1.3  
Description, Features  
and Benefits  
The Runco CX-70DHD is a native “Full-HD” (1920 x 1080) LCD that is ideal for rooms of  
distinction where a large screen size is desired, but where ambient light makes front  
projection difficult and the glare of a plasma screen simply unacceptable. In addition to its  
exceptional contrast ratio and superb gray scaling for true-to-life image quality, the  
CX-70DHD features the ISF™ (Imaging Science Foundation) calibration suite, including  
day and night modes for an optimal picture in the most challenging lighting conditions.  
Designed exclusively for discriminating tastes, the CX-70DHD is the first LCD flat panel to  
feature Runco’s proprietary external DHD™ video controller/scaler/processor. The DHD  
not only incorporates Runco’s exclusive advanced Vivix III™ digital video processing  
technology to achieve the highest level of image fidelity, but it also enhances  
standard-definition digital and NTSC content to near high-definition quality.  
Regardless of video source, Runco’s CX-70DHD provides rich, detailed HD imagery.  
While lesser displays may show signs of image distortion, especially at larger screen sizes,  
the CX-70DHD incorporates Runco’s WideVision™ technology with exclusive  
VirtualWide™ content conversion, which masterfully converts all 4:3 content to  
widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and optimizes Anamorphic and Letterbox content with no  
loss of image integrity.  
The CX-70DHD offers exceptional installation flexibility. It measures less than six inches  
thin for unobtrusive installation on a wall, and the external DHD processor allows for a  
pristine installation, with just a single HDMI with HDCP output to the display required. All  
source and component inputs (Composite, S-Video, HDMI with HDCP, and RGB) are  
handled by Runco’s DHD, which, like all of the components, can be hidden from view.  
The CX-70DHD includes a discrete remote, RS-232 interface and three, +12 VDC triggers  
for greater integration capabilities that can help create the ideal entertainment  
environment with touch-of-a-button convenience. The display’s elegant black bezel  
matches any room décor.  
The CX-70DHD offers these key features and benefits:  
• 16:9 Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080  
Key Features and Benefits  
• Multiple Aspect Ratios with VirtualWide™ Mode  
• Includes DHD with HDMI video controller/processor  
• Less than 6 inches thin  
• Exceptional detail and artifact-free video enhancement  
• ViVix™ video processing with 3:2 film detection circuitry

Proper installation of your CX-70DHD will ensure the highest possible picture quality.  
Whether you are installing the CX-70DHD temporarily or permanently, you should take the  
following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.  
3.3  
Installation  
Considerations  
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  
If you are mounting the CX-70DHD in an enclosure, leave sufficient 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.  
Ventilation  
Wall  
50mm (2")

Figure 3-2. Ventilation Requirements for Enclosure Mounting  
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.  
CX-70DHD Installation/Operation Manual

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
In addition, many A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs to be  
compensated for during the installation. Table 3-2 shows the amount of possible audio  
latency given different signal input timings.

Other Considerations  
Here are some 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 CX-70DHD 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 or 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 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.

You can install the CX-70DHD either on a table or other flat surface (using the included  
table stand) or on a wall using the optional wall-mounting kit.  
Mounting the CX-70DHD  
on a Wall or Table Stand  
Before installing the wall mount or  
table stand, place the panel face  
down on a soft, flat surface. Place the  
protective sheet, which was wrapped  
around the panel when it was  
packaged, between the screen and  
your work surface to avoid scratching  
or otherwise damaging the screen  
surface.  
Table Stand Assembly: Figure 3-3 shows how to assemble the included table stand  
and attach it to the panel.

If you choose to wall-mount the CX-70DHD, 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 five (5) 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 Parts List on page 4  
Note  
for ordering information.  
Proceed as follows to connect the CX-70DHD to the DHD Controller, your video sources,  
external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.

From the Main Menu, select Input Source to choose a video signal source.  
The active source is indicated by an arrow () to its left; in this example, Composite is the  
active source.  
To change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, select Aspect Ratio  
from the Main Menu and press ENTER. Select the appropriate aspect ratio for your  
screen size and the type of program material being viewed; refer to Table 4-1.  
7
The currently-selected aspect ratio is indicated by a “7” to its left; in this example, 16:9 is  
selected.  
Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of  
source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:  
• 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).  
The aspect ratio selection is automatically saved for each input and  
resolution.

Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your CX-70DHD for optimum picture  
quality.  
The CX-70DHD 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 separately.) For information about saving settings, refer  
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.  
Below Black  
Above Black

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.  
Note  
Left/Right: Select Left/Right from the Input Position menu to shift the projected image  
horizontally. Press to shift the image to the right; press to shift it to the left.  
Up/Down: Select Up/Down from the Input Position menu to shift the projected image  
vertically. Press to shift the image upward; press to shift it downward.  
Width: Select Width from the Input Position menu to change the projected image width.  
Press to increase the width; press to decrease it.  
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.

• 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.  
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.)

Backlight: The Backlight control changes the apparent brightness of the displayed  
image. Its effect is similar to that of a lamp intensity control on a projector. Use a higher  
setting for rooms with a lot of ambient light. Use a lower setting for more “theater-like”  
viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).  
To prolong the life of the display, set the Backlight only as high as is  
necessary to produce the desired brightness.  
Tip  
Input Image: The Input Image controls are functionally similar to those in the Picture  
menu (refer to page 40), but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu  
passcode.  
The Input Image settings establish the “zero point” for the Picture  
Note  
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 48), 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 or S-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.  
Save ISF Night/Save ISF Day: Whenever you make a change to the ISF settings, you  
should always save it. Select Save ISF Night or Save ISF Day from the Calibration menu to  
do this.

Remote Code: Select Remote Code from the Remote Control menu to set the  
infrared (IR) code set to which the CX-70DHD 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 CX-70DHD 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.

menu, then select Orientation to change the picture orientation to suit the method of  
installation (Floor Front, Floor Rear, Ceiling Front or Ceiling Rear).  
Diagnostics: Select Diagnostics from the Display Device - Configure menu, then  
select Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan or Magenta to display only that color channel  
(simulating a filter of that color). This can be useful for calibration or measurement  
purposes.  
To restore the normal picture (all colors), select White.  
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 CX-70DHD uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the  
CX-70DHD 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 CX-70DHD 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 CX-70DHD 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 CX-70DHD 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 CX-70DHD 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.  
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 display device 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 256 mV).

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the CX-70DHD. 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  
CX-70DHD. 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 CX-70DHD. 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. External Control  
In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there  
are two methods of controlling the CX-70DHD 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.  
The following sections describe both of 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  
To interface the CX-70DHD with an automation/control system or a PC running terminal  
emulation software, connect it to the Display Control output of the DHD Controller as  
shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5. Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232  
input of the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-11.  
RS-232 Connection and  
Port Configuration  
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, eight (8) data bits,  
one (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 51), 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 following serial commands are meant to emulate buttons on the remote control or DHD Con-  
troller front panel. Each button has its own serial command, so effectively it is as if you were using  
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 or is  
pressed repeatedly.  
• Five (5) address bits. The default address is 17 (binary 10001). To change it, select  
Remote Control from the Service menu and follow the steps given on page 52.  
• 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.  
For example, here is the RC5 control code for the ON button on the DHD Controller  
remote control unit (assuming the default address is used):
