Install Ceiling Mount 
Extension Brackets 
(CineWide with 
AutoScope)
If you are installing an AutoScope-equipped VX-6000d, use the supplied hardware to 
attach the ceiling mount extension brackets to the bottom of the projector as shown in 
Figure 3-7. 
For ceiling installations, these brackets bring the mounting points for the projector 
mounting plate (included with the ceiling mount kit) from the bottom of the projector up 
and around the lens motor housing. For floor installations (where the projector is upright), 
the brackets allow the projector to lie flat on the mounting surface.

Mounting the 
VX-6000d
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen 
installation, one method may be more suitable than another. 
Floor Mounting (Upright)In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and 
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a 
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent 
it from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting 
(Inverted)
For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited 
space for projector and audience, you can invert the VX-6000d and suspend it from the 
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture. 
 
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the 
viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the 
projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber 
crutch tips or turntable feet). 
Adjusting the Projection 
Angle
If the VX-6000d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector, 
you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount. 
If you do this, you may need to shift the image or apply keystone correction using the OSD 
controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to 
Using the On-Screen Menus 
on page 49.
3.6 
Connections to the 
VX-6000d and DHD 
Controller 
Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the VX-6000d, your video sources, 
external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.
When connecting your equipment:
 Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
 Use the correct signal cables for each source.
 Route all cables through the cable opening at the bottom rear of the projector (see 
Figure 2-1).
 Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on 
connectors that have them.
Connecting the DHD 
Controller 
to the VX-6000d
The VX-6000d is designed to receive only video input signals directly from the companion 
DHD Controller/Processor. All signal sources should be connected to the appropriate 
inputs on the rear panel of the DHD. The signal from the DHD is then output to the 
VX-6000d projector through an RGB or DVI cable. 
➤
➤
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your 
projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions 
provided with it. Note
➤
➤
You CANNOT connect signal sources directly to the VX-6000d. 
They MUST be routed through the DHD Controller for proper 
operation.Note
