PRELIMINARY

Thank you for your purchase of this quality Runco video projector! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video

that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the

menus and operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements.

5. Clean only with a dry cloth.

6. Do not block any ventilation openings.

7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one

wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for

your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete

outlet.

9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could

cause damage to this unit.

10. Only use accessories specified by Runco International.

11. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.

12. Unplug this projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for an extended period of time.

13. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to

removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of

lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any way,

objects have fallen or spilled into the projector, the projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate

normally, or has been dropped.

Description, Features

and Benefits

The CL-610 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility

heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution

DLP light engine incorporates all-new technology for bright, pristine high-definition

images.

With throw distances of 1.37 – 1.82:1 on the CL-610 and 1.87 – 2.47:1 on the

longer-throw CL-610LT, both units offer the performance and installation flexibility custom

home theater enthusiasts have come to expect from Runco — all at a superb price and

packaged with outstanding build quality.

Advanced Runco Vivix™ digital video processing is engineered into these all-new

projection systems to achieve improved image quality even from standard video sources,

in addition to artifact-free scaling of higher resolution formats.

The CL-610's illumination system incorporates Runco's exclusive Selectable Lamp

Intensity Control™ (SLIC™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum

flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and

lamp life preservation. It also has a newly-refined cooling system, which increases

efficiency and reduces noise levels.

The CL-610 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)

standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's sophisticated parameters

for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise

balance of gray scale and color.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”

(2.35:1) format, the CL-610 can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending CineWide™

technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.

CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater.

When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply

gets wider while full height is maintained.

Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source

and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide

format screen.

Considerations

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are

installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into

account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Installation TypeChoose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or

inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods.

Ambient LightIn general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your

images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, 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.

Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options

Advantages Considerations

Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation

• Easy to set up

• Can be moved or changed quickly

• Easy to access

• Shares floor space with audience

Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

PRELIMINARY

Throw Distance Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.

This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not

you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your

image will be the right size for your screen.

You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and

multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you

roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to

project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.

Figure 3-1. Estimating Throw Distance

Vertical and Horizontal

Position

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,

perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.

Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way

that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and

centered horizontally.

The top of the projected image is even with the lens center when the projector is inverted

(ceiling-mounted). Likewise, the bottom of the projected image is aligned with the lens

center when the projector is upright (as in a floor installation). See Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2. Projector Placement

Folded OpticsIn rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be

used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-3. The position of the projector and

mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your

dealer for assistance.

PRELIMINARY

Other Considerations Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector

away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause

drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.

• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as

motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,

speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

3.4

Mounting the CL-610

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen

installation, one method may be more suitable than another.

Floor Mounting (Upright) In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed upright on a

secure and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector

during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position

to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.

Ceiling Mounting

(Inverted)

For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited

space for projector and audience, you can invert the CL-610 and suspend it from the

ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.

The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the

viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the

projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber

crutch tips or turntable feet).

Adjusting the Projector

Height or Projection Angle

If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the

projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling

mount.

For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable

feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust

the projector height and/or projection angle.

If you do this, you may need to make

keystone adjustments or vertically shift the

image using the on-screen display (OSD)

controls, to compensate. For detailed

instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen

Menus on page 30.

Runco CL-610 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 33

PRELIMINARY

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

acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE

pattern.

Figure 4-2. 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 Adjustment 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).

Select Color from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. 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 Adjustment menu and press ENTER.

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

sharpness, select Sharpness from the Adjustment 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.

Figure 4-5. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness

Filter: The Filter setting controls the behavior of the Sharpness control. The available

settings depend on the vertical resolution of the input signal, as follows:

•With a 480i signal, you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal (1),

the output signal (2), both (3) or neither (0).

•With a 480p or higher-resolution signal, the sharpness control is applied only to the

output signal and only when you set the Sharpness Filter to “on” (1).

The Sharpness setting has no effect if the Sharpness Filter (see

below) is set to 0.

PC & HD Adjust: Use the settings in the PC & HD Adjust menu to fine-tune 480p and

higher-resolution signals for optimum picture quality.

•Auto: Adjusts the phase, frequency and position automatically.

•Freq. Adjusts the frequency of the signal.

•Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB source) shows shimmer or

“noise.” Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the

incoming signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a

VCR.

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. (You may

find that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this

case.)

• H. Pos.: Adjusts the horizontal position of the image.

• V. Pos.: Adjusts the vertical position of the image.

PIP/PBP Set Up: Select PIP/PBP Set Up from the Option menu to change the PIP/PBP

settings.

• PIP/PBP Enable: Press the or button to select PIP/PBP Enable, then press

ENTER. Press the or button to select Off or On, then press ENTER.

Set Up To access advanced picture quality adjustments, use the up- or down-arrow keys to

highlight Set Up and press ENTER. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the

Set Up menu passcode when prompted and press ENTER again. Then, press MENU on

the remote control.

White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected

image, choose White Balance from the Set Up menu and press ENTER.

• Gamma: “Gamma” is a global setting that 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, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or darkened without

changing the extremes and all images will be more vibrant while still showing good

detail in dark areas.

In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Gamma Selection” (see below)

will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is sometimes

necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To do this,

select Gamma from the White Balance sub-menu and use the left- and right-arrow

buttons to manipulate the on-screen slidebars.

•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.

•Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu 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, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.

• Store Color Temp.4/Store Color Temp.5: When you are finished adjusting the

Gamma, Gain and Offset, select Store Color Temp.4 or Store Color Temp.5 to store

your settings. To recall them, set the Color Temperature to +4 or +5 in the Image

Adjustment menu (refer to Picture Adjustment on page 32).

Gamma Selection: The normal gamma setting of 2.2 is correct for almost all signals and

conditions. 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 will

improve 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.

Again, good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and

whites.

SD Enhance: The SD Enhance menu gives you options for improving the quality of

standard-definition, 480i images. (For 480p and higher-definition images, the controls in

this menu are disabled.) Keep in mind that these controls add frequencies that are not

present in the original signal, and may make images appear “noisy” if misused.

• H Enhance/V Enhance: These controls can improve the apparent horizontal and/or

vertical resolution of the image.

• Chroma Enhance: This control adds chroma (color information) to the input signal

and can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.

• H Threshold/V Threshold/Chroma Threshold: Set these to +11 or higher to

activate the enhancement controls described above. Generally, the higher the

threshold, the more noticeable the enhancements you make will be.

Image Over Scan: Image Over Scan 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. Over scan effectively

trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to

fill the display area.

Use the on-screen slidebar to select the desired amount of over scan.

For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Image Over Scan is generally not necessary or

desirable.

Image Shift: The Image Shift menu allows you to precisely center the image on the

screen. (These controls are available only with a 480i source signal.)

• Horizontal: This control moves the image right or left within the area of available pixels.

• Vertical: This option moves the image up or down within the area of available pixels.

Amplitude Adjust: The Amplitude Adjust menu allows you to fine-tune the

currently-selected image aspect ratio by stretching it horizontally or vertically, in small

increments. This can be useful if your projector is equipped with an anamorphic lens.

The Horizontal control adjusts the image width while keeping the height constant.

Similarly, the Vertical control adjusts the image height while keeping the width constant.

Horizontal Masking (CL-610/CineWide and CL-610LT/CineWide only): To achieve

the proper image geometry with the secondary anamorphic lens, select Horizontal

Masking from the Set Up menu. Then, use the or button to change the native aspect

ratio of the display, in small increments.

1. To adjust the image position with a 480p or higher-resolution

source, use the PC & HD Adjust controls in the Option menu,

described on page 41.

2. The values shown represent where the approximate center of the

image lies in relation to the total number of pixels available

horizontally or vertically. This varies widely according to the

signal; watch the image while adjusting.

Video 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 projector automatically determines the best setting according to the

type of incoming video signal:

•0 IRE: Used for DVD output with “enhanced black,” SECAM, most PAL standards and

Japanese NTSC.

•7.5 IRE: Used for most NTSC video signals.

For some types of video, you may want to override the setting. Generally, if black appears

crushed when brightness = 30, choose “0 IRE.” If black appears excessively elevated, use

“7.5 IRE.”

Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Set Up Menu to adjust the lamp output level.

You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (250W; this is the default setting) or

you can choose the lower (200W) setting. Generally, lower lamp output can prolong the

life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.

Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary

infrared (IR) codes to which the CL-610 will respond. The Primary IR code is permanently

set to +20. The secondary IR code is also +20.

You can change the secondary IR code if either:

• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands

from the CL-810 remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.

• You have multiple CL-610 projectors 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

projector.

When you change the secondary IR code, the remote sends that code instead of the

primary IR code.

To simultaneously change the secondary IR code and synchronize that remote with a

projector, point the remote at the projector, then press and hold and simultaneously

for five seconds. The Remote Control edit window, shown at right, appears. Type a new,

two-digit code.

The procedure for changing the secondary IR code on the remote only is the same,

except that you point the remote away from the projector.

The Remote Control menu is read-only and need not be visible in

order to change the secondary IR code.

PRELIMINARY

Brightness and Contrast: Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)

Specifications

- Brightness: 14.5 to 21.6 foot-Lamberts (fL)

- Contrast Ratio: 200:1 to 220:1

These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled,

home theater environment. All measurements are made to

ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research

PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter,

Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The

projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a

minimum of 150 hours of usage.

The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial

movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The

Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies

16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an

open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today

SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital

Cinema theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on

screen size, screen gain and projector light output.

Home Theater Calibration Specifications

- Light Output: 442 to 587 ANSI Lumens

- Contrast Ratio: 200:1 to 220:1

These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as

described above for CSMS measurements.

Industry-Standard Specifications

- Light Output: 1250 ANSI Lumens

- Contrast Ratio: 1500:1 to 3100:1

These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications

found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these

measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other

manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at

9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the

projector is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.

Lamp: 250 Watts

Estimated Lamp Life: 2000 hours

Power Requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (auto-sensing), 50/60 Hz, 310 Watts

Operating Environment: 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C), 20% to 80% humidity

(non-condensing)

Dimensions: See Figure 7-1

Weight (without lens): 34 lbs. (15.42 kg)

Regulatory Approvals: Complies with FCC, CE C-Tick

Limited Warranty: Projector: Two (2) years parts and labor from the date of

delivery to the end user.

Lamp: 1000 hours or six (6) months, whichever comes first.
