1.5 Preventing static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, can destroy the laser
diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
1.5.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser diode) in devices such as laser products.
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
(1) Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it before placing the
traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
(2) Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.

1.6 INSTALLATIONS
1.6.1 Installation method
The D-ILA system (reflecting type active matrix liquid crystal system) does not require convergence adjustment. Note the following
when placed on a floor (refer to OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for actual operating method).
(1) Place the projector at the position needed for the required image size observe the projector is not tilted horizontally.
[The image size is 60 to 200(wide side) inches diagonal (16:9), requiring a projection distance of 1.78m to 6.06m]
(2) Adjust the placement site and screen tilt so that the projection angle is perpendicular to the screen.
(3) Adjust the placement site and screen position (height) so that the projection lens center is at the lower edge of the screen.
(4) Project an image on the screen. (Connect video equipment and power source, switch power on and select the input.)
(5) Fine adjust the projected image position and angle. If adjusting the placement site and screen cannot correct the projected po-
sition (too low) or angle (lower part of image widened), adjust the front foot.
(6) Turn the lens ZOOM ring by hand and adjust for suitable image size.
(7) Turn the lens FOCUS ring by hand and adjust to correct image blur.
1.6.2 Installation site and status
• The projector contains a fan for cooling. Obstruction of the ventilation openings can lead to internal overheating, abnormal operation
and failure. Also observe there is plenty of free space between the projector and adjacent walls, ceiling and other equipment.
Note that excess heat can cause failure and damage to both the projector and nearby equipment.
Required spacing :
Front = 15cm / left and right sides = 30cm / rear = 20cm (When the unit is enclosed with block according to the required spacing
on the left side, provide the unit with adequate ventilation so that the temperature inside of the enclosed area is kept at the same
temperature in the open space in the room.)
• Avoid locations that are wobbly or inclined. If the setting site floor has protrusions or horizontal cannot be maintained, there is risk
the projector may drop, fall over, etc. If located in a site where left to right tilt is greater than ±5° and front to rear tilt greater than
±10°, particularly the optical system components can be severely affected and there is risk basic performance and quality of the
projector cannot be maintained.
• Observe the site can stably bear the weight (approx. 11.0kg) of the projector over a long period of time.
• If mounted on a stand with casters, observe the casters are securely braked to prevent movement.
• Avoid suspending in a location subject to vibration. Both the projector and mounting fixture can be damaged.
• Do not place in the following types of locations.
Especially, Avoid locations subject to dust, grit, smoke or other airborne contaminants. Use adequate caution when providing exter-
nal ventilation, filters and dust protection.
‹Near water or in humid sites ‹Near heaters or heat generating equipment
‹Dust or grit ‹Direct sunlight
‹Oily or tobacco smokes ‹Very high or very low temperature

SPECIFIC SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 NEW TECHNOLOGY
2.1.1 JVC’s original picture modes
Recreating the quality of film in movie theaters with every nu-
ance reproduced was what JVC had in mind when we
equipped our D-ILA front projector models with original picture
modes. Colors displayed by projectors and those found in film
are processed differently as projectors display colors using an
additive color mixture method where RGB primary colors are
layered on top of each other. On the other hand, film in movie
theaters use a subtractive color mixture method that filters
CMY colors out of the light source. With the additive color mix-
ture method, colors become brighter as colors are added and
due to an increase in energy, eventually turn white.
However, the opposite can be said for the subtractive color
mixture method where colors become darker and eventually
turn black. JVC engineers thoroughly analyzed the two meth-
ods and succeeded in developing an optimized picture display
by performing advanced processing using a built-in LSI. So
this means that now what was once difficult to reproduce in the
home environment such as the delicate textures and nuances
of film can now be seen just like at a movie theater.
2.1.2 Screen Adjustment Mode
As the quality of projected images may vary slightly depending
on the type of screen and its RGB reflective characteristics,
JVC’s new D-ILA projectors have screen adjustment modes
that allow users to select the optimum mode to match screen
characteristics for more natural and balanced color reproduc-
tion.
2.1.3 High Performance 2x motorized zoom lens
The high-performance 2x zoom lens with motorized focus fea-
tures a large-diameter lens system to ensure the projection of
full HD images with exceptional depth.
And to display the deepest black possible, this lens is also
equipped with a 16-step* lens aperture that enables adjust-
ment of brightness according to user preferences and operat-
ing environments.
2.1.4 Advanced video processor
Both projectors incorporate the HQV Reon-VX video proces-
sor developed by Silicon Optix, which features precision I/P
conversion and scaling with full 10-bit 4:4:4 signal processing.
2.1.5 Exceptionally high contrast ratio
The new 2009 D-ILA front projector models incorporate a num-
ber of advanced technologies such as JVC’s proprietary D-ILA
device, a wire-grid optical engine, and high-performance lens.
But what really differentiates JVC’s D-ILA projectors from other
projectors is that they do not employ a dynamic iris.
JVC’s D-ILA projectors instead use a fixed aperture to elimi-
nate unnecessary light that can lower contrast levels, making
possible some of the industry’s highest native contrast ratios.
Innovations such as these and many other superb features en-
able the DLA-HD950 to achieve an exceptionally high native
contrast ratio of 50,000:1*.
Enhanced brightness (extended white peak) and deeper, rich-
er blacks (wide dynamic range) ensure image reproduction
that is vivid and full of depth, making these projectors perfectly
suited for viewing diverse content, such as movies and music
videos as well as live concert performances and sports pro-
grams.
* 30,000:1 for the DLA-HD550.
1-6 (No.PA037<Rev.001>)
2.1.6 Clear Motion Drive
Clear Motion Drive technology successfully generates an ac-
curate intermediate frame even for images with fast-moving
action by employing a high-precision interpolation algorithm
that strengthens the precision of picture-character detection.
Whether the video signal source is 60 fps broadcasting or 24
fps movie content, viewers can enjoy smoother and clearer im-
ages with reduced motion blurring thanks to this unique inter-
polation technique that optimizes the number of frames.
2.1.7 Inverse telecine (reverse 2-3 pull down)
In order to display TV broadcasts or commercially available
DVDs created using the 2-3 pull-down process, the inverse te-
lecine (reverse 2-3 pull-down) function found on JVC’s D-ILA
projectors re-converts the video source back to a 24 fps signal
and displays it at double speed or 48 fps, ensuring cinema-like
viewing that is very faithful to the original source.
2.1.8 Certified by ISF (Imaging Science Foundation)
The DLA-HD950/HD990 projector has been licensed with the
ISF C3 (Certified Calibration Controls) mode, enabling trained
dealers to professionally calibrate it to your choices of screen
surface, lighting environments and video sources and then se-
curely store precision settings into the projector. This helps to
ensure reproduction of film or video content accurate to the
source and excellent picture quality optimized for specific en-
vironments.
2.1.9 Certified by THX
The DLA-HD950/HD990 projector features THX mode. This
means the projector has passed the THX Certified Display Pro-
gram, which is a series of tests conducted on display devices
to verify the high definition display performance that home the-
ater enthusiasts demand today, ensuring that the projector will
always deliver superb picture quality faithful to the source.
2.1.10 Newly designed remote control
The remote control unit for the new D-ILA projectors has an at-
tractive silver-gray color that adds appeal to its performance. It
also features well-positioned buttons for the picture modes
(see page 3) and direct input selector (HDMI 1, 2, Component,
Video, S-video and PC), which help to enhance user-friendly
operation.
2.1.11 Quiet operation
Thanks to the enhanced efficiency of the cooling system, fan
noise has been reduced to 19dB*, enabling the viewer to better
concentrate on what’s being shown on the screen even in a
very quiet room.
* When lamp mode set to standard mode.

• Use a cross-head screwdriver to take out and reinstall the lamp
cover (2 screws) and lamp unit (2 screws). Refer to the IN-
STRUCTIONS.
• Observe the following cautions.
- Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the AC power
source.
- The lamp remains quite hot after power off. Be sure to allow
plenty of time (30 minutes to 1 hour) to cool before pro-
ceeding.
- The lamp can break if dropped or subjected to physical
shock.
- Use care not to directly touch or soil the lamp projecting
(glass) face.
• When installing the lamp unit, observe the interior projections
of the lamp cover are securely inserted into the holes of the
projector. Since the lamp cover projections engage the inter-
lock switch part of the protector circuit (normal operating state),
be sure the cover is properly positioned and secure with
screws.
• Do not place the removed lamp unit at locations that is reach-
able by children or near combustible items.
Dispose used lamp units in the same way as fluorescent
lamps. Follow your local community rules for disposal.
2.4.4 Lamp use time reset
• Be sure to reset the Lamp use time after replacing the lamp
unit. Unless reset, the projector will cease operation (lamp will
not light).
* Conversely, reset the use time only after replacing the lamp.
• RESETTING
(1) Set for stand-by mode.
(2) In sequence, press the [BACK], [OK] and [HIDE] buttons
of the remote control unit.
(3) Press the [ ] button for more than 2 seconds.
* The STAND-BY and LAMP LEDs alternately flash for
about 3 seconds, then only the STAND-BY LED lights
steadily.
• RESET AFTER REPLACING PROCESSOR PWB ASS'Y
The lamp use time data are stored in memory on the PRO-
CESSOR PWB ASS'Y and need to be reentered after replac-
ing the PROCESSOR PWB ASS'Y. Use the special software
and a personal computer to reenter the data. Afterwards, con-
firm the mode has been returned to that prior to PWB replace-
ment.
2.5 PROJECTION SPECIFICATIONS AND NOTES
2.5.1 Projection distance
• The usable projection distance (focus obtainable) is tele side :
approx. 3.63m to 12.23m / wide side : approx. , 1.78m to
6.08m. The picture size (16:9) is 60 to 200 inches.
• Use the wide side for sizes bigger than 200 inches.
2.5.2 Projection image and image size
• The projection distances and image size relationship given in
the operation manual is approximate for general reference.
The actual values may vary due to lens tolerance and other
factors.
2.5.3 Other cautions
• Use care not to directly touch the lens. Clear soiling from the
lens with optical lens paper or a photographer's blower.
• Check the lens cap is removed before projecting. If left in-
stalled the projector can overheat and the lens cap can be de-
formed.
• Sunlight or other illumination can render the image difficult to
see. Use a curtain or other means to shield the screen from
stray light.
