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

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.

Wow, that must be a bug JVC will be happy to hear about. This is good to know if/when I need to do an update on mine. I currently have my emitter plugged in.

Yeah, I would recommend removing the emitter when doing an update. The update process would error out almost immediately with the emitter plugged in. I finally got the 3.1 update installed.

Not sure it was the emitter now, because I have talked to several others that have had zero problems updating, with 3D emitter in place.

This is not an issue with every unit / every emitter. I've had my JVC OEM 3D RF emitter plugged in for all my f/w updates on the rs2000, including 3.1, without any issues.

Which 3D emitter are you using? Is it the OEM JVC RF emitter?

[Dylan Seeger]

I can't 100% remember, but I think I had my XPand 3D emitter plugged in when doing the v3.1 firmware update on the RS2000. Maybe it's just with specific emitters?

I updated with my JVC emitter installed as well. I probably should just take it out...I haven't watched a 3D movie in probably 2 years and my glasses are the original JVC ones that don't work with my screen.

On another subject, Manni, I just upgraded to a scope screen that's the same height as my old 88" diagonal screen and WOW, what a difference on scope films. Totally blown away by the difference. I have some pictures in the 2.35:1 screen forum.

I saw you mentioning this screen upgrade, I'm very happy for you. I wish it would be possible to do the same in my room, unfortunately I've maxxed my screen size at 88" (16/9). The only way I could get larger scope films would be to have a smaller picture for narrower ratios, as my room is height limited, and I don't want that. I hope I'll find a way to move house at some point, that's the only way to a larger screen for me...

Just an FYI, JVC dealer will be getting hit with another price increase on the RS2000/NX7 February 1st.
That is the bad news. The good news is the free lamp promotion for the RS2000/NX7 carries through to end of march.

Is this because of tariffs again?  If not, I cannot help but wonder if JVC realizes how under-priced the RS2000 is compared to the Sony 695 (probably its closest competitor in its class).

Price increase is hitting all three. The RS1000 is getting hit with a smaller increase. The RS3000 is also getting hit with about the same increase as the RS2000. 

[Dylan Seeger]

Do we know how much of a price increase there's going to be?

[AVSMike]

Several hundred.

That's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I kind of figured JVC would match the 695ES at $10,000  for the RS2000 and maybe up the price of the RS3000 to $20,000 to get closer to the 885ES.

The RS3000 at $20K would be too close to the RS4500.

Since installing my RS2000 a few months ago, and also installing newest firmware, I have had an off and on problem with volume completely failing to function upon start up or upon switching input.  (Video remains in great shape).  Sometimes it is just a 1 to 3 minute delay, and sometimes it just will not work at all.  I can usually get it going by unplugging everything and rebooting the entire system and restarting everything.  I switched from Roku to Apple TV, took my Cox cable receiver box out of the system.  Same result regardless of reconfiguring.  I am wondering if it is some kind of handshake issue between my receiver (Yamaha Aventage RX-A3050) and my RS2000.  I hate to fork out a couple of grand on a new receiver unless I am pretty sure that either: 1) The receiver and the RS2000 just do not like each other, or 2) The receiver is just sick and the timing of the problem with the installation of the new projector was just a coincidence. 

Appreciate any advise or experiences.  And if this would be better in a receiver topic thread, I am glad to move it.

Are you using a Universal Remote with macros? You may have to change the sequence of things starting and add in a delay to ensure that handshakes take place at the right time.
