Warranty Coverage
Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided below.
If, in Runco’s sole determination, a product proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period,
Runco will repair the product, replace the product with a substantially similar new or like-new product, or refund a prorata
share of the purchase price (calculated based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current MSRP
product), if repair or replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible. Runco has sole discretion in
determining whether a same or like model is offered, and what constitutes a “substantially similar model.”
Length of Warranty
Runco products are warranted for two (2) years from the date of shipment from Runco. Lamps are warranted six (6) months
from the date of shipment or 1000 hours of use, whichever comes first. All other accessories, which include but are not limited
to, cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product, are warranted for ninety (90)
days from the date of the original shipment of the accessory.
Eligibility
This RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty is valid only for the first customer who purchases the covered product from an
authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable. You may be required to provide proof of purchase in

RuncoCare Claim Procedure
In the event of a product defect, please follow the warranty claim procedure provided below:
1. The Customer is required to contact a Runco dealer or Runco Technical Support via email at support@runco.com or via
phone at (toll free) (800) 23RUNCO (800-237-8626). If the customer is located outside North America, call +3589 4200
554 in Europe for product service.
2. Be prepared to provide the date of purchase, the place of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of
the problem and troubleshooting steps already attempted.
3. Runco Technical Support staff will attempt to correct any minor issues that may be causing the problem. 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 was made within the coverage period of the Standard
Limited Warranty.
4. If it is determined that the Standard Limited Warranty applies to the claim, the customer will need to return the defective
product to the Runco repair depot location specified by the Runco technical support representative. The customer will
need to properly package the defective product, consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g.,
cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals) and return it to the Runco repair depot specified by
the technical support representative. It is the customer’s responsibility to properly package the hardware, include all
appropriate materials, and return it to the location specified by the Runco technical support department. The customer will
need to address and resolve any shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.
5. The customer is responsible for providing a suitable box to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot.
Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support representative.
6. The customer is responsible for paying freight charges to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot.
7. For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product (which shall not include
accessories--e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product) to the
customer from the Runco repair depot.

Runco’s manufacturing specifications. (See “Sub Pixel Policy,” below.)
8. Second day shipment delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination and Runco is unable to deliver
to PO Box and FPO Box addresses
Sub Pixel Policy
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. If there are issues with bright or dark sub pixels, gather the information listed above and call or email
support@runco.com.

sleek design encompasses incredible performance, this stylish combination of legendary
Runco engineering and impactful design yield a powerhouse that elevates the bar for
affordable home theater projection.
Designed inside and out by Runco’s award-winning engineering and design team, the
LS-HB incorporates Runco’s proprietary engineering, advanced features and
performance enhancements to achieve an elevated home theater experience.
The LS-HB is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus and lens
shift controls and a throw range of 1.89:1 to 2.40:1. For installations requiring shorter
throw distances, the LS-HB is optionally available with a lens that offers a throw range of
1.59:1 to 1.86:1.
To ensure a perfect fit in any room at any time, the LS-HB incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging
Science Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance in various rooms and
lighting conditions. These calibration tools feature day and night calibration memory
settings, individual sharpness and noise reduction controls, programmable image memory
selection keys, built-in test patterns and a dark room-optimized remote.
Runco’s advanced ViVix™ digital video processing enhances the LS-HB picture quality
and provide artifact-free scaling. Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input
source, aspect ratio and power on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless
integration with automation control systems.
For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the LS-HB can also be paired with one of Runco’s
award-winning anamorphic lens solutions. Through an ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, the Runco anamorphic lens system
maintains constant image height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer
transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply
gets wider while image height is maintained. The projection system is able to use the full
pixel array, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased
brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture
information.

• 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.
• In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the screen which will
reflect the IR signal from the remote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In
some cases, however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote
control at the projector and try again.
• 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.
