subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.
 
This  Limited  Warranty  only  covers  failure  due  to  defects  in  materials  and  workmanship  that  occur  during

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.

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

Introduction
W ith the Reflection CL-410, Runco brings its famous video performance to a new 
level of affordability, putting Runco quality within reach of many aspiring home theater 
aficionados. 
By combining a highly efficient optical light engine with broad installation and integration 
options, the CL-410 establishes the perfect balance between performance and 
affordability. 
Runco has implemented a host of advancements into the projector’s light engine to 
take full advantage of its widescreen, high definition DMD™ chip. The CL-410 features 
Enhanced GEN 3™ technology to produce deeper blacks, greater contrast ratio and

color-balancing system that results in the industry’s best gray scale tracking, and far 
surpasses the capabilities of CRT projectors. Accurate gray scale reproduction is vital 
to vibrant, true-to-life color reproduction, as well as superior black level and white level 
performance. Runco’s acclaimed Vivix™ video processing and scaling assure pristine 
video imagery, while the CL-410’s generous light output capability is powerful enough 
to handle screens as large as 96 inches wide with ease. 
The CL-410 features a 16:9 aspect ratio resolution of 1024 x 576, and provides a 
DVI input for pure digital video signal transmission. In addition, the projector’s broad 
lens shift capability, variable throw distance, and electronic horizontal and vertical 
keystone correction allow for flexible placement within virtually any theater environment. 
Also featured is discrete IR control making it simple to partner the CL-410 with other 
audio/video components and automated control systems for a truly high-end, home 
theater system.
