Adjusting the Picture

Orientation

By default, the VX-3000 is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the projector

is installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen and/or

mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this:

1. Press MENU on the remote control.

2. Select Installation from the Main Menu and press ENTER.

3. Select Orientation from the Installation Menu.

4. Choose Floor Rear, Ceiling Front or Ceiling Rear to match the installation method.

Installing and

Adjusting the

CineWide Anamorphic

Lens

If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and

adjust the anamorphic lens.

Runco offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and

cylindrical.

• The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the

width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.

• The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It

stretches the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display

device. Two, cylindrical anamorphic lens options are available: Rainier II and McKinley.

Although they differ in size and throw distance range (refer to

Table 3-3), the installation

procedure for both lenses is similar.

The following models are available with either a prismatic or a cylindrical anamorphic lens:

• VX-3000i/CineWide

• VX-3000d/CineWide

• VX-3000 Ultra/CineWide

The following models always use a cylindrical lens:

• VX-3000i/CineWide with AutoScope

• VX-3000d/CineWide with AutoScope

• VX-3000 Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope

If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney

(Prismatic) Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment on page 50. If you are

installing a CineWide projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section.

It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly

adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that

the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the

screen.
