System Overview The standard D-73d projector, shown in Figure 2-2, consists of two discrete LED optical engines stacked one on top of the other to provide either three-dimensional (3D) or Projector two-dimensional (2D) content. For 3D content, each engine produces the image for one eye. Linear polarizers on each engine isolate the output images from one another.
Page 25
The screw to the right of the lens activates the lens lock, which freezes the zoom and lens shift settings to keep the projector images aligned over time. When shipped from Runco, the lenses are unlocked. To lock them, use the same 5.0-mm Hex wrench (provided) that you use for lens shift adjustments. (Turn clockwise two or three turns.)

In order to easily Synchronization Issues 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.
Installation Ventilation If you are mounting the D-73d in an enclosure, leave at least 3 inches (76.2 mm) of space on the left and right sides between it and surrounding objects, as shown in Figure 3-6. This allows heat to disperse, maintaining the proper operating temperature. Minimum 3.0 in.
Installation If you are installing a standard D-73d (without an anamorphic lens), skip this step and proceed with Mounting the D-73d (page 36). Installing the Optional Anamorphic Lens If you are installing a D-73d/CineWide, proceed with Installing the Fixed CineWide Mount Base Plate (D-73d/CineWide) (page 34).
Installation Installing the Lens Motor: 1. Position the AutoScope lens motor as shown in Figure 3-7. 2. Line up the mounting holes on the lens motor housing with those on the underside of the projector. 3. Secure the motor to the projector with the eight (8) supplied M6 x 12mm Pan-Head Phillips screws.

Leave the AC power switch on the anamorphic lens transport in the Note “off” position for now. 4. Press the ON button on the remote control (or the ON/STANDBY ( ) button on the Primary DHD Controller front panel) to turn on the system.
Page 71
Installation 7. Adjust the front-to-back angle of the ceiling mount to minimize keystone distortion. Adjust the side-to-side angle to minimize “clocking” (unwanted “roll” or rotation about the lens axis). Refer to the ceiling mount installation instructions for more information. 8. Focus Left (Top) Primary Lens: To focus the projected image, grasp the lens by the Focus outer ring and rotate it.
Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-26. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in these instructions. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact your Runco dealer or Runco Customer Service at (800) 23-RUNCO.

Installation • Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion: Anamorphic Lens (Top View) Correct Position Wrong Position Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place.
Installation Projector and/or screen placement — among other things — can cause geometric Adjusting the Image distortion in the projected image. Geometry To correct this, the DHD Controller provides precise, nine-point control over the projected image geometry. Use these controls as (and only if) needed to re-position the image corners, mid-points and center to eliminate “keystoning”...
Page 78
Installation “Keystoning” usually occurs when the projector is tilted relative to the screen. “Pincushion” distortion can sometimes occur if the throw distance is very short and/or the projector is equipped with an anamorphic lens. Corner/Midpoint Alignment — 16:9 Aspect Ratio: 1.

Installation Corner/Midpoint Alignment — Cinema (2.35:1) Aspect Ratio: 1. Select the Cinema aspect ratio using either the DHD Controller remote control unit (see Figure 2-8) or the OSD menu (press MENU, then select Aspect Ratio -> Cinema). This should move the anamorphic lenses back into the optical path, in front of the primary lenses.

Runco products (manufactured prior to September 2011) that include the DHD Controller. Runco recommends using this new protocol, as it is more concise and provides greater control than the old one. However, to maintain backward compatibility with existing automation/control system modules, the legacy Runco serial protocol is also supported.
