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.

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.

CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM RUNCO AUTHORIZED DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY.

MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT INSTALLATION AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RUNCO DEALER TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH YOUR RUNCO PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

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.

IMPORTANT – WARRANTY REGISTRATION:

Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Runco knows how to reach you promptly if we should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.

CONTACT A RUNCO AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER TO OBTAIN SERVICE:

Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Runco video product will be performed at the location of the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating distance from a Runco Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Runco factory for repairs. If, solely in Runco’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest Runco Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Runco factory, it is the owner’s responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Runco Dealer. If this is not possible, contact Runco directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Runco will return product transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping costs will be the responsibility of the owner.

PlasmaWall XP Series Owner’s Operating Manual

Introduction

The PlasmaWall XP Series Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor and DHD Controller establish a higher threshold for flat panel display products. The PlasmaWall XP Series is available in three sizes, including our largest and highest-resolution plasma ever, at 103 inches diagonal and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) native resolution.

The PlasmaWall takes picture quality to a whole new level, boasting our brightest picture, best contrast ratio, deepest black levels and most spot-on high definition colorimetry ever! In addition, sophisticated 16-bit digital video processing, a new milestone, results in 4096 steps of graduation for seamless images completely devoid of the primitive "solarization" and "stair stepping" characteristics previously plaguing digital flat panel displays.

The PlasmaWall features all of the Runco technologies you have come to expect from the World's Finest Home Theater Products. Discrete, multiple aspect ratio control includes VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 content in widescreen without appreciable picture degradation, as well as ISF(ccc) calibration modes to easily maintain ISF standards. The automation interface includes RS-232 control with discrete aspect ratio, input and power on/off selection.

The included DHD with HDMI Digital Video Controller/Processor provides a pure digital signal path from input to output as well as a broad array of video input choices, all available from its position in the equipment rack, with only digital video and command cables running to the display itself.

The PlasmaWall not only represents a leap forward in high definition flat-panel technology, but our engineering advances in plasma design ensure that it will enjoy a long life in any installation, with operation extending to as much as 60,000 hours. At less than 5-3/4 inches thin, the PlasmaWall provides unlimited installation flexibility as well.

For high-altitude installations, Runco also offers the XP-50DHDxa and XP-65DHDxa with industry-leading, high-altitude compliance to 9,100 feet mean sea level (MSL). The xa versions share all other features and specifications with the XP-50DHD, XP-65DHD and XP-103DHD.

The PlasmaWall offers these key features and benefits:

16:9 Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080

Multiple Aspect Ratios with VirtualWide™ Mode

Includes the new DHD with HDMI video controller/processor

65-inch diagonal image area

Less than 5-3/4 inches thin

Models XP-50DHDxa and XP-65DHDxa are high-altitude compliant to 9,100 feet
