17Runco CL-610 Owner’s Operating Manual Installation Remote ControlPush the battery cover and slide it off. Install the two AAA batteries with the correct polarity and then replace the cover. Notes on Batteries • Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries. • Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries. • If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. Notes on Remote Control Operation • Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the projector. • The usable range is up to 8 meters (26.25 feet) within a 45-degree horizontal angle and a 15-degree vertical angle. • If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. • The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting. • Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation. • The Ø icon appears on the screen when a button for an unavailable function is pressed.
18Runco CL-610 Owner’s Operating Manual Installation Installation Type ➤ Installation Considerations Screen Type and Size ➤ 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. Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation AdvantagesConsiderations • Easy to set up • Can be moved or changed quickly • Easy to access• Shares floor space with audience Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation AdvantagesConsiderations • Does not take up audience space • Projector is unobtrusive • Projector cannot be accidentally moved• Installation is more permanent • It is more difficult to access the projector Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation AdvantagesConsiderations • Projector is completely hidden • Projector is easily accessed • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation AdvantagesConsiderations • Projector is completely hidden • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror AdvantagesConsiderations • Projector is completely hidden • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires less space behind screen than other rear screen installations • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Front Screen Installations In front screen installations the projector and audience are positioned in front of the screen, which can be flat or curved. Flat screens are recommended with this projector. They offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. This type of screen reflects incident light equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles. Curved screens have a gain greater than 1 with a viewing angle much less than 180°. This type of screen does not reflect incident light equally in all directions; instead, it is concentrated in a viewing cone. The audience sitting within the viewing cone area sees a brighter image than those sitting just outside this area. Runco generally does not recommend use of curved screens due to excessive brightness and uncorrectable geometrical distortion.
19Runco CL-610 Owner’s Operating Manual Installation Rear screen installations There are two basic types of rear screens: diffused and optical. A diffusion screen has a surface that spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused screens have a gain of less than 1. The main advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle, similar to that of a flat screen for front screen projection. This type of screen is suitable when a wide viewing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting. Optical screens take light from the projector and redirect it to increase the light intensity at the front of the screen. This reduces it in other areas. A viewing cone similar to that of a curved, front-screen installation is created. This type of screen is better suited for brightly lit rooms where the audience is situated within the viewing cone. Screen size Choose a screen size that is appropriate for your lens and application. The size of the room and viewing distance are the defining factors; a rule of thumb is that the primary viewing distance be 1.5 times the screen width. To fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of the image (expressed as the ratio of its width to its height). Standard video from a VCR has a 4:3 or 1.33:1 aspect ratio. For example, to display a VCR output with a 4:3 aspect ratio onto a 10-foot (3.05-meter) high screen, the width of the screen must be at least 13.3 feet (4 meters).
20Runco CL-610 Owner’s Operating Manual Installation Ambient Light ➤In 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. 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. Throw distance is the distance measured from your projector’s lens 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 of 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 that is applicable to your projector: • The CL-610 has a minimum throw distance factor of 1.37 and a maximum throw distance factor of 1.82. • The CL-610LT has a minimum throw distance factor of 1.86 and a maximum throw distance factor of 2.47. Other Considerations ➤ ������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������ ���������������� �� Throw Distance ➤ 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. For example, with an 8-foot (96-inch) wide screen (the maximum recommended screen width for this projector): • The CL-610 has a throw distance range of between 131.52 inches (3.34 meters) and 174.72 inches (4.44 meters). • The CL-610LT has a throw distance range of between 178.56 inches (4.54 meters) and 237.12 inches (6.02 meters).
