Remote ControlTo install batteries in the remote control: 
1. Press down the tab on the cover and 
pull the cover in the direction of the 
arrow.
2. Insert the included batteries. Ensure 
that the polarities correctly match the 
 and   markings inside the battery 
compartment.
3. Insert the lower tab of the cover into 
the opening, and press down the cover 
until it clicks in place.
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.
 Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as from sunshine, fire or the like. 
3. Installation
Installation must be performed by a qualified custom video 
installation specialist.Note

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 DHD Controller.
 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 DHD Controller, and repeat the operation.

Installation 
ConsiderationsProper installation of your V-50HD/V-63HD will ensure the highest possible picture quality. 
Whether you are installing the V-50HD/V-63HD temporarily or permanently, you should 
take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.
Mounting the 
V-50HD/V-63HD on a Wall 
or Table Stand To install the V-50HD/V-63HD, you will need either an optional table stand or 
wall-mounting kit. 
If you are wall-mounting a V-50HD/V-63HD, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is installed 
according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of supporting a 
redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be reinforced. 
Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.
Audio/Video 
Synchronization Issues Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller 
may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily 
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.
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and 
video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances. 
According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more 
than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45 
milliseconds.
In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs 
to be compensated for during the installation. 
Table 3-2 shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings. 
1. Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit or table stand that is 
specifically designed for your display. Refer to Parts List on 
page 4 for ordering information. 
2. If you are wall-mounting the V-50HD/V-63HD, you must attach 
the video and power cables to the display before mounting it. Note

VentilationIf you are mounting the V-50HD/V-63HD in an enclosure, leave sufficient space on all 
sides between it and surrounding objects, as shown in Figure 3-1. This allows heat to 
disperse, maintaining the proper operating temperature. 
Figure 3-1. Ventilation Requirements for Enclosure Mounting
Ambient LightIn general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast ratio in your 
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the display, 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 ConsiderationsOther considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
 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.
 Keep the display away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as 
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, 
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
Rack-Mounting the DHD
ControllerThe DHD Controller can be placed on any flat, stable surface such as a shelf or table, or it 
can be rack-mounted using the supplied mounting hardware. Place the DHD Controller in 
a location that provdes easy access to the power connector. 
To mount the DHD Controller in a standard, 19-inch equipment rack, install the mounting 
ears on either side of the chassis using the supplied screws. Then, secure the mounting 
ears to the rack.➤
