mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this:
1. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.
2. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode.

If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and

Note
adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that
the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the
screen.
Runco offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and
cylindrical.
• The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the
width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.
• The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It
stretches the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display
device. Two, cylindrical anamorphic lens options are available: Rainier II and McKinley.
Although they differ in size and throw distance range (refer to Table 3-3), the installation
procedure for both lenses is similar.
The following models are available with either a prismatic or a cylindrical anamorphic lens:
• VX-3000d/CineWide
• VX-3000d Ultra/CineWide
The following models always use a cylindrical lens:
• VX-3000d/CineWide with AutoScope
• VX-3000d Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope
If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney
(Prismatic) Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment on page 57. If you are
installing a CineWide projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section.
