Install the two AAA batteries with the correct polarity and then replace the cover. • Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries. Notes on Batteries • Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
Installation 3.2 Quick Setup Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the VX-22d installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Note Installation should be performed by a qualified custom video installation specialist. Y Table 3-1. Installation Overview Procedure PR EL IM IN A R 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 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 and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Installation 100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W) Screen Center Screen Width (W) PR EL IM IN A R Y 0% 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 VX-22d lens, as percentages and absolute measurements with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen. Table 3-4.
Installation Other Considerations ➤ Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: • 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 EL IM IN A R Y 3. Remove the Lens Cavity Front Cover. PR 4. Remove the Rear Lens Cap. 5. Hold the lens assembly with the motor facing the upper-right corner of the Lens Cavity. Carefully insert the back of the lens assembly into the hole in the lens flange. DO NOT PUSH THE LENS ASSEMBLY ALL THE WAY IN. Only push the lens assembly in far enough so that the front of the lens motor is clearly behind the projector chassis cover. 6.
Installation Caution Make sure to route the wire harness in its original position and away from the moving lens stages and Motor Assembly, to prevent unexpected disconnection or lens damage. EL IM IN A R Y 7. Lock the lens in place by turning the Lens Locking Nut (to the left of the lens) 180 degrees counter-clockwise. (Use a 6.0mm hex wrench.) 8. Replace the Lens Cavity Front Cover. 9. Reattach the Projector Front Jewelry by sliding the top down onto the two retaining dowels.
Installation Line up the eight mounting holes on the lens motor housing with those on the bottom of the projector. Install AutoScope Lens Motor PR EL IM IN A R Y Secure the motor to the projector with the eight screws provided for this purpose.
Installation Install Ceiling Mount ➤ Extension Brackets If you are installing a VX-22d/CineWide with AutoScope, use the supplied hardware to attach the ceiling mount extension brackets to the bottom of the projector as shown in Figure 3-6. EL IM IN A R Y For ceiling installations, these brackets bring the mounting points for the projector mounting plate (included with the ceiling mount kit) from the bottom of the projector up and around the lens motor housing.
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 VX-22d 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 VX-22d and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Installation 3.7 Connections to the VX-22d and DHD Controller Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the VX-22d, 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. • Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.
Installation Connect your video sources to the DHD Controller as shown and described in the sections that follow. HDMI Connections: See Figure 3-8. Y 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.

Installation RS-232 Controller ➤ Connection Use a “null-modem” 9-pin RS-232 cable to connect a PC or home theater control/automation system (if present) to the RS-232/485 port on the DHD Controller; see Figure 3-13. For more information about using this connection, refer to Serial Communications on page 63. 5 4 3 1 2 HD1 EL IM IN A R INPUTS WIRED REMOTE SYSTEM CONTROL INTERFACE I SERVICE ONLY 9 Pr / R Y Service port.
Installation If your VX-22d is equipped with a CineWide with AutoScope system, connect the AutoScope lens motor to a 12-volt trigger output on the DHD Controller; see Figure 3-14. Similarly connect other 12-volt trigger-activated equipment (such as retractable screens or screen masks) to the other trigger outputs. For more information on using the DHD Controller triggers, refer to Triggers on page 63. AC Input 3.
Installation 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 WIRED REMOTE input on the DHD Controller to extend the range of the remote control. See Figure 3-15.
Installation Projector/DHD Controller: Plug the female end of one power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the VX-22d (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. AutoScope Lens Motor: With AutoScope-equipped projectors, an additional power cord is provided for the lens motor. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC input on the rear of the lens motor assembly.
Installation 3.10 Primary Lens Adjustments To access the motorized lens controls, use the FOCUS, ZOOM and LENS buttons on the VX-22d remote control unit (described on page 14). Alternatively, select Display Device from the Service Menu. Select Configure, then Lens from the Display Device menu. The Lens menu gives you a great deal of control over the picture size, position and focus: To focus the projected image, use the cursor buttons to highlight “In” or “Out.
Installation If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust the 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 VX-22d Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-16.
Installation 4. Use the Lens Mounting Screws to attach the Lens Adapter Ring (item #1) to the Pitch Adjustment Yoke (item #2); see Figure 3-17. (Use the round, threaded holes on the yoke.) 5. Use the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws (item #3), Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (item #4) and T-Nuts (item #9) to attach the Pitch Adjustment Yoke and Lens Adapter Ring to the Anamorphic Lens Holder. The Yoke should be as close to the primary lens as possible. 6.
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. PR Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom pincushion distortion.
Installation Adjusting the Yaw: 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-right pincushion distortion: EL IM IN A R Y Anamorphic Lens (Top View) Correct Position Wrong Position PR Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place.
Installation Adjusting the Geometry: 1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the projector. 2. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely. EL IM IN A R Wrong Position Y 3. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly anamorphic: Correct Position PR Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic lens to fine-tune the optical focus.

Operation Note When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for each input separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to ISF Presets on page 54.
Operation EL IM IN A R Y Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast Select Contrast and press ENTER or SELECT. Adjust the contrast to a point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase in size. Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting.
Operation blue red EL IM IN A R Y magenta green cyan yellow gray Select Color and press ENTER or SELECT. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, 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 or SELECT. 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. Figure 4-5.
Operation Overscan: Image 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. Over scan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the display area. Select from 1% to 10% of Overscan, as desired.
Operation Use the Calibration menu to perform advanced picture quality adjustments. This menu should be used by ISF-certified technicians only. Calibration Calibration Note You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu. ISF Night Display Color Input Image Input Color To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the ISF Presets menu (see page 54) or use the corresponding buttons on the remote control.
Operation ISF Night - Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see above), but adjust the color balance of the incoming signal. These settings are also saved independently for each input. • Gain/Offset: Refer to ISF Night - Display Color, above. • Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a Composite, S-Video or Component video source.
Operation Use the Service menu to access advanced projector configuration settings. This menu should be used by ISF-certified technicians only. Service Service Note You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu. Test Video Display Device HD Format Triggers Test Video: Select Test Video from the Service Menu to access the internal test patterns on the VX-22d.
Operation Triggers: Select Triggers from the Service menu to configure the 12-volt trigger outputs. You can assign one or more trigger outputs to each aspect ratio. Those triggers are then activated by selecting that aspect ratio. If your projector is equipped with the Runco CineWide with AutoScope system, assign at least one trigger output (the same one to which the lens motor is connected) to the Cinema and Virtual Cinema aspect ratios.
5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours), or sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. When you replace a lamp, you should replace the filters as well. The VX-22d lamp is under high pressure. Handle it with great care at all times. Lamps may explode if dropped or mishandled. EL IM IN A R WARNING Y For lamp or filter replacement, please contact your nearest Runco authorized service center or Runco dealer.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting 6. Install the new lamp module. Y 7. Replace the lamp cover and re-tighten all screws. Whenever you replace the lamp – or more often if the projector is installed in an extremely dusty environment – you should also replace the filter located at the right side of the projector. EL IM IN A R 5.2 Filter Replacement 1. Loosen the four captive screws holding the filter access panel in place. Then, remove the panel. Side Filter Access Panel 2.
