6. Select the Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t 
already. To do this, press CINEMA on the Dimension Digital Controller remote control 
(Figure 2-7), or press   or  repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen. 
Adjusting the Lens Position: 
1. Adjust the vertical position and tilt of the lens so that the projector beam is passing 
through the center of the lens and any residual pincushion distortion is about the 
same at the top and bottom of the image. This typically results in the anamorphic lens 
being below the center of the primary lens and tilted slightly downward. 
2. Tighten the knobs.
3. Adjust the rotation of the Lens Transport Assembly so that the left and right sides of 
the image are an equal distance from their respective screen borders. 
4. Tighten the Pivot Screw and the four mounting screws holding the transport to the 
Attachment Plate.
5. For optimum multiple aspect ratio performance, adjust the projector’s zoom so that a 
1.85:1 aspect ratio movie is just masked by the top and bottom of the screen border 
when the anamorphic lens is not in front of the primary lens. This way 1.85:1, 16:9 
and 2.35-2.4:1 aspect ratio movies are all presented to fill the screen at a constant 
height.
6. Remove the protective film from the 
front of the anamorphic lens. There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is 
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.

Aspect RatioTo 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 Table 4-1. 
The currently-selected aspect ratio is indicated by a “
7” to its left; in this example, 16:9 is 
selected. 
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 
with some distortion or cropping).

Letterbox LET
BOXLetterbox mode scales (zooms 
in on) a 4:3 image linearly (by the 
same amount on all sides) to fill 
a 16:9 display. 
Letterbox is best suited for 
viewing LaserDisc movies or 
non-anamorphic DVDs on a 
16:9 screen.
VirtualWide V-WIDE VirtualWide scales a 4:3 image 
NON-linearly (more on the sides 
than in the center) to fit a 16:9 
screen. 
On a 2.35:1 screen, the image is 
centered between black bars on 
either side. 
Cinema CINEMA Select Cinema to view 2.35 
source material in its native 
aspect ratio.
With a 16:9 screen and a 
standard LS-12HBd (without an 
anamorphic lens), the upper and 
lower portions of the screen are 
masked, but the geometry of the 
active image area is unchanged.
With a 2.35:1 screen and an 
anamorphic lens, the Dimension 
Digital Controller scales the 
2.35:1 image so that the active 
image area fills the 16:9 chip 
surface, eliminating the black 
bars. The secondary, 
anamorphic lens then restores 
the proper geometry to the 
2.35:1 image.

Picture Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate each Dimension Digital Controller input to 
achieve optimum picture quality.
The Dimension Digital 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 
Dimension Digital 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 
(Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent) for best 
results.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as 
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

Tint
Sharpness
Noise Filter
When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a 
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a 
different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for 
each input and display mode separately.) For information about 
saving settings, refer to Memory Presets on page 70. Note

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 Picture 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).
