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.

CONTROLLING

Battery installation in the RCU.

A new battery (not yet installed to save the battery life) is delivered inside the plastic bag with the
power cord. Install the battery as follows :

Remove the battery cover on the backside of the RCU by pushing the indicated handle a little to the
bottom of the RCU. Lift up the top side of the cover at the same time (fig. 1).

Insert the new 9 V battery (type 6F22S or equivalent) in the lower compartment and connect the
battery to the contact plate.

Insert the battery into the lower compartment and put the cover back.

4-1

The DTV-943 can be controlled with
a. The RCU
b. The hardwired RCU (cable not included)
c. The local keyboard

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.

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.

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 DTV­943 labeled ‘REMOTE’.

ProjectorAddress

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.

4-2

Input selection.

Two possible ways of selecting an input :
a) Display General access menu with RCU by pressing ADJ button.

This brings up a secondary general access menu. Choose source selec­tion and highlight desired source.

b) With the local keypad :
Press first the ADJUST key to display the General access menu. Use
the control disk to highlight the desired source number. Choose from
table above. Push the control disk up or down to move the cursor up and

down, push the control disk to the left or to the right to move the cursor
to the left and to the right.
Press ENTER to confirm your selection.

When a valid and available source is selected, there will be information
displayed on the screen about that source. This information includes :

- Source number

- Horizontal frequency

- Vertical frequency

When the entry is a non valid source number, a warning appears on the
screen : ‘input not available’.

When a valid source number is selected, the projector will display this
source or it will wait on the selected source number until the source
becomes available. A message ‘source not available’will be displayed
for a short time.

4-3

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

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 con -

vergence function on the new memory.

This function is intended for customers with a need for various aspect ratios, espe-

cially 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.

APPENDIX 1

RS 232 Control

By far, the most accurate way to control or integrate the DTV-943 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.

To 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-943 and can be entered directly into most automation systems to
control all the functions of the projector.

APP-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-QTM Autoconvergence

OVERVIEW

The EYE-QTMauto-convergence system allows for faster and more accurate convergence when used by the installer upon initial instal­lation. The EYE-QTMsystem 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-QTMwill 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 adjustments for the
red and the blue. The EYE-QTMis typically 95% accurate when doing a FULLAUTOCONVERGENCE adjustment, depending on
screen size and how well the initial EYE-QTMsetup was performed.

THE QUICK GUIDE to using the EYE-QTMsystem:

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

Learn reference in EYE-QTMSETUP menu

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

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-posi-

tion.

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.

Highlight FRONT (or REAR) by pushing the or keys

of the control disc.

Press the <ENTER> button to set the correct projector con-

figuration.

The EYE-QTMSETUPmenu provides you with easy to use methods
to focus the camera lens and to center the camera.

Please pay attention while doing it, as a properly focused cam­era lens and correctly centered camera are prerequisites for a
perfect automatic convergence.

APX-4

FOCUSING THE CAMERA LENS

The lens of the camera must be focused properly on the projection

screen. Follow the steps described below:

In the EYE-QTMSETUP menu, highlight FOCUS THE LENS

by pushing the up or down keys of the control disc.

Press the <ENTER> button to start up the process.

Apattern of horizontal alternating green/black bars will be project­ed onto the screen, together with a textbox. Inside the box, the text
“CAMERA FOCUS” indicates the item subject to adjustment and
under the text, a numeric bar scale (from 0 to 99) will visualize the
correction.

To obtain a correctly focused camera, turn the lens until maximum

readout. The value of the stabilized maximum readout will be in

the range between 60 and 90, depending on ambient light.

In rear projection, the maximum value can be less than 60 depen-

dent on ambient light.

After finishing the correction, press the <EXIT> button to return to

CENTERING THE CAMERA

The camera must be centered in middle of the projection screen.
Follow the steps described below:

Highlight CENTER CAMERA by pushing the up or down

keys of the control disc.

Press the <ENTER> button to start up the process.

Note: It is critical that the green raster of the presently selected

source is centered on the CRT faceplate. Otherwise, the
camera will not be centered properly.

CENTERING THE CAMERAHORIZONTALLY

One vertically centered green bar will be projected onto the screen,
together with a text box. Inside the box, the text of “CAMERA
ALIGNMENT HORIZONTAL” indicates the item subject to
adjustment and a symmetrical bar scale (from -50 to +50) under
text.

If the indicated value below the bar scale is not equal to zero (i.e.
the black highlight is not in the middle of the bar scale), the cam-

era is not centered horizontally. Follow the steps below to center

the camera horizontally:

Turn the knob situated on the upper-right corner of the camera
clockwise or counter clockwise until the highlight is in the middle
of the bar scale (i.e. the indicated value becomes zero);

Press the <ENTER> button to continue with the camera vertical
centering.

Note: An easy way to remember the H+Vadjustments is: The knob

located up/down from the fixed screw is vertical adjustment.
The knob located left/right from the fixed screw is horizon­tal adjustment.

APX-6

CENTERING THE CAMERAVERTICALLY

One horizontally centered green bar will be projected onto the
screen, together with a text box. Inside the box, the text of “CAM­ERA ALIGNMENT VERTICAL” indicates the item subject to
adjustment and a symmetrical bar scale (from -50 to +50) under the
text.

If the indicated value below the bar scale is not equal to zero (i.e.
the black highlight is not in the middle of the bar scale), the cam­era is not centered vertically. Follow the steps below to center the
camera vertically:

Turn the knob situated on lower-left corner of the camera

clockwise or counter clockwise until the highlight is in the

middle of the bar scale (i.e. the indicated value becomes

zero).

After finishing the vertical centering, press the <ENTER> button
to return to the EYE-QTM menu.

When installed in a retro projector, the centering procedure is not
necessary and not possible as the camera mounting is fixed.

SET TOUCH-UP OPTIONS

For convergence purpose, the screen is divided into 25 areas.
Every area has its unique number from 1 to 25. Touch-up adjust
the Area No. 1. This adjustment is also called the “static conver­gence”.

The Touch-up can be set on Source or on Timer.
Touch-up on Source means when switching from one source to
another, the static convergence will be carried automatically.

Touch-up on Timer means whenever the user-defined period of

time has elapsed the static convergence will be adjusted automati-

cally.

Touch-up is an option the customer can use periodically after a
final install is complete. This will insure image quality is at its
best.

TOUCH-UP ON SOURCE ON/OFF

Follow the steps below to set the option ON/OFF:

Push up or down keys of the control disc to highlight ON

SOURCE SWITCH: off;

Press the <EXIT> button to return to the EYE-QTMmenu.

APX-7

TOUCH-UP ON TIMER

This option allows the static convergence to be carried out auto­matically after a user-defined time, which can be programmed in
hours and/or minutes.

To program the touch-up on Timer:

Push up or down keys of the control disc to highlight ON

TIMER: off;

Press the <ENTER> button to switch it to ON and the preset

time will be displayed;

Press the <TEXT> button to enter the TOUCH-UP TIMER
menu;

Push left or right keys of the control disc to highlight the digit

to be changed;
Use the numeric keys to enter a desire value;

Press the <ENTER> button to confirm and the EYE-Q
SETUP menu will return on the screen; or press the <EXIT>

button to leave the preset value untouched and return to the

EYE-QTMSETUP menu.

Press the <EXIT> button to return to the EYE-QTMmenu.

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-QTMrequires 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-QTMand 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 ONL YDONE 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).

TM

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.

APX-8

LEARNING AREFERENCE

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-QTMby pushing up or down keys of

the control disc. Now select SETUP using the up or down keys, finally select

LEARN REFERENCE.

TM

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-QTMprojects 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 verti-

cal 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.

WHAT IS BEING MEASURED BY EYE-Q

TM

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-QTMprojects 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.

APX-9

TOUCH UPAND AUTOCONVERGENCE

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
