Runco has prepared this manual to help installers and end users get the most out of the CX-70DHD. Runco has made every effort to ensure that this manual is accurate as of the date it was printed. However, because of ongoing product improvements and customer feedback, it may require updating from time to time.
Introduction Using This Manual Graphic Conventions: These symbols appear in numerous places throughout the manual, to emphasize points that you must keep in mind to avoid problems with your equipment or injury: TIPS highlight time-saving short cuts and helpful guidelines for using certain features.
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.

Installation • Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature. • The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the plasma display away from the fluorescent lamp. • Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the plasma display.
Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the CX-70DHD installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Installation should be performed by a qualified custom video Note installation specialist. Table 3-1.

Installation Installation Considerations ➤ Ambient Light ➤ Ventilation 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. In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display.
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.

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 Note specifically designed for your display.
Installation Serial No INPUTS R/Pr B/Pb Model Video Processor / Controller R/Pr B/Pb HDMI Out HDMI 1 HDMI 2 HDMI OUT Figure 3-4. Connecting the CX-70DHD to the DHD Controller Digital Video Connection: Connect the HDMI output from the DHD Controller to the DVI IN input on the CX-70DHD, using an HDMI-to-DVI cable.
RS-232 Connection: Connect the RS-232 output from the DHD Controller to the RS-232 IN input on the CX-70DHD. Use a cable with an RJ11 plug at the DHD Controller end and an RJ-45 plug at the CX-70DHD end. (The CX-70DHD accessory kit includes such a cable.) If you make your own cable, it must be wired as shown in Figure 3-5.

Installation Analog (Computer) RGB Connections: See Figure 3-8. 1. Refer to Supported Timings on page 60 for a list of computer Note signals compatible with the CX-70DHD. Use with signals other than those listed may cause some functions not to work. 2.
Installation ➤ RS-232 Controller Connection ➤ Connecting 12-Volt Trigger Outputs to External Equipment Use a standard, 9-pin RS-232 cable to connect a PC or control/automation system (if present) to the RS-232 Control port on the DHD Controller; see Figure 3-10. For more information about using this connection, refer to Serial Communications on page 51.
If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the DHD Controller due to excessive distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an external IR receiver to the DHD Controller to extend the range of the remote control. See Figure 3-12.
1. Turn on your source components. 2. Press the main power switch on the CX-70DHD (see Figure 2-1). The standby/on indicator lights red. 3. Set the main power switch at the rear of the DHD Controller (see Figure 2-4) to the “on” position.
