Just got the RS1000.I can't mount it until I get the Chief mount tomorrow.I set it on a table below my ceiling mounted Sony. It powered up fine. It came with firmware 2.04I accessed the menu and did some focus, zoom etc.. I unplugged my Sony HDMI from the Denon AVR.I plugged in a spare 25ft Redmere cable from the Denon to the RS1000. I get a good signal with the Denon off in pass-through mode, but as soon as I turn the Denon on I get no signal?My Denon HDMI settings are all on Auto. Do you think once I mount it and hook up my Rupio Optic cable it will work? Or should I be trying something else? Seems weird it is working fine in pass-through?Thanks,
Well, as it turns out, must be the 25' Redmere cable. I moved the projector and table right next to the Denon, plugged in a 3' 4k certified cable and it works fine.I won't know until I mount it if my 40' Fiber optic RUIPRO cable will work.Fingers crossed!I'm pleased the projector works after shipping. This thing is a monster! compared to my Sony. I'm going to need help with lifting and mounting this one!I updated to firmware 2.07, figured I'd get that out of the way before I mess with the settings.
Is it one of the thin Redmere HDMI cables ? I found those not to work. Hopefully your Ruipro cable will work ( it should ).
I just want to be sure (you know, measure twice cut once!). I'm hanging my RS1000 with the recommended Chief mount tomorrow.First thing, bolt the plate to the RS1000. Then, slide the projector/plate assembly on the mount that's bolted to the ceiling, and tighten all six thumb screws. Then, I assume I should use a level on the Chief plate that's bolted to the RS1000, and level the RS1000/plate assembly with the mount adjustments. Then, turn on and make final motorized adjustments? I know this is simple stuff, but haven't done it in a long time.Thanks,
Finally going to join the RS2000 club sometime in the next couple of weeks.
You need to make sure the mount/projector is level with your screen, not necessarily the ground. You may find that if the screen wasn't hung perfectly level you'll need to play around with the mount to get the correct geometry on screen. I'm fortunate enough to have a utility room directly behind my theater so I can shelf mount all my projectors thus removing the headache of using a ceiling mount haha. It also means I don't have to worry as much about heat or noise coming from the projector in my theater.
Be sure to let us know your thoughts when you get it. I forget, what projector are you replacing?
Looking forward to reading your impressions, as we moved up from the same model to the same model
It's a game of follow the leader
