ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For LCD Displays
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco video product and welcome to the Runco family! We believe Runco produces
“The World’s Finest Home Theater Products.” With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years of
unparalleled video performance.
This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and retain it with your
other important documents.
WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
SERVICE LABOR: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of a
manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user.
PARTS: Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship
for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently
warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
Image retention on LCD display panels is specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty. Image retention or
staining of an image is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the terms of this Limited
Warranty.
Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for extended periods of
time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD players are also equipped with screen savers
for this reason.
TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (Burn-in): Please ensure that still images are not left on your LCD display panel. Also
ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information is present on the
left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent permanent retention on your LCD
display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain conditions once burn-in has occurred.
The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool bars and icons. (This
is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from burning into the monitor’s phosphors after
being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).
This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal use and does
not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any appearance items; failure resulting from
accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper installation or setup adjustments; improper
maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal; damage due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and
brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote
control units, damage resulting from leaking, old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under this
Limited Warranty.
CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM RUNCO AUTHORIZED
DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY. MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP
IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
INSTALLATION AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RUNCO DEALER TO PROTECT YOUR
RIGHTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH
YOUR RUNCO PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

RIGHTS, LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:
Runco limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty period. There
are no express warranties. Runco also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental or consequential damages related to
the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and
some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from
state to state.
EFFECTIVE WARRANTY DATE:
This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original bill of sale as
evidence of the purchase date.

Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Runco knows how to reach you promptly if we
should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.
CONTACT A RUNCO AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER TO OBTAIN SERVICE:
Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Runco video product will be performed at the location of
the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating distance from a Runco
Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Runco factory for
repairs. If, solely in Runco’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest
Runco Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Runco factory, it is the owner’s
responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Runco
Dealer. If this is not possible, contact Runco directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Runco will
return product transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping
costs will be the responsibility of the owner.

Proper installation of your Crystal Series LCD Display will ensure the highest possible
picture quality. Whether you are installing the Crystal Series LCD Display temporarily or
permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs
optimally.
3.3
Installation
Considerations
You can either place the Crystal Series LCD Display on a table or in an entertainment
center, or mount it on a wall.
Wall-Mounting the Crystal
Series LCD Display
If you do decide to wall-mount the Crystal Series LCD Display, ensure that the wall-mount
bracket is installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable
of supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be
reinforced.
Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.
Use only the Runco-approved wall-mount kit designed for your
display.
Note
In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast ratio in your
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the display, 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.
Ambient Light
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 display away
from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in
the display circuitry, which may affect performance.
• Keep the Crystal Series LCD Display away from devices that radiate electromagnetic
energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide
projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

The Crystal Series LCD Display has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration
standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed
carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has
implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to
obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco
recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF-certified installation
technician.

When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a

different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for
each input and resolution separately.) For information about
saving settings, refer to Save Settings (not available for RGB
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Runco recommends using the following calibration tools for best
results:
• External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test
DVD or equivalent.
• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an

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 Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow (
buttons, 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.
• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).
Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the
Figure 4-3. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast
Select Contrast from the Picture Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow (
buttons, 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.

Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the
Figure 4-4. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint
Select Color from the Picture Adjust menu. 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. To set the tint, select Tint from the Picture Adjust menu. While looking at
the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until the cyan and magenta
color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of blue.
Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls
are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the
other in order to achieve the optimum setting.

Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. (Color temperature defines the “color of gray.”)
The choices are 5400K, 6500K, 8500K and Custom. The default setting, 6500K, is
appropriate for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones
impart a reddish hue to the image.
Backlight: The Backlight control changes the apparent brightness of the displayed
image. Its effect is similar to that of a lamp intensity control on a projector.

select STD and press ENTER again. The Crystal Series LCD Display searches all
channel frequencies and adds a channel to its memory when it detects a signal on that
channel frequency. (This may take a few minutes.) If Auto Tuning fails to detect any
CATV channels, select HRC or IRC and try again. (STD, HRC and IRC refer to different
sets of frequencies used by cable television providers. IRC stands for “Incrementally
Related Carrier;” HRC stands for “Harmonically Related Carrier.”)
Add/Erase: If Auto Tuning fails to detect a channel, select Add/Erase from the Channel
menu, then select Add to add it to the channel list. To erase the currently-selected
channel from the available channel list, select Add/Erase from the Channel menu, then
select Erase.
Favorite Channel: You can specify up to four channels as “favorite” channels that can be
accessed by pressing a single button on the remote, instead of manually entering the channel
number. To do this, select Favorite Channel from the Channel menu and press ENTER.
Use the up- or down-arrow button to select the memory location in which you want to
store the favorite channel. Then, use the left- or right-arrow button to specify the channel
number.
To recall a favorite channel, press the corresponding button on the remote control (FC1,
FC2, FC3 or FC4).

Caption: Select Caption from the Setup menu to control the display of closed captions
when watching programs that contain them.
• Display: Select On or Off to control the display of closed captions.
• Mode: Select one of four captioning modes: CC1, CC2, CC3 or CC4. CC1 usually
contains the native-language captions; if a program is captioned in more than one
language, those captions are carried on CC2, CC3 or CC4.
The Crystal Series LCD Display also supports “text mode” captioning; to use this
feature, select Text1, Text2, Text3 or Text4. The text modes, instead of displaying a
few lines of captions somewhere on the picture, take over all or half of the screen to
display scrolling text information. (The text modes are seldom used today, so most of
the time there is no information there to see.) The text field is sometimes used for
embedding Internet data (called Interactive TV Links, or ITV Links) in the captions.
• CC On Mute: To have the Crystal Series LCD Display show captions when the audio
output is muted, set this option to Yes.
Parental Control: To block the display of television programs or movies based on their
ratings, select Parental Control from the Setup menu and press ENTER. Enter the default
Personal Identification Number (PIN) – 0000 – and press ENTER again.
• Parental Lock: This is the “master switch” for the parental controls. Set it to On on

• TV Rating: Select TV Rating from the Parental Control menu to block television
programs carrying a given rating, to prevent children from watching programs that are
deemed inappropriate. These ratings and content labels have been established by the
United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help parents and other
caregivers determine if a program is suitable for young viewers.
To block programs carrying a given rating, use the up- or down-arrow to select a

When you select Standard, the original Letterbox format of the source is maintained.
Black bars appear above and below the active image area.
When you select Cinema Fill, a 2.35 image is stretched vertically in both directions to fill a

Input Selection: Input 1 and Input 2 have both S-Video and composite video
connectors. Input 3 has both component and composite video connectors.
To specify which connection type you are using – or to switch from one to the other if
equipment is connected to both – select Input Selection from the Setup menu and press
ENTER.
Monitor Out: If you have equipment connected to the MONITOR OUT, select Monitor Out
from the Setup menu to route either the main or PIP audio/video signals to that output.
Overscan (not available for RGB input): 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.
Use the on-screen slidebars to set the desired amount of horizontal and vertical overscan,
as well as horizontal and vertical image shift.
These settings only affect 480i source material. For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources,
Overscan is generally not necessary or desirable.

Note
Blue Enable: Blue Enable removes all red and green color information from the image,
simulating a blue filter. You can use it instead of a blue filter when performing color and tint
adjustments.
DNR: To apply Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) to the input signal, select DNR from the ISF
Calibration menu. Noise reduction is useful for clearing up noisy RGB images such as
those from a PC. Adjust as desired using the left- or right-arrow buttons, keeping in mind
that reducing noise (which reduces high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.
Gamma: The Gamma control determines how gray shades are displayed between
minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma setting
helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions for the
“in-between” values utilized in other grays.
Unlike brightness and contrast controls, Gamma allows you to lighten or darken the
overall tone of your images without changing the extremes. All images will be more vibrant
while still showing good detail in dark areas.
The default Gamma setting of 2.4 is appropriate for most typical home theater
environments.
Baud Rate: Select Baud Rate from the ISF Calibration menu to set the data transfer rate
of the Crystal Series LCD Display’s RS-232 SERVICE port. (This setting must match the
data rate of the device connected to the RS-232 input.)
Command Ack: The Command Ack setting enables or disables the echo of serial
commands at the source. When set to on, commands sent from the serial controller (PC
or control/automation system) are logged and/or displayed on-screen. If this is not
desired, set Command Ack to Off.

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the Crystal Series LCD Display.
Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
5.1
Cleaning
Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the
Crystal Series LCD Display. Doing so may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the
display or remote control unit.
Cleaning the Display
Panel Body and Remote
Control
Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft cloth. In case of excessive dirt
buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent. Wring the cloth
thoroughly, then wipe the component and dry it with a dry soft cloth.
After dusting, wipe the screen gently using a soft cloth (cotton, flannel etc.). Do not use
tissue or coarse fabric. The screen surface is easily scratched; do not rub it or hit it with a
hard object.
Cleaning the Screen
Cleaning the Vents
If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth, do not allow water droplets on the
surface to enter into the product; this may cause a malfunction.
As a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a month to clean the vents on the
rear panel of the display of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest setting
when doing this). If not removed, accumulated dust can cause the internal temperature to
increase, resulting in possible breakdown or fire.
Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may
encounter with the Crystal Series LCD Display. If you encounter an issue not described
here, please contact your Runco dealer or Runco Technical Support.
