Congratulations on your purchase of the DTV-947/VHD Controller system! The processor is designed to work with the DTV-947 projector, and will provide full aspect ratio control as well as greatly enhanced picture quality. As a result the aspect ratio control feature within the controller allows the projector to stay in a single memory, making integr[...]

While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your VHD- Controller, the examples shown above are the most common and are recommended by Runco. • COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT: Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality. Many sources have outputs that are limited to composite[...]

11-12 To get started using your DTV-947 system, follow these simple steps: 1. Ensure all sources that you are using are properly connected to the controller. This is something your Runco dealer has probably already done for you; if not, please refer to the ‘Connection Examples’ and the owners manuals of each appro- priate source as necessary. 2[...]

11-13 QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Overall Functional Description The VHD-Controller’s purpose is twofold. First, it provides aspect ratio control for the projectors, and can do so on either a WIDESCREEN or a standard 4:3 screen. Second, it provides a clean, progressive signal to the projector. The processing the controller uses is called SCALING. Scaling [...]

11-14 The main menu (shown above) includes two sections: Source Selection/ Picture quality adjustments and Functional adjustments. Pressing MENU on the front panel or on the remote control will bring up the main menu. In the menu shown above, Composite video is selected as the current source. This is indicated by an arrow to the left of ‘COMPOSIT[...]

Aspect Ratio allows selection of one of the three aspect ratios provided by the controller. You have two options for selecting an aspect ratio: First, highlight ASPECT RATIO on the main menu, then press ENTER. Then select the desired aspect ratio, and again press ENTER. The second option is to simply press the UP or DOWN arrows on the remote or fro[...]

11-16 After pressing ENTER, the picture quality menu will appear (the menu to the right of the main menu above). To adjust a certain function, highlight it with the or DOWN buttons, and press ENTER. The following will then appear on-screen (we’ll use COLOR as an example): MENU DESCRIPTION AND NAVIGATION COMPOSITE COLOR: 0 A GC ENABLED To Change t[...]

• SHARPNESS This controls the ‘high-frequency’ detail of the image. The more sharpness is increased, the more detail is added into the picture. However, if it is increased too much, it will also increase ‘noise’ in the picture as well as other types of artifacts. This may be set to personal preference; midrange is factory-preset. • LUMA[...]

11-18 An ‘aspect ratio’ is simply the ratio of the width vs. the height of the screen. For example, the current aspect ratio standard is 4:3 (or 1.33:1), where the image is 4 units wide and 3 units tall. Aspect Ratios First, the Basics 4 units wide 3 units tall All of our ‘regular’ televisions are this aspect ratio. You have probably notice[...]

As you can see, our screen in this example is a 1.85:1 ratio. The dashed lines show the area that we ‘blanked’. If you recall, watching a letterbox movie on a 4:3 screen gave us black bars; therefore with letterbox movies, we’re not losing any information! The ‘other’ type of widescreen is called ‘ANAMORPHIC’. The image is still a wid[...]
