DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. ALSO DO NOT USE
THIS UNIT’S POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLETS, UNLESS THE
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED. REFRAIN FROM
OPENING THE CABINET AS THERE ARE HIGH-VOLTAGE
COMPONENTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This symbol warns the user that uninsulated
voltage within the unit may have sufficient
magnitude to cause electric shock.
Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind
of contact with any part inside of this unit.
This symbol alerts the user that important
literature concerning the operation and
maintenance of this unit has been included.
Therefore, it should be read carefully in
order to avoid any problems.
WARNING
Warnings and Safety Precaution
This plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required.
Please see the section “Plasma monitor cleaning
procedure” on the next page.
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture
elements (cells) with more than 99.99 percent active
cells. There may be some cells that do not produce
light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,
read carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit
in a closed cabinet or shelves.
If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there
is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air
to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the
overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will
be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the
monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where
the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the
monitor to a cooler location, and wait for 60 minutes to
cool the monitor. If the problem persists, contact your
dealer for service.
2. Do not use this unit’s polarized plug with extension cords
or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.
3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.
5. Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or if
the unit will not be used over a long period.
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a
serious risk of electric shock.
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. The
manufacturer is not liable for any bodily harm or damage
caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open
the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Service
Centers.
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120 V olts
AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause
a fire hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not
drop.
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the power
cord and have it serviced by an authorized Service
Center.
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly
recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer.
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
8. To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to
place the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot
spring bath.
Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:
1. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel
area. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to
clean these surfaces.
2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner
with a soft brush nozzle attachment.
3. To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation
areas must be carried out monthly. More frequent cleaning
may be necessary depending on the environment in which
the plasma monitor is installed.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in:
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain
operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a
static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in
phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. T o protect
your investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere to the
following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing
the occurrence of image burn:
* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver
function during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished
using it.
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous
operation take the following measures to reduce the
likelihood of phosphor burn:
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image readability .
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light
and dark areas, for example white characters on black
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever
possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
Note:
*
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that
will best suit your particular application needs.
THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For Plasma Display Monitors
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco video product and welcome to the Runco family! We believe
Runco produces “The World’s Finest Home Theater Products”. With proper installation, setup and care, you
should enjoy many years of unparalleled video performance.
This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and
retain it with your other important documents.
WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
SERVICE LABOR: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed as
a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of delivery to the end
user (excluding the plasma glass panel).
PARTS: (Not including plasma glass panel) Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts
that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of
delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if
any) of the original warranty period.
PLASMA GLASS PANEL: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when
needed as a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery
to the end user. In addition, Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to
defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end
user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original
warranty period.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
Image burn-in on plasma display panels are specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.
Image burn-in is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the terms of this
Limited Warranty.
TO AVOID IMAGE BURN-IN:
Please ensure that still images are left on your plasma display panel for no more than a few minutes. Also
ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information
is present on the left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent
permanent image burns on your plasma display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain conditions
once burn-in has occurred.
The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool bars
and icons. (This is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from burning into
the monitor’s phosphors after being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).
Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for
extended periods of time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD players
are also equipped with screen savers for this reason.
This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal
use and does not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any appearance
items; failure resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper
installation or setup adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal; damage
due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or transit; or
damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote control units, damage resulting from leaking,
old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.
CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM
AND INSTALLED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY
EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED
FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
RIGHTS, LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:
Runco limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the
warranty period. There are no express warranties. Runco also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental
or consequential damages related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
EFFECTIVE WARRANTY DATE:
This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original
bill of sale as evidence of the purchase date.

2. LOOP OUT can not be turned ON while signals are input to RGB1 terminal.
3. LOOP OUT can be turned ON while signals are input to RGB1 terminal if the POWER is switched ON.
Information
• To loop signals out to another plasma display, set the LOOP OUT to ON.
• To create a video wall, set the VIDEO WALL menu items properly.
• To connect monitors, please use a 1~2m (3.3~6.6 feet) BNC cable (any commercially available cable).
• If the image quality is poor, do not use the monitor’s out terminal. Use a distribution amplifier (any commercially
available distribution amplifier) to connect the split signals to the respective monitor INPUT terminals.
• Being used as a video wall function, maximaly 4-screen is rough-standard with lower than 1024768, 60Hz
signal.
• A distribution amplifier is particularly recommended when using a 9-screen video wall.
• From the second monitor onward, connections require a BNC-RCA conversion cable or connector, a mini D-Sub
15 pin cable-BNC (5) cable or a conversion connector.

Cable Management
Using the cable clamps provided with the plasma display,
bundle at the back of the unit the signal and audio cables
connected to the display.
* The cable clamp will differ according to the model.
The PL-61cx system consists of the PFP Controller and the PL-61cx Plasma monitor. This system is
unique in the way it is controlled; the control center for this system is located within the PFP™ Controller.
The Controller tells the Plasma to turn on or off, controls its brightness, contrast, color temperature and
more. All of this is accomplished by Runco's unique ComLink, which is the transfer of information between
the Controller and the Plasma via their ComLink ports (on an RJ-11 cable). Therefore, only the PFP™
Controller's remote control is necessary to control all aspects of this system. In a nutshell, this is a fully integrated video display system, of which its components all work together to bring you the video quality and
functionality needed in a quality home theater.
Besides being the system's control center, the PFP Controller is also a high-quality scaler, which outputs all
signals in the native resolution of the PL-61cx Plasma monitor. The Composite, S-video and Component
(non-progressive) signals are sent through the PFP™ Controller's 10-bit decoder, de-interlaced then scaled
to the native resolution of the Plasma. This method of scaling is the most efficient and provides the best
results since the Plasma does not have to do any 're-scaling'.
In the next chapter, the menu system will be described in detail. There are many adjustments available to
perfect the PL-61cx's image, including typical 'front-panel controls' as well as color temperature and other
image-quality controls.

Quick Set-up Guide
Connection Examples
While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your PFP Controller, the examples shown above are the most common and are recommended by Runco.
• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT:
Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality. Many
sources have outputs that are limited to Composite video, such as some VCR’s and camcorders. Others,
such as Laser Disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using Composite video. While the
PFP Controller has an excellent decoder for Composite video, it is recommended that Composite video be
used only if necessary.
• S-VIDEO INPUT
S-Video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than Composite video. Using
such sources as satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with no Component output) willproduce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal. Decoder artifacts that are associated with Composite video
(dot crawl and ‘rainbows’) are non-existent when using S-Video.
• COMPONENT INPUT
Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that use
Component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that Component be used when possible. Component video goes one step beyond S-Video in picture quality; chroma (color) information is more
resolved and the overall picture appears more well-defined.
• HDTV/COMPUTER
All HDTV signals must be input into this port. It may also be used for other high-resolution signals such as
progressive DVD players or computers.

Picture quality adjustments (also known as "Front Panel Controls") are the controls that change different parameters
of the image such as the amount of color, black level, etc. While these adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the
user, there is a way to set these properly. This section will describe what each function does and how to adjust them
properly.
To access the picture quality adjustments, press MENU, highlight the active source (indicated by the arrow) and press
ENTER. The picture quality sub-menu will then appear (see above).
To make an adjustment to a particular function, highlight the function with the up or down arrow
buttons and press ENTER. Once the function is on-screen (i.e. brightness), pressing the UP arrow button on the
remote or front panel will increase the value of that function; pressing the DOWN arrow on the remote or front panel
will decrease the value of that function.
While each of the picture quality adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a
'proper' way to set the adjustments. For setting TINT and COLOR, please refer to the color bar test pattern below.
NOTE: Runco recommends that a BLUE FILTER be used so only the blue color bars can be seen. Blue filters are provided with the Video Essentials or AVIA test DVDs, or can be purchased from the Imaging Science Foundation
(www.imagingscience.com).

Color
TINT (also known as 'hue') is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.
If TINT is decreased, the image will appear redder, and increasing it will cause the image to appear greener. To set TINT properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter. Adjust TINT until the middle two
tall color bars match the middle short color bars (see color bar drawing).
COLOR
(also known as 'saturation') increases or decreases the amount of color in the image.
To set COLOR properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter. Adjust COLOR until the outer two
tall color bars match the outer short color bars (see color bar drawing).
For setting CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS, please refer to the PLUGE pattern below:
CONTRAST adjusts the white level of the image. Adjust contrast until there is a distinct definition between
the two brightest bars.
NOTE: For best results, Runco recommends that CONTRAST be set to 'midrange' or very close to it.
BRIGHTNESS
adjusts the black level of the image. To adjust this properly, adjust BRIGHTNESS until the
'below black' bar JUST disappears, but the 'above black' bar is still barely visible.
NOTE: Some DVD players cannot pass the 'blacker than black' bar (they won't pass PLUGE), and that bar
will never be visible. In a case like this, adjust the 'above black' bar until it is slightly brighter than the background that surrounds it.

SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become
'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear 'noisy' if
adjusted too high.
LUMA
ENHANCE acts as an edge enhancement, especially around black to white transitions in the image.
Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects far more that
the rest of the image.
FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the LUMA ENHANCE feature. For example, if using
a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set to LOW. For a good quality source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH. To set FREQUENCIES, press ENTER while
LUMA ENHANCE is on-screen.
Note:
Luma Enhance will only appear in the menu after the installation mode has been enabled.
CHROMA
ENHANCE acts as an edge enhancement, especially around color transitions in the image.
Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects far more that
the rest of the image.
FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the CHROMA ENHANCE feature. For example, if
using a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set to LOW. For a good
quality source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH. To set FREQUENCIES, press ENTER
while CHROMA ENHANCE is on-screen.
Note:
Chroma Enhance will only appear in the menu after the installation mode has been enabled.
COLOR
BALANCE sets the overall color temperature of the image. When Color Balance is selected, you
will get a menu with Red Gain, Green Gain, Blue Gain, Red Offset, Green Offset and Blue Offset. The Gain
Controls increase or decrease the amount of that color in the brightest areas of the image; the Offset
Controls affect the darkest areas. This should be adjusted using a gray scale or Pluge pattern for best
results.
Note:
Color Balance will only appear in the menu after the installation mode has been enabled.

The Installation menu is where you can adjust the image orientation, adjust keystone and even check the age of
the lamp in the Plasma.
When the Controller is turned on for the first time, the INSTALLATION item will not appear in the main menu.
To enable the INSTALLATION menu, there are two options:
· With the processor ON and no menus on-screen, simultaneously press the ENTER, UP and LEFT buttons (you
don't need to hold them down). Release the three buttons and press MENU, ensure INSTALLER ADJUST is now
on the bottom of the main menu.
· With the remote control, press button 6 (with no menus on-screen). After pressing '6', press MENU and ensure
INSTALLER ADJUST is now on the bottom of the main menu.
After INSTALLER MODE has been accessed, press MENU, highlight INSTALLER ADJUST and press ENTER.
This will bring up the INSTALLATION MENU, shown here:
Installation Menu
Once the installation mode has been enabled, you will also be able to
access Luma Enhance, Chroma Enhance and Color Balance. These
items will not appear anywhere in the menu until the installation mode
is enabled.
Side Bar Level
Phosphor-based displays such as Plasma (flat panel) displays, can be 'burned' by still-images or otherwise not
using the full display or raster. Examples of this include ATM's, where the bank logo is permanently burned into
the display. This is also the reason why most Plasma manufacturers strongly recommend against the use of video
games with projection televisions, as many video games have still images in them.
Besides still images, using a 4:3 image on a widescreen display could cause a '4:3 burn'
(see below):

The example on the previous page shows what would happen on a widescreen display if a small 4:3 image were used
more often than widescreen images.
To minimize this problem, the PL-61cx can provide SIDE BARS, which will put grey bars up on either side of a small
4:3 image (see 'side bar area' in the drawing above). This illuminates the otherwise unused portion of the display, minimizing a potential 4:3 burn.
SIDE BAR LEVEL is the amount of illumination in the side bars. The goal is not to make them so bright that they are
much brighter than the 4:3 image itself (which could cause a reverse 4:3 burn), but not too dim where they cannot be
effective. While there is not a recommended level, Runco recommends keeping the side bar level at a moderate level,
approximately the same as the average light used on the 4:3 portion of the image.
To use side bar level, it will be necessary to 'unblank' the left and right sides of the image. Please follow this procedure to set side bar level:
·Ensure an active source is displayed on the screen or display.
·Select the standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
·Access the INSTALLATION menu, highlight BLANKING and press ENTER.
·Highlight LEFT with the up or down arrow buttons, then press and hold the left arrow button. You will begin to see
the sidebar slowly appear on the left side.
NOTE: If you do not see the sidebar begin to appear, increase the Side Bar Level and retry. Continue holding
down the left arrow button until the left sidebar fills the left side of the screen.
·When the left side is fully unblanked, perform the same procedure for the right side.
·Once both sides are fully unblanked, you can set the level of the sidebars. Highlight SIDE BAR LEVEL on the
INSTALLATION menu and press ENTER. Use the up arrow button to increase the illumination of the side
bars, or the down arrow to decrease their illumination.
NOTE: It is recommended that an active image be displayed on-screen, and the level of the sidebars be set
to match the average amount of illumination on the 4:3 portion of the image.
Runco PL-61cx

Invert
If an image has been accidentally 'burned' into the display, the INVERT function will invert the colors so as to try to
neutralize any 'burn' in the image. For example, white areas will become black, black areas will become white, etc.
In order for this to be effective, you MUST have the exact same image on-screen that was burned into the image, and
it must be in the exact same place (ensure it was not electronically shifted). The amount of time the invert feature
should be left on depends on the severity of the burn. Runco recommends that if you know how long the image was
left on, leave the image 'inverted' for 50% of that time and re-evaluate the burn. Otherwise, leave it on for increments
of an hour or two and re-evaluate the burn each time.
23
The OUTPUT SHIFT function shifts the entire image (including sidebars) up, down left or right. When you are centering the overall image, use output shift. If an image needs to be centered within the sidebars, use INPUT SHIFT (see
below).
Output Shift
Input Shift
The INPUT SHIFT function shifts the video signal before it is processed. This is very effective if using a source that
either is slightly out of phase or is otherwise off-center in relation to other sources. Examples of this include Satellite
TV signals, or the output of a TIVO recorder. (TIVO users may find that a black bar exists on the right side of the
image. If so, use INPUT SHIFT to move the image to the right).
IR Code Select
If the remote control loses its 'memory' as a result of weak or dead
batteries, it must be re-programmed for the PFP Controller's code set.
To reprogram the remote to the default IR Code Set, press the
PROGRAM button followed by 0,1,3. If you have set the Controller for
a different Code Set, enter that number instead of 0,1,3.
Note: Pressing Enter after typing in the code is not necessary.
To troubleshoot remote control problems, change the code by accessing the IR Code Set in the Installation Menu.IR Code Set allows the
installer to choose from one of four different sets of IR codes. If the
default code has commands that are conflicting other equipment, try
using one of the other code sets.
When IR CODE SET is selected in the menu, you will get four code set
options- 013, 215, 510 and 918. These numbers correspond to the
number that is programmed into the remote control itself. For example,
if you wish to use IR code set 510, you would first select '510 code set'
from the menu, then program the remote for code 510 (as described
above). You may also disable the IR receiver on the Controller all
together by selecting 'Deactivated'. In the event the Controller has
been reset, the IR code set will default to 013.
'Menu/Enter' invert allows the menu and enter buttons on the remote
to reverse their functions; if 'YES' is selected, the menu button will
become the enter button, and the enter button will become the menu
button. This affects the remote ONLY.

System Reset
In the event that your PL-61cx appears to have a software problem, or adjustments have been made so far out of
range that the image is no longer on-screen or discernable, you can reset the processor back to factory values. This
sets ALL settings back to factory values, so any adjustments made previously will be lost.
T
o reset your PL-61cx, follow this procedure:
· Turn off the MAIN POWER switch on the back of the processor
· Hold down the DOWN ARROW button, and turn the MAIN POWER SWITCH back on.Continue holding the
down arrow button until the LED on the front panel blinks, then release the down arrow button.
Once this is done, your processor has been completely reset to factory values. After resetting the unit, Composite video
will be the active source.
SYSTEM RESET is not on any of the menus; it must be performed using the instructions above.
Blanking
The BLANKING function allows you to 'cut off' part of the image to fit the screen properly, or to eliminate anomalies on
the extreme outsides (usually the top) of the image. This can be done to the top, bottom, left or right sides individual-
ly.
To adjust BLANKING, highlight the desired area you wish to blank (top, bottom, left or right), and use the left and right
arrows to make the adjustment.

In between commands, a comma must be used; a comma or space may be used in between
a command and its value. A carriage return must be used at the end of a command or string.
Other notes:
· A carriage return is required at the end of each command or string.
· For Command strings, a maximum of 255 characters can be used in a single string.
· If it is necessary to input multiple commands, they should all be together in a single string. Inputting com-
mands one at a time requires a 15 second delay between commands, as the information is stored into nonvolatile memory after each command.
· For values not automatically stored (see next paragraph), the command "!STORE" must be sent in order
for the PFP Controller to keep the settings. Otherwise, the values will be considered temporary and will
revert to their stored settings upon source change or power-up.
· The Value Stored column refers to a command that is either automatically stored or if it must be manually stored with the "!STORE" command.
· PARAMETER min/max refers to a function's minimum and maximum value range. Inputting
values above or below their range may cause unpredictable (but not fatal) results. If NA appears in this column, the NA numerical parameter needs to be included with the command itself.

Remedy
* 1 Overheat Protector
If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to
the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location and
wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your Runco Authorized Dealer.
* 2 In the following case, power off the monitor immediately and contact your Runco Authorized Dealer or Runco Authorized Service Center. The
monitor turns off 5 seconds after powering on and then the POWER/STANDBY indicator blinks. It indicates that the power supply circuit, plasma
display panel or temperature sensor have been damaged.

PFP™ Controller Troubleshooting
The following is a basic troubleshooting guide that can assist you in resolving typical problems may result
in normal operation. If you have encountered problems that are not listed in this guide, please contact your
Runco dealer for assistance.
The Plasma does not turn on
after initial installation. The
Power LED on the front of
the Controller stays
yellow after the power button
is pressed.
The Plasma and Controller
are both on, but there is no
video image on-screen.
· The RJ-11 (ComLink) cable
is not connected between the
Controller and Plasma, or is
made improperly.
· The Plasma is not plugged
in, or its AC outlet is not
active. Look at its power LED
on the front panel.
· The Controller is on the
wrong source.
· The Controller is on the
correct source, but the source
itself is off.
· Use a standard RJ-11
phone-type cord. Ensure it
is firmly plugged into both
the Controller and the
Plasma.
· Ensure there is good continuity in the RJ-11 cable.
· Verify that the AC outlet is
active, or that the Plasma
is plugged in by turning on
the main power switch
located at the rear of the
unit.
· Press MENU on the
Plasma's remote, and look
to see which source is
active (the arrow will be
pointing to the active
source). Select the correct
source as appropriate.
· Turn on the source. It is
recommended that all
sources be turned on first
before
the PL-61cx.
