I've had my 52" JVC D-ILA for two weeks now and I've only got one major problem with it -- a loud fan noise. I can easily hear it from the listening position, except when the audio from the source is fairly loud itself. In conversations it lurks (noticable if you try to hear it), and during lulls it sticks out terribly.
I measured the noise level at 56dB with the meter right at the TV. Is this normal? Can anyone tell me if they are having a similar problem? Is this, in fact, a defective set or is my hearing just too sensitive?
I have been playing phone tag with JVC on this for a week now. If I can't get any help from them soon (or if they tell me it's not a malfunction) I'll definitely be returning the set.
Oh yeah -- I hooked up an HR10-250 (HD DirecTivo unit) with the HDMI connector & it didn't work -- picture was cloudy and dark green. Works great over component, though, so I can still use it. HDMI connection from my DVD player works fine.
