So my girlfriend and myself were watching a movie, and we shut it down to go outside and play with the dog. We came back in about an hour later, and turned the projector on. The lens cover opened, and the green light and fan came on, then suddenly it lit up standby and warning, while the lamp...

Hello! About 3 years ago, I went through a lot of research before ultimately purchasing a JVC HD250. It's been a great projector, and I hate to let it go. That said, we're selling our house, and the buyers are intent on keeping our theater room intact for themselves. So, as we desperately...

I am about to try updating my RS40 to 1.8. I'm somewhat computer literate but the last time I updated it seems I remember having some problems with the instructions published by JVC on their website. Does anyone have some hints on interpreting the instructions and coming through with a good...

I wish that I had BIGmouthinDC building my theater, but I will be doing the work myself. I have been lurking on the forums for five years, absorbing info and biding my time until my turn came around. I owe a huge thanks to the members who post and share their knowledge so generously here...

I didn't have much time with it or have much time in the next several days but would like to say a few things.. Coming from a JVC RS40 this Sony simply blows it away. Words or pictures cannot describe the quality of the picture this spits out, one must see it in person, I know pics don't do...

AVS member Paul Morgan (Moggie) dreamed of building his own  home theater  for 10 years, inspired largely by AVS Forum. "It taught me just about everything I know today and was 90 percent of my  inspiration, " he says. There was only one problem—the best place for it was under his house in Santa...

I had a JVC RS40 which I used together with a Da-Lite 110" High Power screen. I have had this idea that bright projectors such as the recent Epson/Panasonic ones (or even DLPs such as W7000) which have lower native contrast can still generate a 2D image that can match that of a JVC if they are...

I have a low hours (under 500) JVC DLA-RS40 for sale that is in excellent condition. I purchased this projector new from AV Science store and it is comes equipped with a very low hours (i.e., less than 70 hrs.) latest generation lamp (ver 003 with the flapper). I will also include the...

After about 2 months with the BenQ W1070 I decided to buy a used JVC RS40 en Ebay (with 347H on lamp, I decided to change mainly for the better blacks). It finally arrived yesterday and I got to make a side by side comparison so I thought I could share my observations with the forum. BenQ is...

My JVC RS40 performed perfectly since I bought it in March of 2011 from AVS (i.e., it's just out of warranty!). Then, a few days ago, I put on a DVD which looked dark, with the color shifted to red. I thought it was a bulb, but then noticed that the TV looked OK (TV is on HDMI2, DVD on HDMI1)...

Can have a JVC-RS40 for 1500 $ with glasses and the lamp has 500 hour, i already have a epson 8700UB that I like very much... What do you think, does it worth the change? Can sell my epson 1200 $ to a friend... so the RS-40 will cost 300 $..... Thanks

Hoping for some help here. Just mounted my JVC RS40 projector and I get no signal with my 40ft Redmere Monoprice HDMI Cable. This cable was tested working fine from TV->source before I ran the cable. - Projector works fine if i temporarily hook up a normal short cable to my computer. -...

I have a jvc rs 40 that I got as a b stock from avscience. It is still under warranty until march. I love the image of this projector and be perfectly happy holding onto it until 4k or better light sources become available. But I can't help but worry if this thing will hold up, specifically...

Does anyone have any technical information on how to use the "Remote Control" port on the back of the JVC RS40/X3 projector? I currently have a Xantech connector block that I use to control my Denon equipment and it works fine. However, it does not work with the JVC projector. I contacted...

Sold by JVC through ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/jvcprostore/m.html?item=130960017227&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 I purchased a 40U two weeks ago from them and it had zero hours on the bulb and is working great. Comes with full 2 year warranty.

Hey all, My RS40 has 600 hours on it using it inverted in a ceiling mount, I have moved to a new place and now need to shelf mount. Will that cause lamp issues, flicker etc? Cheers

Guys have a lens shift question that I need help with as I'm math challenged....I'm in a rental right now so don't want to mount on the ceiling and don't have a shelf behind the sofa or a wall (not a WAF way anyway) so thinking of putting the PJ on a cabinet to the side of the room. So if I'm...
