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.
PlasmaWall SP Series Owner’s Operating Manual iii
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.
IMPORTANT – WARRANTY REGISTRATION:
Y
Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Runco knows how to reach you promptly if we
should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.
CONTACT A RUNCO AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER TO OBTAIN SERVICE:
Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Runco video product will be performed at the location of
the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating distance from a Runco
Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Runco factory for
repairs. If, solely in Runco’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest
Runco Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Runco factory, it is the owner’s
responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Runco

Introduction
The PlasmaWall SP Series flat-panel plasma monitor brings outstanding picture quality to
its size category with true, high-definition native resolution of up to 1365 x 768
(1024
x 768 on the Model SP-42DHD) for no-compromise viewing of any video source.
The PlasmaWall is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD)
Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing. This 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.
The PlasmaWall’s black level performance and shadow detail capability have been
enhanced with Active Gray Scale Rendering to provide smoother transitions from dark to
light, resulting in richly detailed textures even in shadowy scenes.
The PlasmaWall is easily integrated into custom installation systems. Both RS-232C and
IR control interfaces are incorporated for simple automation. Its profile is less than 5-1/2
inches thin for wall-mounting simplicity.
For high-altitude installations, Runco also offers the SP-42DHDxa, SP-50DHDxa and
SP-60DHDxa with industry-leading high-altitude compliance to over 9000 feet (2,740
meters) mean sea level (MSL). The SP-42DHDxa, SP-50DHDxa and SP-60DHDxa share
all other features and specifications with the SP-42DHD, SP-50DHD and SP-60DHD
respectively.

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 PlasmaWall will ensure the highest possible picture quality.
Whether you are installing the PlasmaWall 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 the SP-42DHD, SP-50DHD and SP-60DHD to operate reliably at
altitudes of up to 6000 feet MSL (mean sea level). The SP-42DHDxa, SP-50DHDxa and
SP-60DHDxa have been found to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 9000 feet MSL.
Y
At higher elevations, each panel may react differently, depending upon the altitude, air
pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors. If you are planning to use this
product at a location above 9000 feet, please contact Runco technical support for further
information.
Mounting the PlasmaWall
on a Wall or
Table Stand
To install the PlasmaWall, you will need either an optional table stand or wall-mounting kit.
➤
The PlasmaWall cannot be installed on its own.
If you do decide to wall-mount the PlasmaWall, 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 PlasmaWall in either of two ways:
PRE
• While it is upright.

Other Considerations Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation, avoid damage and
➤
prolong operating life:
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the display away
from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in
the display circuitry, which may affect performance.
• Keep the PlasmaWall away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
• Handle the unit carefully when installing or carrying it. Use the built-in handles; DO NOT
touch or hold the screen face.
• Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.
• Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of accident,
unplug the power cord and have it serviced by an authorized Service Center.
• Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the
screen.
• For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained,
authorized dealer.
• To avoid sulfurization, it is strongly recommended not to place the unit in a dressing
room in a public bath or hot spring bath.

quality.
The PlasmaWall 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 the following calibration tools for best
results:
• External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD
(or equivalent).
• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.
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.”)
pattern.

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 separately.) For information about saving settings, refer

Overscan: Image Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the

Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television
sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Over scan effectively
trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to
fill the display area.

ISF Night - Display Color: Use the Display Color settings to adjust the color balance at
the display device (as opposed to the DHD Controller). These settings are saved
independently for each input.
• Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the

areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red,
green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
•Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu 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, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
• Color Temp (RGB Display Device only): Select Color Temp from the Display Color

• Gain/Offset: Refer to ISF Night - Display Color, above.
•Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a
Composite, S-Video or Component 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.
•Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB source) shows shimmer or
“noise.” Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the
incoming signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a
VCR.
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. (You may
notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this
case.)

6. Serial Communications
To interface the PlasmaWall with a home theater automation/control system or a PC
running terminal emulation software, connect it to the RS-232 output of the DHD
Controller as shown in
of the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-9.
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, eight (8) data bits,
one (1) stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the DHD
Controller RS-232 port.
Figure 3-3. Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232 input
Y
Serial commands to the DHD Controller take the following form:
• Commands are not case-sensitive.
• For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a
carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type
LETTERBOX
• For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a
comma and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the
brightness to -10, type BRIGHTNESS
BRIGHTNESS,-10
• You can also send a string of multiple commands on a single line, separated by
commas. For example, COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS
switches to the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 100 and sets the aspect
ratio to Anamorphic. Command strings can be up to 255 characters long.

Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the
valid parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters.
When you enter a valid command, the DHD Controller executes it and acknowledges it
with a plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one
that is misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the
DHD Controller ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).

For the vast majority of installations, the DHD Controller remote control gives you all the
control you need over display quality settings. However, there are two settings internal to
the PlasmaWall that can improve the displayed image quality on INPUT 1: VIDEO NR
(noise reduction) and MPEG FILTER. These settings can be found in the Setup Menu,
shown in
Figure A-2. PlasmaWall Setup Menu
To apply Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) to the input signal, select Video NR from the
