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,
1
with the exception of the following models: XP-103DHD, SC-1 and SC-1a . This Limited Warranty applies to purchases of
covered Runco products occurring on or after June 1, 2011.
RuncoCare™ Limited Warranty Coverage
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
2
based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current, most-recent MSRP of a similar product), if repair or
replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible.
Length of RuncoCare™ Warranty Period
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.
RuncoCare™ Eligibility
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.

RuncoCare™ Standard Claim Procedure
• 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.
What to Include with Your Return
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.
RuncoCare™ Warranty Exclusions
This Limited Warranty does not include and is limited by the following:
1. Products not purchased from an authorized Runco dealer

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.
Other Terms and Conditions
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.

Integrating Runco's award-winning controller/processor technology for flawless images
from any source, the Q-650i sets new standards in projection with Runco's
game-changing InfiniLight™ LED lampless technology, Personal Color Equalizer and
Runco SmartColor.
1.3
Description, Features
and Benefits
Runco's revolutionary QuantumColor™ projectors pair energy-saving LED technology
with proprietary Runco engineering to create unsurpassed performance and unrivaled
customization. The Runco QuantumColor Q-750i maximizes the benefits of Runco's new
InfiniLight™ lampless LED illumination technology to provide an infinite light source that
creates an energy-efficient projector with the widest color gamut ever available in home
theater projection.
But simply creating a projector platform with lampless technology and the largest color
gamut isn't enough. Harnessing its incredible color options, Runco introduces its
revolutionary new Personal Color Equalizer™, which allows color adjustment that includes
those exactly defined by the cinematographer and the color preferences of each individual
viewer for each source. Proprietary Runco Smart Color (RSC™) provides a hue
compensation curve and gamut mapping that allows for lifelike, accurate flesh tones while
increasing color saturation, without sacrificing the purity of other colors.
In addition to Runco's proprietary InfiniLight, Personal Color Equalizer and Runco Smart
Color, the Q-750i can also be paired with Runco’s award-winning CineWide™ and
CineWide with AutoScope™ technology. CineWide provides uncompromised widescreen
reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format. It maintains
constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions
from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider
while full screen height is maintained, eliminating useless black bars on the top and
bottom of the screen.
Runco CineWide is achieved through Runco's ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics. With Runco CineWide, the projection
system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced
resolution and increased brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to those black
bars that contain no picture information. CineWide with AutoScope provides a motorized,
remote-controlled anamorphic lens mechanism.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
“superwide” format screen.
Note
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

Throw Distance
Throw 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
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.
Estimating Throw Distance
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio

Vertical Lens Shift (Standard Q-650i): The Q-650i provides up to 60% of vertical
lens shift up or down. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you can shift
the image up to 33.60 inches (0.85 meters) above or below the screen center.
Vertical Lens Shift (Q-650i/CineWide or Q-650i/CineWide with AutoScope): The
Q-650i provides up to 25% of upward vertical lens shift and up to 60% of
downward vertical lens shift. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you
can shift the image up to 14.00 inches (0.36 meters) above or 33.60 inches (0.85 meters)
below the screen center.
Horizontal Lens Shift: The Q-650i provides up to 12.5% of horizontal lens shift left

Folded Optics
In rear-projection applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may

➤
Screen
Mirror
Figure 3-5. Folded Optics
For best performance, always use “first-surface” mirrors in your
Tip
rear-projection installation (as opposed to conventional,
“second-surface” mirrors with the reflective surface behind a
transparent substrate such as glass or acrylic).
First-surface mirrors provide a strict reflection without the “ghosting”
effect seen with a second surface mirror, where a faint secondary
reflection could be observed coming from the front surface of the
glass.
Other Considerations
Other 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.

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
3.5
Mounting the Q-650i
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 Q-650i and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions
provided with it.
Note
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 Projector
Height or Projection Angle
If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector (such as in a rear-projection
installation), you can tilt the projector at an angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by
adjusting the ceiling mount.
➤
If you do tilt the projector, you may need to vertically shift the image using the on-screen
display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the
Proceed as follows to connect the Q-650i to your video sources, external controller(s) – if
present – and AC power.

Connections to the
Q-650i
When connecting your equipment:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the correct signal cables for each source.
• For best performance and to minimize cable clutter, use high-quality cables that are
only as long as necessary to connect two devices. (Don’t use a 20-foot cable when a
6-foot cable will suffice.)
• Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on
connectors that have them.

Select the Appropriate CineWide Scaling Method: CineWide and CineWide with
AutoScope both produce the same image geometry for a given aspect ratio (refer to Table
4-2). However, when the viewer selects the 16:9, 4:3, Letterbox or VirtualWide aspect
ratio, CineWide uses different scaling algorithms to compensate for the fact that the
anamorphic lens is always in front of the primary lens.
To configure the Q-650i to use the appropriate CineWide scaling method:
1. Press MENU on the remote control.
4. For a Q-650i/CineWide (fixed anamorphic lens), choose CineWide. For a
Q-650i/CineWide with AutoScope (motorized anamorphic lens), choose AutoScope.
Configure Lens Motor Trigger (Q-650i/CineWide with AutoScope only): 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 Q-650i for proper AutoScope operation:

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 default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or
range data, the Q-650i uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the
Q-650i uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV
resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component video resolutions, REC709 is
used.
• RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the Q-650i uses the RGB-PC color
space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709 for
all other sources.
• Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the Q-650i uses the REC601 color
space. For all other resolutions REC709 is used.
In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not,
you can force the Q-650i to use a specific color space. Choose one of the following:
• REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.
• REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.
• RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at
255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image.
• RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at

in digital component standards.

• Auto: The color systems are automatically identified and the format is set accordingly.
• PAL: This is the standard used in Europe, Australia and many other parts of the world,
typically with a 50Hz frame rate.
• SECAM: This is a standard format used mainly in France and Russia.
• NTSC: This is the standard format used mainly in the United States and Japan.
The available settings are 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.35 and 2.5.

If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see
details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast
while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and

Note
• The default setting, Auto, frame locks to the main source if it has a vertical refresh rate
of between 48 and 62Hz. Vertical refresh rates of from 24 to 31Hz are doubled. Frame
rates between 31 and 48Hz and greater than 62Hz are converted to 60Hz.
• Select 48Hz to force the output frame rate to 48Hz. Use this setting to eliminate 2:3

Each setting defines the precise hue of each primary (red, green and blue) and secondary
(yellow, cyan and magenta) color component used to generate the millions of colors
produced in displays. Changing either or both of these numbers changes the hue of the
color and relocates the “triangle” for possible colors. For example, changing the x/y
coordinates for red moves the color closer to either orange or violet, which in turn affects
all displayed colors having a red component.
• Auto automatically chooses the appropriate color gamut:
• SMPTE-C for NTSC, 480i and 480p sources.
• EBU for PAL, SECAM, 576i and 576p sources.
• REC709 for all other sources.
• REC709 chooses the REC709 color gamut.
• Select SMPTE-C to use the color gamut defined in SMPTE 170M-1999.
• Select EBU to use the color gamut defined in EBU Tech. 3213-E.
• Select Native for Runco's recommended Personal Color Equalizer preset for typical
video sources. It displays the fully saturated LED color gamut with appropriate color
brightness, hue, and Runco Smart Color settings.

• Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the

green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test
pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the
gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the Offset controls
shift the entire range, resulting in a change in brightness.
Generally, higher Gain settings reduce the image contrast; higher
Offset settings reduce the image brightness.

• V Position: •This control adjusts the vertical position of the image within the
designated image area, up to 25 per cent of the image height up or down.
• H Position: This control adjusts the horizontal position of the image within the
designated image area, up to 25 per cent of the image width left or right.
• Phase (RGB or Component sources): This control adjusts the phase of the pixel
sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB or

For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear
pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the
slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that
you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such cases.
• Tracking (RGB or Component sources): Tracking determines the frequency of the
pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all
pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.

of the Q-650i Sync signal detection circuitry.
Sync Level adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source
signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when
subtitles are present) and causes the projector to temporarily lose sync. If the Sync
Level from the source is persistently too low, the projector won’t sync with the source
at all.
The range is from 50 to 256 millivolts (mV) inclusive. The default setting is 240 mV and
should rarely require adjustment.

Hue/Saturation/Level: PCE provides the ability to define a custom color gamut in terms
of primary (red, green and blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta) color hues,
saturation and level (brightness).
Each control operates only on the color specified. Surrounding colors are linearly
interpolated based on their distance from each of these colors. In the CIE 1931 Yxy
point, Saturation adjusts the coordinate's distance from white and Level adjusts the
luminance (Y) of the color relative to white.

Operations Commands
Operations commands allow more flexible and direct control of the projector. The syntax
for operations commands is as follows:
➤

(Precede <operation>and <command> with a space.)
The command type can be one of 5 functions:

?
Increment
Decrement
Execute
+
-
Subtracts 1 from the current value.
Performs an action such as a reset.

Table 6-2 lists the valid operations commands. For all but Execute functions, the response
from the projector is the command and “= <value>” where <value> is the current value or
“NA” if the value is not available. For Execute functions the response is the same
command. All responses are in UPPERCASE.
Some operations command examples:
Input: op bright ? [CR]
Response: OP BRIGHT = 100 [CR]
Input: op bright + [CR]
Response: OP BRIGHT = 101 [CR]
Input: op bright = 127 [CR]
Response: OP BRIGHT = 127 [CR]
Input: op bright - [CR]
Response: OP BRIGHT = 126 [CR]
Input: op resync [CR]
Response: OP RESYNC [CR]

If an errcode ?command returns one of the following values, you have encountered a
likely system error requiring the attention of a qualified service technician. Try resetting the
projector by powering it off, allowing it to cool and powering it on again. Refer to Table 6-3
and contact your dealer if the problem persists.
RS-232 Error Codes
The specific code number identifies the source of the error detected, and is particularly
useful in cases where the projector is far away. For example, the code “7” means that
Fan 1 has failed.

Table 7-1. Q-650i Specifications (continued)
Brightness and Contrast:
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
-
-
Brightness: 29 foot-Lamberts (fL)
Contrast Ratio: 330:1
These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled,
home theater environment. All measurements are made to
ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research
PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter,
Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The
projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a
minimum of 150 hours of usage.
The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial
movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies
16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an
open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today
SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital
Cinema theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on
screen size, screen gain and projector light output.
Home Theater Calibration Specifications
-
-
Light Output: 450 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 330:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications
-
-
Light Output: 700 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 3 settings (Infinity:1, 20,000:1, 10,000:1
(sequential))
ColorContrast™
Colors have up to 50% higher contrast than Mercury or Xenon
lamp systems.
These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications
found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these
measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other
manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at
9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the
projector is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.
