Warranty Coverage
Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided below.
If, in Runco’s sole determination, a product proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period,
Runco will repair the product, replace the product with a substantially similar new or like-new product, or refund a prorata
share of the purchase price (calculated based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current MSRP
product), if repair or replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible. Runco has sole discretion in
determining whether a same or like model is offered, and what constitutes a “substantially similar model.”
Length of Warranty
Runco products are warranted for two (2) years from the date of shipment from Runco. Lamps are warranted six (6) months
from the date of shipment or 1000 hours of use, whichever comes first. All other accessories, which include but are not limited
to, cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product, are warranted for ninety (90)
days from the date of the original shipment of the accessory.
Eligibility
This RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty is valid only for the first customer who purchases the covered product from an
authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable. You may be required to provide proof of purchase in

8. Second day shipment delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination and Runco is unable to deliver
to PO Box and FPO Box addresses
Sub Pixel Policy
It is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing process. A bright
sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The sub pixels are usually
hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The following are Runco’s
criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the number of bright or dark sub
pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and d) the Runco model size. If sub
pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and will be replaced if reported within the
warranty period. If there are issues with bright or dark sub pixels, gather the information listed above and call or email
support@runco.com.

The SC-50d/SC-60d ships with two remote control units:
• A standard Runco DHD Controller remote control unit; and
• A “setup” remote control unit for making lens adjustments.
Only the setup remote control can be used to perform lens shift, zoom and focus
adjustments. For this reason, you must use it to complete the initial SC-50d/SC-60d
installation and setup. After you have completed the installation, only the standard DHD
Controller remote control is needed to access all projector and controller functions.

Throw DistanceThrow distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.
This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not
you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your
image will be the right size for your screen.
You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and
multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you
roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to
project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.
Estimating Throw Distance
Throw Distance (TD) =
Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio

Note: Due to normal manufacturing variances, throw distance can vary by up to +/- 5 percent from
these specifications.
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way
that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and
centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.

Folded OpticsIn rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be
used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-5. The position of the projector and
mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your
dealer for assistance.

“second-surface” mirrors with the reflective surface behind a
transparent substrate such as glass or acrylic).
IMINAR
First-surface mirrors provide a strict reflection without the “ghosting”
effect seen with a second surface mirror, where a faint secondary
reflection could be observed coming from the front surface of the
glass.
Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller
may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily
solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio
receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and
video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.
According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more
than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45
milliseconds.
In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs
to be compensated for during the installation.
Table 3-5 shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings.
Y
Table 3-5. Possible Audio Latency for Various Input Timings
VentilationIf you are mounting the SC-50d/SC-60d in an enclosure, leave at least 10 inches
(250 mm) of space on the left and right sides between it and surrounding objects, as
shown in Figure 3-6. This allows heat to disperse, maintaining the proper operating
temperature.
Figure 3-6. Ventilation Requirements for Enclosure Mounting
Other ConsiderationsOther considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
PRE
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector
away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause
drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.
• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. Proceed as follows to install
it:
1. Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector.
WARNING
2. Remove the rear cap from the lens. (Keep the front lens cap on the projection lens to
protect it from damage during the installation process.)
3. Rotate the lens clamp to the OPEN position.
Never operate this projector without a lens. The lens seals the
projector, preventing contaminants from entering the interior of the
projector.

instructions, refer to Primary Lens Adjustments: Focus, Zoom and Position on
page 41.
Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the SC-50d/SC-60d, your video
sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.
When connecting your equipment:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the correct signal cables for each source.
• For best performance and to minimize cable clutter, use high-quality cables that are
only as long as necessary to connect two devices. (Don’t use a 20-foot cable when a
6-foot cable will suffice.)
• Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on
connectors that have them.

By default, the SC-50d/SC-60d is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the
projector is installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen
and/or mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this:
1. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.
2. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode.
Note
3. Select Display Device from the Service Menu.
4. Select Configure from the Display Device menu, then select Installation.
5. Select Orientation, then choose Floor/Rear, Ceiling/Front or Ceiling/Rear, to match
the installation method.
You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu.
Projector and/or screen placement — among other things — can cause geometric
distortion in the projected image.
To correct this, the DHD Controller provides precise, nine-point control over the projected
image geometry. Use these controls as (and only if) needed to re-position the image
corners, mid-points and center to eliminate “keystoning” (mis-aligned corners) or
“pincushion” distortion (mid-points not aligned with corners). See Figure 3-21.
“Keystoning” usually occurs when the projector is tilted relative to the screen. “Pincushion”
distortion can sometimes occur if the throw distance is very short and/or the projector is
equipped with an anamorphic lens.
To correct keystoning or pincushion distortion:

CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect
ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving
the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed.
When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens
moves out of the light path.
To configure the lens motor trigger on the DHD Controller for proper AutoScope
operation:
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.
2. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.
3. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode.
Note
4. Select Tri gg er s from the Service menu.
5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and
Virtual Cinema aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic
lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected.
6. Select the Cinema or Virtual Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into
position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA or V-CINE on the DHD
Controller remote control (Figure 2-5), or press or repeatedly with no menus
visible on-screen.
You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu for the first

PictureUse the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate each DHD Controller input to achieve
optimum picture quality.
The DHD Controller has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards
established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully
crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has
implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to
obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco
recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation
technician.
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each DHD
Controller input separately.
Note
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Runco recommends using an external test pattern source
(Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent) for best
results.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE
pattern.
IMINAR

When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a
different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for
each input and display mode separately.) For information about
saving settings, refer to Memory Presets on page 62.

• The darkest black bars disappear into the background.
• The dark gray areas are barely visible.
• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.
• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).

Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.
When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image
appears greener.
To adjust the tint, enable “blue only” display mode in the Diagnostics menu, as you would

blue.
Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls

are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the
other in order to achieve the optimum setting.
Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. On your external
test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5. Adjust as needed,
looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines
in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate
them.

Overscan/Overscan Mode: Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture
area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display area.
Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television
sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan effectively
trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to
fill the display area.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or
desirable.
This control defines the amount of overscan applied to the image. The range is from
0 to 20. There are two overscan modes:
•In Crop mode, each increment adds a mask at the top, bottom, left and right edges of
the source image equal to 0.5% of the displayed horizontal resolution (1% total). A
setting of 10, for example, crops the image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
•In Zoom mode, each increment adds a factor to the scaling of the source image so
that the vertical and horizontal resolutions are 100% plus 1% increments of the size
determined by the aspect ratio function. A setting of 10, for example, zooms in on the
image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
Y
Operation
Figure 4-6 illustrates the effect of each overscan mode setting.
Phase (RGB, Component or SCART sources): This control adjusts the phase of the
pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB,
Component or SCART image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been
optimized.
Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below).
Tip
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear
pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the
slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that
you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such cases.
Tracking (RGB, Component or SCART sources): Tracking determines the frequency
of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all
pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates
poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent
across the screen, that aspect ratio is maintained and that pixel phase (see above) can be
optimized.

green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Gain for that color.
•Offset: Use the Offset controls to correct color imbalances in the dark areas of the
image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of dark gray
areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the gray areas contain traces of red (Pr),
green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Offset for that color.
• Gamma: Select Gamma from the Display Color menu to choose a de-gamma curve.
Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good
details for blacks and whites. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it
becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to
compensate. This improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks.
Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black
areas, increase the setting.

•RVR: Use the RVR control to increase or decrease the Reflectance Volume Regulation
setting. RVR lets you adjust the aperture or iris size (the physical opening through the
lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to optimize brightness
and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the viewing area.
Use a lower setting (larger aperture = higher brightness) for rooms with a lot of ambient
light. Use a higher setting (smaller aperture = higher contrast) for more “theater-like”
viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).
Note
Input Image: The Input Image controls are functionally similar to those in the Picture
menu (refer to page 56), but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu
passcode.
Note
Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see
above), but adjust the color balance of the incoming signal. These settings are also saved
independently for each input and display mode.
•Gain/Offset (HD1, HD2 and Component/SCART inputs only): These controls
operate similarly to those in the Display Color menu (described on page 65), but affect
the Y, Pb and Pr signal components rather than the red, green and blue channels.
• Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a
composite video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the
left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect. If
necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them.
•Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the
PRE
Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i
video sources.

The Input Image settings establish the “zero point” for the Picture
menu settings, whose values represent offsets from the Input
Image settings. For example, if you set Brightness to 10 in this
menu, setting Brightness to 10 in the Picture menu results in an
actual setting value of 20 (10+10).

Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction,
keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften”
the image.
Save ISF Night/Save ISF Day: Whenever you make a change to the ISF settings, you
should always save it. Select Save ISF Night or Save ISF Day from the Calibration menu to
do this.
Copy/Paste: You can copy and paste settings from one memory location to another.
This gives you a convenient starting point for creating a new preset based on an existing
one, to make the calibration process less time-consuming.
For example, you can use the Copy/Paste feature to:
• Apply settings from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2, or from HD1 to HD2.
• Calibrate an input for 720p source signals, then use those settings for 1080i sources.
• Duplicate ISF Night settings for a given source and signal format and save them in the
Custom 1 memory preset.
To use this feature, select Copy/Paste from the Calibration menu.
• Copy Settings: Select Copy Settings from the Copy/Paste menu to place the settings
for the current input source, signal format (resolution and frame rate) and memory
preset onto a “clipboard,” which is a temporary memory location. When you do, the
message “Settings Copied” briefly appears on-screen. The Copy/Paste menu then
re-appears, indicating the source of the copied settings.
Operation
Note
•Paste Settings: To apply the settings on the clipboard to a different input source,
signal format and/or memory preset, do any or all of the following:
• Switch to another input (for example, from HD1 to HD2).
• Change the output signal format at the source (for example, from 720p/60 to
1080i/60).
• Switch to another Memory Preset (for example, from ISF Night to Custom 1).
Then, select Paste Settings from the Copy/Paste menu. If you want to keep these new settings, you must save them! (Refer to Save ISF Night/Save ISF Day on

Operation
Note
Display Device - Auto Calibration: Auto Calibration is a process in which the projector
quickly optimizes critical display parameters such as size, position and pixel tracking,
based on the type of incoming video signal. Auto Calibration allows you to quickly get the
image “in the ballpark” after which you can perform further calibration, if necessary.
To perform an Auto Calibration, select Display Device from the Service Menu. Then,
select Auto Calibration and set it to Yes.
What an “Auto Calibration” Does: Auto Calibration sets the following parameters to
their default values:
• Contrast and Brightness
• Auto Input Level (off)
• Detail (if video source)
• Filter
• Luma Delay
Auto Calibration also optimizes the following settings, based on the characteristics of the
incoming signal:
• Pixel Tracking
• Pixel Phase
• Size and Blanking
• Vertical Stretch
•Position
• Input Levels
This setting has no effect on the E-Mail Notification or Auto
Firmware Upgrade functions.

Color Space: Select Color Space from the Service menu to choose the color space of
the source signal for HDMI, RGB, and component connections.
• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or
range data, the DHD Controller uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources,
the DHD Controller uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and
EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component video resolutions,
REC709 is used.
• RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the DHD Controller uses the RGB-PC
color space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709
for all other sources.
• Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the DHD Controller uses the
REC601 color space. For all other resolutions, REC709 is used.
In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not,
you can force the DHD Controller to use a specific color space. Choose one of the
following:
• REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.
• REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.
• RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at
255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image.
• RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at
235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined
in digital component standards.

• Sidebar Color: Select Sidebar Color from the Miscellaneous menu to change the
color of the inactive image area. The range is from 0 to 255 inclusive for each color
component (red, green and blue). The inactive image area is on either side of the active
image area when using the 4:3 aspect ratio.
• Film Mode: Use Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced,
standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the DHD Controller detects the proper
“pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing
you may want to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.
•CUE (Chroma Upsampling Error) Correction: Some DVD players use MPEG
decoders that do not correctly “upsample” the 4:2:0 format chroma information on the
DVD to the 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 format required by the video encoder of the display device.
This so-called “chroma bug” sometimes causes streaky or spiky horizontal lines
running through the chroma channel. It is most noticeable in static, interlaced scenes
and on diagonal edges (especially red ones). Set CUE to On to correct this issue.
• Remote Code: Select Remote Code from the Miscellaneous menu to set the infrared
(IR) code set to which the DHD Controller will respond. By default, it is set to 17. You
can change this setting if either:
• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to
commands from the DHD Controller remote control (Figure 2-5) in ways that are
unpredictable or undesirable.
• You have multiple DHD Controllers and want to control them independently, as
opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this
scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or,
you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a
specific DHD Controller.

Sync Threshold: Select Sync Threshold to adjust the threshold at which negative pulses
on the component video green/luma channel are interpreted to be sync pulses.
Sync Threshold adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source
signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles
are present) and causes the projector to temporarily lose sync. If the sync level from the
source is persistently too low, the display device won’t sync with the source at all.
The range is from 0 (approximately 60 millivolts (mV)) to 15 (approximately 300 mV).
HDMI: Select HDMI from the Service menu to set the following options affecting
communication between HDMI sources, the DHD Controller and the SC-50d/SC-60d.
• HDMI EDID Extension: Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure
