One other problem I've noticed with my RS1000 that I haven't seen anybody mention anywhere:There have been maybe 4-5 times where the blue/yellow elements of the image will en masse get shifted over an enormous amount, to where blue and/or yellow ghost image versions of things will appear something like a foot or more off to the side of where they should be. Anybody on here hear of this, see this, or have any idea what this might be? It has happened while watching Blu-Rays on a Blu-Ray player, while playing an Xbox One, and even during the D-ILA screen when the projector turns on, before it's sending an image from anything but the projector itself.Whenever this has happened, I've shut off the projector and turned it back on, and every time it has fixed it, but still this is a bizarre thing to happen and to have to correct.
I buyed a N5 two weeks ago. During the second movie played (Ultra HD Blu-ray) the screen immedately showed the following problems, as you con see on the attached photo: in the middle and on the left, there were blue bars over the entire screen which flashed like an equalizer. Also the menu on the beamer was distored and flashed.The only solution was to shutdown the beamer, afterwards it worked again. This happend 3 times and then I've decided to bring it back. The dealer exchanged it with a new one. The old had firmware 2.04, the new had 1.2x and now i've upgraded the new to 2.01. So far, this problem did not re-appear luckily
JVC has a beta firmware (2.05) that should take care of the blue bar problem.
A couple of people on AVS Forum have reported that it did NOT fix the problem for them. What do you know about that?I should point out, that since the problem is relatively infrequent, it could appear to be fixed when it really is not. I would have to go at least a week before I was sure that it was fixed.There also may be some confusion. For me and some others, the problem is not just blue bars, but green bars and even (on a rare occasion) purple bars. Could that be a different problem?Since applying the update also requires doing a factory reset (which would lose all my settings), I'm reluctant to do it until I'm fairly sure it will fix the problem.
Lets hope JVC get the 4K projectors fixed during the next generations, ill really like to get one, but this reminds me a bit of all the issues JVC had with the first 2 generations of the last chassis. I would blow a gasket if i had to waste my time and money on a shitshow like that one more time.And the N5 i demoed looked surprisingly bad with factory settings, the Sony 270 slapped that one around big time out of the box.
Yes ver 2.05 does not fix the problem. N5 here that has green vertical lines ...still there after the 2.05 update ( including FULL reset) . Appeared to be OK initially but re appeared after 9 hrs use.
Hows JVC handeling all these replacements, do they cover instalation, and recalibration expenses, and how do they compensate owners for all the hazzle.? Have they done any callback to fix any of these issues, or like in the past just ignored it and hope it goes away by itself.?Whats the general opinion about JVC QC and customer service these days.?
