Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual 19 PREL IMINARY 3.1 Remote Control Battery InstallationTo install batteries in the remote control: 1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control. 2. Insert the batteries included with the remote control. Ensure that the polarities correctly match the and markings inside the battery compartment. 3. Replace the battery cover. With the touch-screen remote: After a few seconds, the remote starts up automatically and an Introduction screen appears. The remote control beeps twice to indicate that it has started up successfully. Notes on Remote Control Operation The remote control can be used to control the VX-6000d within the ranges shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. Available Range of the Remote Control 3. Installation 1. Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries. 2. If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage.

Installation 20 Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature. The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the DHD Controller away from the fluorescent lamp. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the DHD Controller or projector. If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the DHD Controller or projector and repeat the operation. The signal from the remote control can be reflected by walls or other surfaces. Note

Installation 22 Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation TypeChoose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. Ambient LightIn general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant. ➤ Table 3-2.

Installation Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual 23 PREL IMINARY Throw DistanceThrow distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen. Figure 3-2. Estimating Throw Distance Table 3-3 lists the available lens options for the VX-6000d and their associated throw ratios. Table 3-3.

Throw distance does not affect image quality, provided these ranges are taken into account. 2. Only the Telesto C, D and E lenses can be used with the optional CineWide (secondary anamorphic) lens. Doing so affects the throw distances as shown here. Estimating Throw Distance Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio Screen width (w) TD
Installation 24 Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Vertical and Horizontal Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3. Projector Placement Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-3, you can use the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5. Figure 3-4. Vertical Lens Shift (Example Only) ➤ Height Projection DistanceCeiling Ceiling Installation Screen Height Floor Lens Center Projection Distance Floor Installation Lens Center x Lens Center x ScreenLens Center ➤ Base plate to lens center = approx. 5-6 (depending on the amount of lens shift) 50% Height Lens Shift (0.5 x H) 100% Height Lens Shift (1.0 x H) 150% Height Lens Shift (1.5 x H) Screen Center0% Note: This is a general example of lens shift.

Horizontal shift limits are percentages of the screen width. 3. Vertical lens shift figures are for ceiling mount configurations. For floor installations (where the projector is upright), reverse the up/down vertical lens shift percentages.
Installation Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual 27 PREL IMINARY Folded OpticsIn rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-6. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance. Figure 3-6. Folded Optics Other ConsiderationsOther considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance. Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators. 3.4 Installing the Optional CineWide Lens Mount If you are installing a VX-6000d with the optional CineWide or CineWide with AutoScope system, proceed as follows to install the anamorphic lens mounting assembly (stationary base plate or AutoScope lens motor). Remove Projector Front Feet (CineWide with AutoScope) (Skip this step if you are installing a fixed CineWide anamorphic lens.) Place the projector upside down on a blanket or other soft surface. Loosen and remove the two front feet on the projector. Install Anamorphic Lens Motor (CineWide with AutoScope) or Base Plate (fixed CineWide) Screen Mirror 1. Do not install the CineWide lens yet, only the mounting plate or lens motor. You will install the CineWide lens after you install the projector and adjust the primary lens. 2. Some of the following steps are necessary only for CineWide with AutoScope installations. Note The anamorphic lens mounting kit is partially pre-assembled at the factory – the AutoScope lens motor and lens mounting assemblies are both fully assembled. Note
Installation 28 Runco VX-6000d Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY CineWide with AutoScope: Line up the eight mounting holes on the lens motor housing with those on the bottom of the projector. Secure the motor to the projector with the eight screws provided for this purpose. Fixed CineWide: Line up the mounting holes on the lens mount base plate with those on the bottom of the projector, directly below the primary lens. Secure the base plate to the projector with the screws provided for this purpose.
