CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS RUNCO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM RUNCO AUTHORIZED
DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY.
MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS

Thank you for your purchase of this quality Runco video projector! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video
that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the
menus and operation.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of
the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by Runco.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could
cause damage to this unit.
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to
removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of
lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.

Description, Features
and Benefits
Runco further solidifies its leadership role with the introduction of the Video Xtreme™
VX-22i Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector. This overachiever combines
state-of-the-art, 1920x1080 SuperOnyx™ DLP™ resolution with advanced 3-chip
engineering. The results are simply stunning, with jaw-dropping images that must be seen
to be believed!
Runco has taken 1080p performance to a new level with this machine and harnessed the
brightness and contrast capabilities inherent in 3-chip light engine design for a powerful
presentation.
The VX-22i is equipped with an all-digital signal processor/controller featuring advanced
Vivix II™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. The VX-22i is
enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum
installation flexibility.
The VX-22i’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing,
while its 3-chip, 1920x1080 native resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high-definition
images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail.
This advanced design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for
absolutely stellar pictures. In addition, Runco’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its
unique VirtualWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss
of image quality.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-22i can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending CineWide™
technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater.
When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply
gets wider while full height is maintained. Also available with the VX-22i is CineWide with
AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
Key Features and BenefitsThe VX-22i offers these key features and benefits:
Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (16:9 Native Aspect Ratio)
Three-chip Digital Light Processing (DLP™) system
Two HDMI Inputs with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
HDTV Compatible
Multiple lens options for stunning sharpness and throw distance flexibility
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide
format screen.
