Runco VX-3000D User Manual

By default, the VX-3000d is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the projector 
is installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen and/or 
mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this:

1.

On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.

2.

Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode. 

 

3.

Select Display Device from the Service Menu.

4.

Select Configure from the Display Device menu, then select Installation.

5.

Select Orientation, then choose Floor/Rear, Ceiling/Front or Ceiling/Rear, to match 
the installation method. 

If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and 
adjust the anamorphic lens. 

Runco offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and 
cylindrical.

• The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the 

width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device. 

• The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It 

stretches the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display 
device. Two, cylindrical anamorphic lens options are available: Rainier II and McKinley. 
Although they differ in size and throw distance range (refer to Table 3-3), the installation 
procedure for both lenses is similar.

The following models are available with either a prismatic or a cylindrical anamorphic lens:

• VX-3000d/CineWide

• VX-3000d Ultra/CineWide

The following models always use a cylindrical lens:

• VX-3000d/CineWide with AutoScope

• VX-3000d Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope

If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney 
(Prismatic) Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment on page 57. If you are 
installing a CineWide projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section.
