parameters.

ADJUSTING SCREEN SIZE

In case the projection screen is not greater than the desired size or the screen has a frame around it (i.e. projection impossible outside the frame), the following blanking adjustments have to be done before starting the automatic convergence:

When using a video source: adjust the top, bottom, left and right blanking until the whole projected image of video is just still visible;

When using a screen with a frame: adjust the top, bottom, left and right blanking until the whole projected image is just still visible.

So that the selected screen area after blanking adjustments corresponds with the projected image size. In this way , the screen size is set correctly to ensure the successful convergence.

NOTE:

For blanking adjustments, please refer to the Projector Setup Manual.

To enter the AUTOCONVERGENCE menu:

Highlight AUTOCONVERGENCE by pushing up or down keys of the control disc;

Press the <ENTER> button.

The AUTOCONVERGENCE menu allows the automatic convergence either on the currently selected source or on all sources (all filled memory blocks of the projector).

ON ALL SOURCES

The “On all sources” functions as the “On current source.” It includes also three options:

Touch-up Align Align from mid-position

The difference is that the convergences will be carried out on all sources of the projector, i.e. all available memory banks of the projector. The total number of sources is displayed between the brackets.

TOUCH-UP ON ALL SOURCES

When TOUCH-UP below ON ALL SOURCES by pushing up

or down keys of the control disc; Press the <ENTER> button to start up the static conver-

gence. The process will repeat for as many times as the total num-

ber of the sources until all sources are perfectly aligned. If the process will repeat for as many times as the total num-

ber of the sources until all sources are perfectly aligned. If the process is successfully completed, the projector will

return to image display of the current source.

ALIGN ON ALL SOURCES

When ALIGN is selected, the automatic convergence on all sources will be carried out automatically, starting from the existing settings.

By projecting alternately red and blue lines, 25 convergence areas are aligned to the green pattern. The process will repeat for as many times as the total number of the sources until all sources are perfectly aligned.

Follow the steps below to select: Highlight ALIGN below ON ALL SOURCES by pushing up or

down keys of the control disc; Press the <ENTER> button to start up the automatic conver-

gence of the entire screen. If the process is successfully completed, the projector will

return to image display of the current source. Use this option when the convergence is close to proper

alignment.

ALIGN FROM MIDPOSITION ON ALL SOURCES

When ALIGN FROM MIDPOSITION is selected, the automatic convergence on all sources will be carried out automatically, but starting from the midposition settings.

Follow the steps below to select:

Highlight ALIGN FROM MIDPOSITION below ON ALL SOURCES by pushing up or down keys of the control disc;

Press the <ENTER> button to start up the automatic convergence of the entire screen.

If the process is successfully completed, the projector will return to image display of the current source.

Use this option when the convergence if far from proper alignment.

INTERRUPTING THE AUTOMATIC CONVERGENCE PROCESS

The process of the above-mentioned automatic convergence can be interrupted at any moment by pressing the <EXIT> button.

After the <EXIT> button is pressed, the projector will leave the automatic convergence process and a message will be displayed informing of the action:

Status: Forced<EXIT>

ERROR MESSAGES

The status line in the AUTOCONVERGENCE menu gives three possible messages:

Ready: before automatic convergence starts; Forced<EXIT>: when interrupting the process; Forced break: error message. Error messages are displayed when the automatic conver-

gence is not successfully completed.

NO PATTERN ERROR

After starting up the automatic convergence, the projector will start to calculate and locate 5 horizontal and 5 vertical lines which are used to divide the screen into 25 areas.

If the projector does not succeed in finding the pattern, it will try two time. If the two attempts fail, the projector will quit the process and display the Error menu.

The AUTOCONVERGENCE selection will be followed by the error window displaying the following possibilities.

Error occurred, please check:

the lens cap is removed the lens of the camera is correctly focused; the camera is correctly centered; if hardware problems exist, do diagnostics; the ambient light is too high; the blanking adjustments are correct; Press the <ENTER> button to start EYE-Q

diagnos-

tics (refer to page for full details on EYE-Q

diagnostics, please note that this option may vary in selection with different projectors).

STATUS REPORTING FORCED BREAK

After starting up the automatic convergence, if unexpected trouble such as the interruption of source input occurs, the projector will quit the process and display the AUTOCONVERGENCE menu on the screen.

The status line in the AUTOCONVERGENCE menu will display the following message:

Status: Forced break

The possible causes of such an error:

The source is disconnected during the convergence: On the screen a message “Source not available” will be displayed and projector waits until the source is reconnected or selected;

Switching sources during the convergence: After the source is available again, the AUTOCONVERGENCE menu will be displayed the status line reporting “Forced Break.”
