Installation Notes on Remote Control ➤ Operation • Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the DHD Controller. • If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. • The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting. • Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control.
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 Type Table 3-2.
Installation Throw Distance ➤ Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1.
Installation Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Vertical and Horizontal Position 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% PR EL IM IN A R Screen Width (W) 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.
Installation Table 3-4 lists the lens shift limits for each available SC-50d/SC-60d lens, as percentages and absolute measurements with a 120 x 67.5 inch (1.78:1) screen. Table 3-4.
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 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 Ventilation ➤ If you are mounting the SC-50d/SC-60d in an enclosure, leave at least 10 inches (250 mm) of space on the left and right sides between it and surrounding objects, as shown in Figure 3-6. This allows heat to disperse, maintaining the proper operating temperature. /$03 $,5 287)/2: &)0 >$3352; @ Y > @ 0,1,080 %$&.
Installation The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. Proceed as follows to install it: 1. Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector. WARNING Never operate this projector without a lens. The lens seals the projector, preventing contaminants from entering the interior of the projector. Y 2. Remove the rear cap from the lens. (Keep the front lens cap on the projection lens to protect it from damage during the installation process.) EL IM IN A R 3.
Installation 3.5 Installing the Optional CineWide with AutoScope Lens Motor If you are installing a standard SC-50d/SC-60d (without an anamorphic lens), skip this step and proceed with Mounting the SC-50d/SC-60d (page 27). If you are installing an SC-50d/CineWide with AutoScope or SC-60d/CineWide with AutoScope, proceed as follows to install the lens mount/motor assembly. Note 1. Do not install the CineWide lens yet, only the AutoScope lens motor.
Installation There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. 3.6 Mounting the SC-50d/SC-60d 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 SC-50d/SC-60d and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Installation Adjusting the Projection ➤ Angle If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount. For a floor installation, turn the adjustable feet at the bottom of the projector to adjust the projection angle. EL IM IN A R Y The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it affecting performance.
Installation Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the SC-50d/SC-60d, your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Turn off all equipment before making any connections. 3.7 Connections to the SC-50d/SC-60d 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 SC-50d/SC-60d. Use a standard, modular telephone cable with RJ11 plugs at both ends. On the SC-50d/SC-60d end, use the provided RJ11-to-DB9 adapter. This adapter is wired as shown in Figure 3-10.
Installation Connect your video sources to the DHD Controller as shown and described in the sections that follow. HDMI Source Connections: See Figure 3-11. 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 3-12.

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 3-16. 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 94.
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 you are installing an SC-50d/CineWide with AutoScope or SC-60d/CineWide with AutoScope, connect the AutoScope lens motor to a 12-volt trigger output on the DHD Controller; see Figure 3-18. Similarly connect other 12-volt trigger-activated equipment (such as retractable screens or screen masks) to the other trigger outputs. AC Input EL IM IN A R Power Switch Y AutoScope Lens Motor 3.

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 3-20. For more information about configuring and using this connection, refer to Network on page 71.
Installation 3.8 Turning on the Power 1. Power up your source components. 2. Turn on the main power switch at the rear of the projector. 3. If this is an AutoScope-equipped projector, turn on the main power switch at the rear of the AutoScope lens motor. The lens motor power switch is located next to the AC input (see Figure 3-18). 4. Turn on the main power switch at the rear of the DHD Controller. Y 5.
Installation 3.10 Adjusting the Picture Orientation By default, the SC-50d/SC-60d is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the projector is installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen and/or mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this: 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.
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 3-21.
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 SC-50d/CineWide with AutoScope or SC-60d/CineWide with AutoScope, proceed as follows to install and adjust the secondary anamorphic 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 The SC-50d/SC-60d Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-23.
Installation Attach Lens Mounting ➤ Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage 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 (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 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.
Installation Yaw Adjust: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-to-right pincushion distortion: EL IM IN A R Y Anamorphic Lens (Top View) Correct Position PR Wrong Position Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place. Geometry: 1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the DHD Controller. 2.
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic lens to fine-tune the optical focus. After you have installed the anamorphic lens, ensure that the 2.35:1 image corners and edges are aligned with the screen with no geometric distortion. Use the Image Alignment controls to make any necessary adjustments (refer to Adjusting the Image Geometry on page 43). 3.

The default setting, 6500K, is appropriate for most situations.
Operation • RVR: Use the RVR control to increase or decrease the Reflectance Volume Regulation setting. RVR lets you adjust the aperture or iris size (the physical opening through the lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to optimize brightness and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the viewing area. Use a lower setting (larger aperture = higher brightness) for rooms with a lot of ambient light.
Operation To use this feature, select Copy/Paste from the Calibration menu. • Copy Settings: Select Copy Settings from the Copy/Paste menu to place the settings for the current input source, signal format (resolution and frame rate) and memory preset onto a “clipboard,” which is a temporary memory location. When you do, the message “Settings Copied” briefly appears on-screen. The Copy/Paste menu then re-appears, indicating the source of the copied settings.

Press or to select the first, second, third or fourth byte of the address. 2. Press or to set the value of that byte. The range is from 0 to 255 inclusive. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for all four bytes of the address. 4. Press MENU when you have finished setting the address.
Operation • E-Mail Notification: Select E-Mail Notification from the Network menu to specify when and to whom the DHD Controller sends error and service notification messages via e-mail. The notification messages are in the following format: To: [E-Mail Address; see below] From: do-not-reply@runco.
Operation • Periodic Service Notification: You can have the DHD Controller send periodic reminders via e-mail to perform regular maintenance tasks. To do this: 1. Select Periodic Service Notification from the E-Mail Notification menu. 2. Highlight Enable and press ENTER. 3. Highlight On and press ENTER. 4. Press MENU. 5. Highlight Timer and press ENTER. 6. Press or to set the notification interval in months. The range is from 1 to 255 inclusive; the default is 12 months. Y 7. Press MENU.
Operation • Remote Network Control: Select Remote Network Control from the Network menu to enable or disable control of the DHD Controller via an IP connection (typically using a web browser). Set it to On to allow all incoming remote network connectivity. Set it to Off to disable any incoming network communication that was not initiated by the DHD Controller. This setting has no effect on the E-Mail Notification or Auto Firmware Upgrade functions.
Operation Color Space: Select Color Space from the Service menu to choose the color space of the source signal for HDMI, RGB, and component connections. • The default setting, Auto, functions as follows: • HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the DHD Controller uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the DHD Controller uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used.
Operation • 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. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing you may want to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.
Operation Sync Threshold: Select Sync Threshold to adjust the threshold at which negative pulses on the component video green/luma channel are interpreted to be sync pulses. Sync Threshold adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles are present) and causes the projector to temporarily lose sync.
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. LCD Standby LED Y Logo LED Note 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. The range is from 0 (off) to 31. During a firmware upgrade, this LED lights at full brightness regardless of the Logo LED setting.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2,000 hours), or sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. Y Keep track of the number of hours the lamp has been in use and be aware of any changes to brightness. These indicators will help you effectively maintain operation of the projector. To find out how long the currently-installed lamp has been in service, select Lamp Info.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting 5. Install the new lamp: a Take care to align the new lamp properly in the correct orientation inside the lamp compartment. b Press firmly on the lamp to properly seat it. c Secure the lamp by tightening the three (3) captive screws. 6. Close the lamp compartment cover and tighten the captive screw. The lamp will automatically turn on again when the cover is closed. Y Note PR EL IM IN A R 7. Re-attach the Left (Exhaust) Side Panel to the projector.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the SC-50d/SC-60d. If the suggested solutions fail to resolve the problem or if you encounter an issue not described here, please contact Runco Technical Support. Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart The projector does not turn on. Possible Cause(s) Solution • The SC-50d/SC-60d is not plugged in and switched on, or the AC outlet is not active.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart (continued) Symptom The display is jittery or unstable. Possible Cause(s) Solution • Poor-quality or improperly connected source. • Ensure that the source is properly connected and of adequate quality for detection. • Correct at the source. • The horizontal or vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range for the projector. Y • Contrast is set too high.
External Control 6. External Control In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there are three methods of controlling the SC-50d/SC-60d 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.
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.
