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  
need to address and resolve any shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.  
5. The customer is responsible for providing a suitable box to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot.  
Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support representative.  
6. The customer is responsible for paying freight charges to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot.

to PO Box and FPO Box addresses  
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  
defective product becomes the property of Runco.

Notes on Remote Control  
Operation  
• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote  
control and the IR receiver on the DHD Controller.  
• 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.  
• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this  
happens, point the remote control at the DHD Controller, and repeat the operation.

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are  
installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into  
account to ensure your projector performs optimally.  
3.3  
Installation  
Considerations  
Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or  
inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods.  
Installation Type  
Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options  
Advantages  
Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation  
• Shares floor space with audience  
Considerations  
• Easy to set up  
• Can be moved or changed quickly  
• Easy to access  
Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation  
• Does not take up audience space  
• Projector is unobtrusive  
• Installation is more permanent  
• Projector access is more difficult  
• Projector cannot be accidentally moved  
Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Projector is easily accessed  
• Requires separate room  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Requires separate room  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
• Requires less space behind screen than  
other rear screen installations  
• Requires separate room  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
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  
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  
multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you  
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

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,  
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.  
Vertical and Horizontal  
Position  
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way  
that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and  
centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.

Folded Optics  
In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be  
used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-5. The position of the projector and  
mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your  
dealer for assistance.  
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,

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.

Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller  
may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily  
solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio  
receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.  
Audio/Video  
Synchronization Issues  
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and  
video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.  
According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more  
than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45  
milliseconds.  
In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs  
to be compensated for during the installation.  
Table 3-5 shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings.

Ventilation  
If you are mounting the SC-50d/SC-60d in an enclosure, leave at least 10 inches  
(250 mm) of space on the left and right sides between it and surrounding objects, as  
shown in Figure 3-6. This allows heat to disperse, maintaining the proper operating  
temperature.

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.

The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. Proceed as follows to install  
it:  
3.4  
Installing the Primary  
Projection Lens  
1. Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector.  
Never operate this projector without a lens. The lens seals the  
projector, preventing contaminants from entering the interior of the  
WARNING  
projector.  
2. Remove the rear cap from the lens. (Keep the front lens cap on the projection lens to  
protect it from damage during the installation process.)  
3. Rotate the lens clamp to the OPEN position.

5. Align the lens interface plate with the lens mount. Align the lens electrical connector  
with the mating connector on the lens mount. Fully insert the assembly straight into  
the lens mount opening without turning. Press using your hand.  
When installing the lens, ensure that it is not inserted at an angle, as  
this can cause damage.  
Note  
6. While holding the lens flat against the lens mount, rotate the lens clamp clockwise to  
lock the lens assembly in place.  
7. Re-attach the lens mount security screws that you removed in Step 4.  
8. Remove the front lens cap.

If you are installing a standard SC-50d/SC-60d (without an anamorphic lens), skip this  
step and proceed with Mounting the SC-50d/SC-60d (page 27).  
3.5  
Installing the Optional  
CineWide with  
AutoScope Lens Motor  
If you are installing an SC-50d/CineWide with AutoScope or SC-60d/CineWide with  
AutoScope, proceed as follows to install the lens mount/motor assembly.  
1. Do not install the CineWide lens yet, only the AutoScope lens  
Note  
motor. You will install the CineWide lens after you install the  
projector and adjust the primary lens.  
2. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly  
from what is shown in these instructions.  
3. The anamorphic lens mounting kit is partially pre-assembled at  
the factory – the AutoScope lens motor and lens mounting  
assemblies are both fully assembled.  
Remove Projector Front  
Place the projector upside down on a blanket or other soft surface. Loosen and remove  
the two front feet on the projector.  
Feet  
Line up the eight mounting holes on the lens motor housing with those on the bottom of  
the projector. Secure the motor to the projector with the eight screws provided for this  
purpose. See Figure 3-7. Then, connect the +12V trigger input on the motor to a +12V  
trigger output on the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-18.

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen  
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.  
3.6  
Mounting the  
SC-50d/SC-60d  
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 SC-50d/SC-60d 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 the kit.  
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 Projector in  
an Enclosure

Adjusting the Projection  
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.  
Angle  
For a floor installation, turn the adjustable feet at the bottom of the projector to adjust the  
projection angle.  
The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it  
affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the lamp, limit the  
side-to-side tilt of the projector to 20 degrees; see Figure 3-8.  
360º  
20º

Projector and/or screen placement — among other things — can cause geometric  
distortion in the projected image.  
3.11  
Adjusting the Image  
Geometry  
To correct this, the DHD Controller provides precise, nine-point control over the projected  
image geometry. Use these controls as (and only if) needed to re-position the image  
corners, mid-points and center to eliminate “keystoning” (mis-aligned corners) or  
“pincushion” distortion (mid-points not aligned with corners). See Figure 3-21.

“Keystoning” usually occurs when the projector is tilted relative to the screen. “Pincushion”  
distortion can sometimes occur if the throw distance is very short and/or the projector is  
equipped with an anamorphic lens.  
To correct keystoning or pincushion distortion:  
1. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.  
2. Select Calibration from the Main Menu and enter the Calibration Menu passcode.  
You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu.  
Note  
3. Select Image Alignment from the Calibration Menu.  
4. Select Corner Alignment to correct a “keystoned” image by adjusting the image  
corner positions. Select Midpoint Alignment to correct pincushion distortion by  
adjusting the image edge mid-points. See Figure 3-22.  
Use the built-in test pattern when adjusting the image corners or  
midpoints. To access it, check the Test Pattern box in the Corner

1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers (item #8) from the bottom of the  
Anamorphic Lens Holder (item #5).  
2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate (item #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  
(item #6) and Yaw/X Adjustment Levers that you removed in Step 1.  
4. Use the Lens Mounting Screws to attach the Lens Adapter Ring (item #1) to the Pitch  
Adjustment Yoke (item #2); see Figure 3-24. (Use the round, threaded holes on the  
yoke.)  
5. Use the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws/Washers (item #3), Pitch Adjustment  
T-Screws/Washers (item #4) and T-Nuts (item #9) 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.  
6. Attach the lens to the Lens Adapter Ring by threading it clockwise.

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.  
Configure Lens Motor  
Trigger (CineWide with  
AutoScope)  
To configure the lens motor trigger on the DHD Controller for proper AutoScope  
operation:  
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.  
2. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.  
3. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode.  
You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu for the first  
time after turning on the system.  
Note  
4. Select Triggers from the Service menu.  
5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and  
Virtual Cinema aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic  
lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected.  
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-CINE on the DHD  
Controller remote control (Figure 2-5), or press  
or  
repeatedly with no menus  
visible on-screen.  
Refer to Figure 3-23 and proceed as follows:  
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:  
Too Far Left  
Correct position  
Too Far Right  
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:  
Too Low  
Correct position  
Too High  
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:  
Correct Lens Angle  
Incorrect Lens Angle  
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  
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.

Geometry:  
1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the DHD Controller.  
2. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely.  
3. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly  
anamorphic:  
Wrong Position  
Correct Position  
4. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the  
Anamorphic Lens Set Screw (item #10) 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.  
Verify Proper Image  
After you have installed the anamorphic lens, ensure that the 2.35:1 image corners and  
edges are aligned with the screen with no geometric distortion. Use the Image Alignment  
controls to make any necessary adjustments (refer to Adjusting the Image Geometry

• 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).

Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate each DHD Controller input to achieve  
optimum picture quality.  
The DHD Controller has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards  
established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully  
crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has  
implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to  
obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco  
recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation  
technician.  
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each DHD  
Controller input separately.  
When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a  
Note  
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a  
different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for  
each input and display mode separately.) For information about  
saving settings, refer to Memory Presets on page 62.  
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and  
regular program material, Runco recommends using an external test pattern source  
(Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent) for best  
results.  
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as  
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.  
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an  
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE  
pattern.

PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray  
areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four  
shaded boxes.  
Select Brightness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. Adjust the brightness so that:  
• The darkest black bars disappear into the background.  
• The dark gray areas are barely visible.  
• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.  
• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.  
• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).  
Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the  
one shown in Figure 4-3.  
Figure 4-3. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast  
Select Contrast and press ENTER. Adjust the contrast to a point just below which the  
white rectangle starts to increase in size.  
Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one  
may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the  
optimum setting.

11.Adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear to  
be a single shade of blue:  
Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.  
When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image  
appears greener.  
To adjust the tint, enable “blue only” display mode in the Diagnostics menu, as you would  
for adjusting color saturation (refer to the previous section, Color Saturation).  
Select Tint from the Picture menu and press ENTER. Adjust the tint level until the cyan  
and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of  
blue.  
Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls  
are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the  
other in order to achieve the optimum setting.

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust  
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. On your external  
test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5. Adjust as needed,  
looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines  
in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate  
them.

Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Picture  
menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.  
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction,  
keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the  
image.  
Use the controls in the Input Position Menu to fine-tune the aspect ratio and image  
position for the current source.  
The input position settings are automatically saved for each input  
and resolution.

Height: Select Height from the Input Position menu to change the projected image  
height. Press to increase the height; press to decrease it.  
Overscan/Overscan Mode: Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture  
area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display area.  
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  
trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to  
fill the display area.  
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or  
desirable.  
This control defines the amount of overscan applied to the image. The range is from  
0 to 20. There are two overscan modes:  
• In Crop mode, each increment adds a mask at the top, bottom, left and right edges of  
the source image equal to 0.5% of the displayed horizontal resolution (1% total). A  
setting of 10, for example, crops the image 5% on all sides or 10% total.  
• In Zoom mode, each increment adds a factor to the scaling of the source image so  
that the vertical and horizontal resolutions are 100% plus 1% increments of the size  
determined by the aspect ratio function. A setting of 10, for example, zooms in on the  
image 5% on all sides or 10% total.  
Figure 4-6 illustrates the effect of each overscan mode setting.

Phase (RGB, Component or SCART sources): This control adjusts the phase of the  
pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB,  
Component or SCART image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been  
optimized.  
Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below).  
Tip  
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, Component or SCART 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.  
For each input, the DHD Controller lets you save image quality settings as presets that you  
can recall at a later time. You can create up to four presets per input and display mode  
(resolution and frame rate).

ISF Settings  
Note  
To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the  
Memory Presets menu (see page 62) or use the corresponding remote control buttons.  
Display Color: Use the Display Color settings to adjust the color balance at the DHD  
Controller output. These settings are saved independently for each input and display  
mode.  
• Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the  
image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white  
areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red (Pr),  
green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Gain for that color.  
• Offset: Use the Offset controls to correct 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 (Pr),  
green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Offset for that color.  
Gamma: Select Gamma from the Display Color menu to choose a de-gamma curve.  
Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good  
details for blacks and whites. 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 unnatural, with excessive detail in black  
areas, increase the setting.  
Mode: With the SC-50d/SC-60d, two Gamma adjustment modes are available:  
Simple or Advanced. The two modes are mutually exclusive; when you select the  
Simple mode, the Advanced selection in the Gamma menu is grayed out. Likewise,  
when you select Advanced, the Simple selection is grayed out.  
Simple: Use the Simple Gamma control to perform gamma correction at the display  
according to a simple power law gamma function. The value chosen here  
corresponds to the power variable in this equation:  
Output = InputPower  
The DHD Controller applies this gamma curve to all three primary color channels  
(red, green and blue).  
Advanced: To select a custom gamma curve, select Mode from the Gamma menu  
and set it to Advanced. Then, select Advanced from the Gamma menu to select one  
of up to 20 pre-programmed gamma tables. Custom gamma tables provide the  
ability to perform complex, non-linear gamma correction on each primary color  
channel independently of the others.

• Lamp: Select Lamp from the Display Color menu to adjust the projector lamp  
brightness.  
Mode: With the SC-50d/SC-60d, two lamp adjustment modes are available: Power  
(recommended) or Intensity. The two modes are mutually exclusive; when you select  
the Power mode, the Intensity selection in the Lamp menu is grayed out. Likewise,  
when you select Intensity, the Power selection is grayed out.  
Power: To supply a constant wattage to the lamp, select Mode from the Lamp  
menu and set it to Power. Then, select Power from the Lamp menu to set the lamp  
power level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (this is the default  
setting) or you can choose a lower setting. Generally, lower lamp output prolongs  
the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.  
Intensity: To maintain a constant brightness level, select Mode from the Lamp  
menu and set it to Intensity. Then, select Intensity from the Lamp menu to specify  
the desired brightness level. The projector automatically adjusts the amount of  
power applied to the lamp as needed to maintain the desired brightness level.

temperature. Color temperature establishes the “color of gray” by adjusting the 75%  
white point to various color points.  
What are “color points?” A “color point” is an x/y coordinate pair that defines a  
color’s location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in Figure 4-7. (CIE  
stands for “Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage” (International Commission on  
Illumination), the organization responsible for color measurement and management  
standards.)

• RVR: Use the RVR control to increase or decrease the Reflectance Volume Regulation  
setting. RVR lets you adjust the aperture or iris size (the physical opening through the  
lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to optimize brightness  
and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the viewing area.  
Use a lower setting (larger aperture = higher brightness) for rooms with a lot of ambient  
light. Use a higher setting (smaller aperture = higher contrast) for more “theater-like”  
viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).  
RVR can only be used with the “Power” Lamp Mode setting (refer

menu settings, whose values represent offsets from the Input  
Image settings. For example, if you set Brightness to 10 in this  
menu, setting Brightness to 10 in the Picture menu results in an  
actual setting value of 20 (10+10).  
Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see  
above), but adjust the color balance of the incoming signal. These settings are also saved  
independently for each input and display mode.  
• Gain/Offset (HD1, HD2 and Component/SCART inputs only): These controls  
operate similarly to those in the Display Color menu (described on page 65), but affect  
the Y, Pb and Pr signal components rather than the red, green and blue channels.  
• Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a  
composite video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the  
left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect. If  
necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them.  
• Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the  
Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i  
video sources.  
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction,  
keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften”  
the image.

should always save it. Select Save ISF Night or Save ISF Day from the Calibration menu to  
do this.  
Copy/Paste: You can copy and paste settings from one memory location to another.  
This gives you a convenient starting point for creating a new preset based on an existing  
one, to make the calibration process less time-consuming.  
For example, you can use the Copy/Paste feature to:  
• Apply settings from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2, or from HD1 to HD2.

If you prefer to do this manually, set it to Off. The DHD Controller will ask if you want  
to perform the upgrade the next time it is power-cycled.  
Check For New Firmware: To have the DHD Controller check for new firmware on  
demand (and perform an upgrade if it finds a new version), select Check For New  
Firmware from the Auto Firmware Upgrade menu. If the DHD Controller finds a new  
firmware version, select Yes to perform the upgrade or No to return to the previous  
menu.

This setting has no effect on the E-Mail Notification or Auto  
Note  
Display Device - Auto Calibration: Auto Calibration is a process in which the projector  
quickly optimizes critical display parameters such as size, position and pixel tracking,  
based on the type of incoming video signal. Auto Calibration allows you to quickly get the  
image “in the ballpark” after which you can perform further calibration, if necessary.  
To perform an Auto Calibration, select Display Device from the Service Menu. Then,  
select Auto Calibration and set it to Yes.  
What an “Auto Calibration” Does: Auto Calibration sets the following parameters to  
their default values:  
• Contrast and Brightness  
• Auto Input Level (off)  
• Detail (if video source)  
• Filter  
• Luma Delay  
Auto Calibration also optimizes the following settings, based on the characteristics of the  
incoming signal:  
• Pixel Tracking  
• Pixel Phase  
• Size and Blanking  
• Vertical Stretch  
• Position  
• Input Levels  
If additional fine-tuning is necessary after performing an Auto Calibration, use the controls  
in the Picture menu (refer to page 56) or Calibration menu (refer to page 65).

Color Space: Select Color Space from the Service menu to choose the color space of  
the source signal for HDMI, RGB, and component connections.  
• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:  
HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or  
range data, the DHD Controller uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources,  
the DHD Controller 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 DHD Controller 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 DHD Controller 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 DHD Controller 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.  
Triggers: Select Triggers from the Service menu to configure the 12-volt trigger outputs.  
You can assign one or more trigger outputs to each aspect ratio. Those triggers are then  
activated by selecting that aspect ratio.  
Miscellaneous: Select Miscellaneous from the Service menu to set the following options:  
Language: Select Language from the Miscellaneous menu and press the up- or  
down-arrows to select the OSD Language (English, Français, Deutsch, Italiano,  
Español, Svenska, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Português or Russian).  
• OSD Timer: Select OSD Timer from the Miscellaneous menu to set the OSD Timer,  
which controls how long the menus remain on-screen after selecting them. Select from  
5 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments. Or, set the timer to 0 (disabled) if you want  
the menus to remain on-screen indefinitely.  
• OSD Messages: When you select a new aspect ratio, input source or memory preset,  
the DHD Controller briefly displays an on-screen message confirming your new  
selection. To prevent the display of these messages, select OSD Messages from the  
Miscellaneous menu to and set it to Off.  
select the color that appears when no incoming signal is present. The range is from 0  
to 255 inclusive for each color component (red, green and blue).  
Sidebar Color: Select Sidebar Color from the Miscellaneous menu to change the  
color of the inactive image area. The range is from 0 to 255 inclusive for each color  
component (red, green and blue). The inactive image area is on either side of the active  
image area when using the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Film Mode: Use Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced,  
standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the DHD Controller detects the proper  
“pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing  
you may want to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.  
• CUE (Chroma Upsampling Error) Correction: Some DVD players use MPEG  
decoders that do not correctly “upsample” the 4:2:0 format chroma information on the  
DVD to the 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 format required by the video encoder of the display device.  
This so-called “chroma bug” sometimes causes streaky or spiky horizontal lines  
running through the chroma channel. It is most noticeable in static, interlaced scenes  
and on diagonal edges (especially red ones). Set CUE to On to correct this issue.  
Remote Code: Select Remote Code from the Miscellaneous menu to set the infrared  
(IR) code set to which the DHD Controller will respond. By default, it is set to 17. You  
can change this setting if either:  
• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to  
commands from the DHD Controller remote control (Figure 2-5) in ways that are  
unpredictable or undesirable.  
• You have multiple DHD Controllers and want to control them independently, as  
opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this  
scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or,  
you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a  
specific DHD Controller.  
Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change the IR code to  
which the controller will respond. Then, change the code sent by the  
remote to match as described below.  
Tip  
When you change a remote code on the DHD Controller, you must re-program the  
DHD Controller remote control to send that same code. To do this:  
1. Press and hold the LIGHT button on the  
LIGHT  
remote control for approximately three  
seconds, or until the LED on the remote lights  
solid red.  
ON  
OFF  
2. Enter a new two-digit code between 00 and 31  
inclusive. Include a leading zero for single-digit  
codes; for example, enter 9 as “09.”  
3. The LED turns off to confirm the code change. If you enter an invalid code, the LED  
flashes for three or four seconds. Try again, entering a valid code.

Sync Threshold: Select Sync Threshold to adjust the threshold at which negative pulses  
on the component video green/luma channel are interpreted to be sync pulses.  
Sync Threshold 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 display device won’t sync with the source at all.  
The range is from 0 (approximately 60 millivolts (mV)) to 15 (approximately 300 mV).  
HDMI: Select HDMI from the Service menu to set the following options affecting  
communication between HDMI sources, the DHD Controller and the SC-50d/SC-60d.  
HDMI EDID Extension: Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure  
provided by a display device to describe its capabilities to a graphics card. It is what  
enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected.  
Some modern display devices provide more information via EDID than others, in the  
form of “extensions.” Some computer graphics cards do recognize or properly interpret  
this extended EDID information.  
Select HDMI EDID Extension from the HDMI menu to specify whether or not the EDID  
extensions from the display device are passed through to the 3Dimension Processor  
and to the sources connected to the HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 inputs. By  
default, the extensions are on. Change these settings only if HDMI EDID incompatibility  
issues arise.  
• Audio Format: Select Audio Format from the HDMI menu to choose an option for  
routing the audio signal from an HDMI source. With the SC-50d/SC-60d, the  
recommended setting is HDMI Out (Audio Only). (This is also the default setting.)  
• CEC: This control chooses whether or not the DHD Controller responds to HDMI CEC  
control messages from a disc player, set-top box or other HDMI source.  
The default setting is On. For more information about CEC, refer to Using HDMI CEC  
The DHD Controller does not transmit HDMI CEC control  
messages from the “HDMI Audio Out” connector, regardless of the  
CEC setting.

6. External Control  
In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there  
are three methods of controlling the SC-50d/SC-60d and DHD Controller 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 DHD Controller 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 DHD Controller and an  
automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software.  
6.1  
Serial Communications  
Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232 input of the DHD Controller as shown  
RS-232 Connection and  
Port Configuration  
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop  
bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the DHD Controller  
RS-232 port.  
Serial commands to the DHD Controller take the following form:  
• Commands are not case-sensitive.  
Serial Command Syntax  
• For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a  
carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type  
LETTERBOX <Enter>.  
• For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a  
comma and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the  
brightness to -10, type BRIGHTNESS -10 <Enter>or  
BRIGHTNESS,-10 <Enter>.  
• You can also send a string of multiple commands on a single line, separated by  
commas. For example, COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS 50,16:9 <Enter>switches to  
the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 50 and sets the aspect ratio to 16:9.  
Command strings can be up to 255 characters long.  
Avoid combining the ONor POWER 1commands with other commands  
Note  
on a single line. After sending ONor POWER 1, allow at least five (5)  
seconds for the DHD Controller to power up. If you have enabled the  
ISF splash screen (refer to Splash Configure on page 69), allow 15  
seconds for the DHD Controller to power up.  
Once it does, it will accept and properly execute multiple serial  
commands.

Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the  
valid parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters.  
When you enter a valid command, the DHD Controller executes it and acknowledges it  
with a plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one  
that is misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the  
DHD Controller ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).

the IR remote only you’ll be doing so via serial commands. These commands provide active OSD  
responses just like the IR remote.

The DHD Controller accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the  
Phillips RC5 protocol. Each DHD Controller remote control button has an RC5 control  
code associated with it.  
6.2  
Using Discrete IR  
Codes  
You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work  
with the DHD Controller. These third-party products usually come with a computer  
software application for this purpose. For more information, consult the documentation  
provided with the remote control unit.  
IR Command Protocol  
The IR control codes have the following characteristics:  
• Each code consists of 14 bits:  
• Two (2) start bits (always 1);  
• A toggle bit. This bit is inverted every time a key is released and pressed again. This  
allows the DHD Controller to distinguish between a button that remains down and  
one that is pressed repeatedly.  
• Five (5) address bits. The default address is 17 (binary 10001). To change it, select  
Remote Code from the Miscellaneous menu (in the Service menu) and follow the  
steps given on page 77.  
• Six (6) data bits.  
• The carrier frequency is 36 kHz, with the modulated pulses having a 25% duty cycle.  
• Commands are sent at a maximum rate of 9 Hz.

The DHD Controller accepts and can respond to CEC command messages from a disc  
player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using CEC, the DHD  
Controller can perform the following actions:  
6.3  
Using HDMI CEC  
Messages  
• Turn itself and the display device on and select the correct input when the source  
component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program.  
• Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the DHD  
Controller.  
• Turn the source component off when the DHD Controller is turned off (unless the  
source component is in playback mode).  
• Change its OSD language when a similar change is made at the source.  
To use CEC, connect your CEC-compatible sources to the HDMI inputs on the  
SC-50d/SC-60d. Set the CEC option to On (refer to CEC on page 78). Additional steps  
may be needed to enable CEC at the source. Refer to the documentation for your source  
device for more information.
