MEMO

About Cool Down mode

  • The Cool Down mode is a function to cool down the lamp for approximately 60 seconds after projection is complete. This function prevents the internal parts of the unit from deformation or damage due to overheating of the lamp. It also prevents lamp blowout and premature shortening of lamp life.
    ● During Cool Down mode, the [STANDBY/ON] indicator blinks in red.
    ● After the Cool Down mode is complete, the unit automatically returns to standby mode.
  • Do not pull out the power plug during Cool Down mode. This may shorten the lamp life and cause a malfunction.

Convenient Features during Projection

You can change the screen size of the projected image or hide the surrounding area of an image for which quality at the outer area has deteriorated.

Setting the Screen Size

The projected image can be set to a most appropriate screen size (aspect ratio).

About Cool Down mode

  • The Cool Down mode is a function to cool down the lamp for approximately 60 seconds after projection is complete. This function prevents the internal parts of the unit from deformation or damage due to overheating of the lamp. It also prevents lamp blowout and premature shortening of lamp life.
    ● During Cool Down mode, the [STANDBY/ON] indicator blinks in red.
    ● After the Cool Down mode is complete, the unit automatically returns to standby mode.
  • Do not pull out the power plug during Cool Down mode. This may shorten the lamp life and cause a malfunction.

Convenient Features during Projection

You can change the screen size of the projected image or hide the surrounding area of an image for which quality at the outer area has deteriorated.

Setting the Screen Size

The projected image can be set to a most appropriate screen size (aspect ratio).

THX has leveraged more than 25 years of filmmaking, cinema design and post-production expertise to partner with JVC to engineer a best-in-class home theater projector.

With a strict focus on image quality and signal processing performance, THX certification promises that this JVC projector is capable of presenting a wide range of video content at maximum resolutions with the correct color and luminance levels. In addition, THX has created a battery of signal processing tests that challenge the projector's scaling, motion conversion and de-interlacing capabilities. This type of in-depth analysis predicts how the projector will present a variety of high definition and standard definition content.

The JVC projector also features THX Movie Mode, a pre-calibrated video setting for watching movies on DVD, Blu-ray HD or broadcast television. This playback feature is designed to recreate the cinema experience at home by setting the display's gamma, luminance, color temperature and other settings to mirror those used by filmmakers in post-production. THX Movie Mode also ensures projector brightness is optimal for large screen viewing.

MEMO

About Cool Down mode

  • The Cool Down mode is a function to cool down the lamp for approximately 60 seconds after projection is complete. This function prevents the internal parts of the unit from deformation or damage due to overheating of the lamp. It also prevents lamp blowout and premature shortening of lamp life.
    ● During Cool Down mode, the [STANDBY/ON] indicator blinks in red.
    ● After the Cool Down mode is complete, the unit automatically returns to standby mode.
  • Do not pull out the power plug during Cool Down mode. This may shorten the lamp life and cause a malfunction.

Convenient Features during Projection

You can change the screen size of the projected image or hide the surrounding area of an image for which quality at the outer area has deteriorated.

Setting the Screen Size

The projected image can be set to a most appropriate screen size (aspect ratio).

Maintenance Procedures

Dirt on the cabinet

- Gently clean dirt on the cabinet with a soft cloth. In the case of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in water, wring dry and wipe, followed by wiping again with a dry cloth. Pay attention to the following as the cabinet may deteriorate in condition or paint may come off.

- Do not wipe with thinner or benzene.

- Do not spray with volatile chemicals like insecticide.

- Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products.

Dirt in the air inlets

- Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dirt. Otherwise, use a cloth to wipe off the dirt. If dirt is allowed to accumulate in the air inlets, the internal temperature cannot be adjusted and this may cause a malfunction.

Dirt on the lens

- Clean the dirt using commercial blowers or lens cleaning papers for cleaning glasses and cameras. Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to peeling of the surface coating film. (P13)
