Connecting to AC PowerProjector: The RS-1100 ships 
with various types of AC power 
cords. Choose the one that is 
appropriate to your locale. 
Plug the female end of the power 
cord into the AC receptacle on the 
rear of the projector (AC 100V ~ 
240V). Then, connect the other end 
to your AC power source. 
AutoScope Lens Motor: With AutoScope-equipped projectors, an additional power 
cord is provided for the lens motor. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC 
input on the rear of the lens motor assembly. Connect the other end to a 110
 VAC power 
source. 
3.7 
Turning on the Power
1. Turn on your source components. 
2. If this is an AutoScope-equipped projector, turn on the main power switch at the rear 
of the AutoScope lens motor. The lens motor power switch is located next to the AC 
input (see above). 
3. Turn on the main power switch at the rear of the projector. The POWER LED lights 
orange. The LAMP and TEMP LEDs light red briefly, then go out. 
4. Press the ON button on the remote control to turn on the RS-1100. The POWER LED 
flashes orange to indicate that it is warming up. 
5. When the projector is ready for use, the POWER LED lights green. 
6. “Searching...” appears on the screen before the RS-1100 identifies the input signal 
and remains there until a valid signal is detected. 
7. 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. 
The input voltage to the AutoScope lens motor must be between 
100 and 120 VAC. Do not connect the AutoScope lens motor 
to a 200-240
 VAC power source!

Installing and 
Adjusting the 
CineWide Anamorphic 
Lens
If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and 
adjust the anamorphic lens. 
The standard RS-1100/CineWide uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens. This type of 
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 RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide and RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope use a 
cylindrical anamorphic lens with a much larger aperture than the prismatic lens used with 
the standard RS-1100/CineWide. 
If you are installing a standard RS-1100/CineWide or RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide, refer to 
Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment - Standard RS-1100/CineWide or 
RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide on page 38. If you are installing an RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide 
with AutoScope, continue with the next section.

It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly 
adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that 
the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the

Attaching Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate: 
1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers and 1/4-20 Fiber Washers from the 
bottom of the lens mounting assembly.
2. Place the Lens Mounting Assembly on top of the Lens Motor Carriage Plate. Position 
the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of the bracket is perpendicular to the 
corresponding slots on the carriage plate.
3. Secure the Lens Mounting Assembly to the plate with the Yaw/X Adjustment Levers 
and Washers that you removed in Step 1. 
4. Attach the Lens Adapter Ring to the Pitch Adjustment Yoke using the three Lens 
Rotation Set Screws; see 
Figure 3-17. Then, attach the lens to the Lens Adapter Ring 
by threading it clockwise.

Configure Lens Motor Trigger: 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 RS-1100 Ultra for proper AutoScope operation: 
1. Press MENU on the remote control.
2. Select Service from the Main menu and press ENTER. 
3. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the Service menu passcode when 
prompted and press ENTER again. Then, press MENU on the remote control. 
4. Select Screen Trigger Mode from the Service menu. 
5. Set the Screen Trigger Mode to “AutoScope.” This enables the lens motor to move 
the anamorphic lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when the Cinema or 
Virtual Cinema aspect ratio is selected. 
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 VCINE on the RS-1100 
remote control (
Figure 2-4). 
Adjusting the Horizontal (X) Lens Position: 
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: 
 
4. When the horizontal position is properly set, tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place.
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:

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: 
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. 
Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely 
from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion: 
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.

Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place. 
Geometry: 
1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the projector.
2. Loosen the three Lens Rotation Set Screws (shown in Figure 3-17) on the lens 
adapter plate just enough to allow it to rotate freely.
3. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly 
anamorphic: 
4. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the three Lens 
Rotation Set Screws 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.)
