Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary infrared (IR) codes to which the DHD Controller will respond. By default, both are set to

17. You can change these codes if either:

•Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands from the DHD Controller remote control (Figure 2-6)in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.

•You have multiple DHD Controllers and want to control them independently, as opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or, you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a specific device.

Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change its IR code.

Tip Then, change the code sent by the remote to match as described below.

VX-55D, VX-44D specifications

The Runco VX-55D and VX-44D projectors represent a pinnacle in home theater technology, offering expansive image quality and immersive viewing experiences. Runco, known for its commitment to delivering exceptional visual performance, has integrated numerous features and advanced technologies in these models.

Another impressive characteristic of the Runco VX series is its exceptional contrast ratios.

Coupled with advanced color management capabilities, users can further tweak their viewing experience to match their preferences.

The integration of flexible installation options is another highlight of these projectors. They support up to 10-point digital keystone correction, making setup simple and adaptable to various room configurations. This flexibility ensures that no matter the space, users can achieve a perfectly aligned and geometrically accurate image.

Runco has also designed the VX-55D and VX-44D with user-friendly interfaces, including intuitive remote controls and on-screen menus. Both projectors come equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices seamlessly. Additionally, they support 3D content playback, a feature that has become increasingly important for enhancing the cinematic experience.

Energy efficiency is a consideration in the design of these projectors as well, making them not only high-performance devices but also more sustainable than many of their counterparts. With a sleek aesthetic, the Runco VX-55D and VX-44D can seamlessly blend into any home theater setup, adding a touch of elegance while providing an extraordinary viewing experience.

In summary, the Runco VX-55D and VX-44D projectors are characterized by their high-definition resolution, advanced DLP technology, rich color processing, and flexible installation options, making them ideal choices for any home theater enthusiast looking to elevate their viewing experience.
