Installation 3.2 Quick Setup Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the Q-750d 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 Q-750d and their associated throw ratios. Table 3-3. Throw Ratios for the Q-750d Series Throw Ratio Throw Range in with inches, with Primary 96x40.8-inch (2.35:1) Lens and Screen Anamorphic Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum Lens Standard Q-750d 1.85 – 2.40 134.31 174.24 (n/a) Standard Q-750d with Optik A Primary Lens 1.56 – 1.86 113.26 135.
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 EL IM IN A R Screen Width (W) Y 0% 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 (Standard Q-750d): The Q-750d provides up to 60% of vertical lens shift up or down. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.
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.

Connecting to AC Power Similarly connect the DHD Controller to a nearby AC outlet. 1. Turn on your source components. EL IM IN A R 2. Turn on the main power switch at the rear of the DHD Controller.
Installation 3.8 Primary Lens Adjustments The Q-750d gives you a great deal of control over the picture size, position and focus. Focus and Zoom ➤ To focus the projected image, grasp the lens by the outer ring and rotate it. Y EL IM IN A R Lens Shift ➤ PR Focus To access the lens shift controls, loosen the Phillips screw at the bottom of the decorative bezel on the front of the projector (see w). Then, remove the bezel.
Installation 5. Select Orientation, then choose Floor/Rear, Ceiling/Front or Ceiling/Rear, to match the installation method. Or, for front-projection installations, use the Auto setting to have the projector automatically determine the orientation (floor or ceiling) using an internal sensor. If you are installing a Q-750d/CineWide or Q-750d/CineWide with AutoScope, proceed as follows to install and adjust the anamorphic lens.
Installation Attach Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate or Fixed CineWide Base Plate: 1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers (item #8) from the bottom of the Anamorphic Lens Holder (item #5). 2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate or Fixed CineWide Base Plate (item #7). Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of the lens holder is perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the plate. 3.
Installation Configure Lens Motor Trigger (Q-750d/CineWide with AutoScope only): CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed. When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens moves out of the light path.
Installation Adjusting the Height (Y): With the white field still on-screen, loosen the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the screen: EL IM IN A R Y Too Low Correct position Too High When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the lens in place.

Operation Picture ➤ Picture Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate each DHD Controller input to achieve optimum picture quality. The DHD Controller has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF).
Operation PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four shaded boxes. Select Brightness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. Adjust the brightness so that: • The darkest black bars disappear into the background. • The dark gray areas are barely visible. • The lighter gray areas are clearly visible. • The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
Operation blue red EL IM IN A R Y magenta green cyan yellow gray Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-4. Figure 4-4. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint 1. Press the MENU button on the remote control or DHD Controller front panel. 2. Select Service from the Main Menu and press ENTER. 3. Enter the Service menu passcode. 4. Select Display Device from the Service menu and press ENTER. 5.
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 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. Overscan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the display 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 EL IM IN A R 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 To select a memory preset, press 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 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. Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting. • Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color temperature.

Operation • Hue/Saturation/Level: PCE provides the ability to define a custom color gamut in terms of primary (red, green and blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta) color hues, saturation and level (brightness). Each control operates only on the color specified. Surrounding colors are linearly interpolated based on their distance from each of these colors.
Operation Input Image: The Input Image controls are functionally similar to those in the Picture menu (refer to page 52), but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu passcode. Note The Input Image settings establish the “zero point” for the Picture menu settings, whose values represent offsets from the Input Image settings. For example, if you set Brightness to 10 in this menu, setting Brightness to 10 in the Picture menu results in an actual setting value of 20 (10+10).
Operation • Paste Settings: To apply the settings on the clipboard to a different input source, signal format and/or memory preset, do any or all of the following: • Switch to another DHD Controller input (for example, from HD1 to HD2). • Change the output signal format at the source (for example, from 720p/60 to 1080i/60). • Switch to another Memory Preset (for example, from ISF Night to Custom 1). Then, select Paste Settings from the Copy/Paste menu.
Operation Input Names: You can give each DHD Controller input a descriptive name. For example, you may want to change the default input name to the type of source component connected to it: “VCR,” “DVD,” “Laptop” et cetera. Input names can be up to 12 characters long. To edit an input name, select Input Names from the Service menu. Press or to select an input and press ENTER. Use the or buttons to change a character; press or to select a character to change.

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the Q-750d. If you encounter an issue not described here, please contact Runco Technical Support. Solution Neither the DHD Controller nor the projector turns on. Both front-panel LEDs on the DHD Controller are off (see Figure 2-3). • The DHD Controller is not plugged in or the AC outlet is not active.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart (continued) Symptom Possible Cause(s) Solution • The Red/Pr, Green/Y or Blue/Pb outputs from the source are connected to the wrong inputs on the DHD Controller. • Ensure that the source outputs are connected to the correct DHD Controller input. Image geometry is incorrect. • Incorrect aspect ratio selection. • Select the aspect ratio that best matches the source image and screen size (refer to Table 4-1).
6. External Control In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there are two methods of controlling the Q-750d 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. EL IM IN A R Y The following sections describe both of these methods.
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 6.2 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.
