Proper installation of your Crystal Series LCD will ensure the highest possible picture
quality. Whether you are installing the Crystal Series LCD temporarily or permanently, you
should take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.
3.3
Installation
Considerations
You can place the Crystal Series LCD on a table or other flat, stable surface, or install it in
an entertainment center.
Installing the Crystal
Series LCD On a Table or
In an Entertainment
Center
Some Crystal Series LCD models have holes at the back of the
Note
stand to allow you to secure the LCD panel to the installation
surface using suitable hardware. For maximum safety and
stability, Runco strongly recommends doing this whenever
for hole locations.
You can also mount the Crystal Series LCD on a wall.
Wall-Mounting the Crystal
Series LCD
If you do decide to wall-mount the Crystal Series LCD, 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 the Runco-approved wall-mount kit designed for your
display.
Note
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
Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
Other Considerations
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the 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 Crystal Series LCD away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy
such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
Proceed as follows to connect the Crystal Series LCD to your video sources, external
controller(s) – if present – and AC power.
3.4
Connections to the
Crystal Series LCD
When connecting your equipment:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the correct signal cables for each source.
• Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on
connectors that have them.
• Use the left audio input when connecting mono audio sources.

The Crystal Series LCD 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, Digital 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

)
• 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

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.

that reducing noise (which reduces high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.
MPEG NR: Use the MPEG Filter to reduce or eliminate so-called “mosquito noise” in
MPEG-compressed video signals (digital broadcasts or DVDs). Adjust as needed to
minimize distortion around the edges of moving objects, moving artifacts around edges
and/or blotchy noise patterns superimposed over the objects.

The choices are 5400K, 6500K, 8500K and Custom. The default setting, 6500K, is
appropriate for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones
impart a reddish hue to the image.
Each color temperature setting has six (6) “white balance” parameters associated with it
(two each for red, green and blue). These are described later in this section; refer to White
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.
Save Settings: The Crystal Series LCD lets you save image quality settings for each input
and supported resolution to a preset. You can recall this preset at a later time by simply
pressing a button on the remote control or using the Restore Settings menu command
(see below).
You should save changes to any of the following settings to a preset; otherwise they will
be lost when a new input source or resolution is selected:

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the Crystal Series LCD. 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
Crystal Series LCD. 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 case of excessive dirt
buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent. Wring the cloth
thoroughly, then wipe the component and dry it with a dry soft cloth.
After dusting, wipe the screen gently using a soft cloth (cotton, flannel etc.). Do not use
tissue or coarse fabric. 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, do not allow water droplets on the
surface to enter into the product; this may 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 Crystal Series LCD. 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.

• To send a command from a PC running terminal emulation software, create a text file
containing that command. Then, use the file transfer function in your terminal emulation
program to send the command. (If you are using HyperTerminal, choose “Send Text
File...” from the Transfer menu.)
• When you send a valid command, the Crystal Series LCD executes it and
acknowledges it with a right-bracket character (]) followed by the four-digit numeric
code you sent; for example, ]0002.
• When you send an invalid command (one followed by values outside the valid range for
that command), the Crystal Series LCD ignores it and returns >MAXor <MINinstead of
the four-digit code.
• When you send an unrecognized/misspelled command, the Crystal Series LCD ignores
it and returns -N/Ainstead of the four-digit code.
