Bring the best part 
of Hollywood home.
Get ready for the high-resolution 
imaging demands of the future 
with the
DLA-SX21. 
						

							H/V digital keystone correction
Keystone correction can
be performed horizontally
(
10 degrees) and verti-
cally (
30 degrees).
So, projection is possible
offset at an angle, making
installation flexible.
JVC color profile 
JVC’s color profile technology has been developed to ensure that
colors are reproduced with greater fidelity to the original. Important
color reproduction elements such as “color temperature”, “gamma”
and “RGB gamut” are optimized for each of four modes (sRGB,
MacRGB, AdobeRGB, EBU). Simply choose the mode that match-
es your source for best results.
DVI-D Plug and Play
Enables digital-to-digital input and ensures high-quality image
reproduction without degradation.
Comparison of resolution of each device
Capture User Logo function
Instead of a blue screen, you can project a cus-
tomized image (such as a company logo) whenev-
er no other signal is input. Use this function to add
a custom display for the interval between presenta-
tions.
4 color profile modes are available.1sRGB mode: Corresponds to the color reproduction and color space defined by the internation-
al sRGB standard. This mode provides reliable, faithful color reproduction of
images from Windows-based computers and HDTV pictures.
2Mac mode: Gamma and gamut preset to match Mac computer standard color reproduction.
3Adobe mode: Gamma and gamut settings optimized for Adobe applications such as
Photoshop and Illustrator.
4EBU mode: Suitable for broadcast video monitors.
The DLA-SX21 incorporates three high performance SXGA+ (1400
x 1050) 0.7 D-ILA devices (1.5M pixels x 3) with a total of 4.5M
individual RGB pixels. These pixels are converged on screen to
produce a stunning, high resolution picture with 1.5M high-density
converged pixels. The high-density, reflective liquid crystal structure
used in JVC’s original D-ILA (Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier)
technology achieves the optimal combination of brightness, resolu-
tion, contrast and color for the big screen. Thanks to the fine pitch
D-ILA device, images are smooth as silk, boasting incredible detail
and lush, vibrant, super-realistic color. Because small text, 3D com-
puter graphics, animation and moving pictures are all displayed
clearly right into the corners, this system is ideal for multiscreen
applications. Youll be able to effectively combine each image with
other images for a more powerful, high-impact presentation.
DPC:This section is newly designed to make
horizontal keystone possible, enabling the full
potential of SXGA plus machines to be
achieved.
CMS:The RGB processor section (CMS)
incorporates a well-accepted circuit DD: The drive IC (Device Driver) used in the
DLA-SX21’s D-ILA device is the same
advanced circuit used in our DLA-QX1 QXGA
ultra-high resolution projector, assuring opti-
mum device operation according to the input
signals. This operation processing enables the
D-ILA device to express film-like gradations.

JVC has developed a powerful new optical engine that incorporates
PBS (Polarized Beam Splitter) circuits. The PBS circuits separate
light source into Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) components and
then use these RGB components to compose the image repro-
duced on-screen. Incorporated in the DLA-SX21, this original JVC
technology minimizes dissipation in the light path and suppresses
stray light in the prism, making it possible for this small 0.7 device
to deliver an impressive 1500 ANSI lumens with an enhanced con-
trast ratio.
New technologies
New JVC optical engine
Developed specially for the DLA-SX21, this all-new circuitry (shown
below) improves the sharpness, S/N, and color reproduction of
both graphics and video. Gray scales and shading correction levels
are also enhanced.

Home Theater is better than ever.
When it comes to video resolution, more pixels means a clearer image. JVCs DLA SX-21 projects an incredible 4.5 million pixels that converge
onto your screen to produce the most stunning, most accurate and highest resolution images possible. Its all due to JVCs exclusive D-ILA chip
technology, found in projectors that Hollywood executives use for screening and critical color analysis.
The SX-21s three D-ILA chips pump out rich color and high contrast without the screen door and rainbow effects that plague other projectors.
The DLA-SX21 delivers clarity and high resolution that was previously available only for the highest end, professional theaters. This clarity 
and high resolution can now be the foundation for your state-of-the-art home theater. 
The SX21 is a lot more than youd expect from a home theatre projector, but everything youd expect from JVC.
New GUI on-screen display
The on-screen menu allows you to quickly make adjustments to various set-
tings. The first and second menus are shown simultaneously for simple, sys-
tematic setting operation.
Wireless remote control unit
A wireless remote control unit with cursor keys is provided for
remote operation of the projector. The GUI on-screen menu can
also be operated with this remote control unit.
IP:The IP conversion system corresponds with all interlaced signals (including
NTSC/PAL/SECAM/1080i (50 Hz/60 Hz), 24sF, 25sF, 30sF by selecting the optimum pull-
down system (2-3 or 2-2 pull-down).
DPC:The pixel density conversion system achieves favorable frequency characteristics. 
DSD: JVC’s original contour correction technology (DSD - Digital Super Detail) is able to
accurately control horizontal and vertical lines while suppressing the influence of oblique
lines. Also incorporated is a color difference signal enhancer without overshoot that mini-
mizes smear in color details. Two additional enhancers (with overshoot and without over-
shoot) are provided to enhance expression of details.
Easy-to-change lamp and low running cost
The lamp can be easily replaced from the side
and the filter from the front underside of the pro-
jector. An NSH lamp (high-pressure mercury
lamp) is used, so running cost is kept low. The
lamp life is approx. 2000 hours.
Easy installation
Installation is a snap, so you can take this
projector anywhere for a presentation without
worrying about setting it up. The feet can be
adjusted to optimize the projection angle.
Compact, portable design
Weighing only 13 lbs. (5.9 kg), this projector is compact enough to carry any-
where.
High performance video/cinema projection
User-friendly design

The lamp replacement is easy. Just
remove the cover, unscrew the two
screws, and pull out the lamp. Place a
new lamp in the socket, screw it in,
and replace the cover.
Original JVC DIST 
(Digital Image Scaling Technology)
JVC’s original DIST technology consists of IP conversion, pixel
density conversion and enhancer technology. Together these tech-
nologies ensure full correspondence with most DTV format signals,
as well as with conventional NTSC/PAL/SECAM signals. Input sig-
nals are converted to SXGA plus resolution with reduced flicker and
smear.

HDTV format compatibility
To ensure compatibility with DTV signals,
the DLA-SX21 accepts analog signals in the
720p, 1080i, 1080p and HDTV formats.
High contrast of 800:1
With extra-high contrast ratio of 800:1, the DLA-SX21 projects images with
sharp details, crisp edges and great depth. Even in a bright room, images are
clear, sharp and natural looking.
Digital shift
With Digital Shift, you can adjust the display position of the 16:9 image up or down
on the 4:3 screen. This gives you a lot more installation flexibility when using the
16:9 screen; for example, when suspending the projector from the ceiling.
