RuncoCare™ Standard Two Year Limited  
Warranty  
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco® product! With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years  
of unparalleled video performance.  
This Limited Warranty is provided free of charge by Runco International, LLC (“Runco”) with the purchase of a covered Runco  
product. This Limited Warranty is applicable to all Runco projectors, processors, LCD display and plasma display products,  
1
with the exception of the following models: XP-103DHD, SC-1 and SC-1a . This Limited Warranty applies to purchases of  
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.  
1. Runco may update this list of products excluded from this warranty from time to time at Runcos sole discretion, but updates will  
not apply on a retroactive basis.  
2. MSRP is defined as the most recent product price listed on Runcos price list.

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 [email protected] 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 [email protected].  
• 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

4. Damage, deterioration, or malfunction resulting from:  
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  
L. Products lost, stolen or discarded  
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.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point  
where they exit from the apparatus.  
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.  
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.  
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in  
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,  
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.  
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could  
cause damage to this unit.

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D VIEWING:  
Please read and make sure you understand the following safety information before using the product for viewing 3D content.  
Provide this information to the end users of this product and ensure that they understand it.  
It is widely recognized that stereographic display devices can cause discomfort, including, without  
WARNING  
limitation, dizziness, nausea, headaches, eye fatigue and eye-strain, in some individuals. The 3D  
effect and experience will vary by individual, depending on a variety of factors, including his or her  
health and vision. Runco recommends that users take regular breaks when watching 3D video or  
playing games using stereoscopic displays. Discontinue use if any discomfort occurs. Parents of  
young children should ensure their children avoid extensive exposure to electronic stereographic  
entertainment.  
The quality and appropriateness of the 3D screen materials onto which the image is projected and  
the quality of the 3D content being displayed both have a significant and noticeable impact on the  
overall 3D experience. A properly-calibrated projection system, including glasses and an  
optimized third-party screen, displaying high-quality 3D content is the best formula for immersive  
and comfortable 3D experiences in the home. Please refer to the remainder of this manual for  
proper projector installation and usage instructions.  
The glasses that accompany this product are not safe to use as sunglasses, protective eyewear or  
any use outdoors or other than only in conjunction with the proper operation of the Runco product  
with which they are sold. It is common to dim the lights in a home theater. Using 3D glasses and  
the immersive imagery of stereoscopic imagery can increase the risk of tripping or falling the dark.  
Special care should be taken.  
Do not tilt your head while using the 3D glasses.

Introduction  
Runco’s XtremeProjection™ Series X-200i Active 3D Home Theater Projector — the  
flagship member of the XtremeProjection series — is a single-chip DLP projector that,  
uncalibrated, measures 1,430 ANSI lumens and when calibrated to Runco’s CSMS™  
specifications, achieves a light output of 50 Foot-Lamberts (fL). Featuring integrated  
processing and multiple lens options, the 3D-capable X-200i comes equipped with three  
pairs of active 3D glasses and relies on frame-sequential 3D technology to ensure that  
users can enjoy 2D and 3D content on the same screen, with full 1080p HD resolution  
delivered to both eyes.  
1.3  
Description, Features  
and Benefits  
Designed specifically for the custom installer who specializes in high-end theaters and  
appreciates craftsmanship and video quality, the X-200i brings big screen experiences to  
the home. The X-200i relies on a combination of state-of-the-art, DLP-based  
SuperOnyx™ technology and proprietary electronics, processing and optics to deliver  
stunning images in both 2D and 3D. The X-200i incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging Science  
Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance, including ISF Day and ISF Night  
presets for the ultimate video performance any time of day.  
For unparalleled widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the  
CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format, the X-200i can also be paired with Runco’s  
award-winning CineWide™ technology. Through an ingenious combination of software,  
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, CineWide maintains constant image 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 image height is  
maintained.  
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 requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),  
“superwide” format screen.  
Note  
Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power  
on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation control  
systems.

3. Installation  
To install batteries in the remote control:  
3.1  
Remote Control  
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.  
2. Install two AA batteries with the correct polarity.  
3. Replace the cover.  
1.  
3.  
2.  
• Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.  
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.  
Notes on Batteries  
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid  
damage from battery leakage.  
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as from sunshine, fire or the like.  
• In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the screen which will  
reflect the IR signal from the remote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In  
some cases, however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote  
control at the projector and try again.  
Notes on Remote Control  
Operation  
• 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.  
• During 3D operation, the remote control response may be adversely affected by  
interference from the Active 3D Emitter. It may help to point the remote directly at the  
projector during 3D operation. In some cases, it may be better to use the projector  
keypad when viewing 3D content.

Installation  
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.  
Ambient Light  
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.  
Throw Distance  
You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and  
multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2. The result of this calculation tells you  
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.  
Estimating Throw Distance  
Throw Distance (TD) =

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 3-6. 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  
Mirror  
Figure 3-6. Folded Optics  
For best performance, always use “first-surface” mirrors in your  
Tip  
rear-projection installation (as opposed to conventional,  
“second-surface” mirrors with the reflective surface behind a  
transparent substrate such as glass or acrylic).  
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.  
This is especially critical for 3D viewing; with a conventional  
second-surface mirror, the resulting image quality may be  
unacceptable.  
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.

Installation  
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 X-200i  
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  
(Inverted)  
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 X-200i and suspend it from the  
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.  
For detailed installation instructions, refer to the documentation provided with the ceiling  
mount kit.  
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.  
If you do this, you may need to vertically shift the image to compensate. For detailed  
instructions, refer to Lens Adjustments on page 37.

Installation  
Proceed as follows to connect the X-200i to your video sources, external controller(s) – if  
present – and AC power.  
3.6  
Connections to the  
X-200i  
When connecting your equipment:  
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.  
• 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. (Don’t use a 20-foot cable when a  
6-foot cable will suffice.)  
• Route all cables through the opening at the bottom of the projector.  
• Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on  
connectors that have them.  
To access the connector panel,  
open the rear door by grasping the  
handle and pulling it down and  
toward you.

3.11  
Installing and  
Adjusting the  
CineWide Anamorphic  
Lens  
It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly  
Note  
adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that  
the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the  
Runco offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and  
cylindrical.  
• The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the  
width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.  
• The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It  
stretches the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display  
device.  
The X-200i/CineWide is available with either a prismatic or a cylindrical anamorphic lens.  
The X-200i/CineWide with AutoScope always uses a cylindrical lens.  
The prismatic anamorphic lens can only be used with the standard  
primary lens. It is not compatible with the short-throw or long-throw  
primary lens.  
Note  
If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney  
(Prismatic) Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment on page 45. If you are  
installing a CineWide projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section.

Installation  
Attach Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate:  
1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers and Washers (8) from the bottom of the  
Anamorphic Lens Holder (6).  
2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate or Fixed  
CineWide Base Plate (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. Secure the Anamorphic Lens Holder to the plate using the Hex Bolts/Washers (9) and  
Yaw/X Adjustment Levers that you removed in Step 1.  
4. Use the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws/Washers (4), Pitch Adjustment  
T-Screws/Washers (5) and T-Nuts (1) 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.  
5. Attach the lens to the Lens Adapter Ring by threading it clockwise.

Installation  
Configure Lens Motor Trigger (CineWide with AutoScope):  
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.  
To configure the lens motor trigger on the X-200i for proper AutoScope operation:  
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.  
2. On the X-200i remote control or system keypad, press MENU.  
3. Select CONTROL from the Master Menu.  
4. If you connected the AutoScope lens motor to the TRIGGER II output (as shown in  
Figure 3-8), confirm that the Trigger 2 setting is AutoScope. (This is the default  
setting.) Change it if necessary. If you connected the AutoScope lens motor to the  
TRIGGER I output, change the Trigger 1 setting to AutoScope.  
5. Select CineWide from the Control menu and set it to AutoScope.  
6. Select the Cinema or Virtual Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into  
position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA or V-CINE on the X-200i remote  
control.  
7. Proceed as described in the following sections to adjust the anamorphic lens.  
Horizontal Position (X) Adjustment:  
1. Project a white field on the screen.  
2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens.  
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place (from right to left or vice versa) so that  
there are no shadows on either side of the screen:  
Too Far Left  
Correct position  
Too Far Right  
4. When the horizontal position is properly set, tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to  
secure the lens in place.

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:  
Too Low  
Correct position  
Too High  
When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the  
lens in place.  
Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom  
pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below  
the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely.  
Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular:  
Correct Lens Angle  
Incorrect Lens Angle  
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is  
normal.  
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to  
secure the lens in place.  
There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is  
Note  
properly adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the  
case, Runco recommends that you slightly over-scan the image  
into the screen frame area to mask the distortion.

Geometry:  
1. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely.  
2. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly  
anamorphic:  
Wrong Position  
Correct Position  
3. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the  
Anamorphic Lens Set Screw (3) to secure the lens in place. (When  
viewed from the front, the rear opening on the anamorphic lens  
should appear as a tall, narrow oval.)  
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic  
lens to fine-tune the optical focus.

Overscan: 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 hides these inactive, outer edges of the image. Choose one of the following:  
• Off: This setting leaves the image as-is.  
• Crop: This setting adds a mask at the left and right edges of the source active image  
equal to 3% of the displayed horizontal resolution, and at the top and bottom edges  
equal to 3% of the displayed vertical resolution.  
• Zoom: This setting adds a factor to the scaling of the source active image so that the  
vertical and horizontal resolutions are 106% of the size determined by the aspect ratio  
function. Anything outside of the original image area is removed.  
Figure 4-3 illustrates the effect of each overscan setting for each aspect ratio.

3D Control: Select 3D Control from the Main Menu to set the following options related to  
formatting and delivery of HDMI 3D content.  
• 3D Mode: Select 3D Mode from the 3D Control menu to specify how the X-200i  
processes the “left eye” and “right eye” image components.  
• Choose Auto to have the X-200i determine the appropriate 3D or 2D mode based  
on the HDMI vendor-specific InfoFrame data. This is the default setting.  
• Choose Off to watch all content, including that mastered in 3D, in 2D.  
• Choose Side-by-Side to have the  
projector scale the left and right image  
halves respectively to fill the screen.  
Side-by-Side multiplexing is used with  
1080i source material.  
• Choose Top-and-Bottom to have the  
projector scale the top and bottom image  
halves respectively to fill the screen.  
Top-and-Bottom multiplexing is used with  
720p or 1080p source material.  
• Enable DLP Link: Set Enable DLP Link to On if you wish to use DLP Link 3D glasses  
with this projector. The default setting is Off.  
In order to use this feature, you must set the 1080p24 Output  
setting (see below) to 96Hz.  
Note  
• L-R Swap: Choose L-R Swap from the 3D Control menu and set it to Reverse to  
reverse the left- and right-eye image components, for content that was mastered  
backwards.  
• Dark Time: This control adjusts the amount of dark time between displayed frames for  
3D content. Higher settings provide more time for shutters in the 3D glasses to open  
and close, ensuring that each eye sees the full image intended for it. The available  
settings are 1.0, 1.5, 2 or 2.5 milliseconds. The default setting is 1.0 ms.  
When 1080p24 Output (see below) is set to 144Hz, the available  
Dark Time settings are 1.0 or 1.5ms.  
Note  
Sync Delay: This control adjusts the output 3D emitter delay to match the active  
glasses to the left/right frames of the projector. Proper adjustment of this delay will  
eliminate crosstalk and odd colors caused by timing differences between the glasses  
and the projected image.  
Use the system keypad on the projector to adjust this setting, so as  
not to disrupt communication between the Active 3D Emitter and  
the 3D glasses.

• 1080p24 Output: This control selects how 24Hz 3D content will be processed in an  
active 3D system. This lower frame rate can lead to excessive flickering, creating a  
need for frame rate conversion (FRC). Choose one of the following:  
96Hz employs a 2:2 cadence.  
144Hz uses a 3:3 cadence.  
Due to bandwidth restrictions, the 144Hz mode only provides 1004  
lines. The unused lines are set to black and evenly subtracted from  
the top and bottom of the image.  
Note  
• 3D Test Pattern: Choose 3D Test Pattern from the 3D Control menu and set it to On  
to display the 3D test pattern (refer to Test Patterns on page 72) while adjusting these  
settings.  
Input Select: To select a video source, press

Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the  
one shown in Figure 4-6.  
Figure 4-6. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast  
Select Contrast from the Main menu. Use the  
or  
buttons to adjust the contrast up  
until the top two bars become almost the same brightness, then down just until the  
brightness change between these bars is consistent with the other bars.  
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.  
Note  
Color: To adjust the overall color intensity, select Color from the Main menu. Decrease  
this setting if colors are overly saturated; increase it if colors appear muted or washed out.  
Tint: Tint or “hue” is the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. To adjust  
the tint, select Tint from the Main menu. Decrease this setting to shift the hue toward red;  
increase it to shift the hue toward green.  
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.

Figure 4-8. X-200i Advanced Image Menu  
Color Space: Select Color Space from the Advanced Image 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 X-200i uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the  
X-200i 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 X-200i 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 X-200i 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 X-200i 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.

Operation  
Gamma: Select Gamma from the Advanced Image menu to choose a DLP de-gamma  
curve. The available settings are 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.35 and 2.5. The value chosen here  
corresponds to the power variable in this equation:  
Output = InputPower  
The X-200i applies this gamma curve to all three primary color channels (red, green and  
blue). Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good  
details for blacks and whites.  
If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see  
details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast  
while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and  
unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.  
Color Temperature: Color temperature defines the “color of gray;” that is, adjusts the  
75% white point to various color points.  
To choose a color temperature setting, select Color Temperature from the Advanced  
Image menu. Then, press or to select 5500K, 6500K, 7500K or 9300K. The default  
setting, 6500K, is appropriate for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer”  
picture; lower ones impart a reddish hue to the image. Select Native to disable white  
point adjustment of the source signal.  
The Color Temperature setting is unavailable when you choose the  
“PCE” Color Gamut setting (refer to Color Gamut, below).  
Note  
DLP Frame Rate (2D content only): Select DLP Frame Rate from the Advanced Image  
menu to choose the output frame rate for 2D content. You can have the X-200i  
automatically determine the optimum frame rate, or you can force it to use a specific  
frame rate. (This control is disabled when viewing 3D content.)  
• The default setting, Auto, frame locks to the main source if it has a vertical refresh rate  
of between 48 and 62Hz. Vertical refresh rates of from 24 to 31Hz are doubled. Frame  
rates between 31 and 48Hz and greater than 62Hz are converted to 60Hz.  
• Select 48Hz to force the output frame rate to 48Hz. Use this setting to eliminate 2:3  
pull-down judder with 60Hz film-based sources.  
50Hz and 60Hz force the output frame rate to 50Hz and 60Hz respectively.  
Color Gamut: Select Color Gamut from the Advanced Image menu to select a color  
gamut (range) that may be different from the default color gamut.  
Each setting defines the precise hue of each primary (red, green and blue) and secondary  
(yellow, cyan and magenta) color component used to generate the millions of colors  
produced in displays. Changing either or both of these numbers changes the hue of the  
color and relocates the “triangle” for possible colors. For example, changing the x/y  
coordinates for red moves the color closer to either orange or violet, which in turn affects  
all displayed colors having a red component.  
Auto automatically chooses the appropriate color gamut:  
SMPTE C for NTSC, 480i and 480p sources.  
EBU for PAL, SECAM, 576i and 576p sources.  
REC709 for all other sources.

Operation  
RGB Adjust: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image,  
choose RGB Adjust from the Advanced Image menu and press ENTER. This displays the  
RGB Adjust sub-menu, shown at right.  
• Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the  
image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white  
areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red,  
green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.  
• Offset: Use the Offset controls in the RGB Adjust sub-menu to correct color  
imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test  
pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the  
gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.  
The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the Offset controls  
shift the entire range, resulting in a change in brightness.  
Generally, higher Gain settings reduce the image contrast; higher  
Offset settings reduce the image brightness.  
Note  
Fine Sync: To fine-tune the position and other image attributes, choose Fine Sync from  
the Advanced Image menu and press ENTER. This displays the Fine Sync sub-menu,  
shown at right.  
• V Position: This control adjusts the vertical position of the image within the designated  
image area, up to 25 per cent of the image height up or down.  
• H Position: This control adjusts the horizontal position of the image within the  
designated image area, up to 25 per cent of the image width left or right.  
• Phase (RGB or Component sources): This control adjusts the phase of the pixel  
sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB or  
Component image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been optimized.  
Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below). If some  
Tip  
shimmer from a video or HDTV source persists, use the Noise  
Reduction controls (described on page 62) to remove  
high-frequency noise from the signal.  
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear  
pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the  
slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that  
you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such cases.  
• Tracking (RGB or Component sources): Tracking determines the frequency of the  
pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all  
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.

Operation  
Sync Level (Component sources only): Select Sync Level to adjust the voltage level  
of the X-200i Sync signal detection circuitry.  
Sync Level 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. If the Sync  
Level from the source is persistently too low, the projector won’t sync with the source  
at all.  
The range is from 50 to 256 millivolts (mV) inclusive. The default setting is 240 mV and  
should rarely require adjustment.  
PCE: To use the Personal Color Equalizer to define a custom color gamut, choose the  
“PCE” Color Gamut setting (refer to Color Gamut on page 64). Then, choose PCE from  
the Advanced Image menu and press ENTER. This displays the PCE sub-menu.  
Hue/Saturation/Level: PCE provides the ability to define a custom color gamut in terms  
of primary (red, green and blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta) color hues,  
saturation and level (brightness).  
Each control operates only on the color specified. Surrounding colors are linearly  
interpolated based on their distance from each of these colors. In the CIE 1931 Yxy  
coordinate system (see Figure 4-9), Hue rotates the color coordinates around the white  
point, Saturation adjusts the coordinate's distance from white and Level adjusts the  
luminance (Y) of the color relative to white.

Operation  
Charging the Battery  
The glasses must be fully charged before first use and whenever the Battery Status LED  
flashes red once every couple of seconds. The glasses will charge a completely dead  
battery in approximately five hours. You may use the glasses while the battery is being  
charged.  
To charge the 3D Glasses:  
1. Attach one end of the supplied charging cable to the Power Input above the left lens  
on the glasses.  
2. Attach the other end of the cable to any USB “A” port on a USB hub, personal  
computer or display device. The Battery Status LED lights solid red while the battery is  
charging.  
When attached to a computer, the Runco Active 3D Glasses use  
the computer only to receive power; the glasses do not appear as a  
device visible to Windows or any other operating system.  
Note  
3. When the Battery Status LED lights solid blue, the battery is fully charged. You can  
disconnect the glasses from the power source.  
The battery in the 3D glasses is designed to operate approximately 15 hours on a full  
charge. The glasses consume more power as needed to maximize reliability. As a result,  
battery life is a function of many factors, including how much interference from 2.4-GHz  
devices like wireless routers must be compensated. Under worst-case conditions,  
fully-charged glasses should operate flawlessly for a minumum of about 12 hours.

Turning On the Glasses  
2. Press and hold the Power Button for about two seconds, then release the button. The  
LED then blinks in a pattern that indicates the battery charge state. In general, the  
more slowly and less frequently the LED blinks, the more charged (and less in need of  
charge) the glasses are. Refer to Table 4-3.  
Table 4-3. Battery Charge State Indications

Six (6) blue blinks  
Nine (9) blue blinks  
Red blink  
Battery is 50% charged; approximately 4 hours remaining.  
Battery is 30% or more charged; approximately 2 hours remaining.  
Battery charge is 10% or less; glasses must be charged before  
further use.  
3. The glasses will sync with the emitter and the 3D content will be visible through the  
glasses.  
4. Repeat Step 2 for each pair of glasses you wish to sync to the emitter.  
If the glasses do not detect an emitter, the LED blinks on and off once per second for five  
minute. Then, to preserve battery life, the glasses automatically turn off. If the emitter is  
activated (the emitter is only active when the projector is in 3D mode) before the  
five-minute period ends, the glasses stop blinking and remain on.  
Auto Power-Off  
If the glasses automatically turn off, press the Power button to turn them back on.

6. External Control  
In addition to using the X-200i keypad or remote control unit, there are three methods of  
controlling the projector 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 X-200i and an automation/control  
system or a PC running terminal emulation software.  
6.1  
Serial Communications  
To interface the X-200i with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running  
terminal emulation software:  
RS-232 Connection and  
Port Configuration  
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-14.  
2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as  
HyperTerminal.  
3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data  
bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control.  
4. Type ky or op followed by a command from among those listed in Table 6-1 or  
Table 6-2 and press <Enter>. For example, to change the aspect ratio to Letterbox,  
type op aspect = 1<Enter>.  
Serial commands to the X-200i take the following form:  
• Commands are in ASCII format.  
Command Format  
• Spaces and tabs can be used to improve readability and are ignored by the projector.  
• All commands must end with a carriage return (ASCII hex 0D) to signify that the  
projector can now read and execute the command.  
• Commands are not case-sensitive.  
The X-200i supports two types of commands: key commands and operation commands.  
Key commands mimic pressing a button on the remote control. Operation commands tell  
the projector exactly what to do.  
All commands start with 2 letters:  
kyfor key commands.  
opfor operations commands.

Key Commands: The syntax for key commands is simple:  
ky <keyname>[CR]  
Some key command examples:  
ky menu[CR]  
Bring up or cancel menu display.  
Up arrow.  
ky cur.up[CR]  
The response from the projector for key commands is ACK:followed by the same  
command in UPPERCASE.  
Input: ky menu[CR]  
Response: ACK:MENU [CR]

Operations Commands: Operations commands allow more flexible and direct control of  
the projector. The syntax for operations commands is as follows:  
op <operation> <command>[CR]  
(Precede <operation>and <command> with a space.)  
The command type can be one of three functions:  
Operations Control Commands  
Function  
Set  
Command  
Action on unit  
Makes the unit take that value.  
Asks what the current value is.  
Performs an action such as a reset.  
= <value>  
?
Get  
(none)  
Execute  
Table 6-2 lists the valid operations commands. For Set and Get functions, the response  
from the projector is ACK:followed by the command and = <value>where <value>is  
the current value or ERR:NAif the value is not available. For Execute functions the  
response is ACK:followed by the command. All responses are in UPPERCASE.  
Some operations command examples:  
Input: op bright ? [CR]  
Response: ACK:BRIGHT = 100 [CR]  
Input: op bright = 127 [CR]  
Response: ACK:BRIGHT = 127 [CR]  
Input: op resync [CR]  
Response: ACK:RESYNC [CR]  
Input: op input = 0 [CR]

Response: ACK:INPUT = 0 [CR]  
Input: op phase = 50 [CR]  
Response: ERR:NA [CR]  
Input: op phase ? [CR]  
Response: ERR:NA [CR]  
The last three commands show what happens when a control is unavailable. In this case,  
the source was set to “HDMI 1” (value = 0) and then the phase slider was attempted to be  
adjusted and queried. The response was “NA” or not available.

External Control  
The X-200i accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the NEC protocol.  
Each X-200i remote control button has an NEC control code associated with it.  
6.2  
Using Discrete IR  
Codes  
As shown in Table 6-1, there are two complete sets of remote codes (designated “Set 1”  
and “Set 2”). Through the on-screen menu, the projector can be configured to use either  
set. The reason for two sets is to allow control of more than one product in the same  
room without interference. The remote control can also be configured to use either code  
set (refer to Infrared Remote on page 71).  
You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work  
with the X-200i. 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.  
IR Command Protocol  
The IR control codes have the following characteristics:  
• Each code consists of the following:  
• A leader pulse (a modulated pulse of 9 ms followed by a non-modulated pulse of  
4.5 ms);  
• 16 address bits - 0x06 0xF9 (binary 00000110 11111001);  
• 16 data bits: eight (8) bits for the command followed by the logical inverse of the  
command; and  
• An end pulse (a modulated pulse of 0.56 ms, similar to the modulated pulse in the  
‘0’ and ‘1’ bits).The end of the modulated pulse constitutes the end of the data  
transmission.  
• The carrier frequency is 38 kHz, with the modulated pulses having a 33% duty cycle.  
• Commands are sent at a maximum rate of 9 Hz.  
For example, here is the NEC control code for the ON (  
) button on the X-200i remote  
control unit (using Code Set 1):

External Control  
The X-200i 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 X-200i can  
perform the following actions:  
6.3  
Using HDMI CEC  
Messages  
• Turn itself 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  
X-200i.  
• Turn the source component off when the X-200i 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 X-200i.  
Set the HDMI CEC option to On (refer to HDMI CEC on page 71). Additional steps may  
be needed to enable CEC at the source. Refer to the documentation for your source  
device for more information.  
Table 6-4 lists the CEC commands supported by the X-200i.
