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. To maximize image quality, ensure that the screen you intend to use with the LS-100d meets the following requirements: 3.3 Installation Considerations Screen Requirements • Width: Must be between 77” (1.96 meters) and 86” (2.18 meters) in width.
Installation Rear Projection ➤ Projection Distance and ➤ Image Size The LS-100d cannot be used in rear-projection applications. Table 3-2 gives the projection distance and image size ranges for the LS-100d. EL IM IN A R Y Table 3-2. LS-100d Projection Distance and Image Size Ranges Minimum Maximum 0.28 in. (7.2 mm) 1.87 in.

Installation Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.
Installation 3.4 Mounting the LS-100d There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. The projector can be placed on a secure, 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 Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the LS-100d, your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Turn off all equipment before making any connections. 3.5 Connections to the LS-100d and DHD Controller • 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 RS-232 Connection: Connect the Display Control output from the DHD Controller to the RS-232 input on the LS-100d. Use a standard, modular telephone cable with RJ11 plugs at both ends. On the LS-100d end, use the provided RJ11-to-DB9 null-modem adapter. This adapter is wired as shown in Figure 3-2.
Installation Connect your video sources to the DHD Controller as shown and described in the sections that follow. HDMI Source Connections: See Figure 3-3. 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 3-4.

Installation The DHD Controller provides a second HDMI output (labeled HDMI Out (Audio Only)) for connection to an audio receiver/switching system or secondary display device for monitoring purposes. See Figure 3-8. The DHD Controller does not transmit HDMI CEC control messages from the “HDMI Audio Out” connector. For more information about CEC, refer to Using HDMI CEC Messages on page 88.
Installation The DHD Controller provides the following interfaces to external equipment that allow it to control or be controlled by that equipment: • An RS-232 interface to a PC or control/automation system; • Three (3), 12-volt trigger outputs; • An infrared (IR) repeater input; • An Ethernet network interface for firmware updates and maintenance notifications. The following sections describe how to make these interface connections.
Installation Connecting 12-volt Trigger Outputs to External Equipment: If your home theater contains a screen mask or other 12-volt trigger-activated equipment, connect it to the 12-volt trigger outputs as shown in Figure 3-10.

Installation Ethernet Network Connection: Use a standard, Category 5 network cable with an RJ-45 plug to connect a network hub, router or gateway to the Ethernet port on the DHD Controller; see Figure 3-12. For more information about configuring and using this connection, refer to Network on page 58.
Installation 3.6 Turning on the Power 1. Turn on your source components. 2. Turn on the main power switch at the rear of the DHD Controller. 3. Press the ON button on the remote control (or the ON/STANDBY ( ) button on DHD Controller front panel) to turn on the system. The vacuum fluorescent display on the DHD Controller front panel briefly displays “Initializing System,” followed by “Starting LS-100d.” On the projector, the POWER LED rapidly flashes green to indicate that it is warming up.
Installation The LS-100d lens focus controls are located beneath a hinged door on the top of the projector. To access them, press down on the door edge closest to the mirror and open the door. 3.7 Lens Focus Adjustment Y Press Here to Open Door Use the Coarse Focus Adjust dial to adjust the focal length in large increments. Use the Fine Focus Adjust dial to adjust the focal length in small increments.
Installation 3.9 Adjusting the Image Geometry 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 3-13.
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.

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-100d 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 • y is the operand, which can have one of the following values: ? = “Get” operand + = “Increment” operand = = “Set” operand - = “Decrement” operand • z is the value to set for this parameter. It can have one of two formats: • Integer value: Any positive or negative number; for example, 100. • String value: Any string surrounded by double quotes; for example, “This is a string.” • [CR] is the ASCII carriage return key (0x0D).

External Control 6.2 Using Discrete IR Codes The DHD Controller accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the Phillips RC5 protocol. Each DHD Controller remote control button has an RC5 control code associated with it. 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.

External Control 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: 6.3 Using HDMI CEC Messages • Turn itself and the display device 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.
