Installation 3.2 Quick Setup Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the LS-10d installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Table 3-1. Installation Overview Step For Details, Refer to page...
Installation Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. 3.3 Installation Considerations Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods.
Installation Ambient Light ➤ In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant. Throw Distance ➤ Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.
Installation Table 3-3 lists the available lens options for the LS-10d and their associated throw ratios. Table 3-3. LS-10d Lens Options and Throw Ratios (Note 1) Throw Ratio Lens Option with Primary Lens Only Throw Range in inches, with 96x54-inch (1.78:1) Screen Minimum Throw Range in Throw Ratio inches, with with Primary 126.9x54-inch (2.35:1) Lens and Screen Anamorphic Lens Maximum Minimum Maximum For rear-screen installations only. Contact Runco Technical Support for more information. 0.
Installation Vertical and Horizontal ➤ Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.
Installation 100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W) Screen Center Y 0% EL IM IN A R Screen Width (W) PR Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or projector is used in this example. Figure 3-4. Horizontal Lens Shift (EXAMPLE ONLY) Vertical Lens Shift: The LS-10d zoom lenses (Proteus 2 through 6) provide up to 65% of vertical lens shift in either direction (up or down).
Installation Folded Optics ➤ In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-5. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance. Screen EL IM IN A R Y Mirror Figure 3-5.
Installation Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: Other Considerations • Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance. • Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers.
Installation • Anamorphic lens and mounting bracket Y Attaching the Transport Assembly Attachment Plate: 1. Place the projector upside down on a blanket or other soft surface. EL IM IN A R 2. Position the attachment plate as shown here.
Installation 3. If you are mounting the projector on a ceiling: Line up the holes on the Ceiling Mount Plate (included with the projector ceiling mount kit) with those on the bottom of the projector and attachment plate. 4. Secure the Transport Assembly Attachment Plate and Ceiling Mount Plate to the projector using the hardware provided with the attachment plate, as shown. Caution 1. Do not use the mounting screws provided with the ceiling mounting kit.
Installation Installing the Anamorphic Lens Transport Assembly: After installing the Transport Assembly Attachment Plate and Ceiling Mount Plate, proceed as follows to install the Anamorphic Lens Transport Assembly.
Installation Attaching the Security Hooks: To help stabilize and support the added weight of the Anamorphic Lens and Lens Transport Assembly, the attachment plate includes two security hooks and related hardware for attaching the front part of the plate to the ceiling above. Proceed as follows to attach the security hooks. This requires the following tools and materials: • Pliers • Scissors EL IM IN A R Y • Ceiling Hooks (not supplied) 1.
Installation 3.5 Mounting the LS-10d There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. Floor Mounting (Upright) ➤ For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience, you can invert the LS-10d and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Installation If the LS-10d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector, you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount. EL IM IN A R Y The projector can be rotated (side-to-side) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the lamp, limit the front-to-back tilt of the projector to ±20 degrees; see Figure 3-6. ± 360º ± 20º Figure 3-6.
Installation 3.6 Connections to the LS-10d and DHD Controller Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the LS-10d, your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Turn off all equipment before making any connections. • Use the correct signal cables for each source. • For best performance and to minimize cable clutter, use high-quality cables that are only as long as necessary to connect two devices.
Installation Digital Video Connection: Connect the “HDMI Out To Display” connector on the DHD Controller to the DHD Input of the LS-10d as shown in Figure 3-7. Use an HDMI cable for this connection. A DVI cable with DVI-to-HDMI adapters will not work.
Installation Connecting Source ➤ Components to the DHD Controller Connect your video sources to the DHD Controller as shown and described in the sections that follow. HDMI Source Connections: See Figure 3-8. Use the HDMI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component output into the projector. Tip You can also connect computers with DVI output to these inputs.
Installation Component Video Source Connections: Connect your component video sources to the HD1, HD2 and/or Component/SCART inputs as shown in Figure 3-9.

Installation Projector/DHD Controller: Plug the female end of one power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the LS-10d (AC 100V ~ 240V). Then, connect the other end to your AC power source. Connecting to AC Power Similarly connect the DHD Controller to a nearby AC outlet. EL IM IN A R Y Anamorphic Lens Transport: An AC-to-DC power adapter is provided for the lens transport. Connect the power adapter to the +9V DC In jack on the rear of the lens transport assembly.
Installation 3.8 Primary Lens Adjustments To access the motorized lens controls: 1. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU. 2. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode. You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu. Note 3. Select Display Device from the Service Menu. Y 4. Select Configure from the Display Device menu, then select Lens.
Installation Projector and/or screen placement — among other things — can cause geometric distortion in the projected image. To correct this, the DHD Controller provides precise, nine-point control over the projected image geometry. Use these controls as (and only if) needed to re-position the image corners, mid-points and center to eliminate “keystoning” (mis-aligned corners) or “pincushion” distortion (mid-points not aligned with corners). See Figure 3-17.
Installation “Keystoning” usually occurs when the projector is tilted relative to the screen. “Pincushion” distortion can sometimes occur if the throw distance is very short and/or the projector is equipped with an anamorphic lens. To correct keystoning or pincushion distortion: 1. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU. 2. Select Calibration from the Main Menu and enter the Calibration Menu passcode. You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu. Y Note 3.
Installation If you are installing an LS-10d with an anamorphic lens, proceed as follows to install and adjust the lens. Note 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. EL IM IN A R Y Attach the anamorphic lens to the bracket using the plastic knobs supplied with the lens. See Figure 3-19. PR Figure 3-19.
Installation 3. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode. Note You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu for the first time after turning on the system. 4.

Operation EL IM IN A R Y blue red magenta green cyan yellow gray 11.Adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue: Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image appears greener.
Operation EL IM IN A R Y Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5. Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate them. PR Figure 4-5.
Operation Height: Select Height from the Input Position menu to change the projected image height. Press to increase the height; press to decrease it. Overscan/Overscan Mode: 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.
Operation Phase (RGB, Component or SCART sources): This control adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB, Component or SCART image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been optimized. Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below). Tip Y 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.
Operation You should save changes to any of the following settings to a preset; otherwise they will be lost when a new input source or resolution is selected: • Brightness • Contrast • Color saturation • Tint • Sharpness • Gamma • Color temperature and white balance or to highlight it and press ENTER.
Operation Information ➤ Information Signal System Signal / System: Select Information from the Main Menu, then choose either Signal or System to display information about the current input signal (resolution, frequency, type et cetera) and installed firmware versions, as well as other information that uniquely identifies your DHD Controller and display device.
Operation • Gamma: Select Gamma from the Display Color menu to choose a de-gamma curve. Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites. 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 improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks.

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically between 2000 and 4000 hours depending on the Lamp Power setting), or sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. Contact your Runco dealer to obtain a replacement lamp. Y 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 60 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement. EL IM IN A R 2.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting 5.2 Troubleshooting Tips Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the LS-10d. If you encounter an issue not described here, please contact Runco Technical Support. Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart Possible Cause(s) The projector does not turn on after initial installation. The power LED on the front of the DHD Controller lights red after you press the power button.
6. External Control In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there are three methods of controlling the LS-10d and DHD Controller externally: • Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those commands. • Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit. Y • Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
External Control 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 (- >). Table 6-1.

External Control 6.3 Using HDMI CEC Messages The DHD Controller accepts and can respond to CEC command messages from a disc player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using CEC, the DHD Controller can perform the following actions: • Turn itself and the projector on and select the correct input when the source component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program. • Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the DHD Controller.
