1. DIGITAL INPUTS e DVI1 DVI 2 These are High Definition Digital inputs Runco recommends using these digital inputs whenever possible Using the DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path from source component output through the DHD and finally into the projector This maintains maximum signal purity Use these inputs to connect Digital High Definition sources that have a DVI output such as HD tuners and set top boxes satellite receivers DVD players etc PROJECTOR CONFIGURATION Now that your DHD Controller has been installed it s time to get it configured for use in your system The VX 1000d DHD is defaulted for RGBHV interface between the DHD controller and the VX 1000d projector Superior picture quality will be obtained if you connect the two units together with a DVI cable Please follow the proce dures and recommendations below Changing from RGBHV to DVI output Connect the controller and projector with RGBHV and follow the steps list ed below on the projected OSD on screen display or use the procedure using the florescent display on the con troller 1 First connect all sources DVD VCR Satellite receiver etc to the DHD if this has not already been done Also ensure all sources are ON and functioning if possible Connect the phone line RJ 11 between Projector and controller P2. pvz OUTPUTS ANALOG OUTPUTS BNC Connectors The various output lines used to drive the analog input of the display device Individually the jacks are V vertical sync H horizontal sync B Blue G Green R Red Connect these to the corre sponding projector inputs NOTE If DVI input is used with HDCP content RGBHV output is automatically disabled This is in compliance with HDCP regulations To switch to DVI output see Projector Configuration on page 15 DVI OUT The DVI digital link used to drive the digital input of an HDCP compliant display device Connect to the projector s DVI inputs 1 INPUTS 3 DVI 1 Digital DVI input 1 HDCP compliant DVI 2 Digital DVI input 2 HDCP compliant HD 1 Analog BNC connectors High Definition input 1 can be RGB HV or YPrPb 480i 480P 720P or 1080i HD 2 Analog BNC connectors High Definition input 1 can be RGB HV or YPrPb 480i 480P 720P or 1080i COMPONENT INPUT RCA connectors Standard Definition 480i 576i Component YPrPb input This is the input for component video from sources such as DVD players For best results do not run DVD player in progressive mode Remote Control Description 1 ON OFF Switches Power ON OFF This does not operate when POWER STANDBY indicator of T the main unit is off 2 IR OUTPUT INDICATOR Illuminates when a button in pressed indicating that
