THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY  
For Plasma Displays  
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 is 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.  
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.  
TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (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).  
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 RUNCO AUTHORIZED  
DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY.

MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS  
SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT INSTALLATION  
AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RUNCO DEALER TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER  
THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH YOUR RUNCO  
PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY RUNCO AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.  
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.  
IMPORTANT -- WARRANTY REGISTRATION:  
Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Runco knows how to reach you promptly if we  
should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.  
CONTACT A RUNCO AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER TO OBTAIN SERVICE:  
Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Runco video product will be performed at the location of  
the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating distance from a Runco  
Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Runco factory for  
repairs. If, solely in Runco’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest  
Runco Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Runco factory, it is the owner’s  
responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Runco  
Dealer. If this is not possible, contact Runco directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Runco will  
return product transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping  
costs will be the responsibility of the owner.

The CinemaWall Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor combines high-resolution quality and  
affordability into one package. It has all of the features that one has come to expect from a  
Runco product, including high-quality video processing, aspect ratio control and ease of  
use. The advanced Runco processing inside the CinemaWall combined with its high  
native resolution allows the most accurate scaling for all types of signals, including DVD  
(progressive or interlaced), all currently-available HDTV formats and computers.  
1.3  
Description, Features  
and Benefits  
For video originally made in film, the CinemaWall has built-in 3:2 pulldown for the sharpest  
and most artifact-free images possible. Like all Runco plasmas, it can be mounted on a  
wall, ceiling or placed on a tabletop and is bright enough for use in any lighting situation:  
its size is such that it can be the centerpiece of many home theaters.  
The CinemaWall offers a resolution of either 1365 x 768 (Models SP-50 and SP-60) or  
1024 x 768 (Model SP-42). Both models include Runco’s discrete aspect ratio control  
with VirtualWide™ mode to fill a 16:9 screen with standard 4:3 images without loss of  
picture quality. Also included are discrete source selection, multi-language support and an  
RS-232 interface for whole-house or automated control system integration.  
The CinemaWall Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor has been carefully engineered with  
ISF™ calibration standards for superb video performance. At less than five inches deep, it  
can be wall-mounted or used on a tabletop stand.  
For high-altitude installations, Runco also offers the SP-42xa, SP-50xa and SP-60xa with  
industry-leading high-altitude compliance to over 9000 feet (2,740 meters) mean sea level  
(MSL). The SP-42xa, SP-50xa and SP-60xa share all other features and specifications  
with the SP-42, SP-50 and SP-60 respectively.  
The CinemaWall offers these key features and benefits:

Proper installation of your CinemaWall will ensure the highest possible picture quality.  
Whether you are installing the CinemaWall temporarily or permanently, you should take  
the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.  
3.3  
Installation  
Considerations  
High-Altitude Operation  
Due to the design of all plasma glass panels made by every manufacturer, and the  
interaction between ambient air pressure and the plasma gases contained inside of the  
panel, reliable operation of your plasma display cannot be assured during operation at  
certain high-altitude locations.  
Runco has found the SP-42, SP-50 and SP-60 to operate reliably at altitudes of up to  
6000 feet MSL (mean sea level). The SP-42xa, SP-50xa and SP-60xa have been found to  
operate reliably at altitudes of up to 9000 feet MSL.  
At higher elevations, each panel may react differently, depending upon the altitude, air  
pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors. If you are planning to use this  
product at a location above 9000 feet, please contact Runco technical support for further  
information.  
Mounting the CinemaWall  
on a Wall or Table Stand  
To install the CinemaWall, you will need either an optional table stand or wall-mounting kit.  
The CinemaWall cannot be installed on its own.  
If you do decide to wall-mount the CinemaWall, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is  
installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of  
supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be  
reinforced.  
Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.  
Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit or table stand that is  
specifically designed for your display (refer to Optional  
Note  
You can attach your optional mounts or stand to the CinemaWall in either of two ways:  
• While it is upright.  
16  
Runco CinemaWall SP Series Owner’s Operating Manual

• As it lies flat with the screen face  
down. Place the protective sheet,  
which was wrapped around the  
plasma monitor when it was  
packaged, between the screen and  
your work surface to avoid  
scratching or otherwise damaging  
the screen surface.  
In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast ratio in your  
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the display, 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.  
Ambient Light  
Ventilation  
If you are mounting the CinemaWall in an enclosure, leave at least 2 inches (50 mm) of  
space on all sides between it and surrounding objects, as shown in Figure 3-2. This allows  
heat to disperse, maintaining the proper operating temperature.

Other Considerations  
Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation, avoid damage and  
prolong operating life:  
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the display away  
from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in  
the display circuitry, which may affect performance.  
• Keep the CinemaWall away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as  
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,  
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.  
• Handle the unit carefully when installing it. When carrying it, use the built-in handles; DO  
NOT touch or hold the screen face.  
• Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.  
• 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 Runco Service Center.  
• Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the  
screen.  
• For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained,  
authorized dealer.  
• To avoid sulfurization, it is strongly recommended not to place the unit in a dressing  
room in a public bath or hot spring bath.

Notes:  
1. Menu items in italics appear only when the CinemaWall is in Installer Adjust mode. Picture and Screen settings made in Installer Adjust  
mode define the “zero point” for normal, “User-mode” adjustments. For example, setting Contrast in Installer Adjust mode defines the  
white level that results when Contrast is set to 0 in “User” mode. Menu items in bold type appear only on the CinemaWall  
Models SP-50 and SP-60.  
2. When adjusting the Brightness (black level) for RGB and Component HD (480p/720p/1080i) signals, use the “User mode” Brightness  
control. For 480i and digital video sources, either Brightness control (“User” mode or Installer Adjust mode) can be used.

The Main Menu is the starting point for accessing all CinemaWall functions. Some menu  
options are available only in “Installer Adjust” mode.  
Use the controls in the Picture menu to calibrate your CinemaWall for optimum picture  
quality.

OPTION  
The CinemaWall 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.

(or equivalent).  
SET  
ENTER  
MENU  
EXIT  
• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.  
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 4-3 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. Using the left- and right-arrow (  
adjust the brightness so that:  
) buttons,  
• 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 4-4.  
Figure 4-4. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast  
Select Contrast from the Picture menu. Using the left- and right-arrow (  
) buttons,  
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.  
Note

Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the  
one shown in Figure 4-5.  
Figure 4-5. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint  
Select Color from the Picture menu. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue  
filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear  
to be a single shade of blue:  
H. Sharpen/V. Sharpen (computer signals only): Select H. Sharpen or V. Sharpen  
from the Picture menu to enhance the level of detail (in the horizontal or vertical direction  
respectively) in a computer screen image.  
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 set the tint, select Tint from the Picture menu. While looking at the  
color bar pattern through a blue filter, 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.  
Note  
Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust  
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press SET. On your external test  
pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-6. Adjust as needed,  
looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and different sized lines  
in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate  
them.  
Figure 4-6. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness  
White Balance (Installer Adjust mode): Select White Balance from the Installer  
Adjust/Picture menu to remove any trace of color from the white areas of the image.  
WHITE BALANCE  
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,  
green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.

Color Chart (Installer Adjust mode): Select Color Chart from the Picture menu to  
adjust the color density for each of the six primary colors: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue  
and magenta. Changing these settings for a primary color alters the hue of that color and  
affects the gamut (range) of possible colors. For example, changing the value for red  
moves the color closer to either yellow or magenta, which in turn affects all displayed  
colors having a red component.

Gamma (Installer Adjust mode): The Gamma control determines how gray shades are  
displayed between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A  
good gamma setting helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth  
transitions for the “in-between” values utilized in other grays.  
Unlike brightness and contrast controls, Gamma allows you to lighten or darken the  
overall tone of your images without changing the extremes. All images will be more vibrant  
while still showing good detail in dark areas.  
The default Gamma setting of 2.2 is appropriate for most typical home theater  
environments.

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.  
MPEG Filter: Use the MPEG Filter to reduce or eliminate so-called “mosquito noise” in  
MPEG-compressed video signals (digital broadcasts or DVDs). Set it to LOW, MIDDLE or  
HIGH, as needed to minimize distortion around the edges of moving objects, moving  
artifacts around edges and/or blotchy noise patterns superimposed over the objects.  
Chroma EE: Use the Chroma EE control to correct chroma delay in a Composite,  
S-Video or Component 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, set Chroma EE to ON to eliminate them.  
Film Mode: When you enable Film Mode, the CinemaWall automatically detects and  
optimizes the display of interlaced video signals that originated from film. To disable Film  
Mode, set it to OFF.  
Film Mode can only be used on input signals with a 60-Hz refresh  
rate.  
Note  
Color Space: To ensure proper color reproduction, select Color Space from the Set-Up  
menu and set it as follows:  
• Select RGB for RGB input signals from a computer or video deck.  
• Select COMP. 1 for component input signals less than 720p, such as from a DVD  
player.  
• Select COMP. 2 for higher-resolution component input signals (720p or above, such  
as from an HD tuner).  
DVI Setup (Input 2 only): Select DVI Setup from the Set-Up menu to configure Input 2  
for “plug-and-play” operation with a computer, and select the appropriate black level.

want to override the setting. Set it to LOW if blacks appear elevated (dark gray). If  
blacks appear “crushed” (too dark), set it to HIGH.

Signal: The CinemaWall automatically identifies PC signals and video signals according to  
the frequency of the input signal, and identifies the resolution of a PC signal.  
In most cases, setting Signal to Auto works well. However, if the displayed image is  
unstable or distorted, select Signal from the Set-Up menu and select a specific signal  
format. The available choices vary for each input.  
Brt. Enhance (Installer Adjust mode): To improve and enhance the brightness of the  
center of the screen, select Brt. Enhance from the Set-Up menu and set it to ON. This  
reduces the brightness of the outer areas of the display by about 3 to 5%, relative to the  
center. For uniform brightness over the entire screen area, set Brt. Enhance to OFF.

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the CinemaWall. Before cleaning,  
be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.  
5.1  
Cleaning  
Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the  
CinemaWall. Doing so may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the display or  
remote control unit.  
Cleaning the Display  
Panel Body and Remote  
Control  
Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft cloth. In the case of excessive dirt  
buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent and after wringing  
the cloth thoroughly, wipe the component and then dry it with a dry soft cloth.  
After dusting, wipe the screen gently using the supplied cleaning cloth or another soft  
cloth (cotton, flannel etc.). Do not use tissue or a rough cloth. The screen surface is easily  
scratched; do not rub it or hit it with a hard object.  
Cleaning the Screen  
Cleaning the Vents  
If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may  
enter into the product and cause a malfunction.  
As a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a month to clean the vents on the  
rear panel of the display of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest setting  
when doing this). If not removed, accumulated dust can cause the internal temperature to  
increase, resulting in possible breakdown or fire.  
Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may  
encounter with the CinemaWall. If the suggested solutions fail to resolve the problem or if  
you encounter an issue not described here, please contact your Runco dealer or Runco  
Technical Support.

6. Serial Communications  
To interface the CinemaWall with a home theater automation/control system or a PC  
running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in  
6.1  
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 its baud rate to 115200, to match that of the CinemaWall  
RS-232 port.  
Serial commands to the CinemaWall take the following form:  
• You can send commands in either hexadecimal or ASCII format.  
• ASCII commands are not case-sensitive.  
6.2  
Serial Command  
Syntax  
• Commands begin with the “Start of Text” (STX) character (02h or <Ctrl> Bin ASCII),  
followed by the display ID (2 bytes), the command data and command argument  
(3 or 6 bytes; refer to Table 6-1) and the “End of Text” (ETX) character (03h or  
<Ctrl> Cin ASCII).  
• You do not need to send a carriage return after the command.  
• The default CinemaWall display ID is 01 (30h 31h). With most commands, you can also  
use the “wildcard” display ID of “**” (2Ah 2Ah) in place of any value for the ID. However,  
when requesting status via serial commands, you must use a specific display ID; “**”  
does not work in these cases.  
For example, if the CinemaWall ID number is set to its default value (01 = 30h 31h), send  
the following sequence to set the contrast to its highest possible level (255):
