9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of
the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by Runco.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could
cause damage to this unit.
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to
removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

Introduction
Note
The Runco RS-440 DLP Projector combines a highly efficient optical light engine with
broad installation and integration options.
Runco has implemented a host of advancements into the projector’s light engine to take
full advantage of its widescreen, high-definition SuperOnyx™ Digital Micromirror Device
(DMD™) chip. The RS-440 features Enhanced GEN 3™ technology to produce deeper
blacks, greater contrast ratio and brightness, and richly saturated colors.
Among the RS-440’s features are a sophisticated color-balancing system that results in
the industry’s best gray scale tracking, and far surpasses the capabilities of CRT
projectors. Accurate gray scale reproduction is vital to vibrant, true-to-life color
reproduction, as well as superior black level and white level performance. Runco’s
acclaimed Vivix™ video processing and scaling assure pristine video imagery, while the
RS-440’s generous light output capability is powerful enough to handle screens as large
as 96 inches wide with ease.
The RS-440 features a 16:9 aspect ratio resolution of 1280 x 720. It provides an HDMI
input for pure digital video signal transmission. In addition, the projector’s broad lens shift
capability, variable throw distance, and electronic horizontal and vertical keystone
correction allow for flexible placement within virtually any theater environment. Discrete IR
and/or serial control makes it simple to partner the RS-440 with other audio/video
components and automated control systems for a truly high-end, home cinema system.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the RS-440 can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending CineWide™
technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater.
When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply
gets wider while full height is maintained.
