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.

Connections
When starting up the projector, with the power switch or via the
stand-by key, the projector can start up in two ways if the “CRT
run in” cycle option is switched OFF.
- full white image (projector warm up) or
- immediately image display.
The way of starting up can be set in the service mode.
Start up with full white image.
The next menu will be displayed for 30 seconds.
a. Start up with warm up period.
If no action is taken, a white image will be displayed for 20 min-
utes.
This white image will be shifted on the faceplate of the CRT to
avoid burn in. During this warm up period, it is possible to interrupt
this white image projection by pressing the EXIT key. The previous
menu will be repeated for another 30 seconds but the remaining
time will be indicated.
If EXIT is pressed, the remaining warm up period will be shipped.
During the warm up period, every 30 seconds a text box with the

Controlling
The DTV-992 / 992 ULTRA 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.
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 DTV-992 / 992 ULTRA 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.

Controlling
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).
Color Saturation Control
Color saturation is only active for Video and S-Video. Adjust the
color intensity of the picture. Adjust the color saturation using the
= and - buttons (RCU) or pushing the control disk to the left or to
the right (local keypad). A bar scale gives a visual indication on the
screen of the current color setting while pressing on the above indicated buttons. If the bar scale is not visible on the screen, press
‘TEXT’ key once and retry the above indicated buttons. The bar
scale increases when pressing on the + button (richer colors) and
decreases when pressing the - button (lighter colors).
Tint Control
Tint is only active for Video and S-Video. Tint control is effective
only when using the NTSC 4.43 or NTSC 3.58 system. A bar scale
gives a visual indication on the screen of the current tint setting
while pressing the + or - buttons (RCU) or pushing the control disk
to the left or to the right (local keypad). If the bar scale is not visible on the screen, press the ‘TEXT’ key once and retry the above
indicated buttons.
The bar scale increases when pressing on the + button and
decreases when pressing the - button.
