Runco will repair the product, replace the product with a substantially similar new or like-new product, or refund a prorata
2
share of the purchase price (calculated based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current MSRP of a similar
product), if repair or replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible. Runco has sole discretion in
determining whether a same or like model is offered, and what constitutes a “substantially similar model.”
Length of Warranty
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. 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 the original shipment of the accessory.
Eligibility
This RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty is valid only for the first customer who purchases the covered product from an
authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable. 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 to
the list of covered products will not apply on a retroactive basis.

2. Be prepared to provide the date of purchase, the place of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of
the problem and troubleshooting steps already attempted.
3. Runco Technical Support staff will attempt to correct any minor issues that may be causing the problem. 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 was made within the coverage period of the Standard
Limited Warranty.
4. If it is determined that the Standard Limited Warranty applies to the claim, the customer will need to return the defective
product to the Runco repair depot location specified by the Runco technical support representative. The customer will
need to properly package the defective product, consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g.,
cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals) and return it to the Runco repair depot specified by
the technical support representative. It is the customer’s responsibility to properly package the hardware, include all
appropriate materials, and return it to the location specified by the Runco technical support department. The customer will

Sub Pixel Policy
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. If there are issues with bright or dark sub pixels, gather the information listed above and call or email
Other Terms and Conditions
1. Runco will not accept returned Product unless an RMA number has been issued by Runco.
2. If an Advance Exchange return occurs, it is the customer’s responsibility to properly package the defective product and
ship it to the address provided by the Runco technical support representative with the RMA number prominently
displayed. 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.
3. The repaired or replaced product will assume the remainder of your original product’s RuncoCare Service Plan term or 90
days from the date the repaired unit is shipped, whichever is longer.
4. If a replacement product is sent, the customer agrees to retain the replacement for the product you purchased and your

The LightStyle™ Series LS-10i Home Theater Projector encompasses Runco’s
award-winning three-chip performance in an elegant, sleek package. Feature rich,
including advanced connectivity and the latest-generation video processing, the LS-10i
provides style and elegance to the most exacting custom theaters.
1.3
Description, Features
and Benefits
Impressive, unique and unlike single-chip DLP™ implementations, no color wheel is used
in the LS-10i. Instead, it harnesses the power of three advanced 16:9 DMD’s™ and
12-degree mirror tilt for unsurpassed black level performance. The impressive brightness
is further bolstered by the improved contrast capabilities of the stylish LS-10i. This
reduces mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity.
Runco’s advanced ViVix™ digital video processing enhances the LS-10i picture quality
and provides artifact-free scaling.
The LS-10i features Runco’s revolutionary new Personal Color Equalizer™ (PCE), which
allows color adjustment that includes those exactly defined by the cinematographer and
the color preferences of each individual viewer for each source.
In addition to Runco's proprietary Personal Color Equalizer, the LS-10i can also be paired
with Runco’s new CineGlide™ lens solution. Through an ingenious combination of
software, electronics and precision anamorphic optics, CineGlide provides
uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” 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.
CineGlide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide
format screen.
Note
Rounding out this projector’s impressive feature set are discrete input source, aspect ratio
and power on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation
control systems.

To install batteries in the remote control:
3.1
Remote Control
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in
the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Install two AAA batteries with the
correct polarity.
3. Replace the cover.
• Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
Notes on Batteries
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage.
• In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the screen which will
reflect the IR signal from the remote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In
some cases, however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote
control at the projector and try again.
Notes on Remote Control
Operation
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft
of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed
out and less vibrant.

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.
Throw Distance
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) =

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
Other Considerations
• 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 LS-10i
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.
Floor Mounting (Upright)
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 LS-10i and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Ceiling Mounting
(Inverted)
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector.
Note
Install the ceiling mount kit according to the instructions provided with it.
If you are ceiling-mounting an LS-10i with an anamorphic lens, perform these additional
steps to secure the plate Security Hooks to the ceiling (refer to Attaching the Security
Hooks on the previous page).
1. Install ceiling hooks (not supplied) into the ceiling directly above the Plate Hooks. The
ceiling hooks should be small enough to accept a Chain End but strong enough when
installed to each support 40 pounds or more.
2. Attach a Chain End to the Chain and then connect it to one of the ceiling hooks.
3. Cut the Chain to a length equal to or slightly greater than the distance between the
ceiling hook and the corresponding Plate Hook.
4. Attach a Chain End to the other end of the Chain. Then, use the Chain to connect the
ceiling hook and the Plate Hook.
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).

Installing the Optional Stray Light Shield: For
installations that require significant vertical lens shift (50% or
more of the screen height), a lens shield is provided with the
LS-10i that minimizes stray light around the image.
The light shield attaches to threads at the end of the lens.
Or, if you have installed a lens filter, you can attach the light
shield to it.
To install or remove the light shield, squeeze the two side
"wings" to snap it into place or release it.
Do not use the stray light shield unless the amount of vertical lens
shift exceeds 50 per cent of the screen height.

Configure Lens Motor Trigger: The anamorphic lens solution for the LS-10i 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.
Proceed as follows to confirm that the +12V trigger output to which the lens transport is

Adjusting the Lens Position:
1. Adjust the vertical position and tilt of the lens so that the projector beam is passing
through the center of the lens and any residual pincushion distortion is about the
same at the top and bottom of the image. This typically results in the anamorphic lens
being below the center of the primary lens and tilted slightly downward.
2. Tighten the knobs.
There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is
Note
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.
3. Adjust the rotation of the Lens Transport Assembly so that the left and right sides of
the image are an equal distance from their respective screen borders.
4. Tighten the Pivot Screw and the four mounting screws holding the transport to the
Attachment Plate.
5. For optimum multiple aspect ratio performance, adjust the projector’s zoom so that a
1.85:1 aspect ratio movie is just masked by the top and bottom of the screen border
when the anamorphic lens is not in front of the primary lens. This way 1.85:1, 16:9
and 2.35-2.4:1 aspect ratio movies are all presented to fill the screen at a constant
height.
6. Remove the protective film from the
front of the anamorphic lens.

Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of
source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:
• The aspect ratio of the source material, as broadcast or encoded on the playback
medium.
• The “display type” (16:9 or 4:3) and output resolution settings at the source
component. Most modern DVD/BD players and set-top boxes have such controls.
• Viewer preference (original aspect ratio with “black bars,” or a full-screen presentation
with some distortion or cropping).

television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan
effectively hides these inactive, outer edges of the image. Choose one of the following:

• Crop: This setting adds a mask at the left and right edges of the source active image

• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or
range data, the LS-10i uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the
LS-10i 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 LS-10i 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 LS-10i 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 LS-10i 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

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

areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red,
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.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image
indicates poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality
is consistent across the screen, that aspect ratio is maintained and that pixel phase
(see above) can be optimized.
of the LS-10i 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.

6. External Control
In addition to using the LS-10i remote control unit, there are three methods of controlling
the projector externally:
• Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those
commands.
• Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit.
• Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands
from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
The following sections describe these methods.
The LS-10i uses a simple text-based control protocol to take requests from control
devices and to provide responses to such devices. This section describes how to send
control messages over a serial link between the LS-10i and an automation/control system
or a PC running terminal emulation software.
6.1
Serial Communications
To interface the LS-10i with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running
terminal emulation software:
RS-232 Connection and
Port Configuration
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-13.
2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal.
3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 38400 bps, no parity, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
type op aspect = 1<Enter>.
Serial commands to the LS-10i take the following form:
• Commands are in ASCII format.
Serial Command Syntax
• Spaces and tabs can be used to improve readability and are ignored by the projector.
• All commands must end with a carriage return (ASCII hex 0D) to signify that the
projector can now read and execute the command.
• Commands are not case-sensitive.
The LS-10i supports two types of commands: key commands and operation commands.
Key commands mimic pressing a button on the remote control. Operation commands tell
the projector exactly what to do.
All commands start with 2 letters:
kyfor key commands.
opfor operations commands.

Key Commands: The syntax for key commands is simple:
ky <keyname>[CR]
Some key command examples:
ky menu[CR]
Bring up or cancel menu display.
ky mem.sw[CR]
ky asp.16.9[CR]
Switch to next user memory.
Apply 16:9 aspect ratio.
The response from the projector for key commands will be the same command in
UPPERCASE.
Input: ky mem.sw[CR]
Response: KY MEM.SW [CR]

Operations Commands: Operations commands allow more flexible and direct control of
the projector. The syntax for operations commands is as follows:
op <operation> <command>[CR]
(Precede <operation>and <command> with a space.)
The command type can be one of 5 functions:

Asks what the current value is.
Adds 1 to the current value.
= <value>
?
Get
+
-
Increment
Decrement
Execute
Subtracts 1 from the current value.
Performs an action such as a reset.
(none)
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]
Input: op sharp.mode = 1 [CR]
Response: OP SHARP.MODE = 1 [CR]
Input: op sharp.simple = 50 [CR]
Response: OP SHARP.SIMPLE = NA [CR]
Input: op sharp.simple ? [CR]
Response: OP SHARP.SIMPLE = NA [CR]

Table 7-1. LS-10i Specifications (continued)
Brightness and Contrast:
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
-
-
Brightness: 119 foot-Lamberts (fL)
Contrast Ratio: 251:1
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: 1845 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 251:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector
as described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications
-
-
Light Output: 2100 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 10,000:1 full-on, full-off (dynamic)
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.
Weight (without lens):
Regulatory Approvals:
40.8 lbs. (18.50 kg)
FCC Part 15 Class B, CE Class B, UL, cUL, CB, RoHS,
WEEE, local conformances as required
Limited Warranty:
Projector: Two (2) years parts and labor from the date of
shipment from Runco. RuncoCare™ and Runco
RedCarpet™ plans are also available.
Lamp: 1000 hours or six (6) months, whichever comes
first.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
