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 DHD Controller for proper AutoScope 
operation: 
 
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen. 
2. Press MENU on the DHD Controller remote control and enter the Service menu 
passcode.
3. Select Service from the Main menu.
4. Select Tr i g g e rs from the Service menu.
5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and 
Virtual Cinema aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic lens 
into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected. 
6. To save the trigger settings, press  repeatedly to highlight “Save.” Then, press 
ENTER. 
7. 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 SVC on the DHD Controller 
remote control (
Figure 2-6), or press  or  repeatedly with no menus visible 
on-screen. 
Adjust the Anamorphic 
Lens
Horizontal Position (X) Adjustment: 
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 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.
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. 
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.

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: 
 
 
 
 
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place. 
Adjusting the Geometry: 
1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the DHD Controller.
2. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens 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 Anamorphic 
Lens Set Screw (item #10) 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.) 
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic 
lens to fine-tune the optical focus.

Calibrating Projector 
Input 2 (DVI)
After you have installed and adjusted the projector and lens (or lenses), you are ready to 
begin calibrating the DVI input (Input 2) to the SC-1.
To perform the calibration, you will use the SC-1 built-in keypad (Figure 2-3) or 
TheaterMaster Remote Control, shown in Figure 3-29 and described on the pages that 
follow. Once you have completed the projector input calibration, the end user can use the 
DHD Controller Remote Control (
Figure 2-6) to adjust input image quality, change aspect 
ratios, switch between sources and more. (The exception to this rule is when sources are 
connected directly to the projector. Although this is technically possible, Runco advises 
against this.)
Runco calibrates both the SC-1 and DHD Controller at the factory 
for optimum performance in most typical home cinema 
environments, before the system ships. 
Carefully assess the displayed image quality before proceeding with 
calibration. In most cases, it is not necessary to calibrate the 
projector inputs, as the DHD Controller gives you as much control 
as you will need over the image quality.
Only ISF-certified installation technicians should attempt the 
calibration procedures described here, and ONLY if absolutely 
necessary to accommodate an atypical installation.

 Press  or  on the directional keypad to highlight the desired option, then press 
ENTER or . 
The corresponding function menu or pull-down list of further options will then appear. 
You navigate the function menus in a similar manner: enter a menu option number for any 
numbered option, or use the 
 and  keys to highlight the desired option, then press 
ENTER. Extra long menus have a scroll bar on the right; use the arrow keys to access the 
remainder of the menu. Locked items or items that do not pertain to the current action or 
condition appear dimmed and cannot be selected. 
When finished with a function menu, do one of the following: 
 Press EXIT to return to the previous screen.
 Press MENU to leave the menu system and return to the presentation.
To set up the SC-1 for use with the DHD Controller, you will use the Channel Setup, Size 
and Position, Image Settings and Lamp menus.
Channel Setup The projector stores and automatically recalls up to 50 different channels (source setups) 
for a variety of inputs. This memory feature allows you to define and conveniently use a 
wide variety of customized setups rather than having to repeatedly re-configure the 
projector for different presentations. Each projector input can have several different 
channels associated with it.

All available channels are listed in the Channel Setup menu (Figure 3-30), which describes 
how each channel can be accessed and which serves as the gateway for editing, copying 
and deleting channels. 
Figure 3-30. Channel Setup Menu
To display the Channel Setup menu, press 3 or highlight Channel Setup and press 
ENTER or 
. The Channel Setup menu appears with the active channel highlighted. 
What Appears in the Channel Setup Menu: This menu lists all channels defined so far 
and indicates where they are connected on the input panel. 
The far-left column lists channel numbers currently defined. If 
a channel has been assigned a name, that name appears in 
the far-right column; otherwise, the horizontal and vertical 
frequencies of the input signal appear here instead. Remaining 
columns contain details pertaining to each channel setup, 
such as its switcher number (always 0 = projector), slot location, a variety of icons 
indicating access to each channel, and an abbreviated description of each signal type. 
Signal Type Abbreviations: The Channel Setup menu identifies signal types in a 
shortened form. These descriptors indicate what signal information the projector uses to 
identify a match for a given channel, and are preceded by either an “i” (for interlaced 
signals) or “p” (for progressive signals). 
When used with the DHD Controller, the HDMI output signal is represented by either 
“pDig” or “iDig.”
Unlocking Channels: Channels are pre-configured at the Runco factory for use with the 
DHD Controller, and are locked to prevent the factory settings from being over-written 
accidentally. For 1080i and 1080p digital signals, there are separate channels for each 
aspect ratio and “ISF” memory preset (day and night). 
Before proceeding with calibration, unlock the currently-active channel so that any 
changes you make are stored in that channel.
