VX-4000d/VX-5000d 
Remote Control Units
The VX-4000d/VX-5000d ships with two remote control units:
 A standard Runco DHD Controller remote control unit; and
 A universal, touch-screen remote control unit that can be used with other home theater 
equipment. 
Only the touch-screen remote control can be used to perform zoom and focus 
adjustments. For this reason, you must use it to complete the initial VX-4000d/VX-5000d 
installation and setup. After the projector has been installed, either remote control unit can 
be used; both provide similar functionality.

Touch-Screen RemoteThe touch-screen remote control unit furnished with the VX-4000d/VX-5000d provides 
basically the same functionality as the standard Runco DHD remote. In addition, it gives 
you access to the motorized lens controls (focus and zoom) and can be programmed to 
control other, non-Runco home theater components. (For detailed programming 
instructions, refer to the manual provided with the remote control.) 
Figure 2-7 shows the touch-screen remote control, and the paragraphs that follow 
describe its functionality.
