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

[AVSMike]

Thanks for posting this. I'm in the exact same upgrade process and moving from the RS400, etc.  I was never happy with the eshift HDR performance of the RS400 - and I had it professionally calibrated 2x over the 3 years I had it.  Time to move on. I think I'll be following your NX7 upgrade path.

Thx

I sent you a PM.

Great article/review, thanks. I ended up purchasing the RS2000 from Mike and also have reached out to Kris to do a calibration next time he comes through the area.  Exciting times ahead.

Thx

Some B-stock coming in.

I was reading that a preliminary US/China trade agreement has been agreed upon. The 25% tariffs that were supposed to go in effect today are now cancelled. The new tariff percentage is 7.5% and I read certain products will have no import tariff associated with them. Many of these items are in the consumer electronics segment. I wonder if this means that JVC will lower the MSRP of the RS2000/N7 back to $7,999?

I would not be holding my breath. I certainly do not expect to see a reduced MSRP.

Not sure how much increase was due to tariffs, if any. JVC only increased price on one model. I speculated that JVC put increases all on one model, but with the lens coming from Japan and the projectors built in Thailand, I just do not know what effect the tariffs had on JVC's costs.

[Dylan Seeger]

Ahh, for some reason I was under the impression the price increase was solely due to the anticipated increase on tariffs.

I also was under the impression the lens for the RS1000 and RS2000 were now being made in China. Do we know if the RS3000 lens is Japanese?

I am almost 100% sure that all three lenses are made in Japan.

I just attempted install of update 3.1 and about 1 minute in the lights went from cycling to all 3 blinking at the same time. Doesn't appear to follow what Chris (JVC) indicated in his video for the update. I'm a little nervous now as I'm not sure why this happened. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks Dale

Did it finally finish and work or no ?

Hi Craig,

No it did not progress past the 3 blinking lights. Mike reached out to JVC, so I'm waiting on next steps. Hoping to hear something really soon.

Sent you info on what to do.

Turns out Psalm234's problem was the 3D emitter was plugged into back of projector and projector would not complete the firmware update with this plugged in.
