Runco also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental or consequential damages related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

1Runco VX-40d/-50d/-60d/-80d Owner’s Operating Manual Introduction The Runco VX-40d, VX-50d, VX-60d and VX-80d Video Xtreme™ projectors are professional 3-chip projectors based on next-generation Digital Light Processing™ (DLP™) technology by Texas Instruments™. These projectors are compatible with standard international video formats and can interface with IBM ®-compatible PC, Macintosh® computers and workstations. All models deliver high-brightness, high- resolution and high-quality images. Runco Video Xtreme™ projectors are an ideal choice for most exclusive home theaters. Key Features • Native SXGA+ resolution (1400 x 1050, fully scaleable) • 10-bit video processing • Built-in multi-standard video decoder • Replaceable Xenon lamp • Motorized lens mount • Auto-setup feature • Status LED display on built-in keypad for easy projector status monitoring • Control with IR or built-in keypad Refer to Section 6 for a complete list of specifications including brightness and contrast. How the Projector Works The projector accepts video input signals for projection onto front or rear flat screens. High-brightness light is generated by an internal Xenon lamp then modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels that provide digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the “on” pixels of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a single front lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image. The following listed items are shipped with your projector. Ensure you have received all these items before using your projector. • Owner’s Operating Manual (this document) • Programmable theater master remote (includes four, 1.5V AAA batteries) • Power cord • Warranty Card 1.1 Projector overview 1.2 Components SECTION 1
