Quick Set-up Guide
Connection Examples
A
While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your PFP Controller, the
examples shown above are the most common and are recommended by Runco.
• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT
Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality.
Many sources have outputs that are limited to Composite video, such as some VCR’s and
camcorders. Others, such as laser disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using
Composite video. While the PFP Controller has an excellent decoder for Composite video, it is
recommended that Composite video be used only if necessary.
• S-VIDEO INPUT
S-Video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than Composite video.
Using such sources as satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with no Component
output) will produce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal. Decoder artifacts that are associated with
Composite video (dot crawl and ‘rainbows’) are non-existent when using S-Video.
• COMPONENT INPUT
Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that use
Component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that Component be used when
possible. Component video goes one step beyond S-Video in picture quality; chroma (color)
information is more resolved and the overall picture appears more well-defined.
• RGB/COMPONENT INPUT
This port is where all high-resolution signals (such as computers, DTV decoders and progressive
DVD players) must be input. The signal type can be either RGBHV or Component and is not
processed by the PFP Controller.

Overall Functional Description
The VX-1000c system consists of the PFP Controller and the VX-1000c Projector. This system is
unique in the way it is controlled; the control center for this system is located within the PFP
Controller. The PFP Controller tells the Projector to turn on or off, controls its brightness, contrast,
color temperature and more. All of this is accomplished by Runco's unique ComLink, which is the
transfer of information between the PFP Controller and the Projector via their ComLink ports on a
CAT5 cable (or similar) with RJ-11 ends. Therefore, only the PFP Controller's remote control is
necessary to control all aspects of this system.
Besides being the system's control center, the PFP Controller is also a high-quality scaler, which
outputs all signals in the native resolution of the VX-1000c Projector. The Composite, S-Video and
Component (non-progressive) signals are sent through the PFP Controller's 10-bit decoder, de-interlaced, then scaled to the native resolution of the Projector. In the case of HDTV or progressive DVD
signals, these are input to the RGB/Component port.
In the next chapter, the menu system will be described in detail. There are many adjustments
available to perfect the VX-1000c's image, including typical 'front-panel controls' as well as color
temperature and other image-quality controls.

Source Selection is done by highlighting the desired source with the up or down arrows and
pressing ENTER. Sources may also be selected by pressing the left or right arrows on the front panel
or remote, or by one of the direct access buttons on the remote (page 13). Picture adjustments such
as color, tint, brightness, etc, are unique per source. To select a high-resolution source (input to the
RGB/Component 15PIN input on the PFP Controller), select either RGB HD or Component HD as
appropriate. If you wish to use the Computer input on the Projector, select Computer. The Controller
will switch the Projector’s inputs accordingly.
Aspect R
atio selection is done by highlighting 'Aspect Ratio' on the main menu and pressing enter.
The Aspect Ratio menu will then appear; and either ANAMORPHIC, LETTERBOX or 4:3 may be
selected. Aspect ratios may also be selected by pressing either the up or down arrow buttons, or by
one of the direct access buttons on the remote.
Installa
tion is used for adjustments usually made during the initial installation. This includes Lamp
Mode, Keystone and Picture Orientation. Lamp Mode allows you to select between ‘Normal’ (full light
output) and ‘Low’ (80% of full light output). Keystone allows the adjustment of trapezoidal distortion
caused by angling the Projector; picture for ceiling or floor, front or rear installations. IR Code Set
allows the Controller to be set to one of four different IR Code Sets. This is useful if one of the Code
Sets has commands that are conflicting with other equipment, or other manufacturer’s IR Codes are
conflicting with the Controller. Lamp Hours may be checked in the Installation Menu as well.

arrow) and press ENTER. The picture quality sub-menu will then appear (see above).
To make an adjustment to a particular function, highlight the function with the up or down arrow
buttons and press ENTER. Once the function is on-screen (i.e. brightness), pressing the UP arrow
button on the remote or front panel will increase the value of that function; pressing the DOWN arrow
on the remote or front panel will decrease the value of that function.
While each of the picture quality adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a
'proper' way to set the adjustments. For setting TINT and COLOR, please refer to the color bar test
pattern below.
NOTE: A BLUE FILTER must be used so only the blue color bars can be seen; if no blue color filter is
available, see if the display device has the ability to mute (turn off) the red and green colors via its
menu structure (most CRT Projectors have this feature). Blue filters are provided with the Video
Essentials or AVIA test DVDs.

TINT (also known as 'hue') is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.
If TINT is decreased, the image will appear redder, and increasing it will cause the image to appear
greener. To set TINT properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter (or mute the red and
green outputs). Adjust TINT until the middle two tall color bars match the middle short color bars
(see color bar drawing).
COLOR
(also known as 'saturation') increases or decreases the amount of color in the image.
To set COLOR properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter (or mute the red and green
outputs). Adjust COLOR until the outer two tall color bars match the outer short color bars (see color
bar drawing).
For setting CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS, please refer to the PLUGE pattern below:
CONTRAST adjusts the white level of the image.Adjust contrast until there is a distinct definition
between the two brightest bars.
NOTE: For best results, Runco recommends that CONTRAST be set to '0' or very close to it.
BRIGHTNESS
adjusts the black level of the image. To adjust this properly, adjust BRIGHTNESS
until the 'below black' bar JUST disappears, but the 'above black' bar is still barely visible.
NOTE: Some DVD players cannot pass the 'blacker than black' bar (they won't pass PLUGE),
and that bar will never be visible. In a case like this, adjust the 'above black' bar until it is slightly
brighter than the background that surrounds it.

Increase contrast until this
bar no longer gets visibly
brighter, then decrease
contrast slightly until a
small change in intensity
occurs.

SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the
preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image
will become 'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture
appear 'noisy' if adjusted too high.
LUMA
ENHANCE* acts as an edge enhancement, especially around black to white transitions in the
image. Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects far
more that the rest of the image.
FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the LUMA ENHANCE feature. For example, if
using a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set to LOW. For a
good quality source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH. To set FREQUENCIES,
press ENTER while LUMA ENHANCE is on-screen.
CHROMA
ENHANCE* acts as an edge enhancement, especially around color transitions in the
image. Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects
far more that the rest of the image.
FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the CHROMA ENHANCE feature.
For example, if using a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set
to LOW. For a good quality source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH.
To set FREQUENCIES, press ENTER while CHROMA ENHANCE is on-screen.
COLOR
TEMPERATURE* sets the overall color temperature of the image. The range is from -3 to 3.
The negative values provide a lower (Redder) color temperature, 0 is 6500 (neutral gray), and the
positive values provide a higher (Bluer) color temperature.
COLOR
BALANCE* adjusts the actual grey scale of the image. You may adjust the amount of Red or
Blue in the image as needed.
* Active only when the Installation mode is enabled (page 21).

The Installation menu is where you can adjust the Picture Orientation,
Keystone, Lamp Output, and even check the age of the lamp in the
Projector.
When the PFP Controller is turned on for the first time, the INSTALLATION item will not appear in the main menu. To enable the INSTALLATION menu, there are two options:
· With the processor ON and no menus on-screen, simultaneously press
the ENTER, UP and LEFT buttons (you don't need to hold them down).
Release the three buttons and press MENU, ensure INSTALLATION is
now on the bottom of the main menu.
· With the remote control, press button 6 (with no menus on-screen).
After pressing '6', press MENU and ensure INSTALLATION is now on the
bottom of the main menu.
After INSTALLATION has been accessed, press MENU, highlight
INSTALLATION and press ENTER. This will bring up the INSTALLATION
MENU, shown on the right:
Installation Menu

Installation Menu
Lamp Mode
The Lamp Mode enables the installer to set the lamp for full brightness (normal) or Low (20% lower).
If a small screen is being used in a dark area or the image is otherwise too bright, it may be a good
idea to set the Lamp Mode to LOW. When the Lamp Mode is set to LOW, the lamp will last longer as
a result of the lower current setting.
Keystone
KEYSTONE: Corrects the trapezoidal distortion that results from projecting at an angle:
A correctly adjusted image
An image with Keystone error
This may occur in installations where the projector needed to be angled as a result of a larger vertical
offset. This keystone feature will correct for trapezoidal distortion for as much as a 15° projector angle.
22
System Reset
In the event that your PFP Controller appears to have a software problem, or adjustments have been
made so far out of range that the image is no longer on-screen or discernable, you can reset it back
to factory values. This sets ALL settings back to factory values, so any adjustments made previously
will be lost.
T
o reset your VX-1000c PFP Controller, follow this procedure:
• Turn off the MAIN POWER switch on the back of the processor
• Hold down the DOWN ARROW button, and turn the MAIN POWER SWITCH back on. Continue
holding the down arrow button until the LED on the front panel blinks, then release the down arrow
button.
Once this is done, your processor has been completely reset to factory values. After resetting the unit,
Composite video will be the active source.
Note: If a system reset is performed, the IR Code Set will default to 013.
Picture Orientation
This will set the orientation of the image for your installation. If the Projector will be mounted on a
table, set this for Floor. If mounting it on the ceiling, select Ceiling. For two-mirror or ‘straight-shot’
rear-screen applications, select floor rear or ceiling rear as appropriate.
Lamp Hours displays the number of hours the lamp has been on. With the VX-1000c, the lamp life is
around 1000 hours. This should be checked periodically to keep track of the lamp's age, and when
the lamp is around 1000 hours old, a new one should be installed to prevent lamp failure, including
implosion.
Lamp Hours
IR Code Set
IR Code Set allows the installer to choose from one of four different sets of IR codes. If the default
code has commands that are conflicting other equipment, try using one of the other code sets.
When IR CODE SET is selected in the menu, you will get four code set options- 013, 215, 510 and
918. These numbers correspond to the number that is programmed into the remote control itself (see
pg. 13). For example, if you wish to use IR code set 510, you would first select '510 code set' from the
menu, then program the remote for code 510 (as described on pg. 13). You may also disable the IR
receiver on the Controller all together by selecting 'Deactivated'. In the event the Controller has
been reset (see 'system reset' below), the IR code set will default to 013.
'Menu/Enter' invert allows the menu and enter buttons on the remote to reverse their functions; if
'YES' is selected, the menu button will become the enter button, and the enter button will become the
menu button. This affects the remote ONLY.
23
The 'Quick Menu' allows you to make adjustments to the displayed image without having to go
through the standard menu.
The Quick Menu allows the adjustment of Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint, Sharpness and
Image Shift with any of the three standard inputs (Composite, S-Video, Component) or
Component HD. In RGB HD or Computer, only Brightness, Contrast and Shift are available.
To use the quick menu, press ENTER on the front panel, and observe the front panel display.
The following will be displayed:

Basic Troubleshooting Tips
The following is a basic troubleshooting guide that can assist you in resolving typical problems may
result in normal operation. If you have encountered problems that are not listed in this guide, please
contact your Runco dealer for assistance.
The projector does not turn on
after initial installation. The
Power LED on the front of the
PFP Controller stays yellow
after the power button is
pressed.
The projector and PFP
Controller are both on, but
there is no video image onscreen.
The projector is producing a
'split screen' or an otherwise
scrambled image.
The image appears too bright,
and there is a loss of definition
in the brightest areas of the
image.
· The RJ-11 (ComLink) cable is
not connected between the PFP
Controller and Projector, or is
made improperly.
· The projector is not plugged in,
or its AC outlet is not active.
Look at its power LED and see if
it is illuminated.
· The PFP Controller is on the
wrong source.
· The PFP Controller is on the
correct source, but the source
itself is off.
· A progressive scan DVD is
plugged into Component input
rather than the RGB/Component
input.
· Contrast is set too high.
· The DVD player is set for a
high-level output.
· The video signal has not been
terminated properly somewhere
in the system.
· Use a standard RJ-11
phone-type cord. Ensure it is
firmly plugged into both the
Controller and the Projector.
· Ensure there is good continuity in the RJ-11 cable.
· Verify that the AC outlet is
active, or that the Projector is
plugged in.
· Press MENU on the
Projector's remote, and look
to see which source is active
(the arrow will be pointing to
the active source). Select the
correct source as appropriate.
· Turn on the source. It is recommended that all sources be
turned on first BEFORE the
VX-1000c.
· Only NTSC/PAL can be input
to the Component input.
Progressive scan must go into
RGB/Component.
· Turn down the CONTRAST
level on the PFP Controller.
Mid-range is 127; it is recommended to keep it below 140
to prevent this problem.
· Set the DVD player for a
nominal output (no boost or
gain).
· Ensure all video signals are
terminated in 75 Ohms.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The image appears too
'washed out', or the darkest
areas of the image appear too
bright.
The colors of the image
appear abnormal
The image appears keystoned
(trapezoidal).
The Projector will not turn on,
and the power LED on the
front of the PFP Controller is
blinking red.
The Projector will not turn
back on after it was powereddown, or the image disappears during operation.
· Brightness is set too high.
· The DVD player may be set
for too high of a brightness
level.
· The Red, Green and/or Blue
outputs of the PFP Controller or
inputs to the Projector are
reversed.
· The Pr and Pb inputs on the
Component input on the PFP
Controller are reversed
· The Projector has been
mounted too high or too low in
respect to its vertical
offset.
· The PFP Controller may have
'locked-up'.
· The Projector will not turn on
for two minutes after powerdown to protect its bulb.
· The bulb has failed
· Turn down the BRIGHTNESS
level on the Controller. If possible, use a PLUGE pattern to set
the brightness level properly.
· Set the DVD player for a nominal output (no boost or gain).
· Check the cable connections
on the back of the PFP
Controller or on the Projector.
· Adjust Keystone, see page 21.
· Unplug the Controller for 2
minutes; plug it back in a re-try.
· Perform a system reset on the
Controller (see page 22), and
then re-try.
· Wait two minutes until the LED
on the front of the PFP
Controller turns red.

RS-232 Communications
Baud rate: 9600 (fixed)
Bits: 8
No Parity
All protocol in ASCII format
RS-232 input connector pin numbers: TxD= Pin# 2, RxD= Pin# 3, GnD= Pin# 5
Command format (single command): command value (i.e. brightness 30).
NO
TE: A space (not an underscore) or comma may be used between the command and its value.
Command string format: command,command value, command etc.
(i.e. COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS 30,ANAMORPHIC,<CR>)
NO
TE: In between commands, a comma must be used; a comma or space may be used in between
a command and its value.
NO
TE: A carriage return must be used after each command or string.
Other notes:
• For command strings, a maximum of 255 characters can be used in a single string.
• If it is necessary to input multiple commands, they should all be together in a single string. Inputting
commands one at a time requires a 15 second delay between commands, as the information is
stored into non-volatile memory after each command.
• For values not automatically stored (see next paragraph), the command "!STORE" must be sent
in order for the PFP Controller to keep the settings. Otherwise, the values will be considered
temporary and will revert to their stored settings upon source change or power-up.
• The "Value stored" column refers to a command that is either automatically stored or if it must be
manually stored with the "!STORE" command.
• PARAMETER min/max refers to a function's minimum and maximum value range. Inputting
values above or below their range may cause unpredictable (but not fatal) results.
• When connecting RS-232 to the Controller, you may have to add a delay in between characters.
For example in an AMX system you would add the following line:
(***********************************************************)
(* STARTUP CODE GOES BELOW *)
(***********************************************************)
DEFINE_START
SEND_COMMAND PFP,'SET BAUD 9600,N,8,1'
SEND_COMMAND PFP,'HSOFF'
SEND_COMMAND PFP,"'CHARD-200'" (* SETS DELAY IN MICROSECONDS BETWEEN CHARACTERS *)
This will increase the reliability in receiving the code. For other systems you may have to contact the
manufacturer to find out how to set the delay.
