							Main Features
New, impressive image quality with the 4K resolution
By employing JVC’s unique image-processing technology (MPC), focus and
blurring can be detected and adjusted in real time, allowing viewers to enjoy
the enhanced expressiveness of 4K images. (p. 39) 3D video expressions with a highly realistic feel
With the 3D feature, you can enjoy 3D movies with a more realistic effect.
(p. 32)
With the 2D-3D conversion feature, you can now enjoy 3D movies by
converting  2D videos of 
TV 
programs or those that are recorded using a home
video camera into 3D ones. (p. 34) Optimal image quality adjustment according to the viewing environment
Halation that occurs in environments such as a living room with white walls is taken into consideration for optimal viewing. (p. 30)
0 You can  utilize the 
optional 

optical sensor and dedicated software to make
finer adjustments.
For more details, please refer to our website.
http://www3.jvckenwood.com/projector/support/index.html Flexible installation
In addition to the 2x motorized zoom & focus lens, the wide coverage of the lens shift functions also makes installation of the projector more flexible. (p. 27)
The lens memory  feature, 

which enables focus, zoom, or shift settings to be saved or retrieved, enables you to switch
to different video size formats easily. Customizable image quality adjustment feature
You can make adjustments according to the type of video
images or your preferences to enjoy the videos in optimal
quality. (p. 35) The Real Color Imaging Technology (a color reproduction
technology developed by  JVC) 

enables reproduction in an
image quality that is closer to the original image. (p. 36) 12

							Clear video expression with little after-image (C.M.D.)
Optimal interpolation according to the content is made
possible with the new high-definition image interpolation
technique that supports 3D images.
Viewers can enjoy clear video expression with little after-
image. (p. 44) * C.M.D. is the abbreviation for Clear Motion Drive. High-precision pixel adjustment feature
With the highly-precise “Pixel Adjust” feature, you can
enjoy a clear video quality with little color fringing
throughout the entire image.
(p. 53) * Equipped  with two memories, 
you 
can save the settings
separately when an anamorphic lens is used and when you are using the projector with a screen. THX certification S R
For S R, a “THX 3D Display Certification” by THX has been obtained.
In addition to 2D movies, you can also enjoy faithful reproduction of images in a “quality as
intended by the filmmaker” during playback of 3D movies.
The  THX 
3D certification 
is 

“an indication of high definition and high resolution”, which is granted to products that have
cleared more than 400 image quality tests. isf certification S R
S R are isf-certified, so calibration can be performed by an isf-certified trainer.
After calibration is performed, an isf mode is added to the Picture mode.
For more details, please refer to the isf website.
http://www.imagingscience.com/Intelligent Lens Aperture
JVC has developed an image analysis algorithm, which
analyzes the state of the video image in real time, and
controls the aperture dynamically according to the image
information.
This technology enables viewers to enjoy video images
with enhanced contrast. 13

							Loading Batteries into the Remote Control
. 0
If the remote control  has 
to be brought closer to the projector to operate, it means that the batteries are wearing out.
Replace the batteries with new ones (AAA).
0 Insert the batteries according to the t s marks. Be sure to insert the s end first.
0 If an error occurs while using the remote control, remove the batteries and wait for five minutes. Load the batteries
again and operate the remote control. Effective Range of Remote Control Unit
When aiming the remote control toward the sensor on this unit  (front 
or rear), 
ensure 

that the distance to the sensor
is within 7 m.
If the remote control fails to work properly, move closer
to this unit.
. Control through reflection off a screen, etc.
Ensure that the total of distance A (between this unit and the screen) and distance B (between the remote control
and the screen) is within 7 m.
* As the efficiency of signals reflected from the remote
control unit varies with the type of screen used, the
operable distance may decrease.
. CAUTION
0 Do not put the remote control in a place with an exposure to direct sun light or high temperature.
It may deformed due to heat, or the internal components may be adversely affected resulting in fire hazard.
0 Remove the batteries from the remote control when storing the remote control.
Storing the remote control for a prolonged period without removing the batteries can cause battery leakage. 18

							Installing the Projector
Precautions during Installation
Please read the following carefully before installing this
unit. Do not install at the following
This unit is a precision device. Please refrain from
installing or using it  at 
the following locations. Otherwise,
it may cause fire or malfunction.
0 Dusty, wet and humid places
0 Places subject to oily smoke or cigarette smoke
0 On top of a carpet or bedding, or other soft surfaces
0 Places exposed to direct sunlight
0 Places with a high or low temperature
0 Do not install this unit in a room that is oily or subject
to  cigarette smoke. Even 
a 

small quantity of smoke or
oiliness can have a long-term impact on this unit.
* This unit produces a great amount of heat, and is designed to take in cool air to cool its optical
components. Using the unit at the above locations
may cause dirt to attach to the light path, thereby
resulting in dark images or dull colors.
* Dirt that sticks to the optical components cannot be removed. Maintain clearance from the wall, etc.
As the unit discharges a large amount of heat, install it
with adequate clearance from the 
 surroundings as shown
below.
.Leave the front area of the unit unblocked.
If there is any obstructing object in front of the exhaust
vent, hot air will 
flow 

back to the unit and cause it to heat
up. Hot air flowing out of the unit may cast shadows on
the screen (heat haze phenomenon). Using the projector
This unit uses a  projection 

lamp, which will heat up when
in use.
Please refrain from projecting in the following
circumstances. Otherwise, it may cause fire or
malfunction.
0 Projection with the unit stood vertically
. 0
Projection with the unit inclined at an angle Horizontal inclination: within  ±   5  °
. Vertical inclination: within  ±   15  °
. 0
Malfunction may occur if the 
 angle is not set within the
abovementioned range. Installing the screen
Install the unit and the screen such that they are
perpendicular to each other.
. 0
Please choose a screen material with non-uniform
patterns.  Uniform 
patterns  such 
as 

checks may cause
interference patterns to occur.
0 In this case, you  can 

change the size of the screen to
make the interference patterns less noticeable. Using the projector at a high altitude
When using this unit at a location that is higher than 900
m above sea level (low air pressure), set the “High
Altitude Mode” to “On”. (p. 54) 19

							Precautions during Mounting
Securing (mounting) the projector
. 0
When this unit is  to 
be mounted to a fixed position for
use, install it horizontally.
0 Make sure to secure the main unit to prevent
accidents such as during an earthquake.
Securing with screws
.Remove the four feet at the bottom, and fasten using the
screws (M5 screws, 13 to 23 mm).
* Using screws other than  those 

designated may cause
the unit to break down.
* Leave a clearance of at least 10 mm from the bottom surface of the unit to allow it to take in cool air. Securing the projector (ceiling mount)
. 0
Be sure to ask your dealer to install the unit for you.
Installing the unit on your own may cause the unit to
fall resulting in injury.
0 Take the necessary actions to prevent the main unit
from falling off such as during an earthquake.
0 Regardless of the warranty period, JVC is not liable
for any product damage  caused 

by mounting the unit
with non-JVC ceiling fittings or to an environment that is not suited for ceiling mount.
0 When using the unit with it suspended from a ceiling,
pay attention to the surrounding temperature. When
a heater is in use, the temperature around the ceiling
may be higher than expected.
0 To  attach the unit 
to 

the ceiling mount bracket, set the
torque between the range of 1.5N m to 2.0N m.
Tightening with torque exceeding the above range
may cause damage to the unit, which may result the
unit to fall. 20
