RuncoCare™ Standard Two Year Limited 
Warranty
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco® product! With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years 
of unparalleled video performance. 
This Limited Warranty is provided free of charge by Runco International, LLC (“Runco”) with the purchase of a covered Runco 
product. This Limited Warranty is applicable to all Runco projectors, processors, LCD display and plasma display products, 
with the exception of the following models: XP-103DHD, SC-1 and SC-1a1. This Limited Warranty applies to purchases of 
covered Runco products occurring on or after June 1, 2011. 
Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided below. If 
a product proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period, Runco will repair the product, replace 
the product with a substantially similar new or like-new product, or refund a prorated share of the purchase price (calculated 
based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current, most-recent MSRP2 of a similar product), if repair or 
replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible. 
Runco products are warranted for two (2) years from the date of shipment from Runco. Lamps are warranted six (6) months 
from the date of shipment or 1000 hours of use, whichever comes first. A replacement lamp is warranted for the remaining 
portion (if any) of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days from the date it was shipped to you, whichever is longer. All 
other accessories, which include but are not limited to cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold 
with the Runco product, are warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of shipment.
This Limited Warranty is valid only in the country where the Product was originally purchased and for the buyer who originally 
purchased the covered product from the authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable; it is not valid 
for any subsequent buyer (if any). You may be required to provide proof of purchase in order to receive warranty services. 
1. Runco may update this list of products excluded from this warranty from time to time at Runco’s sole discretion, but updates will 
not apply on a retroactive basis.

 In the event of a product defect, please follow the claim procedure provided below: 
A.Register your product if you have not yet done so. Visit http://www.runco.com/support/product-registration/ to 
register the product. 
B.Contact your original authorized dealer or distributor who sold the product. 
C.The dealer/distributor will contact Runco Technical Support via email at [email protected] or via phone at 1-800- 
23-RUNCO (1-800-237-8626). 
The dealer/distributor will provide to Runco proof of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of the 
problem and any troubleshooting steps already attempted. 
Runco’s technical support staff will attempt to assist the dealer/distributor in troubleshooting any technical issues that might 
be causing the product to malfunction. If Runco is unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material 
Authorization (RMA) number will be issued for the exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim is 
covered by the warranty. Once an RMA has been created, RMA status is available at [email protected]. 
If an RMA is issued, the dealer or customer will need to return the defective product to the Runco repair depot location 
specified by the Runco technical support representative. The dealer or customer will need to properly package the defective 
product in a suitable shipping container consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., cables, 
remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals). Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support 
representative. 
 The dealer or customer is responsible for paying freight charges and insurance to ship the defective product to the Runco 
repair depot location. If there are any shipping damages, the dealer or customer will need to address and resolve any 
shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company. 
 Runco will not accept a returned product unless an RMA has been issued by Runco. 
 For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product to the dealer/distributor 
from the Runco repair depot. For select countries or geographies Runco will ship via an economy express service. Return 
delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination, and Runco is unable to deliver to PO Box and FPO 
Box addresses. 
 Note: in the 48 contiguous United States, other options for on-site service or advance exchange for the product may apply, 
if you purchased the Runco PremierCare™ Service Plan. 
1. Return only the defective product with the lamp (if applicable). 
2. Runco will not be responsible for returning or replacing any accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens 
cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product) that are returned with the defective product. 
3. Repaired or replacement products will be shipped with a lamp (if applicable) but without any accessories. 
This Limited Warranty does not include and is limited by the following: 
1. Products not purchased from an authorized Runco dealer 
2. Rental costs incurred by the customer in the event of product defect or failure 
3. Any product with a defaced, modified, or removed serial number

4. Damage, deterioration, or malfunction resulting from: 
A. Accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, lightning, or other acts of nature, smoke 
exposure (cigarette or otherwise), unauthorized product modification (including use of an unauthorized mount), or 
failure to follow instructions supplied with the product 
B. Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by Runco 
C. Any damage to the product due to shipment 
D. Removal or installation of the product 
E. Causes external to the product, such as electric power fluctuations or failure 
F. Use of supplies or parts (including lamps) that are not purchased from Runco or do not meet Runco’s specifications
G. Normal wear and tear 
H. Expected lamp degradation and normal decrease in lamp output over a period of time or as the lamp is consumed 
I. Customer caused defects, including but not limited to, scratched/defaced/altered plastics 
J. Failure to follow maintenance procedures as outlined in the product’s user guide where a schedule is specified for 
regular cleaning of the product 
K. Opening the product and/or tampering with internal circuitry 
L. Products lost, stolen or discarded 
M. Any damage or dissatisfaction associated with latent images, “burnin,” or any other damage determined by Runco to 
be the result of customer use patterns 
N. Any other cause, which does not relate to a product defect in material or workmanship 
5. Removal, installation, and set-up service charges are excluded from the warranty. 
6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and 
specifications for the product. 
7. Bright or dark sub pixels that are characteristic of LCD technology and considered by Runco to be acceptable and within 
Runco’s manufacturing specifications.
 
 
Specifically, it is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing 
process. A bright sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The 
sub pixels are usually hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The 
following are Runco’s criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the 
number of bright or dark sub pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and 
d) the Runco model size. If sub pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and 
will be replaced if reported within the warranty period. 
1. If the defective product is not properly packaged and is damaged in transit during its return to Runco, you may be invoiced 
for either the repair costs, if repairable, or the MSRP of a replacement product and shipping costs incurred by Runco. 
2. The repaired or replaced product will assume the remainder of your original product’s warranty term or 90 days from the 
date the repaired or replaced product is shipped, whichever is longer. 
3. If a replacement product is sent, the replacement becomes the property of the customer and the defective product 
becomes the property of Runco.

Please read and make sure you understand the following safety information before using the product for viewing 3D content. 
Provide this information to the end users of this product and ensure that they understand it. 
IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D VIEWING: 
It is widely recognized that stereographic display devices can cause discomfort, including, without 
limitation, dizziness, nausea, headaches, eye fatigue and eye-strain, in some individuals.
  The 3D 
effect and experience will vary by individual, depending on a variety of factors, including his or her 
health and vision.
  Runco recommends that users take regular breaks when watching 3D video or 
playing games using stereoscopic displays.
  Discontinue use if any discomfort occurs.  Parents of 
young children should ensure their children avoid extensive exposure to electronic stereographic 
entertainment.
The quality and appropriateness of the 3D screen materials onto which the image is projected and 
the quality of the 3D content being displayed both have a significant and noticeable impact on the 
overall 3D experience.
  A properly-calibrated projection system, including glasses and an 
optimized third-party screen, displaying high-quality 3D content is the best formula for immersive 
and comfortable 3D experiences in the home.
  Please refer to the remainder of this manual for 
proper projector installation and usage instructions.
  
The glasses that accompany this product are not safe to use as sunglasses, protective eyewear or 
any use outdoors or other than only in conjunction with the proper operation of the Runco product 
with which they are sold.
  It is common to dim the lights in a home theater.  Using 3D glasses and 
the immersive imagery of stereoscopic imagery can increase the risk of tripping or falling the dark.
  
Special care should be taken.
Do not tilt your head while using the 3D glasses.
