Connecting to AC PowerProjector: The X-200i ships with various types of AC power cords. Choose the one that 
is appropriate to your locale. 
Plug the female end of the power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the projector 
(AC 100V ~ 240V); see 
Figure 2-2. Then, connect the other end to your AC power source. 
AutoScope Lens Motor: With AutoScope-equipped projectors, an additional power 
cord is provided for the lens motor. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC 
input on the rear of the lens motor assembly. Connect the other end to your AC power 
source. 
Secure the emitter in the desired location using double-sided tape or 
a similar adhesive material.

Turning on the Power
1. Turn on your source components. 
2. Set the AutoScope lens motor power switch to the “on” position.
3. Press the ON  button on the remote control (or the POWER button on the 
system keypad) to turn on the X-200i. The blue POWER LED flashes blue to indicate 
that it is warming up. 
4. When the projector is ready for use, the POWER LED turns off. 
5. When the projector is turned on, the Active 3D Emitter turns on as well. The LEDs 
display a red moving pattern while the emitter attempts to acquire a 3D signal and 
until a signal is found. 
 
 
If the emitter searches for a signal for longer than 60 seconds, a signal is assumed to 
not be present. 
 
6. Upon finding a 3D signal, all LEDs turn blue. Once the LEDs indicate a 3D signal, the 
3D glasses can be used to experience 3D. For more information on using the Active 
3D Glasses, refer to 
Using the 3D Glasses on page 73.

Lens Adjustments
The X-200i gives you a great deal of control over the picture size, position and focus. 
Focus and ZoomTo focus the projected image, grasp the lens 
by the front ring and rotate it. 
To make the picture smaller (zoom out), slide 
the zoom control to the right. 
To make the picture larger (zoom in), slide the 
zoom control to the left. 
To lock the position of the lens, tighten the 
knob with a flat-blade screwdriver. 
Lens Shift
Vertical Lens Shift: To shift the projected 
image vertically, first ensure that the lens lock 
is not engaged. Insert the provided hex 
wrench into the vertical lens shift adjuster on 
the side of the projector. Then, turn the 
wrench to shift the lens in the desired 
direction. 
Horizontal Lens Shift: To shift the projected 
image horizontally, first ensure that the lens 
lock is not engaged. Insert the provided hex 
wrench into the horizontal lens shift adjuster at 
the top of the projector. Then, turn the wrench 
to shift the lens in the desired direction. 
Zoom Out Zoom InFocus
Do not attempt any lens adjustments when the lens lock is 
engaged. Doing so may cause damage to the zoom or lens shift 
mechanisms.
THE LENS SHIFT MECHANISM CAN BE DAMAGED BY 
EXCESSIVE FORCE. Do not attempt to move the primary lens 
beyond its normal adjustment range.

Installing and 
Adjusting the 
CineWide Anamorphic 
Lens
If you are installing an X-200i/CineWide or X-200i/CineWide with AutoScope, proceed as 
follows to install and adjust the secondary anamorphic lens. 
Runco offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and 
cylindrical.
 The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the 
width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device. 
 The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It 
stretches the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display 
device. 
The X-200i/CineWide is available with either a prismatic or a cylindrical anamorphic lens. 
The X-200i/CineWide with AutoScope always uses a cylindrical lens. 
 
If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney 
(Prismatic) Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment on page 45. If you are 
installing a CineWide projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section.
It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly 
adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that 
the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the 
screen. 
The prismatic anamorphic lens can only be used with the standard 
primary lens. It is not compatible with the short-throw or long-throw 
primary lens.

Attach Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate: 
1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers and Washers (8) from the bottom of the 
Anamorphic Lens Holder (6).
2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate or Fixed 
CineWide Base Plate (7). Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of 
the lens holder is perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the plate.
3. Secure the Anamorphic Lens Holder to the plate using the Hex Bolts/Washers (9) and 
Yaw/X Adjustment Levers that you removed in Step 1. 
4. Use the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws/Washers (4), Pitch Adjustment 
T-Screws/Washers (5) and T-Nuts (1) to attach the Pitch Adjustment Yoke and Lens 
Adapter Ring to the Anamorphic Lens Holder. The Yoke should be as close to the 
primary lens as possible.
5. Attach the lens to the Lens Adapter Ring by threading it clockwise.

Configure Lens Motor Trigger (CineWide with AutoScope): 
CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect 
ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving 
the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed. 
When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens 
moves out of the light path.
To configure the lens motor trigger on the X-200i for proper AutoScope operation:  
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.
2. On the X-200i remote control or system keypad, press MENU.
3. Select CONTROL from the Master Menu.
4. If you connected the AutoScope lens motor to the TRIGGER II output (as shown in 
Figure 3-8), confirm that the Tr i g g e r  2 setting is AutoScope. (This is the default 
setting.)  Change it if necessary. If you connected the AutoScope lens motor to the 
TRIGGER
 I output, change the Trigger 1 setting to AutoScope. 
5. Select CineWide from the Control menu and set it to AutoScope. 
6. Select the Cinema or Virtual Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into 
position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA or V- C I N E on the X-200i remote 
control.
7. Proceed as described in the following sections to adjust the anamorphic lens. 
Horizontal Position (X) Adjustment: 
1. Project a white field on the screen.
2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens. 
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place (from right to left or vice versa) so that 
there are no shadows on either side of the screen: 
 
 
4. When the horizontal position is properly set, tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place.

Adjusting the Height (Y): With the white field still on-screen, loosen the 
Height/Y
 Adjustment T-Screws on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the 
anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the 
screen: 
When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the 
lens in place.
Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom 
pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below 
the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely. 
Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular: 
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is 
normal.
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to 
secure the lens in place. 
There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is 
properly adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the 
case, Runco recommends that you slightly over-scan the image 
into the screen frame area to mask the distortion.

Yaw Adjust: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from 
side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-to-right pincushion distortion: 
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place. 
Geometry: 
1. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely.
2. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly 
anamorphic: 
3. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the 
Anamorphic Lens Set Screw (3) to secure the lens in place. (When 
viewed from the front, the rear opening on the anamorphic lens 
should appear as a tall, narrow oval.) 
  
 
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic 
lens to fine-tune the optical focus.
