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.

1.Runco may update this list of products excluded from this warranty from time to time at Runco’s sole discretion, but updates will not apply on a retroactive basis.

2.MSRP is defined as the most recent product price listed on Runco’s price list.

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 [e-mail] 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 [e-mail].

•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.

What to Include with Your Return

1.Return only the defective product with the lamp (if applicable).

2.Runco will not be responsible for returning or replacing any accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product) that are returned with the defective product.

3.Repaired or replacement products will be shipped with a lamp (if applicable) but without any accessories.

RuncoCare™ Warranty Exclusions

This Limited Warranty does not include and is limited by the following:

1.Products not purchased from an authorized Runco dealer

2.Rental costs incurred by the customer in the event of product defect or failure

3.Any product with a defaced, modified, or removed serial number

iv	Runco X-200i Series Installation/Operation Manual

4.Damage, deterioration, or malfunction resulting from:

A.Accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, lightning, or other acts of nature, smoke exposure (cigarette or otherwise), unauthorized product modification (including use of an unauthorized mount), or failure to follow instructions supplied with the product

B.Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by Runco

C.Any damage to the product due to shipment

D.Removal or installation of the product

E.Causes external to the product, such as electric power fluctuations or failure

F.Use of supplies or parts (including lamps) that are not purchased from Runco or do not meet Runco’s specifications

G.Normal wear and tear

H.Expected lamp degradation and normal decrease in lamp output over a period of time or as the lamp is consumed

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.

Other Terms and Conditions

1.If the defective product is not properly packaged and is damaged in transit during its return to Runco, you may be invoiced for either the repair costs, if repairable, or the MSRP of a replacement product and shipping costs incurred by Runco.

2.The repaired or replaced product will assume the remainder of your original product’s warranty term or 90 days from the date the repaired or replaced product is shipped, whichever is longer.

3.If a replacement product is sent, the replacement becomes the property of the customer and the defective product becomes the property of Runco.

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D VIEWING:

Please read and make sure you understand the following safety information before using the product for viewing 3D content. Provide this information to the end users of this product and ensure that they understand it.

It is widely recognized that stereographic display devices can cause discomfort, including, without WARNING limitation, dizziness, nausea, headaches, eye fatigue and eye-strain, in some individuals. The 3D effect and experience will vary by individual, depending on a variety of factors, including his or her health and vision. Runco recommends that users take regular breaks when watching 3D video or playing games using stereoscopic displays. Discontinue use if any discomfort occurs. Parents of

young children should ensure their children avoid extensive exposure to electronic stereographic entertainment.

The quality and appropriateness of the 3D screen materials onto which the image is projected and the quality of the 3D content being displayed both have a significant and noticeable impact on the overall 3D experience. A properly-calibrated projection system, including glasses and an optimized third-party screen, displaying high-quality 3D content is the best formula for immersive and comfortable 3D experiences in the home. Please refer to the remainder of this manual for proper projector installation and usage instructions.

The glasses that accompany this product are not safe to use as sunglasses, protective eyewear or any use outdoors or other than only in conjunction with the proper operation of the Runco product with which they are sold. It is common to dim the lights in a home theater. Using 3D glasses and the immersive imagery of stereoscopic imagery can increase the risk of tripping or falling the dark. Special care should be taken.

Do not tilt your head while using the 3D glasses.

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.

Note	CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
	“superwide” format screen.

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.

• Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.

Notes on Batteries

•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	Notes on Remote Control
reflect the IR signal from the remote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In	Operation
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 3D Emitter. It may help to point the remote directly at the projector during 3D operation. In some cases, it may be better to use the projector keypad when viewing 3D content.
