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.

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:

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

• Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature.  
• The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the  
plasma display away from the fluorescent lamp.  
• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote  
control and the IR receiver on the plasma display.  
The signal from the remote control can be reflected by walls or  
other surfaces.  
Note  
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the  
batteries with new ones.  
• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this  
happens, point the remote control at the plasma display and repeat the operation.

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  
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.  
Note  
You can attach your optional mounts or stand to the CinemaWall in either of two ways:  
• While it is upright.  
• 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.  
Ambient Light  
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.

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 and tips that can help improve your installation, avoid damage and  
prolong operating life:  
Other Considerations  
• 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.

Picture Adjust  
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.

Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and  
regular program material, Runco recommends using the following calibration tools for best  
results:  
• External test pattern source -- Ovation Multimedia, Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD  
(or equivalent).  
• 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.  
Below Black  
Above Black  
Figure 4-3. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness  
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 Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow (  
buttons, 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 4-4.  
Figure 4-4. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast  
Select Contrast from the Picture Adjust 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 Adjust 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:  
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 Adjust 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.

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust  
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture Adjust menu and press OK or MENU. 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  
Video NR: To apply Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) to the input signal, select Video NR  
from the Picture Adjust menu. Noise reduction is useful for clearing up noisy RGB images  
such as those from a PC.  
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

Kelvin: To adjust the color temperature, select Kelvin from the Picture Adjust menu.  
(Color temperature defines the “color of gray.”) Use the left- and/or right-arrow buttons to  
select 5400K, 6500K, 8500K or 9300K. The default setting, 6500K, is appropriate for  
most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones impart a reddish  
hue to the image.

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.

To reset the white balance settings to the factory default values, select Reset. Then, press

You must set the Advanced OSD option (in the Function menu) to  
ON in order to access the Gamma, Dither, Black Level and Color  
Note  
Chart settings. Refer to Advanced OSD on page 40.  
Gamma: 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.  
Dither: Dithering can improve detail in some signals, especially in dark areas of an image.  
Select Dither from the Picture Adjust menu and choose the dither method that is  
appropriate to the type of source material (STILL, MOTION or DIFFUSE). Or, use the  
default setting of AUTO.  
Black Level: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present in  
certain video signals, and ensures that blacks in the display are neither “crushed” (where  
dark grays appear black) nor excessively elevated (where blacks appear dark gray).  
By default, the CinemaWall automatically determines the best setting according to the  
type of incoming video signal. For some types of video, you may want to override the  
setting. Generally, if black appears crushed when brightness = 32, choose “NORMAL.” If  
black appears excessively elevated, use “STEP 1” or “STEP 2.”

Color Chart: Select Color Chart from the Picture Adjust menu to adjust the hue and color  
density for each of the six primary colors: red, green, blue, yellow, magenta and cyan.  
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.

Picture Memory: The CinemaWall provides four, preset picture memories per input that  
allow you to quickly change the image settings to suit the viewing environment:  
• Select ISF DAY or ISF NIGHT when watching video in a dark room. These settings  
provide darker, finer pictures, like the screen in movie theaters. For a darker image,  
select ISF NIGHT.  
• Select NORMAL when watching video in a bright room. This mode provides dynamic  
pictures with distinct differences between light and dark sections.  
• The FILM setting is similar to NORMAL but produces a brighter picture.  
• To reset all image settings to their factory defaults, select CUSTOM1.  
Memory Setting: Choose Memory Setting from the Picture Adjust menu to store the  
current input and image quality settings in one of six memory locations. These memory  
locations are global (that is, shared by all inputs). You can recall these settings at a later  
time, without manually recreating them.  
You should save changes to any of the following settings to a picture memory; otherwise  
they will be lost when a new input source is selected:  
• Contrast/Brightness  
• Color saturation/Tint  
• Sharpness  
• Gamma  
• Color temperature and white balance

Notes:  
1. The CinemaWall may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous  
(CRT/LCD) mode. Should this occur, switch the notebook computer to “CRT only” mode. If you  
are unsure how to do this, refer to your notebook computer’s user manual.  
2. All modes other than the native resolution (1024x768 for the CW-42HD or 1365x768 for the  
CW-50XA and CW-61) are scaled up or down to that resolution.
