RuncoCare™ Standard Two Year Limited
Warranty
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco® product! With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years
of unparalleled video performance.
This Limited Warranty is provided free of charge by Runco International, LLC (“Runco”) with the purchase of a covered Runco
product. This Limited Warranty is applicable to all Runco projectors, processors, LCD display and plasma display products,
with the exception of the following models: XP-103DHD, SC-1 and SC-1a1. This Limited Warranty applies to purchases of
covered Runco products occurring on or after June 1, 2011.
RuncoCare™ Limited Warranty Coverage
Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided below. If
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 prorated share of the purchase price (calculated
based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current, most-recent MSRP2 of a similar product), if repair or
replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible.
Length of RuncoCare™ Warranty Period
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. A replacement lamp is warranted for the remaining
portion (if any) of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days from the date it was shipped to you, whichever is longer. 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 shipment.
RuncoCare™ Eligibility
This Limited Warranty is valid only in the country where the Product was originally purchased and for the buyer who originally
purchased the covered product from the authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable; it is not valid
for any subsequent buyer (if any). You may be required to provide proof of purchase in order to receive warranty services.

RuncoCare™ Standard Claim Procedure
• In the event of a product defect, please follow the claim procedure provided below:
A. Register your product if you have not yet done so. Visit http://www.runco.com/support/product-registration/ to
register the product.
B. Contact your original authorized dealer or distributor who sold the product.
C. The dealer/distributor will contact Runco Technical Support via email at support@runco.com or via phone at 1-800-
23-RUNCO (1-800-237-8626).
• The dealer/distributor will provide to Runco proof of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of the
problem and any troubleshooting steps already attempted.
• Runco’s technical support staff will attempt to assist the dealer/distributor in troubleshooting any technical issues that might
be causing the product to malfunction. 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 is
covered by the warranty. Once an RMA has been created, RMA status is available at serviceorders@runco.com.
• If an RMA is issued, the dealer or customer will need to return the defective product to the Runco repair depot location
specified by the Runco technical support representative. The dealer or customer will need to properly package the defective
product in a suitable shipping container consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., cables,
remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals). Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support
representative.
• The dealer or customer is responsible for paying freight charges and insurance to ship the defective product to the Runco
repair depot location. If there are any shipping damages, the dealer or customer will need to address and resolve any
shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.
• Runco will not accept a returned product unless an RMA has been issued by Runco.
• For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product to the dealer/distributor
from the Runco repair depot. For select countries or geographies Runco will ship via an economy express service. Return
delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination, and Runco is unable to deliver to PO Box and FPO
Box addresses.
• Note: in the 48 contiguous United States, other options for on-site service or advance exchange for the product may apply,
if you purchased the Runco PremierCare™ Service Plan.

I. Customer caused defects, including but not limited to, scratched/defaced/altered plastics
J. Failure to follow maintenance procedures as outlined in the product’s user guide where a schedule is specified for
regular cleaning of the product
K. Opening the product and/or tampering with internal circuitry
L. Products lost, stolen or discarded
M. Any damage or dissatisfaction associated with latent images, “burnin,” or any other damage determined by Runco to
be the result of customer use patterns
N. Any other cause, which does not relate to a product defect in material or workmanship
5. Removal, installation, and set-up service charges are excluded from the warranty.
6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and
specifications for the product.
7. Bright or dark sub pixels that are characteristic of LCD technology and considered by Runco to be acceptable and within
Runco’s manufacturing specifications.
Specifically, 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.

2 Runco X-200i Series Installation/Operation Manual
Introduction
Runco’s XtremeProjection™ Series X-200i Active 3D Home Theater Projector — the
flagship member of the XtremeProjection series — is a single-chip DLP projector that,
uncalibrated, measures 1,430 ANSI lumens and when calibrated to Runco’s CSMS™
specifications, achieves a light output of 50 Foot-Lamberts (fL). Featuring integrated
processing and multiple lens options, the 3D-capable X-200i comes equipped with three
pairs of active 3D glasses and relies on frame-sequential 3D technology to ensure that
users can enjoy 2D and 3D content on the same screen, with full 1080p HD resolution
delivered to both eyes.
Designed specifically for the custom installer who specializes in high-end theaters and
appreciates craftsmanship and video quality, the X-200i brings big screen experiences to
the home. The X-200i relies on a combination of state-of-the-art, DLP-based
SuperOnyx™ technology and proprietary electronics, processing and optics to deliver
stunning images in both 2D and 3D. The X-200i incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging Science
Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance, including ISF Day and ISF Night
presets for the ultimate video performance any time of day.
For unparalleled widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format, the X-200i can also be paired with Runco’s
award-winning CineWide™ technology. Through an ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, CineWide maintains constant image height
on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9)
program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider while image height is
maintained.
With Runco CineWide, the projection system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby
producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No
resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture information.

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits
Note
Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power
on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation control
systems.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
“superwide” format screen.

• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as from sunshine, fire or the like.
• In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the screen which will
reflect the IR signal from the remote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In
some cases, however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote
control at the projector and try again.
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
• During 3D operation, the remote control response may be adversely affected by
interference from the Active
projector during 3D operation. In some cases, it may be better to use the projector
keypad when viewing 3D content.
