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.

IMINAR

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.

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 XP 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:

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 Dealer. If this is not possible, contact Runco directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Runco will return product transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping costs will be the responsibility of the owner.

3.3 Installation Considerations

Special Requirements for

the XP-103DHD

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.

The extremely large size and high power consumption of the XP-103DHD place unique

➤

demands upon both the installation personnel and the installation site, over and above those of the 50-inch and 65-inch PlasmaWall models.

Installing the XP-103DHD requires the following:

• Several people familiar with complex mechanical installations.

• Specialized equipment.

• A dedicated 220VAC circuit.

• A “carry-in” path with sufficient clearances.

• An installation location that can support the weight of both the plasma panel and mounting hardware (floor pedestal or wall mount).

These and other installation requirements are detailed in a document called Runco XP-103DHD Installation Site Pre-Qualification, available from your Runco dealer or representative, or from www.Runco.com. Before proceeding with an XP-103DHD installation, obtain, read and make sure you understand everything in this document.

➤

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.

IMINAR

Runco has found the XP-50DHD, XP-65DHD and XP-103DHD to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 6,000 feet MSL (mean sea level).

PRE

Mounting the PlasmaWall

on a Wall or

Stand/Floor Pedestal

Table

The XP-50DHDxa and XP-65DHDxa have been found to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 9,100 feet MSL.

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.

To install the PlasmaWall, you will need either an optional table stand, floor pedestal or

➤

wall-mounting kit. (The XP-103DHD must be either wall-mounted or attached to a floor pedestal.)

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 five (5) times the weight of the display, or be reinforced.

Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.

Note

Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit, table stand or floor pedestal that is specifically designed for your display. Refer to Parts List on page 4 for ordering information.

You can attach your optional mounts or stand to the PlasmaWall in either of two ways:

• While it is upright.

• As it lies flat with the screen face down. Place the protective sheet, which was wrapped around the plasma monitor when it was packaged, between the screen and your work surface to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the screen surface.

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.

optimum picture quality.

Note

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.

To calibrate the digital (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) inputs, use the Display Image controls in the Service menu. For more information, refer to Display Device on page 48.

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 to

Overscan: Image Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display area.

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.

Note

To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the ISF Presets menu (see above). Or, use the corresponding buttons on the remote control.

ISF Night - Display Color: Use the Display Color settings to adjust the color balance at the display device (as opposed to the DHD Controller) for analog sources (up to 1080i). These settings are saved independently for each input.

• Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the

image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red 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 or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.

• Gamma: The default gamma setting (1) is correct for almost all signals and conditions.

If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This will improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting. Again, good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites.

• Color Temp.: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color temperature. For most situations, the appropriate setting is (1). The higher setting (2)

PRE

produces a “bluer” picture; the lower one (0) a “warmer” picture with more pronounced red and orange hues.

• AGC (Automatic Gain Control): AGC increases the brightness of dark signals automatically. To enable AGC, set it to 1 (on). To disable it, set it to 0 (off).

• Input Level: The Input Level control allows you to adjust parts which are extremely bright and hard to see. (This cannot be adjusted when the input signal is digital.)

IMINAR

To calibrate the digital (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) inputs, use the Display Image controls in the Service menu. For more information, refer to Display Device on page 48.

You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu.

ISF Night - Input Image: The Input Image controls are similar to those in the Picture menu, but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu passcode. This makes it possible to restore the picture quality settings to what they were when the display was installed, simply by recalling the “ISF Night” preset.

44 PlasmaWall XP Series Owner’s Operating Manual

ISF Night - Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see above), but adjust the color balance at the DHD Controller (as opposed to the display device). These settings are also saved independently for each input.

• Gain/Offset: These controls operate similarly to those in the ISF Night - Display Color menu (see above), but affect the Y, Pb and Pr signal components rather than the

red and blue channels.

•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.)

•Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.

Operation

Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.

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 3-11.

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 3-5. Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232 input

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 the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 100 and sets the aspect ratio to 16:9. 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 (- >).
