Very descriptive user manual compared to previous years:

I read the manual yesterday as well, and was pleased to find this graphic description of the various adjustments.

But while I understand conceptually, and in terms of what it's doing to the image's histogram (I think in terms of photographic still images), what these adjustments do, I think it would have been better to use the same image to demonstrate the changes the different controls make.

With the ones they use, the bright and dark level adjustments, left to right, still seem to add brightness throughout the tonal range, just as the picture tone adjustment does.  Looking at the bright level photos, the foreground, which contains the most darker shadows, brightens up considerably as the adjustment is made left to right.  Similarly, with the dark level photos, the bright areas increase quite a bit as well.

So I'm not convinced these pictures actually demonstrate what these individual controls are in fact designed to do.

I would hope the actual effect is more precise than these photos would indicate, with DL and BL more selectively adjusting the Dark and Bright areas respectively, while leaving the other areas alone.  Perhaps some of us can provide a better set of pictures once these units are in our hands!

Let's hope the engineers are more detail-oriented than the manual writers and proofreaders...

The manuals weren't on the RS1000 / 2000 JVC website pages yesterday. Didn't think to look at the NX website.

I like the new anamorphic modes on these !

Webinar was yesterday and the JVC guy doing the presentation said N7/N9 units ship "end of October", ie now and are available mid November. So 2-3 weeks?

Also something to note.... JVC expects the X790/RS540 to remain in stock only until about April or May. Once JVC is out of 1080p DiLA chips that's it. From here on out only 4K DiLA chips will be made.

No. New info came out yesterday. Delay for all three models. Will not arrive in US until end of November.

Hopefully they are being conservative, and some start shipping sooner. Who knows. Anyway, 4 more weeks won't kill anybody.

Some people act like it's the end.  One guy was alluding he was on the verge of going with the 695 because he cannot wait any longer...before this delay.

That's silly. It's not like they are being asked to not eat food for a month until that new restaurant opens up.

The irony is that most people currently own an eshift v4/v5 projector or a previous generation Sony 4K model. Projectors that look quite excellent in their own right which I'm sure can and will hold people over for a few more weeks.
