RuncoCare™ Standard Claim Procedure
• In the event of a product defect, please follow the claim procedure provided below: A. Register your product if you have not yet done so. Visit http://www.runco.com/support/product-registration/ to
register the product. B. Contact your original authorized dealer or distributor who sold the product. C. The dealer/distributor will contact Runco Technical Support via email at support@runco.com or via phone at 1-800-
23-RUNCO (1-800-237-8626).
• The dealer/distributor will provide to Runco proof of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of the problem and any troubleshooting steps already attempted.
• Runco’s technical support staff will attempt to assist the dealer/distributor in troubleshooting any technical issues that might be causing the product to malfunction. If Runco is unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will be issued for the exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim is covered by the warranty. Once an RMA has been created, RMA status is available at serviceorders@runco.com.
• If an RMA is issued, the dealer or customer will need to return the defective product to the Runco repair depot location specified by the Runco technical support representative. The dealer or customer will need to properly package the defective product in a suitable shipping container consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals). Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support representative.
• The dealer or customer is responsible for paying freight charges and insurance to ship the defective product to the Runco repair depot location. If there are any shipping damages, the dealer or customer will need to address and resolve any shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.
• Runco will not accept a returned product unless an RMA has been issued by Runco.
• For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product to the dealer/distributor from the Runco repair depot. For select countries or geographies Runco will ship via an economy express service. Return delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination, and Runco is unable to deliver to PO Box and FPO Box addresses.
• Note: in the 48 contiguous United States, other options for on-site service or advance exchange for the product may apply, if you purchased the Runco PremierCare™ Service Plan.

4. Damage, deterioration, or malfunction resulting from:
A. Accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, lightning, or other acts of nature, smoke
exposure (cigarette or otherwise), unauthorized product modification (including use of an unauthorized mount), or
failure to follow instructions supplied with the product B. Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by Runco C. Any damage to the product due to shipment D.

regular cleaning of the product K. Opening the product and/or tampering with internal circuitry L. Products lost, stolen or discarded M. Any damage or dissatisfaction associated with latent images, “burnin,” or any other damage determined by Runco to
be the result of customer use patterns N. Any other cause, which does not relate to a product defect in material or workmanship

6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and specifications for the product.
7. Bright or dark sub pixels that are characteristic of LCD technology and considered by Runco to be acceptable and within Runco’s manufacturing specifications.
Specifically, it is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing process. A bright sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The sub pixels are usually hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The following are Runco’s criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the number of bright or dark sub pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and d) the Runco model size. If sub pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and will be replaced if reported within the warranty period.

3.1 Remote Control

• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as from sunshine, fire or the like.
• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR receiver on the DHD Controller.
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this
happens, point the remote control at the DHD Controller, and repeat the operation.
