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.

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
remaining time will be displayed on the screen for 2 seconds. This
text box will be displayed every time on another place.

If another key, different from EXIT, is pressed, a text box with fol­lowing text will be displayed:
Please use <EXIT> to leave this procedure.

b. Start up without warm up period.
If the EXIT key is pressed, the warm up period will be skipped and

the projector is immediately ready for use.

Warning : skipping this warm up procedure can reduce the
initial picture quality of the projected image.

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.

Sharpness Control

Sharpness control is only active for Video and S-Video. A bar scale
gives a visual indication on the screen of the current sharpness
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 ‘TEXT’ key once and retry the
above indicated buttons.
The bar scale increases when pressing on the + button (sharper
picture) and decreases when pressing on the - button (softer pic­ture).

Dynamic Astigmatism (spot shape adjustment)

The spot shape adjustments correct the spot shape in 8 different
areas on the screen and that for the three colors separately. The
spot shape is adjusted according to the axial axises and the diago­nal axises when using the arrow keys on the RCU.

These adjustments have to be done on a dot pattern (e.g. the inter­nally generated pattern) with standard line frequency (15 kHz). The
adjustment values are stored in the EEPROM and remain the same
for all frequencies.

Follow the next procedure:

Highlight ‘Dyn. Astigmatism’ by pushing the joy stick forward or
backward and press ENTER to select.

EXIT returns to the path selection main menu.

Select the source type, selected source or genlock pattern, by high­lighting the color for which the spot shape has to be corrected and
press ENTER.
e.g. when selecting RED under ‘on genlocked pattern’, the projec­tor switches to a genlocked pattern.

Press ENTER to continue adjustment.
Increase the contrast level using the Contrast Control to near maxi
mum. Using that “+” Sharpness Key, defocus the image until the
dots are large and easily visible. Press ENTER to continue to SEL.

SEL : select the adjustment area on the screen where the spot
shape has to be corrected.
Use the arrow keys to select one of the 8 areas. Press ENTER to
continue to ADJ.

ADJ : adjust the spot shape in the axial or diagonal direction when
using the arrow keys for the selected area. Adjust until the spot
shape is circular.

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.

CRT Drive Mode
The projector CRT’s can be driven with the normal current (normal

mode), a lower current (economic mode) or with a higher current
(boost mode).
To change the drive mode, highlight ‘CRT drive mode’ by pushing
the control stick forward or backward and press ENTER to display
the CRT drive mode menu.

To change the boost mode, push the control stick forward or back
ward to select a display mode and press ENTER to select.

The following modes are available:

- normal

- economic : lower drive current to the CRT’s, the lifetime of the
CRT’s will enlarge but the light output will reduce.

- temporary boost: higher drive current to the CRT’s, the lifetime of
the CRT’s will shorten but the light output will be higher. This situa­tion is temporary, when restarting the projector, the drive mode is
automatically set to normal.

- permanent boost: higher drive current to the CRT’s, the lifetime of
the CRT’s will shorten but the light output will be higher. This set­ting will be saved in the EEPROM. When restarting the projector, it
will start up in boost mode.

A warning, permanent BOOST mode in use, will be displayed to
inform the user.

When text is on, this warning will be repeated every time a new
source is selected.

APP-1

APPENDIX 1

RS 232 Control

By far, the most accurate way to control or integrate the DTV-992 / 992 ULTRA 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.

T

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-992 / 992 ULTRA and can be
entered directly into most automation systems to control all the functions of the pro­jector.

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

APPENDIX 2

EYE-QTMAutoconvergence

OVERVIEW

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

TM

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

TM

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

TM

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

TM

system:

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

TM

SETUP menu

Center the camera in EYE-Q

TM

SETUP menu
Set blanking for each edge. See GEOMETRY section.
Select AUTO-CONVERGENCE then ALIGN on current source from the EYE-Q

TM

menu

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.

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 mid­position.
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

TM

When the lens of the EYE-QTMis covered with the lens pro­tection cap, ensure to remove this cap first before starting the
adjustment procedure for the EYE-QTM.

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
automatically.

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.

menu.

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

TM

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

TM

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

Learning a reference needs only to be done when the EYE-Q is setting up
Geometry for the green. In typical applications, green geometry is completed
manually and EYE-Q is used to autoconverge red + blue colors to the green.

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

TM

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

TM

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

TM

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.

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-Q

TM

projects 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

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;
