3. Press the ON button on the remote control to turn on the CL-810. The POWER LED 
flashes orange to indicate that it is warming up. 
4. When the projector is ready for use, the POWER LED lights green. 
5. “Searching...” appears on the screen before the CL-810 identifies the input signal and 
remains there until a valid signal is detected. 
6. If an incompatible input signal exceeds the range of the projector, a “No signal 
supported message appears on the screen. This message remains on the screen 
until you change the input signal.

Main MenuThe Main Menu is the starting point for accessing all projector functions. 
(The Set Up and ISF Calibration menus are hidden and not accessible until you enter a 
passcode.)
The active source is indicated by an arrow (>) to its left; in the example at left, Video is the 
active source. To select a different source, use the 
 or  button to highlight it and press 
ENTER or . 
Picture Adjustment Use the controls in the Adjustment Menu to calibrate your CL-810 for optimum picture 
quality. To access the Adjustment menu, press MENU, highlight the active source and 
press ENTER or 
. 
To adjust a setting, use the  or  button to highlight it and press ENTER. Use the 
 or  button to change the setting. When finished, press EXIT.
The CL-810 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. Runco recommends calibrating the CL-810 inputs in the following order:
1. Component 1
2. RGB-HD / Component 2
3. S-Video
4. Composite
5. HDMI

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 -- Sencore VP401 Multimedia Video Generator, Ovation 
Multimedia 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.
Figure 4-2. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness
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 Adjustment menu and press ENTER. 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 Adjustment menu and press ENTER. Adjust the contrast to a 
point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase in size.
Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the 
one shown in 
Figure 4-4.

Select Color from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. While looking at the color bar 
pattern through a blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and 
blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue: 
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 Adjustment menu and press ENTER. 
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 Adjustment 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 
differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness 
setting to eliminate them. 
Figure 4-5. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness
Filter: The Filter setting controls the behavior of the Sharpness control. The available 
settings depend on the vertical resolution of the input signal, as follows: 
With a 480i signal, you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal (1), 
the output signal (2), both (3) or neither (0). 
With a 480p or higher-resolution signal, the sharpness control is applied only to the 
output signal and only when you set the Sharpness Filter to “on” (1). 
The Sharpness setting has no effect if the Sharpness Filter (see 
below) is set to 0. Note

Color Temperature: The CL-810 has six memory settings for Color Temperature. Four 
of these settings are factory set to default as follows: 
 0 -- Original lamp color temperature 
 1 -- 5400 kelvins 
 2 -- 6500 kelvins 
 3 -- 8500 kelvins 
4 -- Custom 
5 -- Custom 
Custom 4 and 5 memory are installer-adjustable and can be used to create custom 
settings. There are nine adjustable “white balance” parameters available for the Custom 4 
and 5 settings (three each for red, green and blue). These are described later in this 
section; refer to 
Set Up on page 42. 
ICC Selection: Use the ICC Selection menu to select the color space that is appropriate 
for the source signal, to achieve optimal color balance. 
If you select NTSC, HDTV or PAL, you can make further adjustments to individual color 
space characteristics in the ICC Adjust sub-menu under the ISF Calibration menu, 
described later in this section. (The Standard color space is factory-set and not 
adjustable.) 
Store Image Settings: Once the desired adjustments have been entered, select Store 
Image Settings to save these settings into the “Memory 1” memory location. 
Restore Image Settings: To recall stored custom image quality settings, select Restore 
Image Settings and choose “Memory 1,” “ISF Night” or “ISF Day.” 
Aspect Ratio To change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, select Aspect Ratio 
from the Main Menu and press ENTER. Select the appropriate aspect ratio for your 
screen size and the type of program material being viewed; refer to
