Main Menu The Main Menu is the starting point for accessing all DHD Controller functions. 
(You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration and Service menus.)
Input Source From the Main Menu, select Input Source to choose a video signal source. 
The active source is indicated by an arrow (Î) to its left; in this example, Composite is the 
active source. 
Aspect Ratio To change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, select Aspect Ratio 
from the Main Menu and press ENTER. Select the appropriate aspect ratio for your 
screen size and the type of program material being viewed; refer to Table 4-1. 
The currently-selected aspect ratio is indicated by a “
7” to its left; in this example, 16:9 is 
selected. 
Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of 
source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:
 The aspect ratio of the source material, as broadcast or encoded on the playback 
medium.
 The “display type” (16:9 or 4:3) and output resolution settings at the source 
component. Most modern DVD/BD players and set-top boxes have such controls. 
 Viewer preference (original aspect ratio with “black bars,” or a full-screen presentation 
with some distortion or cropping).

Cinema CINEMA Select Cinema to view 2.35:1 
source material on a 16:9 
screen. The upper and lower 
portions of the screen are 
masked, but the geometry of the 
active image area is not 
changed.
Virtual Cinema V-CINE A 2.35:1 image is stretched 
anamorphically in both 
directions to fill a 16:9 display 
area. 
The 2.35:1 image is cropped on 
all sides. 
Native NATIVE Select Native to display the 
source signal in its native 
resolution, centered in the 
display area with no re-sizing or 
overscan. 
This means, for example, that 
720p HDTV programs will 
display with unused pixels on all 
sides: 320 on the left and right 
sides and 180 above and below. 
With SDTV and EDTV sources, 
the DHD Controller scales the 
image horizontally to achieve a 
16:9 aspect ratio.

ScreenThe Screen Menu allows you to recall multiple sets of stored values for certain controls 
(Output Shift and Image Alignment, to name two) that are saved for each aspect ratio. 
Such settings are also saved “per screen.” To recall the Output Shift and Image Alignment 
settings associated with “Screen 1” or “Screen 2,” make that selection here.
PictureUse the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate each DHD Controller input to achieve 
optimum picture quality.
The DHD Controller has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards 
established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully 
crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has 
implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to 
obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco 
recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation 
technician.
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each DHD 
Controller input separately. 
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and 
regular program material, Runco recommends using an external test pattern source 
(Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent) for best 
results.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as 
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an 
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE 
pattern.

When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a 
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a 
different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for 
each input and display mode separately.) For information about 
saving settings, refer to Memory Presets on page 38. Note

PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray 
areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four 
shaded boxes.
Select Brightness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. Adjust the brightness so that:
 The darkest black bars disappear into the background. 
 The dark gray areas are barely visible.
 The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.
 The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
 The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).
Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the 
one shown in Figure 4-3. 
Figure 4-3. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast
Select Contrast and press ENTER. Adjust the contrast to a point just below which the 
white rectangle starts to increase in size.
Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one 
may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the 
optimum setting.

one shown in Figure 4-4.

11.Adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear to 
be a single shade of blue: 
Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. 
When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image 
appears greener. 
To adjust the tint, enable “blue only” display mode in the Diagnostics menu, as you would 
for adjusting color saturation (refer to the previous section, Color Saturation). 
Select Tint from the Picture menu and press ENTER. Adjust the tint level until the cyan 
and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of 
blue. 
Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls 
are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the 
other in order to achieve the optimum setting.

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust 
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. On your external 
test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5. Adjust as needed, 
looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines 
in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate 
them. 
Figure 4-5. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness
Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Picture 
menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources. 
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, 
keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the 
image.
Input PositionUse the controls in the Input Position Menu to fine-tune the aspect ratio and image 
position for the current source.
Left/Right: Select Left/Right from the Input Position menu to shift the projected image 
horizontally. Press  to shift the image to the right; press   to shift it to the left. 
Up/Down: Select Up/Down from the Input Position menu to shift the projected image 
vertically. Press  to shift the image upward; press   to shift it downward.
Width: Select Width from the Input Position menu to change the projected image width. 
Press  to increase the width; press   to decrease it.
