We watched Journey2 which had excellent 3D throughout the entire movie. We have been using Reference Pic mode (even updated my settings in my Review) which is the brightest. I ported over most of my other 3D settings under Cinema 2. smile.gif

So who has successfully integrated this into a home automation system, especially Control4?

Have you watched red tails yet? Curious how your pj handled the motion particularly in the first 10 minutes?

Hey Guys,

I recently bought 3 additional pairs of 3D glasses for my VW-1000ES, they are the same reference as the one provided with the projector but I can't get them to work.

I can see that they are clearly switching on and are working but it's like they are not synchronizing with the projector, I tried to read both the PJ and glasses manual but couldn't find anything useful, beside switching the projector on and then the glasses is there anything else I should be doing?

Thanks

[edit]

Forgot to add that the 2 supplied pair of glasses are working flawlessly

Are you sure, you did get the PJ1´s ? and not the BR250 ( who looks the same, but dont have the filter incorporated )

damn you're right, they are the BR250, I guess I will have to sell those an buy the correct model, it's a bit annoying that they look exactly the same but don't work for the vw-1000 but that's my fault for not asking before I bought them.

the BR250's will work if you buy the 'filter pack' from Sony service parts. If I recall, they are $14.99 per set of glasses. They are a thin polarizing filter that snaps into the front of the lens and will work fine.

The BR50's are smaller and popular with younger visitors to the HT. Same situation, they need the filter kit to work with the HW30/VW95/VW1000.

if you want to keep them, I can find the part #'s / Sony website where you can order them from.

edit: here you go just in case.. more expensive than I remembered @ $22.

I use the filters on 3 BR50s....and have never had a problem, minus the occasional smudge!

I recommend you skip the filters unless you have no way to get rid of the wrong glasses or need smaller glasses than the stock ones.

I'm really trying to decide if my PJ needs to be returned for motion problems and would like some feedback from you all on how well your units handle motion.

I find it really bad compared to high end plasmas and even worse than some of my cheaper LCD flat panels. I was really expecting it to be almost non existant from everyone's comments on how well it handles it. I'm running out of time for the exchange so really need to make the decision. Everything else with this unit seems just about perfect so dont want to exchange it if others are having motion issues but just dont care to mention it.

ESPN bottom line scrolling extreme judder every few minutes

Red Tails first flight scene is horrible then the rest of the flight scenes show signs quite frequently throughout the movie

Sherlock Holmes new film is filled with judder and the worst scene is when Watson's wife is pushed off the bridge. She is one big blur

If someone could please either verify that this is on par with how well it handles motion or confirm that it shouldnt show judder this often would be very helpful! I've tried all the setting you all have mentioned and reset the PJ back to default as well and the issues are still there.

Did you mention a few posts back that your convergence was way off? You could have an issue with the projector in general. Just call and replace it. They send another almost overnight without hassle.

Motion was not bad on Red Tails or at least not as bad as you are describing yours. Sure it is a rough movie for motion but... I think you may have a bad unit. Especially since ESPN and other channels look excellent with motion. If you are sending in 1080p and using Film 2 or Off for sports and still experiencing issues then it has to be your particular unti.

I did a few "tweaks" to my theater this week. Not anything that hasn't been done before by any means but a reminder to others that there are still a few things you can do for "cheap" that will make your Home Theater experience that much better. smile.gif

Go to my home page (directions in Sig) to check them out. Can't believe even with new Huddler AVS my site is still blocked... eek.gif

Yeah, I'll never have another HT without black/dark ceilings. Makes a world of difference!

Next on my HT list is covering every inch with fabric and accoustic treatments, but that will have to wait until the landscaping is finished.

What type of finish is on your ceiling lighting. I'm going to paint all my cans as well since I've painted all my outlet covers, registers, and termostat flat black.

Yes, Red is off by 12 clicks. I know they will replace it but just want to be sure it really doesnt handle motion any better than my unit is showing since everything else is 100% A OK. Still cant get the 3D external emitter to work either but will switch to monster I guess since most like the color better and can move your head all you want without problems.

I went ahead and asked AVS to send request for new unit if my findings arent on par with how it should handle motion. Joerods confirmation about Red Tails is encouraging now if someone could verify they dont have problems with the Sherlock scene, that would be awesome.

Just curious as to how you all are focusing after switching from one aspect to another.

Have any of you counted the clicks for up down left or right way can do it from you seat or do you all get up and watch the little dots?

Good point about the can lights. And before I had the area all around and above my screen already black but I am loving the rest of the ceilin the same! Since I have been doing renovations this week sorry I haven't been able to check out Sherlock. I will soon but I'd hope someone else can as well since I don't want to be the only one you base your decision on swapping. smile.gif

Turn of panel convergence and see if you still feel there are issues, you may have fringing of course, but at least you are eliminating the processing required for the software convergence adjustment.

You can pinch 10 girls in the ass and not all of them will react the same way - you may be more sensitive to motion blurring than others. The 1000 has far better mh than any jvc I've owned, but there are times you seen panning judder that I wish was not there...(there's a black and white commercial for a financial institution that pans back and forth and up and down across the worried faces of us real folk which could be the poster child for this judder. But every set I own shows this.)

How much fringing is acceptable out of the box with Panel Alignment not adjusted yet? If there are heavy fringes of neon colors apparent but one of the panel alignments clears it up at say V -9 and H needs 0, then is it acceptable? Is one behind the eight ball if the default alignment is a good amount off? Would this still effect the Post "adjusted/aligned "picture

If the vertical and horizontal pattern post adjustment become white and razor sharp post adjustment, is preadjustment heavy fringing irrelevant?

How off have all your 1000s been pre panel adjustment? Please answer from the numerical clicks needed to adjust the panels perfectly. Also comment if there was heavy colored fringing (pre panel adjustment) for those that needed a large amount of clicks.

This may be helpful to others.

Mine was pretty much spot on. Hardly needed to adjust at all. I say if the misalignment is substantial, I wouldn't want to keep the projector. Have the thing replaced.

Same for mine. I may have had to do a few clicks at most. Something just doesn't add up. I'd return it.

I don't need to do any re-focusing after zooming and lens shifting back and forth between 16x9 and 2.35.    And I think this is typically the case.

Since my projector is boxed up and pretty much unavailable, would someone mind measuring the distance from the front of the projector to the center of where the pole goes up into the mount?

I'm thinking it was 10 inches from dead center of the pole to the edge of the lens but will confirm this evening.

Yes, it is right at 10" may want to give just a tad bit of extra room as its kinda hard to measure from center of pipe.

But every set I own shows this.)

I returned all the settings to default a few days ago just to rule everything else out and no changes in how it handles motion.

I may very well see it more easily than others and thats why I want others to look at the scenes I mentioned. If the scene where Watson's wife is thrown from the train doesnt show up on others units then I'll know for sure as it is the worst scene I have noticed so far. Its really bad and she is a total blob/blur. I would just hate to exchange it only to end up having other problems while still seeing the motion issues with it as well.

But the next reply I'm about to make will really change my mind if it stands to be true.

Wow. This may be the determining factor that something is most deffinately wrong with the unit then.

I have to refocus it by a good amount between each format. The size is changed spot on every time but the focus is not changed with it. The little circles are far from circles each time I switch between the aspects and I have to stand up next to the screen to dial them in correctly.

Anyone else have to do this?
