Important Information  
Precautions  
Warnings and Safety Precaution  
Please read this manual carefully before using your plasma  
monitor and keep the manual handy for future reference.  
This plasma monitor is designed and  
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.  
No maintenance other than cleaning is required.  
Please see the section Plasma monitor cleaning  
procedureon the next page.  
CAUTION  
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture  
elements (cells) with more than 99.99 percent active  
cells. There may be some cells that do not produce  
light or remain lit.  
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,  
read carefully and observe the following instructions.  
To avoid shock and fire hazards:  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
CAUTION:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC  
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO  
USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.  
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED  
SERVICE PERSONNEL.  
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal  
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit  
in a closed cabinet or shelves.  
This symbol warns the user that uninsulated  
voltage within the unit may have sufficient  
magnitude to cause electric shock.  
Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind  
of contact with any part inside of this unit.  
If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there  
is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air  
to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the  
overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will  
be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the  
monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where  
the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the  
monitor to a cooler location, and wait for 60 minutes to  
cool the monitor. If the problem persists, contact your  
dealer for service.  
This symbol alerts the user that important  
literature concerning the operation and  
maintenance of this unit has been included.  
Therefore, it should be read carefully in  
order to avoid any problems.  
2. Do not use this units polarized plug with extension cords  
or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.  
3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.  
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to  
modify the power cord.  
5. Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or if  
the unit will not be used over a long period.  
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous  
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in  
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a  
serious risk of electric shock.  
WARNING  
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOTEXPOSE  
THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. ALSO DO NOT USE  
THIS UNITS POLARIZED PLUG WITHAN EXTENSION CORD  
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLETS, UNLESS THE  
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED. REFRAIN FROM  
OPENING THE CABINET AS THERE ARE HIGH-VOLTAGE  
COMPONENTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED  
SERVICE PERSONNEL.  
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. The  
manufacturer is not liable for any bodily harm or damage  
caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open  
the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Service  
Centers.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:  
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.  
Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120Volts  
AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause  
a fire hazard.  
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not  
drop.  
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct  
sunlight.  
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small  
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the power  
cord and have it serviced by an authorized Service  
Center.  
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes  
flaws on the surface of the screen.  
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly  
recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer.  
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a  
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually  
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.  
8. To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to  
place the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot  
spring bath.  
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in:  
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas  
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to  
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain  
operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a  
static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in  
phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To protect  
your investment in this plasma monitor, please adhere to the  
following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing  
the occurrence of image burn:  
* Always enable and use your computers screen saver  
function during use with a computer input source.  
* Display a moving image whenever possible.  
* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.  
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished  
using it.  
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous  
operation take the following measures to reduce the  
likelihood of phosphor burn:  
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as  
possible without impairing image readability.  
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations  
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).  
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light  
and dark areas, for example white characters on black  
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever  
possible.  
Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:  
1. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel  
area. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to  
clean these surfaces.  
2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner  
with a soft brush nozzle attachment.  
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,  
sharply defined borders between colors.  
3. To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation  
areas must be carried out monthly. More frequent cleaning  
may be necessary depending on the environment in which  
the plasma monitor is installed.  
* Note:Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.  
Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that  
will best suit your particular application needs.

THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY  
For Plasma Display Monitors  
Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco video product and welcome to the Runco family! We believe  
Runco produces “The World’s Finest Home Theater Products”. With proper installation, setup and care, you  
should enjoy many years of unparalleled video performance.  
This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and  
retain it with your other important documents.  
WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:  
SERVICE LABOR: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed as  
a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of delivery to the end  
user (excluding the plasma glass panel).  
PARTS: (Not including plasma glass panel) Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts  
that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of  
delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if  
any) of the original warranty period.  
PLASMA GLASS PANEL: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when  
needed as a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery  
to the end user. In addition, Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to  
defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end  
user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original  
warranty period.  
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:  
Image burn-in on plasma display panels are specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.  
Image burn-in is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the terms of this  
Limited Warranty.  
TO AVOID IMAGE BURN-IN:  
Please ensure that still images are left on your plasma display panel for no more than a few minutes. Also  
ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information  
is present on the left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent  
permanent image burns on your plasma display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain conditions  
once burn-in has occurred.  
The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool bars  
and icons. (This is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from burning into  
the monitor’s phosphors after being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).  
Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for  
extended periods of time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD players  
are also equipped with screen savers for this reason.  
This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal  
use and does not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any appearance  
items; failure resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper  
installation or setup adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal; damage  
due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or transit; or  
damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote control units, damage resulting from leaking,  
old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.

CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM  
AND INSTALLED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY  
EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING  
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED  
FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.  
RIGHTS, LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:  
Runco limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the  
warranty period. There are no express warranties. Runco also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental  
or consequential damages related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow  
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation  
of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This  
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.  
EFFECTIVE WARRANTY DATE:  
This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original  
bill of sale as evidence of the purchase date.

PFP™ Controller Installation & Overall Description  
The PL-61cx system consists of the PFP Controller and the PL-61cx Plasma monitor. This system is  
unique in the way it is controlled; the control center for this system is located within the PFP™ Controller.  
The Controller tells the Plasma to turn on or off, controls its brightness, contrast, color temperature and  
more. All of this is accomplished by Runco's unique ComLink, which is the transfer of information between  
the Controller and the Plasma via their ComLink ports (on an RJ-11 cable). Therefore, only the PFP™  
Controller's remote control is necessary to control all aspects of this system. In a nutshell, this is a fully inte-  
grated video display system, of which its components all work together to bring you the video quality and  
functionality needed in a quality home theater.  
Besides being the system's control center, the PFP Controller is also a high-quality scaler, which outputs all  
signals in the native resolution of the PL-61cx Plasma monitor. The Composite, S-video and Component  
(non-progressive) signals are sent through the PFP™ Controller's 10-bit decoder, de-interlaced then scaled  
to the native resolution of the Plasma. This method of scaling is the most efficient and provides the best  
results since the Plasma does not have to do any 're-scaling'.  
In the next chapter, the menu system will be described in detail. There are many adjustments available to  
perfect the PL-61cx's image, including typical 'front-panel controls' as well as color temperature and other  
image-quality controls.

While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your PFP Controller, the exam-  
ples shown above are the most common and are recommended by Runco.  
• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT:  
Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality. Many  
sources have outputs that are limited to Composite video, such as some VCR’s and camcorders. Others,  
such as Laser Disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using Composite video. While the  
PFP Controller has an excellent decoder for Composite video, it is recommended that Composite video be  
used only if necessary.  
• S-VIDEO INPUT  
S-Video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than Composite video. Using  
such sources as satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with no Component output) will-  
produce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal. Decoder artifacts that are associated with Composite video  
(dot crawl and ‘rainbows’) are non-existent when using S-Video.  
• COMPONENT INPUT  
Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that use  
Component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that Component be used when possi-  
ble. Component video goes one step beyond S-Video in picture quality; chroma (color) information is more  
resolved and the overall picture appears more well-defined.  
• HDTV/COMPUTER  
All HDTV signals must be input into this port. It may also be used for other high-resolution signals such as  
progressive DVD players or computers.

The menu tree above is an overall glance at the menu system in the PL-61cx.  
The description of the menus and their functions are below.  
Main Menu  
The main menu includes three main sections: INPUT SELECT (Composite, S-video, Component,  
HD Component, HD RGB), ASPECT RATIO SELECT and INSTALLER ADJUST.  
These menus are described in detail below:  
INPUT SELECT is done by highlighting the desired source with the up or down arrows and pressing  
ENTER. Sources may also be selected by pressing the left or right arrows on the front panel or remote,  
or by one of the direct access buttons on the remote. High Definition or progressive DVD  
signals are input to the HDTV port.  
ASPECT RATIO SELECT is done by highlighting 'Aspect Ratio' on the main menu and pressing  
enter. The Aspect Ratio menu will then appear; and either ANAMORPHIC, STANDARD 4:3,  
LETTERBOX or VIRTUAL WIDE may be selected. Aspect ratios may also be selected by pressing either  
the up or down arrow buttons, or by one of the direct access buttons on the remote.  
INSTALLER ADJUST is used for adjustments usually made during the initial installation. This  
includes Image Shift, Blanking, Side Bar Level and IR Code Select.

INSTALLER ADJUST*  
Picture quality adjustments (also known as "Front Panel Controls") are the controls that change different parameters  
of the image such as the amount of color, black level, etc. While these adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the  
user, there is a way to set these properly. This section will describe what each function does and how to adjust them  
properly.  
To access the picture quality adjustments, press MENU, highlight the active source (indicated by the arrow) and press  
ENTER. The picture quality sub-menu will then appear (see above).  
To make an adjustment to a particular function, highlight the function with the up or down arrow  
buttons and press ENTER. Once the function is on-screen (i.e. brightness), pressing the UP arrow button on the  
remote or front panel will increase the value of that function; pressing the DOWN arrow on the remote or front panel  
will decrease the value of that function.  
While each of the picture quality adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a  
'proper' way to set the adjustments. For setting TINT and COLOR, please refer to the color bar test pattern below.  
NOTE: Runco recommends that a BLUE FILTER be used so only the blue color bars can be seen. Blue filters are pro-  
vided with the Video Essentials or AVIA test DVDs, or can be purchased from the Imaging Science Foundation  
(www.imagingscience.com).

TINT (also known as 'hue') is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.  
If TINT is decreased, the image will appear redder, and increasing it will cause the image to appear green-  
er. To set TINT properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter. Adjust TINT until the middle two  
tall color bars match the middle short color bars (see color bar drawing).  
COLOR (also known as 'saturation') increases or decreases the amount of color in the image.  
To set COLOR properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter. Adjust COLOR until the outer two  
tall color bars match the outer short color bars (see color bar drawing).  
For setting CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS, please refer to the PLUGE pattern below:  
Set contrast  
until there is  
no 'blooming'  
in this bar.  
Below black  
Above black  
CONTRAST adjusts the white level of the image. Adjust contrast until there is a distinct definition between  
the two brightest bars.  
NOTE: For best results, Runco recommends that CONTRAST be set to 'midrange' or very close to it.  
BRIGHTNESS adjusts the black level of the image. To adjust this properly, adjust BRIGHTNESS until the  
'below black' bar JUST disappears, but the 'above black' bar is still barely visible.  
NOTE: Some DVD players cannot pass the 'blacker than black' bar (they won't pass PLUGE), and that bar  
will never be visible. In a case like this, adjust the 'above black' bar until it is slightly brighter than the back-  
ground that surrounds it.

SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the prefer-  
ence of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become  
'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear 'noisy' if  
adjusted too high.  
LUMA ENHANCE acts as an edge enhancement, especially around black to white transitions in the image.  
Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects far more that  
the rest of the image.  
FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the LUMA ENHANCE feature. For example, if using  
a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set to LOW. For a good quali-  
ty source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH. To set FREQUENCIES, press ENTER while  
LUMA ENHANCE is on-screen.  
Note: Luma Enhance will only appear in the menu after the installation mode has been enabled.  
CHROMA ENHANCE acts as an edge enhancement, especially around color transitions in the image.  
Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects far more that  
the rest of the image.  
FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the CHROMA ENHANCE feature. For example, if  
using a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set to LOW. For a good  
quality source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH. To set FREQUENCIES, press ENTER  
while CHROMA ENHANCE is on-screen.  
Note: Chroma Enhance will only appear in the menu after the installation mode has been enabled.  
COLOR BALANCE sets the overall color temperature of the image. When Color Balance is selected, you  
will get a menu with Red Gain, Green Gain, Blue Gain, Red Offset, Green Offset and Blue Offset. The Gain  
Controls increase or decrease the amount of that color in the brightest areas of the image; the Offset  
Controls affect the darkest areas. This should be adjusted using a gray scale or Pluge pattern for best  
results.  
Note: Color Balance will only appear in the menu after the installation mode has been enabled.

Installation Menu  
The Installation menu is where you can adjust the image orientation, adjust keystone and even check the age of  
the lamp in the Plasma.  
When the Controller is turned on for the first time, the INSTALLATION item will not appear in the main menu.  
To enable the INSTALLATION menu, there are two options:  
· With the processor ON and no menus on-screen, simultaneously press the ENTER, UP and LEFT buttons (you  
don't need to hold them down). Release the three buttons and press MENU, ensure INSTALLER ADJUST is now  
on the bottom of the main menu.  
· With the remote control, press button 6 (with no menus on-screen). After pressing '6', press MENU and ensure  
INSTALLER ADJUST is now on the bottom of the main menu.  
After INSTALLER MODE has been accessed, press MENU, highlight INSTALLER ADJUST and press ENTER.  
This will bring up the INSTALLATION MENU, shown here:  
Once the installation mode has been enabled, you will also be able to  
access Luma Enhance, Chroma Enhance and Color Balance. These  
items will not appear anywhere in the menu until the installation mode  
is enabled.

Side Bar Level  
Phosphor-based displays such as Plasma (flat panel) displays, can be 'burned' by still-images or otherwise not  
using the full display or raster. Examples of this include ATM's, where the bank logo is permanently burned into  
the display. This is also the reason why most Plasma manufacturers strongly recommend against the use of video  
games with projection televisions, as many video games have still images in them.  
Besides still images, using a 4:3 image on a widescreen display could cause a '4:3 burn'  
(see below):

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The example on the previous page shows what would happen on a widescreen display if a small 4:3 image were used  
more often than widescreen images.  
To minimize this problem, the PL-61cx can provide SIDE BARS, which will put grey bars up on either side of a small  
4:3 image (see 'side bar area' in the drawing above). This illuminates the otherwise unused portion of the display, min-  
imizing a potential 4:3 burn.  
SIDE BAR LEVEL is the amount of illumination in the side bars. The goal is not to make them so bright that they are  
much brighter than the 4:3 image itself (which could cause a reverse 4:3 burn), but not too dim where they cannot be  
effective. While there is not a recommended level, Runco recommends keeping the side bar level at a moderate level,  
approximately the same as the average light used on the 4:3 portion of the image.  
To use side bar level, it will be necessary to 'unblank' the left and right sides of the image. Please follow this proce-  
dure to set side bar level:  
·
·
·
·
Ensure an active source is displayed on the screen or display.  
Select the standard (4:3) aspect ratio.  
Access the INSTALLATION menu, highlight BLANKING and press ENTER.  
Highlight LEFT with the up or down arrow buttons, then press and hold the left arrow button. You will begin to see  
the sidebar slowly appear on the left side.  
NOTE: If you do not see the sidebar begin to appear, increase the Side Bar Level and retry. Continue holding  
down the left arrow button until the left sidebar fills the left side of the screen.  
·
·
When the left side is fully unblanked, perform the same procedure for the right side.  
Once both sides are fully unblanked, you can set the level of the sidebars. Highlight SIDE BAR LEVEL on the  
INSTALLATION menu and press ENTER. Use the up arrow button to increase the illumination of the side  
bars, or the down arrow to decrease their illumination.  
NOTE: It is recommended that an active image be displayed on-screen, and the level of the sidebars be set  
to match the average amount of illumination on the 4:3 portion of the image.

Invert  
If an image has been accidentally 'burned' into the display, the INVERT function will invert the colors so as to try to  
neutralize any 'burn' in the image. For example, white areas will become black, black areas will become white, etc.  
In order for this to be effective, you MUST have the exact same image on-screen that was burned into the image, and  
it must be in the exact same place (ensure it was not electronically shifted). The amount of time the invert feature  
should be left on depends on the severity of the burn. Runco recommends that if you know how long the image was  
left on, leave the image 'inverted' for 50% of that time and re-evaluate the burn. Otherwise, leave it on for increments  
of an hour or two and re-evaluate the burn each time.

Output Shift  
The OUTPUT SHIFT function shifts the entire image (including sidebars) up, down left or right. When you are center-  
ing the overall image, use output shift. If an image needs to be centered within the sidebars, use INPUT SHIFT (see  
below).  
Input Shift  
The INPUT SHIFT function shifts the video signal before it is processed. This is very effective if using a source that  
either is slightly out of phase or is otherwise off-center in relation to other sources. Examples of this include Satellite  
TV signals, or the output of a TIVO recorder. (TIVO users may find that a black bar exists on the right side of the  
image. If so, use INPUT SHIFT to move the image to the right).  
IR Code Select  
If the remote control loses its 'memory' as a result of weak or dead  
batteries, it must be re-programmed for the PFP Controller's code set.  
PWR  
To reprogram the remote to the default IR Code Set, press the  
PROGRAM button followed by 0,1,3. If you have set the Controller for  
a different Code Set, enter that number instead of 0,1,3.

Note: Pressing Enter after typing in the code is not necessary.  
To troubleshoot remote control problems, change the code by access-  
ing the IR Code Set in the Installation Menu.IR Code Set allows the  
installer to choose from one of four different sets of IR codes. If the  
default code has commands that are conflicting other equipment, try  
using one of the other code sets.

When IR CODE SET is selected in the menu, you will get four code set  
options- 013, 215, 510 and 918. These numbers correspond to the  
number that is programmed into the remote control itself. For example,  
if you wish to use IR code set 510, you would first select '510 code set'  
from the menu, then program the remote for code 510 (as described  
above). You may also disable the IR receiver on the Controller all  
together by selecting 'Deactivated'. In the event the Controller has  
been reset, the IR code set will default to 013.

Blanking  
The BLANKING function allows you to 'cut off' part of the image to fit the screen properly, or to eliminate anomalies on  
the extreme outsides (usually the top) of the image. This can be done to the top, bottom, left or right sides individual-  
ly.

To adjust BLANKING, highlight the desired area you wish to blank (top, bottom, left or right), and use the left and right  
arrows to make the adjustment.  
System Reset  
In the event that your PL-61cx appears to have a software problem, or adjustments have been made so far out of  
range that the image is no longer on-screen or discernable, you can reset the processor back to factory values. This  
sets ALL settings back to factory values, so any adjustments made previously will be lost.  
To reset your PL-61cx, follow this procedure:  
· Turn off the MAIN POWER switch on the back of the processor  
· Hold down the DOWN ARROW button, and turn the MAIN POWER SWITCH back on.Continue holding the  
down arrow button until the LED on the front panel blinks, then release the down arrow button.  
Once this is done, your processor has been completely reset to factory values. After resetting the unit, Composite video  
will be the active source.  
SYSTEM RESET is not on any of the menus; it must be performed using the instructions above.

PFP™ Controller RS-232 Communications  
General Information  
Baud rate: 9600 (fixed)  
Bits: 8  
No Parity  
All protocol in ASCII format  
RS-232 input connector pin numbers:  
TxD= Pin# 2  
RxD= Pin# 3  
GnD= Pin# 5  
Command format (single command): command value (i.e. brightness 30).  
NOTE: A space (not an underscore) or comma may be used between the command and its value.  
Command string format: command,command value, command etc.  
(i.e. COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS 30,ANAMORPHIC, CARRIAGE RETURN)  
NOTE: In between commands, a comma must be used; a comma or space may be used in between  
a command and its value. A carriage return must be used at the end of a command or string.  
Other notes:  
· A carriage return is required at the end of each command or string.  
· For Command strings, a maximum of 255 characters can be used in a single string.  
· If it is necessary to input multiple commands, they should all be together in a single string. Inputting com-  
mands one at a time requires a 15 second delay between commands, as the information is stored into non-  
volatile memory after each command.  
· For values not automatically stored (see next paragraph), the command "!STORE" must be sent in order  
for the PFP Controller to keep the settings. Otherwise, the values will be considered temporary and will  
revert to their stored settings upon source change or power-up.  
· The Value Stored column refers to a command that is either automatically stored or if it must be manu-  
ally stored with the "!STORE" command.  
· PARAMETER min/max refers to a function's minimum and maximum value range. Inputting  
values above or below their range may cause unpredictable (but not fatal) results. If NA appears in this col-  
umn, the NA numerical parameter needs to be included with the command itself.
