DIGITALINPUTS:
• DVI 1 / DVI 2
These are High Definition Digital inputs. Runco recommends using these digital inputs whenever possible. Using
the DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain
throughout the entire signal path, from source component output, through the DHD and finally into the projector.
This maintains maximum signal purity.
Use these inputs to connect Digital High Definition sources that have a DVI output, such as HD tuners...

While each of the picture quality adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a 
proper way to set the adjustments.  For setting TINT and COLOR, please refer to the color bar test
pattern below.
TINT(also known as hue) is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.
