Elegant and electrifying, the LightStyle™ Series LS-3/LS-5 Home Theater Projector is
Runco’s first-ever 1080p projector designed for both performance and esthetics. Where
sleek design encompasses incredible performance, this stylish combination of legendary
Runco engineering and impactful design yield a powerhouse that elevates the bar for
affordable home theater projection.
1.3
Description, Features
and Benefits
Designed inside and out by Runco’s award-winning engineering and design team, the
LS-3/LS-5 incorporates Runco’s proprietary engineering, advanced features and
performance enhancements to achieve an elevated home theater experience. Combining
a 1080p native resolution DLP™ light engine featuring Runco’s powerful SuperOnyx™
technology with ConstantContrast™ for bright, pristine, high-definition images with deep
black levels and significant contrast, the LS-3/LS-5 projects pristine images from any
source.
The LS-3/LS-5 is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus and lens
shift controls and a throw range of 1.85:1 to 2.40:1. For installations requiring shorter
throw distances, the LS-3/LS-5 is optionally available with a lens that offers a throw range
of 1.56:1 to 1.86:1.
To ensure a perfect fit in any room at any time, the LS-3/LS-5 incorporates the ISF™
(Imaging Science Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance in various rooms
and lighting conditions. These calibration tools feature day and night calibration memory
settings, individual sharpness and noise reduction controls, programmable image memory
selection keys, built-in test patterns and a dark room-optimized remote.
Runco’s advanced ViVix™ digital video processing enhances the LS-3/LS-5 picture
quality and provide artifact-free scaling. Rounding out this impressive projector are
discrete input source, aspect ratio and power on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for
seamless integration with automation control systems.
For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the LS-3/LS-5 can also be paired with Runco’s
award-winning CineWide™ technology. Through an ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, CineWide maintains constant image 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 image height is
maintained.
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 requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide
format screen.

2.
• 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.

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-3/LS-5
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-3/LS-5 and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Ceiling Mounting
(Inverted)
For ceiling installations, use Runco-approved mounting hardware
and M4 screws with a maximum screw depth of 10 mm (0.39 inch).
Install the mount kit according to the instructions provided with it.
Note
If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the
projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling
mount.
Adjusting the Projection
Angle
For a floor installation, turn the adjustable feet at the bottom of the projector to adjust the
projection angle.
If you do this, you may need to vertically shift the image to compensate. For detailed

Overscan: Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older
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:
• Off: This setting leaves the image as-is.
• Crop: This setting adds a mask at the left and right edges of the source active image
equal to 3% of the displayed horizontal resolution, and at the top and bottom edges
equal to 3% of the displayed vertical resolution.
• Zoom: This setting adds a factor to the scaling of the source active image so that the
vertical and horizontal resolutions are 106% of the size determined by the aspect ratio
function. Anything outside of the original image area is removed.

• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or
range data, the LS-3/LS-5 uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the
LS-3/LS-5 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-3/LS-5 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-3/LS-5 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-3/LS-5 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
235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined
in digital component standards.

If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see

• 2.2 sets the gamma to a 2.2 power law.

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 choose the SMPTE-C color gamut.
• Select EBU to choose the EBU color gamut.
• Select Native to use REC709 for cyan, magenta, and yellow and uncorrected values

pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image

of the LS-3/LS-5 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.

Serial commands to the LS-3/LS-5 take the following form:
• Commands are in ASCII format.
6.2
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-3/LS-5 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.
The syntax for key commands is simple:

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:
Operations Control Commands
Function
Set
Command
Action on unit
Makes the unit take that value.
Asks what the current value is.
Adds 1 to the current value.
= <value>
?
+

-
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]
The last three commands show what happens when a control is grayed out. In this case,
the sharpness mode was set to advanced (value = 1) and then the simple sharpness slider
was attempted to be adjusted and queried. The response was “NA” or not available.

RS-232 Error Codes
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.
➤
The specific code number identifies the source of the error detected, and is particularly
