Owen Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If it does that with no video cables connected its definitely faulty. I fix will cost you so I would just live with it. Turn the projector off via the remote or power button on the back and after the cooling cycle finishes disconnect the power with a remote switch of your choice. Its not a big inconvenience and turning back on will be quick and easy. You will save power as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to unplug the cable and wait until the light goes off and plug it back again. If I plug it back earlier it also can't turned back on. could be just surging under power down or something that is tripping it. that needs a hard boot. ie complete power down power up. the projector is some years old now and who knows could be power spiking or something to trip overload or something. if doing every time lily very easily demonstrable to tech so they can fix. probably an easy fix. some all component aged or needs new power supply. probably nothing will know unless someone qualified as tech takes a look at it. if in melb i believe jls are service agents or there are likely others. i'd either pop in for the fix or use work around your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured it out. It's the HDMI Control. It was turned On, .i.e. the receiver will control it. Turn it off solves the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 So the problem disappeared when the video cables where disconnected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably yes, I did not disconnect the cable to try that. Also, I noticed the image seems a bit soft, I already boosted the sharpener setting to 35 but it still soft. Focus is on point as well. I remember when I was having a BenQ with DLP tech, the image was very sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benq would have sharpness at half out of the box from memory, so turn the JVC up to 50 of 100 and see how you go. Also check if the convergence has been adjusted, is it 2nd hand?

It's second hand. I have not reset to factory default. Maybe I should do that. By convergence, you meant the panel alignment option? I checked and they all set to 3 (in the middle). Looks like default setting to me. Also it's a FullHD mode hence I don't think I have eShift option. Edited June 11, 2019 by Noctis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 When you say the image is "soft", are you talking about the appearance of pixels up close, of the overall appearance of movies from a normal distance? The X35 is not an E-Shift model so don't worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krumlov Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I have multiple aspect ratios saved in my X35 which is making great use of my scope screen. However, I have noticed that the memorised position drifts. That is, I will set it perfectly, save it, use it a bunch of times without issue then one day find it has shifted and I have a gap to the edge of my screen. This gap can be any side. Is this common? Do I just have to live with this or is there a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashflag Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not sure if it is common but I had the same issue with my x35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krumlov Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thanks guys, When I am at 2.35:1 I am close to max zoom. I am wondering if this has anything to do with it. cashflag are you at max zoom and jeffpr are you well short of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashflag Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I was definitely at max zoom with my last set up, but not with the one prior to that. I enquired here about the issue at the time but received no responses. I learnt to live with it. I'm happy to say that it is not an issue that dogs my x7900.

Shouldn't be common, the epson and jvc's do that best. the sony doesn't have the processing power to get back to saved position.. so a bit odd you're experiencing this?

Might have to put up with it then. Something might be slipping when it hits max zoom sometimes.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
