6. Do not block any ventilation openings.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could

2 Runco SC-1 Owner’s Operating Manual
Introduction
When you select a Signature Cinema projector as the centerpiece of your home cinema,
Runco becomes your partner in achieving the most extraordinary entertainment
experience. As part of this personalized approach, Runco has engineered the SC-1 with a
variety of setup tools allowing installation professionals to customize this projector for your
unique home.
The SC-1 uses the exclusive Signature CineStep Process™ to produce exceptionally
deep black levels, dynamic contrast and detail, and eliminate undesirable RGB
characteristics associated with digital projection. With seven lens choices as well as
anamorphic lens options, the Signature Cinema SC-1 can be tailored for use in any home.
Its tremendous light output is suitable for screens as wide as 40 feet, while the system’s
digital controller eliminates any video artifacts while faithfully processing input signals.
The SC-1 incorporates today’s most advanced widescreen DLP™ technology, with three
SuperOnyx™ DMDs™ boasting a phenomenal native resolution of 2048 x 1080. Runco
has engineered Imaging Science Foundation™ calibration standards into the SC-1 for the
purest video performance, and has incorporated horizontal and vertical lens shift controls
to resolve even the most difficult projector placement issues.
The SC-1 is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD)
Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing. The DHD 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.
IMINAR
Y
L
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the SC-1 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. Also available with the SC-1 is CineWide with
AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

Controls and Functions
1. DOOR RELEASE
To access SC-1 internal components, press this button to release the hinged door on
the top of the projector. After closing the door, press the button again to latch it.
2. STATUS / CONTROL PANEL
For a detailed description, refer to SC-1 Control Panel on page 9.
3. EXHAUST DUCT
Connect the projector’s 8” top exhaust hole to a rigid duct. Add a 50/60-Hz heat
extractor at the opposite end of the duct so that adequate airflow (at least 600 cubic
feet per minute) is maintained near the top of the projector. The vane switch in this
vent will prevent start-up and/or trigger a shutdown if airflow is inadequate.
4. HORIZONTAL OFFSET KNOB ACCESS
This opening provides access to the horizontal offset knob, for adjusting the projected
image position left or right relative to the lens center. (Use a 4.0-mm hex wrench.)
5. INPUT PANEL
Connect the DHD Controller to the projector here; refer to Connecting the DHD
Controller to the SC-1 on page 32.
6. AC INPUT
Connects the projection head to the main power supply/lamp ballast.
7. BALLAST CONTROL CONNECTOR (9-pin, D-sub male)
Connects the RS-232 control signals between the ballast and the projection head,
enabling the projection head to dictate the amount of current (or power) to be
supplied from the ballast to the projection head.
8. BALLAST SAFETY INTERLOCK CONNECTOR (9-pin, D-sub female)
Connects the RS-232 safety interlock signals and the Lamp Enable signal between
the ballast and the projection head.
9. POWER SUPPLY/LAMP BALLAST
Provides power to the projector lamp and other projector components. Normally
mounted at the rear of the projection head, but can also be detached.
10. 220-VAC LINE CORD
Use this to connect the SC-1 to your AC power source.

Intake air flows through the filter before circulating in the front compartment to cool
the main electronics. Replace the air filter whenever the lamp is replaced – or more
often in dusty or dirty environments. Check condition monthly. Refer to
Replacement on page 91 for detailed instructions.
13. FRONT IR SENSOR
Receives IR commands from the TheaterMaster remote control.
14. FOCUS KNOB
Located directly under the primary lens. Use this to focus projected image.
15. VERTICAL OFFSET KNOB ACCESS
Remove this plastic cover to access the vertical offset knob, for adjusting the
projected image position up or down, relative to the lens center.
The SC-1 requires a dedicated, 220-VAC/30A circuit. Connect
only the SC-1 to this circuit.

• 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.
• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR receiver on the DHD Controller.
• 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.
• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this
happens, point the remote control at the DHD Controller, and repeat the operation.
