Weekly Command Timer: You can program the CinemaWall to perform a series of 
actions at specific times of the day and days of the week. To do this, you create 
command sequences or “programs” consisting of a series of up to 64 individual 
commands. You can create up to seven such programs and specify when they are 
executed.
For example, you can store the following command sequence as a program:
1. 8:00 - Power On
2. 8:01 - Select INPUT1A
3. 8:01 - Set Volume to 30
4. 8:15 - Enable Multi-PIP
5. 8:20 - Activate Screen Saver
6. 8:30 - Deactivate Screen Saver
7. 9:00 - Power Off
To configure the Weekly Command Timer, select it in the OPTIONS menu and press the 
ACTION () button.
Function: This is the “master switch” for the Weekly Command Timer feature. Set it to 
On to use this method to automate CinemaWall operation.  
Monday, Tuesday ... Sunday: For each day of the week, select a program 
(Program1
 ... Program7) that you want to use that day to control the CinemaWall. Or, 
select “---” for manual operation.
If you enable the Weekly Command Timer, you cannot use the SET 
UP TIMER, nor can you use the INTERVAL or TIME OF DAY screen 
saver modes.

Power On Screen Delay: In a large video wall installation, it may be advisable to turn the 
displays on one at a time rather than all at once, so as not to overload the power source. 
To make this easier, you can set the CinemaWall to wait up to 30 seconds after you press 
the POWER button to turn itself on. To do this, select 
Power On Screen Delay from the 
OPTIONS menu. Select from 1 to 30 seconds of delay. For example, in a 2x2 video wall 
you might set a 4-second delay on display “A1,” an 8-second delay on display “A2,” a 
12-second delay on display “A3” and no delay (Off) on display “A4.” 
Clock Display: To have the CinemaWall display the time of day (in addition to the current 
input and aspect ratio) when the RECALL button is pressed, select 
Clock Display from 
the OPTIONS menu and set it to On.  
All Aspect: This option controls which aspect ratio selections are available to the viewer. 
Set it to On to allow the viewer to select all of the aspect ratios described in 
Table 4-1. If 
the viewer does not need that level of aspect ratio control, set it to Off for the sake of 
simplicity. 
Rotate: If the CinemaWall is suspended from a ceiling, you may want to mount it upside 
down and run the cables upward (toward the ceiling) to make them less visible. If you do, 
select 
Rotate from the OPTIONS menu and set it to On to rotate the displayed image and 
OSD menus 180 degrees. 
Serial Slot Select: This menu option does not currently apply to the CinemaWall. 
4.9 
Using Digital Zoom
The CinemaWall allows you to zoom in on a 
portion of the displayed image. To use this 
feature: 
1. Press the MOVE/ZOOM () button. 
2. An on-screen guide appears. Press the 
ACTION (
) button to select a zoom level 
(x1, x2, x3 or x4).  
3. Press , ,  or  to select an area of the 
image to enlarge. The on-screen guide 
shows you the selected area as you do this.
4. To return to normal viewing mode, press RETURN () or MOVE/ZOOM (). 
During the delay period, the power indicator flashes green.
Until you set the day and time (refer to Setting the Day and Time 
on page 21), the Clock Display setting has no effect.

5.1 
Cleaning
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the CinemaWall. Before cleaning, 
be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Cleaning the Display 
Panel Body and Remote 
Control
Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the 
CinemaWall. Doing so may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the display or 
remote control unit.
Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft cloth. In the case of excessive dirt 
buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent and after wringing 
the cloth thoroughly, wipe the component and then dry it with a dry soft cloth.
Cleaning the ScreenAfter dusting, wipe the screen gently using a soft cloth (cotton, flannel etc.). Do not use 
tissue or a rough cloth. The screen surface is easily scratched; do not rub it or hit it with a 
hard object.
If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may 
enter into the product and cause a malfunction.
Cleaning the VentsAs a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a month to clean the vents on the 
rear panel of the display of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest setting 
when doing this). If not removed, accumulated dust can cause the internal temperature to 
increase, resulting in possible breakdown or fire.

Troubleshooting Tips
Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may 
encounter with the CinemaWall. If the suggested solutions fail to resolve the problem or if 
you encounter an issue not described here, please contact your Runco dealer or Runco 
Technical Support. 
 
Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart 
SymptomPossible Cause(s)Solution
The display does not turn on 
after initial installation.  The CinemaWall is not 
plugged in or the AC outlet 
is not active. 
 

batteries have run out. 
 Ensure that the 
CinemaWall is plugged in 
and that the AC outlet is 
active. 
 Replace the batteries. 
The display is on and menus 
appear, but there is no 
picture.  Incorrect source selection. 
 Source component is not 
turned on. 
 Source component is 
connected incorrectly or 
not at all. 
 Select the correct source. 
 Turn on the source 
component. 
 Check connections from 
source component to 
CinemaWall. 
Image is too bright and/or 
lacks definition in the bright 
areas of the image.  Picture level (contrast) is 
set too high.  Lower the contrast setting 
(refer to 
page 31).
Image appears “washed out” 
and/or dark areas appear too 
bright.  Brightness is set too high.  Lower the brightness 
setting (refer to 
page 32). 
Colors in the image are 
swapped; for example, reds 
appear blue or vice versa.  The Red/Pr, Green/Y or 
Blue/Pb outputs from the 
source are connected to 
the wrong inputs on the 
CinemaWall.  Ensure that the source 
outputs are connected to 
the correct CinemaWall 
input. 
RGB-HD images appear 
“noisy.” Clock and Phase settings 
need adjustment.  Adjust Clock and Phase 
settings (refer to 
SIGNAL 
on page 38).
Computer images do not dis-
play correctly. 
 The resolution and 
frequency of the video 
card in the computer are 
not compatible with the 
CinemaWall. Select a compatible 
resolution and vertical 
frequency (refer to 
Supported Timings on 
page 62). 
The image is too large, too 
small or positioned incor
-
rectly.
 Image size and/or position 
needs adjusting.  Adjust the image size 
and/or position (refer to 
POS./SIZE on page 35).

RS-232 Connection 
and Port Configuration
To interface the CinemaWall with a home theater automation/control system or a PC 
running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in 
Figure 3-5. Use a straight-through cable. 
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 
 9600 baud
 No parity
 Eight (8) data bits
 One (1) stop bit
 No flow control
6.2 
Serial Command 
Syntax
Serial commands to the CinemaWall take the following form:
 You can send commands in either hexadecimal or ASCII format. 
 ASCII commands are case-sensitive and must be in UPPERCASE. 
 Commands begin with the “Start of Text” (STX) character (02h or  B in ASCII), 
followed by the command data, the colon character (3Ah or : in ASCII), command 
parameter (1
 to 6 bytes; refer to Table 6-1) and the “End of Text” (ETX) character (03h 
or  C in ASCII). Not all commands require parameters to be sent with them; 
examples of such commands are PON (power on), POF (power off) and IMS (toggle 
input selection). 
 You do not need to send a carriage return after the command. 
 When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for a response to the first command 
to come from the CinemaWall before sending the next command.
 When you send a valid command, the CinemaWall executes it and echoes the 
command (without the parameter) back to the controller.
 If you send an invalid command, the CinemaWall sends ER401 back to the controller.
ExamplesTo select the PC input, send the following sequence:  
To set the Picture Level (contrast) to its highest possible level (+30), send the following 
sequence:
