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 order to receive warranty services.

RuncoCare Claim Procedure
In the event of a product defect, please follow the warranty claim procedure provided below:
1. The Customer is required to contact a Runco dealer or Runco Technical Support via email at support@runco.com or via phone at (toll free) (800) 23RUNCO (800-237-8626). If the customer is located outside North America, call +3589 4200 554 in Europe for product service.
2. Be prepared to provide the date of purchase, the place of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of the problem and troubleshooting steps already attempted.
3. Runco Technical Support staff will attempt to correct any minor issues that may be causing the problem. If Runco is unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will be issued for the exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim was made within the coverage period of the Standard Limited Warranty.
4. If it is determined that the Standard Limited Warranty applies to the claim, the customer will need to return the defective product to the Runco repair depot location specified by the Runco technical support representative. The customer will need to properly package the defective product, consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals) and return it to the Runco repair depot specified by the technical support representative. It is the customer’s responsibility to properly package the hardware, include all appropriate materials, and return it to the location specified by the Runco technical support department. The customer will need to address and resolve any shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.
5. The customer is responsible for providing a suitable box to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot. Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support representative.
6. The customer is responsible for paying freight charges to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot.
7. For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product (which shall not include accessories--e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product) to the customer from the Runco repair depot.

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 Distance Throw 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

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 Optics In 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.

Installation
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.

Ventilation If 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.

Other Considerations Other 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.

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.
Digital Video Connection: Connect the “HDMI Out To Display” connector on the DHD Controller to the DVI-I input in Slot 2 of the SC-50d/SC-60d as shown in Figure 3-9.

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:
1. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.
2. Select Calibration from the Main Menu and enter the Calibration Menu passcode.
You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu.

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 time after turning on the system.

Picture

Picture Use 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.

Height: Select Height from the Input Position menu to change the projected image height. Press to increase the height; press to decrease it.
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.

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.

Display Color: Use the Display Color settings to adjust the color balance at the DHD Controller output. These settings are saved independently for each input and display mode.
•Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red (Pr), 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.
Mode: With the SC-50d/SC-60d, two Gamma adjustment modes are available:
Simple or Advanced. The two modes are mutually exclusive; when you select the Simple mode, the Advanced selection in the Gamma menu is grayed out. Likewise, when you select Advanced, the Simple selection is grayed out.
Simple: Use the Simple Gamma control to perform gamma correction at the display
according to a simple power law gamma function. The value chosen here corresponds to the power variable in this equation:

•Lamp: Select Lamp from the Display Color menu to adjust the projector lamp brightness.
Mode: With the SC-50d/SC-60d, two lamp adjustment modes are available: Power
(recommended) or Intensity. The two modes are mutually exclusive; when you select the Power mode, the Intensity selection in the Lamp menu is grayed out. Likewise, when you select Intensity, the Power selection is grayed out.
Power: To supply a constant wattage to the lamp, select Mode from the Lamp
menu and set it to Power. Then, select Power from the Lamp menu to set the lamp power level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (this is the default setting) or you can choose a lower setting. Generally, lower lamp output prolongs the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.
Intensity: To maintain a constant brightness level, select Mode from the Lamp
menu and set it to Intensity. Then, select Intensity from the Lamp menu to specify the desired brightness level. The projector automatically adjusts the amount of power applied to the lamp as needed to maintain the desired brightness level.
Note
• Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color temperature. Color temperature establishes the “color of gray” by adjusting the 75% white point to various color points.
What are “color points?” A “color point” is an x/y coordinate pair that defines a color’s location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in Figure 4-7. (CIE stands for “Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage” (International Commission on Illumination), the organization responsible for color measurement and management standards.)

Operation
•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.

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 page 68 or Memory Presets on page 62.)
Output Shift: The controls in the Output Shift menu are similar to those in the Input Position menu, except that they change the characteristics of the output signal. These settings are saved independently for each aspect ratio.

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.

•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.
Operation
Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change the IR code to
Tip
When you change a remote code on the DHD Controller, you must re-program the DHD Controller remote control to send that same code. To do this:
1. Press and hold the LIGHT button on the remote control for approximately three seconds, or until the LED on the remote lights solid red.
2. Enter a new two-digit code between 00 and 31 inclusive. Include a leading zero for single-digit codes; for example, enter 9 as “09.”
3. The LED turns off to confirm the code change. If you enter an invalid code, the LED flashes for three or four seconds. Try again, entering a valid code.

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 provided by a display device to describe its capabilities to a graphics card. It is what enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected.
Some modern display devices provide more information via EDID than others, in the form of “extensions.” Some computer graphics cards do recognize or properly interpret this extended EDID information.
Select HDMI EDID Extension from the HDMI menu to specify whether or not the EDID extensions from the display device are passed through to the 3Dimension Processor and to the sources connected to the HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 inputs. By default, the extensions are on. Change these settings only if HDMI EDID incompatibility issues arise.
•Audio Format: Select Audio Format from the HDMI menu to choose an option for routing the audio signal from an HDMI source. With the SC-50d/SC-60d, the recommended setting is HDMI Out (Audio Only). (This is also the default setting.)
•CEC: This control chooses whether or not the DHD Controller responds to HDMI CEC control messages from a disc player, set-top box or other HDMI source.
