Installation 3.2 Quick Setup Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the LS-10 installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Table 3-1. Installation Overview Step Procedure Choose a location for the projector 19 2 Install anamorphic lens mounting assembly (optional) 25 3 Mount the projector 30 Y 1 EL IM IN A R PR 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-10 and their associated throw ratios. Table 3-3. LS-10 Lens Options and Throw Ratios (Note 1) Throw Ratio Lens Option with Primary Lens Only Throw Range in inches, with 108 x 60.75-inch (1.78:1) Screen Minimum Throw Range in Throw Ratio inches, with with Primary 144 x 60.75-inch Lens and (2.35:1) Screen Anamorphic Lens Maximum Minimum Maximum For rear-screen installations only. Contact Runco Technical Support for more information.
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-10 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-10 There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.
Installation If the LS-10 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-10 and DHD Controller Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the LS-10, 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-10 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 Connecting an External IR ➤ Receiver to the DHD Controller If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the DHD Controller due to excessive distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an external IR receiver to the DHD Controller to extend the range of the remote control. See Figure 3-16. Remote Control Y IR Sensor EL IM IN A R IR Repeater (3.
Installation Projector/DHD Controller: Plug the female end of one power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the LS-10 (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 3-18.
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-10 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 3-20. PR Figure 3-20.
Installation 4. Select Triggers from the Service menu. 5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and Virtual Cinema aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected. 6.

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 • Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color - Common Settings menu to adjust the color temperature. Color temperature establishes the “color of gray” by adjusting the 75% white point to various color points. What are “color points?” A “color point” is an x/y coordinate pair that defines a color’s location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in Figure 4-7.
Operation • Color Gamut: Select Color Gamut from the Display Color - Common Settings menu to select a color gamut (range) that may be different from the default color gamut. Each setting defines the precise hue of each primary (red, green and blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta) color component used to generate the millions of colors produced in displays. Changing this setting relocates the “triangle” for possible colors (see Figure 4-7).
Operation • PCE: To use the Personal Color Equalizer to define a custom color gamut, choose the “PCE” Color Gamut setting (refer to Color Gamut on page 63). Then, choose PCE from the Display Color - Common Settings menu and press ENTER. The DHD Controller uses the PCE settings for all display modes on a given input. Note PCE provides the ability to define a custom color gamut in terms of a “white point” and primary (red, green, blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta) color points; see Figure 4-7.
Operation • YCM (Yellow, Cyan, Magenta): To precisely adjust the secondary color points associated with the custom color gamut, choose YCM from the PCE sub-menu. Each control operates only on the color specified. Surrounding colors are linearly interpolated based on their distance from each of these colors.

Otherwise, for RGB sources, the DHD Controller uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used.
Operation • Sidebar Color: Select Sidebar Color from the Miscellaneous menu to change the color of the inactive image area. The range is from 0 to 255 inclusive for each color component (red, green and blue). The inactive image area is on either side of the active image area when using the 4:3 aspect ratio. • Film Mode: Use Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced, standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the DHD Controller detects the proper “pull-down” rate and vertical frequency.
Operation When you change the Remote Code on the DHD Controller, you must re-program the DHD Controller remote control to send that same code. To enable “extended” key code mode, you must re-program the DHD Controller remote control with a special five-digit code reserved for that purpose. To do this: 1. Press and hold the LIGHT button on the remote control for approximately five seconds, or until the LED on the remote lights solid red. Y 2.
Operation HDMI: Select HDMI from the Service menu to set the following options affecting communication between HDMI sources, the DHD Controller and the LS-10. • HDMI EDID Extension: Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structureprovided by a display device to describe its capabilities to a graphics card. It is what enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected.
Operation Front Panel Brightness: Select Front Panel Brightness from the Service menu to adjust the brightness of the front-panel LED and LCD status indicators. Standby LED LCD Y Logo LED EL IM IN A R • Logo LED: Select Logo LED from the Front Panel Brightness menu to adjust the brightness of the large, illuminated logo on the left side of the display.

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-10. 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-10 and DHD Controller externally: • Using a serial (RS-232) or TCP/IP (Ethernet) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those commands. • Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit.
External Control Command Format ➤ Commands sent from an automation/control system or PC to the DHD Controller must have the following format: (www:xyz) [CR] Where: • ( and ) indicate the start and end of the command data. If these characters are present, the DHD Controller assumes that valid command data is present in the command string. Otherwise, the DHD Controller ignores the command. • www indicates the command code. This field is case insensitive; for example, PWR, pwr and PwR are all equivalent.
External Control • www indicates the command code. This field is case insensitive; for example, PWR, pwr and PwR are all equivalent. • :x is the destination parameter. This is an optional parameter that indicates which memory the command is referencing. This parameter is reserved for future use. • z is the new value (for Set, Increment or Decrement commands) or the current value (for Get commands) for this parameter.

External Control The DHD Controller accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the NEC protocol. Each DHD Controller remote control button has an NEC control code associated with it. 6.2 Using Discrete IR Codes You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work with the DHD Controller. These third-party products usually come with a computer software application for this purpose.
