JVC DLA-RS1000/N5 & RS2000/NX7 Owners Thread

[Dylan Seeger]

Tom, enjoy the protector!

I had a screening night for Spiderman Far From Home today with some friends. The RS2000 looked marvelous with this movie. The 4K Blu-ray looks amazing too. The sound track on this movie is very good. Great surround effects and b tons of bass.

Yes, throws a great image.   Can't wait to see how people like JVC's new DTM once available.

I received my RS2000 in great shape last Friday and swapped it out with my RS500U the same day.  I am so impressed!  I adjusted the lens shift and zoom and tweaked a few minor picture settings to suit, and it really does a sweet job.  Network/cable TV for NFL games leaves a little (or a lot) to be desired.  But I bought it for movies and streaming series.  I can still do football on my old, faithful Panasonic plasmas.  The 4K discs on the Oppo 205 as well as 4K on the streaming services make for big smiles.  Thanks AVSMike.  It was a very nice improvement to our theater room.

I'm hearing this from a lot of folks upgrading to the RS2000. Enjoy your new projector !

From beta testing, I am hearing that the new DTM is really good.

I was looking at my RS2000 firmware to see if it was up to date.  I have 2.07 running and JVC support sight says 2.08 is most current.  Web sight also offers Projector Calibration Software.

On projector calibration software, it lists requirements to include PC with MS Windows 10, 8 or 7.

On firmware update, it just says PC capable of downloading the zip file to a 1GB+ USB drive with FAT32 format.

I have a house full of Apple computers and not a single MS product to be found. 

I think I read this as saying 1) No MS Windows, no calibration software download is possible, and 2) However, using a "capable PC"  to download firmware to a USB FAT32 drive is perfectly OK and will work (so would a MAC be ok for this?), or is a "capable PC" meant to indicate it must also have a Windows OS? 

Before I mess something up and lock up my projector, how should I interpret?

My preference would be to simply plug an ethernet line into the projector and do it via a live download. But absent that option, download the file on my MAC desktop, transfer it to the USB drive, plug USB into RS2000, follow directions and presto!  Is that possible? 

Thanks.

The calibration software has only been developed for Windows, therefore macOS can't be used to run the auto-calibration software. It is possible to run the program in Boot Camp within macOS. Boot Camp is emulation software that allows you to run an instance of Windows within macOS. See here for more information:

https://support.apple.com/boot-camp

However, for a firmware update, you can use macOS. The one requirement is that the USB drive has to be formatted to FAT32. Here is a guide on how to do that:

Got it.  Very helpful.  Thanks Dylan.  

[AVSCraig]

I'm so glad they made it easy to update firmware with the USB port !

Thanks Craig.  That is helpful.

This may be a silly, newb question, but....

I am having an issue and I am not sure what to think about it.  Things are working great in 4K HDR at 30Hz or 24Hz.  But setting Roku to 4K HDR at 60Hz is a no go.  Oppo 205 is no go set to HDR at 60Hz as well.  Is the RS2000 spec'd for HDR at 60Hz?  Is there a setting someplace I am missing?  A weak link messing something up?  Cables??

Most likely your cables are the culprit.

I had this same behavior with the same equipment when I first setup my nx7. I changed to a high speed hdmi cable and everything cleared up. My new cable was just a amazon basics high speed hdmi about 30ft long. Just happened to have one laying around so that was nice.
