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. 
Attach Lens Mounting 
Assembly to Lens Motor 
Carriage Plate
The VX-22d Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-16. 
Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in 
these instructions. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact your Runco dealer 
or Runco Customer Service at (800)
 23-RUNCO.

1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers (item #8) from the bottom of the 
Anamorphic Lens Holder (item #5).
2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate (item #7). 
Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of the lens holder is 
perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the carriage plate.
3. Secure the Anamorphic Lens Holder to the plate using the Hex Bolts/Washers 
(item
 #6) and Yaw/X Adjustment Levers that you removed in Step 1. 
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 
screen. Note

4. Use the Lens Mounting Screws to attach the Lens Adapter Ring (item #1) to the Pitch 
Adjustment Yoke (item #2); see 
Figure 3-17. (Use the round, threaded holes on the 
yoke.)
5. Use the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws (item #3), Pitch Adjustment T-Screws 
(item
 #4) and T-Nuts (item #9) to attach the Pitch Adjustment Yoke and Lens Adapter 
Ring to the Anamorphic Lens Holder. The Yoke should be as close to the primary 
lens as possible. 
6. 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 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 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 aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t 
already. To do this, press CINEMA on the DHD Controller remote control (
Figure 2-5), 
or press  or  repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen. 
Adjust the Anamorphic 
Lens
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 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 Levers 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 projector.
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.
