Runco VX-6000D manual Tip

Operation

Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary infrared (IR) codes to which the VX-6000d 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 standard DHD remote control (Figure 2-5)in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.

•You have multiple VX-6000d projectors 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 projector.

Tip

Note

Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change the projector IR code. Then, change the code sent by the remote to match as described below.

Do not change the “Type” setting in this menu.

When you change a remote code on the VX-6000d, you must re-program the standard DHD remote control to send that same code. To do this:

1. Using a straightened paper clip or similar object, press and hold the CODE button on the remote control for approximately three seconds, or until the red LED on the remote lights solid red.

2. Enter a new two-digit code between 00 and 31 inclusive. Include a leading zero for single-digit codes; for example, enter 9 as “09.”

3.The LED turns off to confirm the code change. If you enter an invalid code, the LED flashes for three or four seconds. Try again, entering a valid code.

Analog Out Mode: Select Analog Out Mode from the Service menu to change the output sync polarity from the DHD Controller. The choices are RGB-- (separate sync with negative polarity), RGB++ (separate sync with positive polarity) or RGBS (composite sync).

Display Device: The options in the Display Device menu allow you to change the picture orientation, adjust the amount of overscan and access other projector-specific functions.

•Configure: Select Configure from the Display Device menu. Then:

•Orientation: Select Orientation to change the picture orientation to suit the method of installation (Floor Front, Floor Rear, Ceiling Front or Ceiling Rear).

•Overscan: Refer to Overscan on page 58.

•Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Display Device menu to adjust the lamp output level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (“1”) or you can choose the lower setting (“0”). Generally, lower lamp output can prolong the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.

•Fan Mode: If the projector is being used in a high-altitude environment, use the Fan Mode control to prevent it from overheating. Set it to High Altitude (“1”) to run the fan at high speed; set it to Normal (“0”) to run the fan at normal speed.

•Lamp Hours: To display the number of hours that the lamp has been in service, press or to highlight Lamp Hours.
