DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
CAUTION:
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements.
5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
IMINAR
L
6. Do not block any ventilation openings.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could
cause damage to this unit.
10. Only use accessories specified by Runco International.
11. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
12. Unplug this projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
13. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to
removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of
lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any way,
objects have fallen or spilled into the projector, the projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

2 Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual
The Runco Video Extreme™ VX-6000d follows in the footsteps of its renowned
predecessor, the VX-5000d by offering extraordinary performance, state of the art optics,
impressive custom installation flexibility and today’s most advanced DLP technology with
1920 x 1080 SuperOnyx™ resolution.
Its performance is so extraordinary, in fact, that the VX-6000d has earned its place in our
exclusive, Video Xtreme™ family of products — our top of the line and the world’s first
video products to earn prestigious THX
The VX-6000d incorporates Runco’s exclusive Enhanced GEN 3™ engineering
advancements to make more efficient use of optical light engine design. This results in
greater light output and dramatically increases contrast ratio.
Among the advances Runco has developed are a sophisticated color balancing system
and Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR™), which provides the perfect balance of
black and white levels. These engineering achievements are combined with lens choices
featuring world-class optics and lens shift versatility. The resulting images are superb. In
fact, the VX-6000d can easily surpass the black levels of film projectors!

Introduction
1.3 Description, Features and Benefits
The VX-6000d is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD™)
Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ video processing and superb scaling. In addition,
Runco’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its unique VirtualWide™ mode for viewing
standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality. The DHD provides for
a pure digital signal path from input to light engine.
The VX-6000d produces an impressive 1750 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS light
output of 17.3 to 29.8 ft-Lamberts).
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-6000d can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending CineWide™
technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater.
When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply
gets wider while full height is maintained. Also available with the VX-6000d is CineWide
with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.
Note
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide
format screen.

Control
The VX-6000d ships with two remote control units:
• A standard Runco DHD Controller remote control unit; and
• A universal, touch-screen remote control unit that can be used with other home theater
equipment.
Only the touch-screen remote control can be used to perform zoom and focus
adjustments. For this reason, you must use it to complete the initial VX-6000d installation
and setup. After the projector has been installed, either remote control unit can be used;
both provide similar functionality.
