jAYME,
I do not work for JVC and have done nothing toward you. So, why the personal attack!? I can only guess based on your rather limited grasp of the English language and your use of all caps that you're a person whose IQ is measured with a room thermometer. In other words, stuff it you basement-dwelling loser. |

Wow Mr.Personality himself, and you do what with your life? Lets see sit on the computer all day and look at JVC messages boards, wow very impressive. You are not talking to a basement dwelling loser. I make more money in 2hrs than you do in a month. Take notes little man and I mean that literaly..men who talk big like you are usually trying to make up for what they lack in the bedroom, and from the looks of it you have ALOT to make up for. So make sure you make yourself look a little more stupid and write back about something else that I have no time to care about, see ya cyber boy |

Which means that jAYME (username Jvcsucks) probably makes nothing. Usually people who do well dont brag about it, and dont talk about what they make in 2 hours. Your TV broke. Thats life. Get it fixed. Order a lamp. If your so rich, throw that one out, and buy something else that you can be unhappy with. But, please, keep the name calling and insults out of here. This is the JVC thread, not a dread thread.

Angel Laura,
You're the dude posting under a chicks name, right?
Don't know about the reset... but if you're having the light engine replaced your going to lose your isf calibration.
I'd see if the person who you paid to do the ISF can give you a deal (discount) on doing it again. The second best thing would be to write down all the current values as a baseline. but since a new engine is going in that may not be of much help.
On the HDMI board... You're still having problems with that? Contact JVC.
Does anyone know if a service menu reset for green hdmi will loose isf calibration.
Also if green screen on all inputs Ohh S____ the light engine. Also light engine replacement will I loose isf calibration.
Is there any way to back up ISF calibration.
Im screwed!!!
f you do do you loose communication with the tv and get green hdmi screen .
I have had to reset three times. |

jAYME,
You need to post DETAILED INFO in this thread.http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/2/176314.html
You need to post as much detailed info as possible.
That is going to be the only way to get JVC to honor the rated run time, address this issue.... Unless you want this issue swept under the rug so to speak and want to bear the cost of future repairs everyone who's had a problem should post their info.
While JVC is "taking care" of customer while the set is under warranty, unless people do start posting detailed info you can rest assured that the day the warranty ends, YOU will be bearing the costs of repairs. (Which I would normally be "ok" with, but it seems owners of the D-ILA sets are reporting more problems than normal.)
POST DETAILED INFO ON YOUR SET(s)...
(Note not all sections may apply to you:-)
Please note that if you post as "Anonymous", or as a "Unregistered guest", without a way for you to be contacted your info is UNVERIFIABLE and is pretty much meaningless. Ditto on making a post without a serial number range, and/or the info asked for below.
(Most of the questions are REAL easy... the model number, etc are on a label on the back of the set.)
POST
1: The mfg /model
2: Serial number range
3: Date of mfg
4: Date of purchase
5: Note symptoms in DETAIL
6: Note hours run each day.
7: Note the amount time you keep the set powered UP once it is turned ON. (In other words you're not turning OFF and back on every time a commercial comes on.)
8: Note estimated TOTAL amount of run time.
9: Note if set in plugged into a UPS -to not only FILTER incoming power, but to PROTECT set from BROWN-OUT conditions (low voltage)
10: If you have to replace the lamp, or have replaced multiple lamps please note any differences between the old, and new lamp. D-ila lamps should be a Toshiba mfg'd TS-CL110U or TS-CL110Uaa. Please also note if you had a service call if they replaced the BALLAST that controls the lamp, or the cooling fans.
11: Note part numbers of replaced parts if known.
12: Please make a brief statement, stating how long you expect a tv to last. How many years it should last before needing repair.
13: Lastly, if you're posting as "Anonymous", or as a "Unregistered guest".. take about 2 minutes to CREATE an account with a "good" e-mail address that you can be reached at if these issues are not addressed by JVC and some kind of lawsuit is needed to make them honor the rated run time.
Posting details like the above not only will "help" JVC address the problem(s)... but it will make it ALLOT harder for them to "wiggle" out of ANY claims, and/or LAWSUITS, or RECALLS that may come about if these issues are NOT fixed. It will also "help" in cases in which someone is officially beyond the 1 year warranty, and repairs are needed.. All this info helps to prove that there is some kind of design flaw that would warrant a recall OR replacement of the set with a updated model.
Detailed info will go a long ways towards getting JVC, the vendors of the parts to HONOR the RATED run time of the components /parts.
One last thing, for those with Extended Warranties, don't think that you are "safe" from any future repairs, The fine print in most contracts is worded in favor of the EW company, and if the EW people are losing big $$$$ on repairing particular model you may find it hard to get them to honor future repairs

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this about the front panel lock, but on my 52Z585, if it is turned on, it APPEARS as though the front power button and side buttons are turned off, but if you hold them down for over five seconds, they do work. I assume it's a deterrent for kids or guests you don't want turning the set on (or changing to video4) if the remote is not around. But, the functionality remains for those buttons working, say for instance, if you either lost your remote or it stopped working. If they were disabled altogether, you'd be up a creek for turning the set on without the remote. When JVC came out and replaced my bulb a while back, after they left, I reset the lamp timer, and somehow must have turned the front panel lock on. I associated the service team coming out and touching my set with my front panel power button not working anymore. I then discovered that if I held the button down for more than 5 seconds, the tv would turn on or off. I again associated this with something the service guys must have done. Even someone in this forum mentioned that their HDILA set had done the same thing since it was new. But after seeing posts regarding the front panel lock, and that turning it on disabled these buttons, I thought, "Hey, I wonder if my front panel lock is turned on and that's why the front power button is not working unless I hold it down for 5+ seconds?" Sure enough it was. All is back to normal until my daughter turns 2... |

I keep hearing all this talk about people having to replace the lamps in their HDILA sets every 5-6 months. Is JVC covering this for you if your set is within the warranty period? The FAQ on the JVC website for the HDILA lamp life expectancy is approximately 6,000 hours. Check it out by going to JVC.com>Consumer Products>Support>FAQs>HDILA Projection TV. Click on the "What is the life expectancy of the lamp?" link. I printed this out just to have it on paper, and showed it to the service guy. He said, "Good move. JVC will have to honor that." Don't settle. Even if your set is out of warranty, I would expect a replacement part to have a warranty on it, and if not, quote the JVC website. They posted it in writing, which is legally binding. They can however, at their discression, remove it if they want. |

model# HD-61Z786
serial# 13083254
DOP 10/13/2005
JVC HD-ILA
My tv just went out with no warning black screen, both lights flashing. I called JVC they said they were getting a shipment of lamps and mine would be sent out on 3/14/06, was it? NO.
Now they are telling me they are backordered for 3 weeks. Not only that but I could hardly understand what the guy was saying and he aparently didnt understand me because they had the wrong address and he didnt even finishing processing my order. I am sick of these people, they have posted on their site that the bulb is available in 1 week but I'm waiting 3 give me a break these people cant keep track of anything but their wallets.

Are they replacing with a newer version or firmware hdmi board or other.
I bought this tv for my inlaws and they are driving me crazy with resets, lamps and service. |

Addition to my comments regarding the front panely lock: On my 52Z585, if the front panel lock is turned ON, and you hold down the menu button on the side of the tv, it brings up the menu, AND turns the front panel lock off. It does not behave this way with the front power button. |

I have an issue with my 56" JVC HD-ILA (I do not have the model number readily available right now). I have it connected to my Dish 211 HD receiver with HDMI cable. When I change the channel it will go through a few seconds of craziness, the picture will get big then back to the right size and then the input label comes onto the screen in the right hand corner. As far as I know this label should only come up when switching to another input, which I am not. Any ideas? Could it be the cable? or the HDMI port? |

That's what happens when the set switches between its HD and SD tuners. This is normal whenever switching between a HD and SD channel. If the TV is doing this between HD channels the likely cause is the cable box re-tunes each channel. Meaning it resets to analog, then switches into HD again. On my Motorola box I can adjust "Auto-tune" to off which speeds up the transition between channels. |

Anthony-
My cable box is the same way. It is the TV converting a 480i signal to the native 720p signal.
Check your Dish settings and see if there is an option to adjust the 4:3 signal. On my Motorola box if I turn the 4:3 override "OFF", it will send all channels to my TV with a 720p signal. The box basically upconverts the signal so your TV doesn't have to. That way your channels will change faster and you won't have the scrabble issue.
As for the bulb issue people have been talking about, I just wanted to add my experience. I use my TV about 35-40 hours a week and my lamp has been going strong for the past 14-15 months. The HD61z575 at my work in the conference room is on 8 hours a day 5 days a week and it is still on it's original lamp nearly 2 years later. |

Mr. Lynch,
That is good to hear that not all lamps are failing before the the JVC claim of 6000 hours.
Mine lasted 11 months and i use mine about as much as you do.
I have another issue, perhaps it has already been discussed al length here or elsewhere. If so please point me there.
I have a purple glow around the middle of my screen when the scene i am watching is black(or dark).
Strange thing is sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not.
The picture is otherwise still stunning.
I was also wondering if you have not grown weary of sending out the service manual i would also like to have it. lee_huffman@sbcglobal.net
Unfortunately, My JVC warranty expires in 3 days.
If there is a user fix that would be great, otherwise i will probably have to deal with my EW provider.
Thank you!
lee

I currently have my Dish 211 receiver set for 1080i and 16x9. I have tried the other settings: 480i, 480p,720p as well as 4x3 in all the combinations and still get the same problem. I even bought a more expensive hdmi cable, no change, so I took it back. I do notice that maybe 3 out of every 20 channel changes it will not do the flickering. I just do not want it to mess up the tv. |

Lee,
Take a digital picture of that purple glow and get it documented by JVC. That could be a light engine issue. I had a purple circle (almost imperceivable) on my TV and it warranted a light engine change (I also had alignment issues with the same light engine so it was two issues). Anyway, I would get it reported while you're under warranty. |

I have a question concerning the use of component vs. HDMI in regards to the HD52Z585. I currently have my Comcast Motorola HD Tuner cable box hooked up via component connections to the television. Should I be taking advantage of the HDMI connection that my television offers? Is there a big difference? What are the pros/cons? Am I better off staying with component? What type of HDMI connector would I need if I do want to go this route? Any help any of you can provide would be greatly appreciate. On another note, I too have the red hues in the upper left corner of my set, and green hues in the lower right corner when I have the set on and no source coming in. I always thought it was just natural. But I guess I may have a light engine issue as well. I'll take a picture of it and upload it for all to see. |

Lee -- I had the same problem with the blue or purple circle. JVC replaced the light engine under warranty with no problems. The problem got better but did not disappear completely. Give them a call while you're still under warranty and follow up with some digital screen pictures if you can. |

Hello everyone, I just joined, to post an important message! Don't buy a JVC HD-52Z575 projection tv! The looks,and picture are great,but the lamp's burn out in just a few month's. I had 3 lamp failures, and a recall, all in a year & a half. If you feel that you must buy one (they are very pleasing to the eye) make sure that you purchase the extra warranty, (Mine was $400), a new lamp cost's $230 & up. JVC's customer service is a nightmare. My Down time has been running about 20 to 25 days. There are many people complaining about lamp failures in tv product reviews. I have heard of people forming a class action suit against jvc. I can get a new tv with my extended warranty,if my tv breaks one more time! They have a lemon law, 4 repairs & I can trade for a different tv of same value! I hope this post help's someone in the future! |

David Zerby - have you ever considered that JVC does not make these lamps, and that they probably have their hands tied as far as the number of manufacturers that do make them for this type of application? A JVC service rep that came to my house to replace my lamp and told me that there is only a couple of companies that manufacture these lamps and EVERYONE is having problems with them. I have had no problem with JVC customer service. I called them, they referred me to a service center in my area, someone called me from the service center and two days later they were at my house putting in my new lamp. Oh the horror. I suggest selling your tv if your not happy with it. There are alot of other brands out there that you can buy that have problems too.

Does anyone have any JP1 remote files for these TVs? Even a Pronto CCF would be ok. I'm working on getting one going from a generic JVC TV file that was posted. Have things like PWR and TV/VID but what I would really like is some way of discretely selecting inputs. |

I have a 52Z575 Aug 05 build, was happy with the picture of the set (not too crazy about the fan noise though) but apparantly the light engine has gone bad. I have to watch TV now with no red while the service rep waits for JVC ot aprove and ship new parts. |

You may want to look at your facts. Take a look back at my posts. There all there. All I've ever suggested until my 18th post is that we keep to the topic instead of trashing back and forth.

Called JVC service on 3/14. Took several more calls to reach correct person. They responded quickly that a new lamp would be mailed out as soon as their back order was filled. Got the replacement lamp kit on 3/24, by 2day FEDEX. Very simple to install the picture is very bright, so bright that I had to make adjustment. I think that a cause of repeated blown lamps is that when you install it you might have inadvertently touched the glassplate with your fingers. It's just like the halogen carlamps. Because the lamp puts out so much heat the oils left behind by your fingers causes the lamp to fail. |

I know that this post originally started with ppl posting ways to improve adjustments. So I thought I share my observations here. I also have a few questions afterwards.
I have the 61Z786 - and still on first bulb
purchased in August of 2005
Manufacture date March of 2005
Hours on bulb -> 921
I went into the service menu and found that the convergence was spot on. However the overscan was off. It was up and to the right. Now fixed 
My original settings for the light drives are as follows -
R drive 116
G drive 128
B drive 109
Now I have both DVE and AVIA and have used both to set my TV's in the past. I have adjusted the JVC using DVE first, then the AVIA to make some fine point adjustments. Not sure which one is more correct, but the DVEvsAVIA on tint and color seem to be right on. However, the pluge and contrast differ slightly.
There are two areas in the AVIA disc that I like better on the tint and color. They have a percent bar that shows all three colors -RGB- and when you have everything set by the blue film, you can then slightly adjust if your red or green are too high(however this may sacrifice a little on blue - with my blue right on 0 my TV was about 10-15% high on green and 5-10% high in red). However, by getting into the service settings I had hoped to correct it even more. The other area is the moving pluge signal that AVIA talks about and state that is better than the older style (DVE) setting with the blacker than black. Suggesting that most DVD players can't properly produce blacker than black settings. I have an Arcam D78, that puts out a 625/525 progressive (odd that it's 625/525, but I'm not sure how to tell what is actually being used on the JVC - upscaling to 720?? Not sure how to tell) which automatically uses the 0-IRE setting. In interlaced mode you have the choice to change from the 7.5-IRE or use the 0-IRE setting.
Now here is my set up without touching the service settings -
Tint +4
Color +5
Picture +17
Bright +5
Detail -13
From what I saw others settings at, I thought maybe my Picture was a little high - however, by using gray scale and the AVIA moving bars (in the white contrast signal) it all appeared within spec.
I read on another member that his set was calibrated from an ISF tech and when he was finished the settings were as follows -
R drive 126
G drive 112
B drive 128
Well, I go into my service settings and changed mine to match this users settings. Now I know that every TV is different, however since I wrote down my settings it couldn't hurt to try.
I then redid all the tests preformed earlier -
Tint +4
Color +4
Picture +7
Bright +5
Detail -13
The biggest difference I saw now was when using the AVIA disc to look at the three different color bars, when blue was at 0, red and green were right at 0 to maybe 5%. That gave me a good feeling and it looked good too! The coolest thing was I was able to get close to what an ISF could do. This however isn't going to stop me from getting an ISF tech out to get it closer to perfect. I just wanted to be able to see if I could do better than what JVC had originally set up.
One of the questions I had was how do the four color settings (Standard, Game, Theater, and Dynamic) work in conjuntion with inputs? I have a PVR and have the settings set through component and my DVD player is through the other component. The difference is that the PVR keeps its color settings but the DVD player has the same color setting as the regular cable. I'm not sure I understand the why it does this and not keep color settings different for each input.
This forum has been great and thought I could do whatever possible to contribute back to my fellow members.
Thanks guys!

SD and HD are separate video settings. The regular cable channels share the video settings with DVD. The HD channels will have their own settings until you have more sources that output either 720p/1080i, such as Xbox 360, PS3, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, or if you have a DVD player that upconverts to 720p/1080i, then it will use the seperate video settings.
I found the HD settings were quite different from the SD, for HD I have the picture at -15 and the color around +20. For SD picture is -8, color +8. |

Is there a section on this site for everyone (who wants to) to post the makeup of their system, which would include a picture as well? I'd be interested to see what components everyone here is running and what their setup looks like. It sure would be better than trash talking. |

I am about to buy a new JVC. (HD-56G786)
I have two questions.
1. What is the difference between a 4th gen and a 3rd gen DIST?
2. How often do the light engines go out in these things? I read a lot about that and it really scares me. Did the light engine improve in the new 4th gen models?
(Okay that was 3 questions...) |

Hi there I purchased an Hd61z575 august last year, 2 weeks ago i started having problems with it , I'm getting green and purple lines across the screen and the picture goes on and off, i called the techs they came and looked at it they told me it was a bad light engine, it needed and upgrade, is this true? and upgrade will work? i just got it back and its still doing the same thing and also out of my HDMI side i get a green screen, any help or suggestions? |

If it's doing the same thing, then they didn't fix the light engine or you got another bad one (unlikely). The HDMI needs a reset. That is a normal procedure that must be completed if the back of the TV is taken off. The fact that your tech didn't reset it indicates a lack of experience.
You can reset the HDMI yourself. Look up in this thread for the reset procedure. However, if I were you, the tech would be at my house TODAY to do the job right! |
