Warranty
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco® product! With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years
of unparalleled video performance.

covered Runco products occurring on or after June 1, 2011.
RuncoCare™ Limited Warranty Coverage
Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided below. If
a product proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period, Runco will repair the product, replace
the product with a substantially similar new or like-new product, or refund a prorated share of the purchase price (calculated
2
based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current, most-recent MSRP of a similar product), if repair or
replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible.
Length of RuncoCare™ Warranty Period
Runco products are warranted for two (2) years from the date of shipment from Runco. Lamps are warranted six (6) months
from the date of shipment or 1000 hours of use, whichever comes first. A replacement lamp is warranted for the remaining
portion (if any) of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days from the date it was shipped to you, whichever is longer. All
other accessories, which include but are not limited to cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold
with the Runco product, are warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of shipment.
RuncoCare™ Eligibility
This Limited Warranty is valid only in the country where the Product was originally purchased and for the buyer who originally
purchased the covered product from the authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable; it is not valid
for any subsequent buyer (if any). You may be required to provide proof of purchase in order to receive warranty services.

RuncoCare™ Standard Claim Procedure
• In the event of a product defect, please follow the claim procedure provided below:
A. Register your product if you have not yet done so. Visit http://www.runco.com/support/product-registration/ to
register the product.
B. Contact your original authorized dealer or distributor who sold the product.
C. The dealer/distributor will contact Runco Technical Support via email at support@runco.com or via phone at 1-800-
23-RUNCO (1-800-237-8626).
• The dealer/distributor will provide to Runco proof of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of the
problem and any troubleshooting steps already attempted.
• Runco’s technical support staff will attempt to assist the dealer/distributor in troubleshooting any technical issues that might
be causing the product to malfunction. If Runco is unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number will be issued for the exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim is
covered by the warranty. Once an RMA has been created, RMA status is available at serviceorders@runco.com.
• If an RMA is issued, the dealer or customer will need to return the defective product to the Runco repair depot location
specified by the Runco technical support representative. The dealer or customer will need to properly package the defective
product in a suitable shipping container consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., cables,
remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals). Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support
representative.
• The dealer or customer is responsible for paying freight charges and insurance to ship the defective product to the Runco
repair depot location. If there are any shipping damages, the dealer or customer will need to address and resolve any
shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.
• Runco will not accept a returned product unless an RMA has been issued by Runco.
• For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product to the dealer/distributor
from the Runco repair depot. For select countries or geographies Runco will ship via an economy express service. Return
delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination, and Runco is unable to deliver to PO Box and FPO
Box addresses.
• Note: in the 48 contiguous United States, other options for on-site service or advance exchange for the product may apply,
if you purchased the Runco PremierCare™ Service Plan.
What to Include with Your Return
1. Return only the defective product with the lamp (if applicable).
2. Runco will not be responsible for returning or replacing any accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens
cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product) that are returned with the defective product.
3. Repaired or replacement products will be shipped with a lamp (if applicable) but without any accessories.
RuncoCare™ Warranty Exclusions
This Limited Warranty does not include and is limited by the following:
1. Products not purchased from an authorized Runco dealer
2. Rental costs incurred by the customer in the event of product defect or failure
3. Any product with a defaced, modified, or removed serial number

A. Accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, lightning, or other acts of nature, smoke
exposure (cigarette or otherwise), unauthorized product modification (including use of an unauthorized mount), or
failure to follow instructions supplied with the product
B. Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by Runco
C. Any damage to the product due to shipment
D. Removal or installation of the product
E. Causes external to the product, such as electric power fluctuations or failure
F. Use of supplies or parts (including lamps) that are not purchased from Runco or do not meet Runco’s specifications
G. Normal wear and tear
H. Expected lamp degradation and normal decrease in lamp output over a period of time or as the lamp is consumed
I. Customer caused defects, including but not limited to, scratched/defaced/altered plastics
J. Failure to follow maintenance procedures as outlined in the product’s user guide where a schedule is specified for
regular cleaning of the product
K. Opening the product and/or tampering with internal circuitry

M. Any damage or dissatisfaction associated with latent images, “burnin,” or any other damage determined by Runco to
be the result of customer use patterns
N. Any other cause, which does not relate to a product defect in material or workmanship
5. Removal, installation, and set-up service charges are excluded from the warranty.
6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and
specifications for the product.
7. Bright or dark sub pixels that are characteristic of LCD technology and considered by Runco to be acceptable and within
Runco’s manufacturing specifications.
Specifically, it is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing
process. A bright sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The
sub pixels are usually hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The
following are Runco’s criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the
number of bright or dark sub pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and
d) the Runco model size. If sub pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and
will be replaced if reported within the warranty period.
Other Terms and Conditions
1. If the defective product is not properly packaged and is damaged in transit during its return to Runco, you may be invoiced
for either the repair costs, if repairable, or the MSRP of a replacement product and shipping costs incurred by Runco.
2. The repaired or replaced product will assume the remainder of your original product’s warranty term or 90 days from the
date the repaired or replaced product is shipped, whichever is longer.
3. If a replacement product is sent, the replacement becomes the property of the customer and the defective product
becomes the property of Runco.

The revolutionary Q-1500d Series LED Home Theater Projection System pairs
energy-saving LED technology with proprietary Runco engineering to create unsurpassed
performance and unrivaled customization. The Runco QuantumColor™ Q-1500d Series
LED Home Theater Projection System maximizes the benefits of Runco’s new InfiniLight™
lampless LED illumination technology and pairs it with the proprietary Runco Brightness
Acceleration Engine™ to produce large-screen, bright images making the Q-1500d the
brightest LED home theater projector available in the world.
1.3
Description, Features
and Benefits
The Q-1500d is an energy-efficient projector with the widest color gamut ever available in
home theater projection. But simply creating a projector platform with lampless
technology and the largest color gamut isn’t enough. Harnessing its incredible color
options, Runco introduces its revolutionary new Personal Color Equalizer™, which allows
color adjustment that includes those exactly defined by the cinematographer and the
color preferences of each individual viewer for each source. Proprietary Runco Smart
Color (RSC™) provides a hue compensation curve and gamut mapping that allows for
lifelike, accurate flesh tones while increasing color saturation, without sacrificing the purity
of other colors.
The Q-1500d’s unparalleled brightness is both a combination of Runco’s new Brightness
Acceleration Engine™ and a phenomenon called Q-lumens. Q-lumens enable the
Q-1500d to outperform its specifications.
The Q-1500d Series LED Home Theater Projection System features advanced ViVix IV™
video processing, superb scaling (up to 1080p) and aspect ratio control. The Q-1500d is
enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum
installation flexibility.
For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the Q-1500d can also be paired with Runco’s
award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™ technology. Through an
ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision anamorphic optics,
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater.
When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the
image simply gets wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating useless black
bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
With Runco CineWide, the projection system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby
producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No
resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture information.
CineWide with AutoScope provides a motorized, remote-controlled anamorphic lens
mechanism.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
“superwide” format screen.

2. System Overview
The Q-1500d Series LED Home Theater Projection System consists of the following
components:
• The projector and optional CineWide with AutoScope equipment.
• A Primary DHD Controller unit that provides a video signal and on-screen display (OSD)
menu to the primary optical engine of the projector. In addition, the Primary DHD
Controller controls all of the other system components (projector, Secondary DHD
Controller and Brightness Acceleration Engine), in response to user input via its infrared
(IR) remote control unit or front-panel keypad, an external control system or HDMI
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) messages.
• A Secondary DHD Controller unit that provides a video signal and OSD menu to the
secondary optical engine of the projector.
• The Brightness Acceleration Engine, which accepts video signals from multiple analog
and digital sources, multiplexes them and distributes them to the Primary and
Secondary DHD Controllers.
Figure 2-1 shows how these components connect to and interact with each other. The
following sections describe each one in detail.

optical engines stacked one on top of the other. The “primary” optical engine (the one
nearest the glass) receives an HDMI video signal from the Primary DHD Controller. The
“secondary” optical engine (the one nearest the feet) receives an HDMI video signal from
the Secondary DHD Controller. The projector superimposes the output from one engine
onto that from the other engine to produce an extremely bright and focused image.

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.
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
roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to
project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.
➤
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.

For best performance, always use “first-surface” mirrors in your
rear-projection installation (as opposed to conventional,
“second-surface” mirrors with the reflective surface behind a transparent
substrate such as glass or acrylic).
Tip
First-surface mirrors provide a strict reflection without the “ghosting”
effect seen with a second surface mirror, where a faint secondary
reflection could be observed coming from the front surface of the glass.
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.
Audio/Video
Synchronization Issues
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and
video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.
According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more
than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45
milliseconds.
In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs
to be compensated for during the installation.
Table 3-5 shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings.

Ventilation
If you are mounting the Q-1500d in an enclosure, leave at least 3 inches (76.2 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.

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. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
3.5
Mounting the Q-1500d
Floor Mounting (Upright)
In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent
it from being moved during a presentation.
➤
Ceiling Mounting
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 Q-1500d and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
➤
(Inverted)
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector.
Note
Install the ceiling mount kit according to the instructions provided with the kit.
Installing the Projector in
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the
viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the
projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber
crutch tips or turntable feet).
➤
an Enclosure
Adjusting the Projection
If the Q-1500d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector,
you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount. If you do this, you
may need to use the mechanical lens shift and/or OSD image alignment controls, to
compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Power-Up Sequence and Optical

Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of
source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:
• The aspect ratio of the source material, as broadcast or encoded on the playback
medium.
• The “display type” (16:9 or 4:3) and output resolution settings at the source
component. Most modern DVD/BD players and set-top boxes have such controls.
• Viewer preference (original aspect ratio with “black bars,” or a full-screen presentation

optimum picture quality.
The DHD Controller 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 DHD
Controller input separately.

Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Runco recommends using an external test pattern source

results.

follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

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.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or
desirable.
This control defines the amount of overscan applied to the image. The range is from
0 to 20. There are two overscan modes:
• In Crop mode, each increment adds a mask at the top, bottom, left and right edges of
the source image equal to 0.5% of the displayed horizontal resolution (1% total). A
setting of 10, for example, crops the image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
• In Zoom mode, each increment adds a factor to the scaling of the source image so
that the vertical and horizontal resolutions are 100% plus 1% increments of the size
determined by the aspect ratio function. A setting of 10, for example, zooms in on the
image 5% on all sides or 10% total.

pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates
poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent
across the screen, that aspect ratio is maintained and that pixel phase (see above) can be
optimized.
For each input, the DHD Controller lets you save image quality settings as presets that you
can recall at a later time. You can create up to four presets per input and display mode

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. For other component video resolutions,
REC709 is used.
• RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the DHD Controller uses the RGB-PC
color space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709
for all other sources.
• Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the DHD Controller uses the
REC601 color space. For all other resolutions, REC709 is used.
In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not,
you can force the DHD Controller to use a specific color space. Choose one of the
following:
• REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.
• REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.
• RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at
255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image.
• RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at
235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined
in digital component standards.

running through the chroma channel. It is most noticeable in static, interlaced scenes
(IR) code set to which the DHD Controller will respond. By default, it is set to either 17
(Primary DHD Controller) or 31 (Secondary DHD Controller). You can change this
setting if either:
• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to
unpredictable or undesirable.
• You have multiple DHD Controllers and want to control them independently, as
opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this
scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or,
you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a
specific DHD Controller.
Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change the IR code to
which the controller will respond. Then, change the code sent by the
remote to match as described below.
Tip
When you change a remote code on the DHD Controller, you must re-program the
DHD Controller remote control to send that same code. To do this:
1. Press and hold the LIGHT button on the
LIGHT
remote control for approximately three
seconds, or until the LED on the remote lights

2. Enter a new two-digit code between 00 and 31

3. The LED turns off to confirm the code change. If you enter an invalid code, the LED
flashes for three or four seconds. Try again, entering a valid code.

6. External Control
In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there
are three methods of controlling the Q-1500d 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.
• Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands
from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
The following sections describe these methods.
The DHD Controller uses a simple text-based control protocol to take requests from
control devices and to provide responses to such devices. This section describes how to
send control messages over a serial link between the DHD Controller and an
automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software.
6.1
Serial Communications
The serial communication protocol described here replaces the
serial protocol used by legacy Runco products (manufactured prior
to September 2011) that include the DHD Controller.
Note
Runco recommends using this new protocol, as it is more concise
and provides greater control than the old one. However, to maintain
backward compatibility with existing automation/control system
modules, the legacy Runco serial protocol is also supported.
Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232 input of the Primary DHD Controller as
shown in Figure 3-17.
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 19200, to match that of the DHD Controller
RS-232 port.
Commands sent from an automation/control system or PC to the DHD Controller must
have the following format:
Command Format
(www:xyz) [CR]
Where:
• (and )indicate the start and end of the command data. If these characters are
present, the DHD Controller assumes that valid command data is present in the
command string. Otherwise, the DHD Controller ignores the command.
• wwwindicates the command code. This field is case insensitive; for example, PWR, pwr
and PwRare all equivalent.
• :xis the destination parameter. This is an optional parameter that indicates which
memory the command is referencing. This parameter is reserved for future use.

• yis the operand, which can have one of the following values:
?= “Get” operand
+= “Increment” operand
== “Set” operand
-= “Decrement” operand
• zis the value to set for this parameter. It can have one of two formats:
• Integer value: Any positive or negative number; for example, 100.
• String value: Any string surrounded by double quotes; for example, “This is a
string.”
• [CR]is the ASCII carriage return key (0x0D).
Response Format
Responses sent from the follower to the initiator shall have the following format:
➤
(u;www:x=z) [CR]
Where:
• (and )indicate the start and end of the command data. If these characters are
present, the DHD Controller assumes that valid command data is present in the
command string. Otherwise, the DHD Controller ignores the command.
• “u;” indicates the response code. This is only used by followers responding to a valid
CLI command received. For any response code other than 0, the follower echoes back
the command received rather than filling in the fields listed below.
The response code can be one of the following:
• 0 = Command successfully processed
• 1 = Unknown command code
• 2 = Invalid operator
• 3 = Destination parameter not supported
• 4 = Setting not available
• 5 = Setting value not available
• 6 = Setting value not supported
• 7 = String too long
• 8 = Command not supported in standby mode
• 9 = Invalid parameter
• 10 = Error processing command
• 11 = Password not entered
• wwwindicates the command code. This field is case insensitive; for example, PWR, pwr
and PwRare all equivalent.
• :xis the destination parameter. This is an optional parameter that indicates which
memory the command is referencing. This parameter is reserved for future use.
• zis the new value (for Set, Increment or Decrement commands) or the current value
(for Get commands) for this parameter. It can have one of two formats:
• Integer value: Any positive or negative number; for example, 100.
• String value: Any string surrounded by double quotes; for example, “This is a
string.”
• [CR]is the ASCII carriage return key (0x0D).

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.
6.2
Using Discrete IR
Codes
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. For more information, consult the documentation
provided with the remote control unit.
The IR control codes have the following characteristics:
• Each code consists of 14 bits:
IR Command Protocol
• Two (2) start bits (always 1);
• A toggle bit. This bit is inverted every time a key is released and pressed again. This
allows the DHD Controller to distinguish between a button that remains down and
one that is pressed repeatedly.
• Five (5) address bits. The default address is 17 (binary 10001). To change it, select
steps given on page 92.
• Six (6) data bits.
• The carrier frequency is 36 kHz, with the modulated pulses having a 25% duty cycle.
• Commands are sent at a maximum rate of 9 Hz.

The DHD Controller accepts and can respond to CEC command messages from a disc
player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using CEC, the DHD
Controller can perform the following actions:
6.3
Using HDMI CEC

• Turn itself and the display device on and select the correct input when the source
component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program.
• Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the DHD
Controller.
• Turn the source component off when the DHD Controller is turned off (unless the
source component is in playback mode).
• Change its OSD language when a similar change is made at the source.
To use CEC, connect your CEC-compatible sources to the HDMI inputs on the Q-1500d.
