RS-232 Controller 
Connection
Use a standard, 9-pin RS-232 cable to connect a PC or home theater control/automation 
system (if present) to the RS-232 Control port on the DHD Controller; see 
Figure 3-12. 
For more information about using this connection, refer to Serial Communications on 
page 61.

If your VX-4000d/VX-5000d is equipped with a CineWide with AutoScope system, or if 
your home theater contains other devices that respond to 12-volt triggers (such as 
retractable screens or screen masks), connect them to the 12-volt trigger outputs as 
shown in 
Figure 3-13.

Connecting to AC PowerThe VX-4000d/VX-5000d system includes two (2) AC power cords (one each for the 
projector and DHD Controller).
Plug the female end of one power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the 
VX-4000d/VX-5000d (AC 100V ~ 240V). Then, connect the other end to your AC power 
source. Similarly connect the DHD Controller to a nearby AC outlet.

Adjusting the Picture 
Orientation
By default, the VX-4000d/VX-5000d is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which 
the projector is installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the 
screen and/or mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this:
1. Press MENU (on menu page 4) and enter the Service Menu passcode. 
2. Select Service from the Main Menu. 
3. Select Display Device from the Service Menu, then select Configure.
4. Press , then choose Floor/Rear, Ceiling/Front or Ceiling/Rear, to match the 
installation method. 
4.3 
Selecting the Input 
Source
By default, the VX-4000d/VX-5000d is configured to display the signal received on its 
RGBHV input. To use the DVI input instead:
1. Press MENU (on menu page 4) and enter the Service Menu passcode, if the Service 
Menu is not already visible.
2. Select Service from the Main Menu.
3. Select Display Device from the Service Menu, then select Configure.
4. Input 1 is the RGBHV input. Press  to select projector input 2 (DVI).

Lens Adjustments
Lens zoom and focus are motorized adjustments that are adjustable from the remote 
control. This allows you to adjust the focus and image size while at the screen for more 
accurate results. The remote control has over 100 feet of range to the projector for long 
throw distances. 
The IR receiver for the lens motor assembly is 
located on the projector behind the front Runco 
logo cover. Rotate the logo cover 90 degrees as 
shown to reveal the IR receiver opening. 
Focus1. With the IR receiver revealed on the front of the projector, go to the zoom/focus page 
(5/7) of the remote control.
2. Point the remote directly at the projector for maximum range.
3. To focus the projected image, press and hold the FOCUS + or FOCUS - button. 
ZoomTo make the picture smaller (zoom out), press and hold the ZOOM - button. To enlarge 
the picture (zoom in), press and hold the ZOOM + button.
Vertical and Horizontal 
Lens 
Shift
To change the projected image position, use a 3/16” hex driver to shift the lens in the 
desired direction; see 
Figure 4-1. The vertical lens shift control is at the top of the 
projector; the horizontal lens shift control is on the side of the projector nearest the Runco 
logo. (The tool will automatically center on top of the adjustment nut when inserted into 
the access hole.)
