THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For Plasma Displays
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 is 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.
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.
L
PRE
TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (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).
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.

WARRANTY. MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP

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

exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from

Introduction
The PlasmaWall™ is large enough to be used as the centerpiece of any home theater, yet
slim enough (less than five inches) to be used in any type of room environment. Its size is
only one of its advantages. It also has HDTV resolution of 1365 x 768, is bright enough to
be used in any lighting situation, and can be mounted on a wall or placed on a tabletop.
The PlasmaWall is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, all-digital DHD Controller,
featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing. This controller produces stunning video imagery,
elevating even standard NTSC material to near high-definition levels.
Multiple aspect ratio control includes Runco’s VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 material in
widescreen with no loss of picture quality. The DHD provides for a pure digital signal path
from input to output, making this system ready for Runco’s exclusive LiveLink™ DVI cable
solution to preserve HD signal quality over long runs.
Y
The PlasmaWall has been skillfully engineered for the finest video performance at altitudes
of up to 9,000 feet. The advanced design features both RS-232C and IR control interfaces
to accommodate custom installation and everyday operation with ease.
• Native Resolution: 1365 x 768 (16:9 Native Aspect Ratio)
• Screen Size (diagonal): 61 inches
• Multiple Aspect Ratios with VirtualWide™ Mode
• Less than five inches deep
• DVI Input with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
