INTRODUCTION 1.1 The VX-4c/VX-6c projector is a professional quality TM TM DMD projector that uses Digital Light Processing TM (DLP ) technology from Texas Instruments to achieve high-brightness multimedia and video projection. The VX-4c/VX-6c is compatible with standard international TM video formats and can interface with IBM -compatible TM PC, Macintosh computers and high-definition (DTV) decoders. The VX-4c/VX-6c is ideal for use in both large and small home theaters; performing exceptionall

INTRODUCTION 1.2 ANAMORPHIC LENS DLP™ projectors use a small device called a DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device) to create the video image. DMDs are designed in aspect ratios ranging from 4:3 (standard) and 16:9 (widescreen), to 5:4 (digital cinema). Understanding that more and more home theaters are designed using 16:9 or cinemascope projection screens (similar to your local Cineplex's), Runco has developed an anamorphic lens system to make the 5:4 DMD fully compatible with a home theater that ha

INTRODUCTION 1.3 Components Included with the VX-4c/VX-6c is an infrared (IR) remote keypad, high-current 13 amp rated line cord, a 9/64” hex socket ball driver, and a VX-4c/VX-6c owner’s manual. Make sure that you have all these items, and note that if you have purchased this projector, a purchaser’s Warranty Registration Card is also included. Complete this card and return it directly to Runco International as soon as possible. TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY For Projectors, Video Processors and Con

INSTALLATION & SETUP This section explains how to install and set up the projector. If you are familiar with the projector and want to quickly set it up for temporary use, follow the Quick Setup instructions below. For a more complete setup, fol- low the instructions and guides covered in the remaining subsections. NOTE: 1) The lens is not mounted when the projector is shipped from the factory. For instructions on how to install or replace a lens, refer to 4.4, Replacing the Lens. 2.1 Quick Set

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2.2 Installing The Lens A variety of lenses are available to accommodate different throw distances and specific types of installations. See page 2-10 for details. To change/install a lens, follow the steps below. NOTES: 1) You will need a 9/64”(3mm or 3.5mm) hex socket ball driver (supplied with projec- tor) or allen wrench for this procedure. 2) “Top” or “bottom” references assume a non-inverted projector, as illustrated. 3) If you are installing a lens, first make sure i

INSTALLATION AND SETUP IF ZOOM LENS: Access to the 3 lens mount screws is likely blocked by the toothed zoom ring in front of it. First rotate the zoom ring by hand until its 3 access holes align with the screws, then insert the hex socket ball driver through the holes to loosen the screws-do not remove. See figure to the right. Align zoom gear ring to access 3 screws -ZOOM LENS- STEP 3 Rotate the lens barrel slightly Using both hands, rotate the lens barrel counter- clockwise until the screw

INSTALLATION AND SETUP STEP 4 Pull lens assembly out Carefully pull the lens assembly straight out of the projector and set aside. Remove Lens Assembly STEP 5 Install new lens assembly IMPORTANT: Remove the rear (smallest) lens cap from the new lens. Make sure the front lens cap remains on during installation. Align the large cut-out area on the lens flange to the bottom of the lens mount (which has a matching cut-out). The 3 lens assembly slots should align with the lens mount screws so that

INSTALLATION AND SETUP STEP 6 Adjust Image ZOOM: With the input image displayed, rotate the textured ring on the lens barrel to increase or decrease the image size (this requires a zoom Zoom lens). If you do not have a zoom lens or you can not adjust the image enough, the projector may not be positioned at the proper throw distance for your screen size. Power down, unplug the projector and move it towards or away from the screen. FOCUS: At the lens opening, turn the focus tab to focus the imag

You may want to reduce initial setup time by starting with an “Auto Setup”. The projector will automatically optimize a variety of display settings according to the incoming source detected. You can then re-adjust these settings at any time, if desired. 2.3 Installation Considerations Although this

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Always consult this section when planning a projector installation. See also section 2.7 and 2.8, Projector Position and Mounting. Calculating Throw Distance Correct throw distance depends on the screen size and lens present-the larger the image needed, the greater the distance you must allow between the lens and screen. Once you know the screen size and lens type present, you can calculate the precise throw distance you require by using the appropriate formula as found in

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2.6 Vertical & Horizontal Position THE VERTICAL POSITION of the projector in relation to the screen also depends on the size of the screen and the lens type. Correct vertical position helps ensure that the image will be rec- tangular in shape rather than keystoned (having non-parallel sides) and that image focus and brightness both remain optimized. In addition, vertical position of the image can be manually offset-that is, moved up or down-by turning the top screw on the

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Maximum Vertical Offsets (ZOOM LENSES) NOTES: 1) If you cannot raise or lower the image enough using mechanical vertical offsets, try adjusting V-Shift in the Scaling Parameters menu (see 3.6, Adjusting the Image). 2) If the image becomes keystoned or exhibits uneven brightness, the projector may simply be too high or low in relation to the screen. 3) Recommended offset ranges can be exceeded, however this may affect image quality. 4) Simultaneous horizontal and vertical

Take care with a mobile cart-avoid sudden stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces that may cause the projector and cart combination to over- turn. The table or cart should be reasonably level. Fine adjustments to the projec- tor level can be made by adjusting the height of the projector legs. Special Mounting Note that projector can

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2.8 Folded Optics In rear screen applications where space behind the pro- jector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the opti- cal path. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set-if considering this type of installation, call your Runco dealer for assistance. 2.9 Source Connections The rear panel of the projector provides standard input panels to which you may connect a vari- ety of sources. See below - the lower left area (INPUT 1) typically acc

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2.10 RGB Signals INPUT 1 provides 5 BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources. The typical connec- tion would be to an RGB source such as the VHD Ultra Controller, computers or DTV decoders with an RGB output. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-on- green, composite sync, and separate H & V syncs. NOTES: Depending on the source, you may need a custom adapter cable that has BNC connec- tors at the projector end and a different type
