Official Sony VPL-HW50ES Owners Thread - Page 51

Not sure what to do...I have had my new Sony 50 for about 2 weeks now. I am seeing some jittery motion when watching Regular Dish network and also while watching apple Tv. Its not any type of ghosting, but more a jittery type motion. I have attempted every type of setting I know and still seeing. I have tried Motion enhancement on High, low and off and seems to make little difference. I am begging to wonder if I have a defective projector.

Not sure what to do since not purchased locally for an evaluation by an expert. Purchased from projector people online.

Thanks for any advice and is what I am seeing normal.

Has anyone noticed the Sony heats up a sealed room if on for a couple of hours? The 5010 did as well but the Sony seems to heat up the room more.

I have seen this from time to time, but only on Dish Network. I think it's just Dish Networks service.


I don't notice that at all, but I have a pretty big room, I'm sure that makes a difference.

I've had similar issues with my Bell Sat box (same as dish) and you can fix the jittery motion by go into expert settings and turning off film mode or switching between auto 1 and auto 2. For me turning off film mode got rid off the jitter from most of the channels. I think it's doing some incorrect 3:2 pulldown on interlaced sources.

hope this works for you.

For those who have the HW50ES and are programing a universal remote  - attached are the dedicated HEX Codes (note this is for this mdl as well as others) directly from Sony.    Hope this helps.

I have not yet tested them with on my NEVO remote, but as they are from Sony Im sure they will work

I have a serial number over 800 and have mine ceiling mounted. In 3d I still got the buzzing and emailed Sony. They responded promptly stating an external emitter is on the way.

what email address?  Mine is ser #801

installsupport@am.sony.com

It does seem to put out a few additional BTU's as compared to my JVC (RS35). Nice in the winter ...

I Have my external emitter finally, projector mounted on ceiling and it works great now, no problems at all, i believe in turns off the internal emitter which i assume would eliminate any buzzing.Always stays in sync now...

Room is sealed and I have a Denon 4311ci, cinenova grande 3, seaton submersive, a voltage regulator, power conditioner, bluray player and hr34 dvr usually all on when the projector is contributing to the heat but it still seems like quite a bit more than the epson 5010. The Sony is mounted in the same spot as the epson which is essentially just above my head. Maybe it's the direction the heat goes in the Sony. I am switching my speakers to a seaton catalyst 8c flanked by 2 sparks so no more cinenova grande. Wonder if that will help or hurt.

Mine is about a foot or less directly above my head and I never notice any heat. My room stays about 72 degrees fahrenheit.

Thanks for the information Mike, probably all the extra equipment in the sealed room heating it up and the fact that the weathers getting warmer.

I have mine mounted to the back rest of my sofa, and site with the out went at my ear height, just 25 cm away and its bearable. Unlike my optoma if sat on the wrong side of it, will burn your hair.

I have bought a HW50ES last week and I have a question about what should come in the box.

I keep reading that it's supposed to come with a spare lamp, and 2 sets of 3D glasses, but my HW50ES only came with one 3D glasses and no spare lamp at all.
The box didn't look damaged or opened.

I have already contacted my vendor and sony, but they just quote what is written inside the manual, and the vendor is now requesting a second set of 3D glasses. (the manual quotes 2x glasses, but no lamp)
But I would really like to receive the spare lamp as well.

I am located in Belgium. Is there perhaps a different package in different countries ?
The sony support guy I talked to was a generic support person and didn't know the product at all, so I'm afraid I'm not getting what I paid for.

The e-mail addres installsupport@am.sony.com has been mentioned a few times in this thread, but I suspect this is only for the US market. Would anyone know a propper contact for the european market, or should I just e-mail them and ask for instructions ?

Sorry if this is off topic or against the rules, this is my first post on this forum. Feel free to point me to this forum's guidelines if I made a mistake.

Ordered mine and got spare bulb and 2 glasses.   But I am in the US.   Note that the spare bulb did NOT come in the same box, it came from the distributor.

This was the fix for me as well, give it a try and report back.

Thanks for the help guys. Going into expert settings and turning that feature to off worked. Didn't try on other user just set to off and seemed to correct issue. Thanks again

I can also confirm I had this issue with DirecTV and some compressed mkv's playing thru my PCH-C200 and turning off film mode resolved my issue as well.

I am in uk and did not get a spare lamp. I think its very unfair as we paid the same price.

Hi 3DMamper, so it appears this deal is not for european customers then.
Indeed, very unfair... but I still love the HW50ES

Hello friends

I read in the german sony forum a guy wrote sony hw50es popout(in 3d) performance is not very good, what do u think about that?

that goes against most of the popular reviews from trusted members and reviewers. There is no issues with pop-out on the HW50.

I was calibrating an HW50 last night in 3D mode and the 3D overall is impressive on this machine, especially with the FI enabled in 3D mode.

Considering it's not a DLP, it handles crosstalk fairly well and better than the current JVC's (although improvements have definitely been made). The 3D performance is similar to the Epson 5020 which is also quite good for a non-DLP.

How does the crosstalk compare with the 1000es?

Thank you brother Jason for respond, can you please check your pmbox?,

Best Regards

Cem

Anybody had trouble with the included glasses syncing? I have to stand about 12' from my screen (projector is 15' back from screen) before the glasses would sync up. The manual indicated 5m from screen for the projector mounting location would be fine. My screen is relatively high mounted and the PJ is mounted on a 2' drop mount (about 5' above my head). I also hear buzzing when it's on (so I'm going to email and ask for the external emitter.)

Beyond asking if this is normal, is there a good option for me to convert this thing to RF to use something like the Xpand Lite RF glasses? I'm really 'over' IR in general, and would much prefer that setup.

Thank you in advance.

out of curiosity what is your ser#?  Supposedly after 800 (last dig) it was supposed to be fixed.   but I did see where if you simply email them and tell them they will send you a plug in emitter   installsupport@AM.soncy.com   

Not an owner (yet) - but hoping that doesn't exclude me from asking a question from all you folks who are

Went and demo'd the Sony and the Epson today; and loved the Sony - the picture was just incredible in both 2d and 3d; but I noticed that while watching 3d with the bundled glasses I could 'see' the flickering of the lenses polarizing, and after even just a few minutes could feel eye-strain. Had no such problems with the Epson or Panasonic glasses. It was also far less evident on dimmer scenes (like the Tron light cycle section)

Has anyone else noticed this, and if so do you have suggestions on how to get around it; for example would using the Monster glasses make a difference?

On a similar note; although the detail in 3d was way better than the Epson, I found the Epson to have more depth; i.e. the snowflakes over Paris in Hugo were literally hitting me in the face on the Epson, but not on the Sony - would also welcome any comments from folk about how to get more depth from the Sony without introducing crosstalk.
