User’s Manual  
1. Overview  
Features  
High Contrast and Picture Quality  
This single-DMD DLPTM projector provides excellent contrast ratio, color uniformity and seamlesss picture quality.  
Fantastic Dynamic Performance and Rich Gray-scale  
With a 6-segment color wheel, the picture's refresh rate can attain speeds of up to 240 Hz. By doing this, this unit  
provides fantastic dynamic performance and rich gray-scale without the 'color-flicker' or 'rainbowing' associated with  
other single-DMD DLPTM projectors.  
Sealed Optical Engine with a High-Quality Lens Design  
The optical engine uses a high-quality lens for maximizing optical performance. The sealed optical engine prevents  
light leakage and any dust from entering the engine, which could cause annoying 'spots' in the image.  
Low Noise Operation  
The projector's unique cooling system design prevents annoying fan noise, and is rated at less than 30 dB.  
Wide Variety of Inputs  
This unit can support various video formats, including Composite, S-Video, Component, DTV Y/PB/PR, DTV RGB  
and Computer signals. The HDTV input (DTV Y/PB/PR and DTV RGB) is input through RGB BNC port, providing the  
least amount of signal degradation caused by longer cable runs.  
HDTV Ready  
480i, 480P, 1080i and 720P (576I and 576P PAL Version) formats are all compatible with this unit  
(via an external DTV decoder, not provided).  
De-interlacing with 3:2 Pull-down  
Using Runco's proprietary De-interlacing technology, this projector provides exceptional scaling and film to video  
(3:2 pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible.  
PIP function  
Picture in picture functions allow you to display two inputs on the screen at the same time.  
Video Memory  
This projector allows the user to store up to three different settings in the video memories.
