VX-6000d Remote 
Control Units
The VX-6000d 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-6000d installation 
and setup. After the projector has been installed, either remote control unit can be used; 
both provide similar functionality.

non-Runco home theater components. (For detailed programming instructions, refer to 
the manual provided with the remote control.)
