as it is your guide through the menus and operation.
WARNING
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of
the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could
cause damage to this unit.
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
17. 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.
18. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond rated life could cause them to
explode in rare occasions.

Runco VX-6000d Installation/Operation Manual
The Runco Video Extreme™ VX-6000d follows in the footsteps of its renowned
predecessor, the VX-5000d by offering extraordinary performance, state of the art optics,
impressive custom installation flexibility and today’s most advanced DLP technology with
1920 x 1080 SuperOnyx™ resolution.
1.3
Description, Features
and Benefits
Its performance is so extraordinary, in fact, that the VX-6000d has earned its place in our
exclusive, Video Xtreme™ family of products — our top of the line and the world’s first
®
video products to earn prestigious THX certification.
The VX-6000d incorporates Runco’s exclusive Enhanced GEN 3™ engineering
advancements to make more efficient use of optical light engine design. This results in
greater light output and dramatically increases contrast ratio.
Among the advances Runco has developed are a sophisticated color balancing system
and Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR™), which provides the perfect balance of
black and white levels. These engineering achievements are combined with lens choices
featuring world-class optics and lens shift versatility. The resulting images are superb. In
fact, the VX-6000d can easily surpass the black levels of film projectors!
The VX-6000d is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD™)
Controller/Scaler/Processor, featuring advanced Vivix III™ video processing and superb
scaling. In addition, Runco’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its unique VirtualWide™
mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality. The
DHD provides for a pure digital signal path from input to light engine.
The VX-6000d produces an impressive 1750 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS light
output of 17.3 to 29.8 ft-Lamberts).
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-6000d 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. Also available with the VX-6000d is CineWide
with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide
format screen.
Note
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
