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.
L
PRE
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.

Introduction
The CinemaWall Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor combines high-resolution quality and
affordability into one package. It has all of the features that one has come to expect from a
Runco product, including high-quality video processing, aspect ratio control and ease of
use. The advanced Runco processing inside the CinemaWall combined with its high
native resolution allows the most accurate scaling for all types of signals, including DVD
(progressive or interlaced), all currently-available HDTV formats and computers.
For video originally made in film, the CinemaWall has built-in 3:2 pulldown for the sharpest
and most artifact-free images possible. Like all Runco plasmas, it can be mounted on a
wall, ceiling or placed on a tabletop and is bright enough for use in any lighting situation:
its size is such that it can be the centerpiece of many home theaters.
The CinemaWall offers a resolution of either 1365 x 768 (Models SP-50 and SP-60) or
1024 x 768 (Model SP-42). Both models include Runco’s discrete aspect ratio control
with VirtualWide™ mode to fill a 16:9 screen with standard 4:3 images without loss of
picture quality. Also included are discrete source selection, multi-language support and an
RS-232 interface for whole-house or automated control system integration.
The CinemaWall Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor has been carefully engineered with
ISF™ calibration standards for superb video performance. At less than five inches deep, it
can be wall-mounted or used on a tabletop stand.
• Screen Size (diagonal): 42 inches (Model SP-42), 50 inches (Model SP-50) or 60 inches
(Model SP-60)
• 16:9 Native Resolution: 1024 x 768 (Model SP-42) or 1365 x 768 (Models SP-50 and
SP-60)
• Multiple Aspect Ratios with VirtualWide™ Mode
• Less than 5-1/4 inches deep
• Dual DVI Inputs with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
• HDTV Compatible
• Exceptional detail and artifact-free video enhancement
• Vivix™ video processing with 3:2 film detection circuitry

3.3 Installation Considerations
High-Altitude Operation Due to the design of all plasma glass panels made by every manufacturer, and the
Proper installation of your CinemaWall will ensure the highest possible picture quality.
Whether you are installing the CinemaWall temporarily or permanently, you should take
the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.
➤
interaction between ambient air pressure and the plasma gases contained inside of the
panel, reliable operation of your plasma display cannot be assured during operation at
certain high-altitude locations.
Runco has found this plasma monitor to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 6000 MSL
(mean sea level). At elevations higher than this, each panel may react differently,
depending upon the altitude, air pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors.
Y
For this reason, Runco International makes no warranties or claims as to the reliable
operation of the CinemaWall at altitudes greater than 6000 feet above sea level. If you are
planning to use this product at a location above 6000 feet, please contact Runco
technical support for further information.
Mounting the CinemaWall
on a Wall or
Table Stand
To install the CinemaWall, you will need either an optional table stand or wall-mounting kit.
➤
The CinemaWall cannot be installed on its own.
If you do decide to wall-mount the CinemaWall, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is
installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of
supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be
reinforced.
IMINAR
Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.
L
Note
Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit or table stand that is
specifically designed for your display.
You can attach your optional mounts or stand to the CinemaWall in either of two ways:

• While it is upright.
