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.  
IMPORTANT – WARRANTY REGISTRATION:  
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.

Proceed as follows to connect the Crystal Series LCD Display to your video sources,  
external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.  
3.4  
Connections to the  
Crystal Series LCD  
Display  
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.  
• Use the left audio input when connecting mono audio sources.  
Rear Connector Access  
To access the left rear connector panel, push down on the plastic clip holding the cover in  
place. Then, pull firmly on the cable access cover to open it.  
Connecting the Crystal  
Series LCD Display to  
Source Components  
Connect your video sources to the Crystal Series LCD Display as shown and described in  
the sections that follow.  
Antenna/Cable TV Connection: Connect your antenna or cable television source to the  
ANT jack on the rear of the Crystal Series LCD Display; see Figure 3-1.

DVI Connections: The Crystal Series LCD Display has a DVI input for connecting a DVD  
player, DTV decoder, personal computer or any other device with a DVI or HDMI output.  
Connect such devices as shown in Figure 3-2.  
Use the DVI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest  
Tip  
video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain  
throughout the entire signal path, from source component output  
into the display.

Brightness  
Contrast  
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.

All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input  
separately.  
Save Settings  
Restore Settings  
When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a  
Note  
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when 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  
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE  
pattern.

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  
one shown in Figure 4-3.  
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.

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.

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust  
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture Adjust 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 different  
sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to  
eliminate them.

Color Temperature: To adjust the color temperature, select Color Temp. from the  
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.

Save Settings (not available for RGB input): The Crystal Series LCD Display lets you  
save image quality settings for each input and supported resolution to a preset. You can  
recall this preset at a later time by simply pressing a button on the remote control or using  
the Restore Settings menu command (see below).  
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  
• Color temperature and white balance  
Restore Settings (not available for RGB input): To recall a preset, choose Restore

use to boost or cut certain audio frequencies. To use it, select Equalizer from the Audio  
menu and press ENTER. Select one of four equalizer presets – Standard (flat), Music, Film  
or Speech – or select Custom to create your own according to taste. The five frequency  
bands are 100, 300, 1000, 3000 and 10,000 Hertz (Hz).  
Audio Language  
TV Speaker  
Surround: The Crystal Series LCD Display has a “surround sound” mode that simulates a  
multi-channel sound system. To use the surround mode, select Surround from the Audio  
menu and set it to On.  
When Surround is set to On, the graphic equalizer is disabled.  
Note  
Audio Language: Some digital TV broadcasts provide audio soundtracks in multiple  
languages. If you are watching such a program, select Audio Language from the Audio  
menu to choose a soundtrack language: English, Français, Español or Português.  
TV Speaker: To disable the internal speakers, select TV Speaker from the Audio menu,  
set it to Off and press ENTER. The effect is similar to using the MUTE button, except that  
the Crystal Series LCD Display “remembers” this setting if you turn off the display, then  
turn it back on.

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  
Off.  
• 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

appearance of movies in Letterbox format.  
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  
16:9 display.  
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

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

6. Serial Communications  
To interface the Crystal Series LCD Display with a home theater automation/control  
system or a PC running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or  
PC as shown in Figure 3-8.  
6.1  
RS-232 Connection  
and Port Configuration  
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop  
bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to match that of the Crystal Series LCD Display  
RS-232 port; the default baud rate is 115200.  
Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. All commands are in ASCII format. A carriage  
return is not required after a command.  
6.2  
Serial Command  
Syntax  
When you send a valid command, the Crystal Series LCD Display executes it and  
acknowledges it with a right-bracket character (]) followed by the four-digit numeric code  
you sent; for example, ]0002. When you send an invalid command, the Crystal Series  
LCD Display ignores it and returns -N/A instead of the four-digit code.

Table 6-1. Serial Commands (continued)  
Command  
Description  
The following serial commands are meant to emulate buttons on the remote control. Each button  
has its own serial command, so effectively it is as if you were using the IR remote only you’ll be  
doing so via serial commands. These commands provide active OSD responses just like the IR  
remote.  
Each command begins with [key followed by the four-digit number of the button. No carriage  
return is necessary. The response you receive from the unit if the command is valid will be a  
right-bracket (]) followed by the four-digit numeric code you sent. (For example, the ‘ON’ com-  
mand is [key0015; the response will be ]0015). All commands are in ASCII.
