Installation
Proper installation of your Crystal Series LCD will ensure the highest possible picture quality. Whether you are installing the Crystal Series LCD temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.
You can place the Crystal Series LCD on a table or other flat, stable surface, or install it in an entertainment center.
Some Crystal Series LCD models have holes at the back of the
Note stand to allow you to secure the LCD panel to the installation surface using suitable hardware. For maximum safety and stability, Runco strongly recommends doing this whenever practical. Refer to Crystal Series LCD Dimensions on page 59 for hole locations.

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. |

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast ratio in your | Ambient Light | |
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 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 Crystal Series LCD away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
Proceed as follows to connect the Crystal Series LCD to your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.
When connecting your equipment:
•Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
•Use the correct signal cables for each source.
•Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.
•Use the left audio input when connecting mono audio sources.
