PFP™ Controller Installation & Overall Description The PL-61cx system consists of the PFP Controller and the PL-61cx Plasma monitor. This system is unique in the way it is controlled; the control center for this system is located within the PFP™ Controller. The Controller tells the Plasma to turn on or off, controls its brightness, contrast, color temperature and more.

TINT (also known as 'hue') is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. If TINT is decreased, the image will appear redder, and increasing it will cause the image to appear greener. To set TINT properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter. Adjust TINT until the middle two tall color bars match the middle short color bars (see color bar drawing). COLOR (also known as 'saturation') increases or decreases the amount of color in the image.
SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become 'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear 'noisy' if adjusted too high. LUMA ENHANCE acts as an edge enhancement, especially around black to white transitions in the image.
Installation Menu The Installation menu is where you can adjust the image orientation, adjust keystone and even check the age of the lamp in the Plasma. When the Controller is turned on for the first time, the INSTALLATION item will not appear in the main menu. To enable the INSTALLATION menu, there are two options: · With the processor ON and no menus on-screen, simultaneously press the ENTER, UP and LEFT buttons (you don't need to hold them down).
The example on the previous page shows what would happen on a widescreen display if a small 4:3 image were used more often than widescreen images. To minimize this problem, the PL-61cx can provide SIDE BARS, which will put grey bars up on either side of a small 4:3 image (see 'side bar area' in the drawing above). This illuminates the otherwise unused portion of the display, minimizing a potential 4:3 burn. SIDE BAR LEVEL is the amount of illumination in the side bars.
Output Shift The OUTPUT SHIFT function shifts the entire image (including sidebars) up, down left or right. When you are centering the overall image, use output shift. If an image needs to be centered within the sidebars, use INPUT SHIFT (see below). Input Shift The INPUT SHIFT function shifts the video signal before it is processed. This is very effective if using a source that either is slightly out of phase or is otherwise off-center in relation to other sources.
Blanking The BLANKING function allows you to 'cut off' part of the image to fit the screen properly, or to eliminate anomalies on the extreme outsides (usually the top) of the image. This can be done to the top, bottom, left or right sides individually. Blanking Top Bottom Left Right 131 707 241 1292 To adjust BLANKING, highlight the desired area you wish to blank (top, bottom, left or right), and use the left and right arrows to make the adjustment.

Troubleshooting If the picture quality is poor or there is some other problem, check the adjustments, operations, etc., before requesting service. Symptom Mechanical sound is heard. The unit emits a crackling sound. Checks Remedy • Maybe the sound from the cooling fans used to prevent over heating. • Are the image and sound normal? • If there are no abnormalities in the image and sound, the noise is caused by the cabinet reacting to changes in humidity. This will not affect performance.
* 1 Overheat Protector If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your Runco Authorized Dealer.
PFP™ Controller Troubleshooting The following is a basic troubleshooting guide that can assist you in resolving typical problems may result in normal operation. If you have encountered problems that are not listed in this guide, please contact your Runco dealer for assistance. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION The Plasma does not turn on after initial installation. The Power LED on the front of the Controller stays yellow after the power button is pressed.
The image appears too bright, and there is a loss of definition in the brightest areas of the image. · Contrast is set too high. · The DVD player is set for a high-level output. · The video signal has not been terminated properly somewhere in the system. · Turn down the CONTRAST level on the Controller. Midrange is -10; it is recommended to keep it below 0 to prevent this problem. · Set the DVD player for a nominal output (no boost or gain). · Ensure all video signals are terminated in 75 Ohms.
