Loading Batteries into the Remote Control
Loading the batteries
Removing the batteries
- If the remote control has to be brought closer to the unit to operate, it means that the batteries are wearing out. Replace the batteries with new ones (AAA).
- Insert the batteries according to the marks. Be sure to insert the s end first. When removing the battery, do so from the end.
- 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 7m.
If the remote control fails to work properly, move closer to this unit.
Control through reflection off a screen, etc. Ensure that the total 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
- Do not put the remote control in a place with exposure to direct sunlight or high temperature. It may be deformed due to heat, or the internal components may be adversely affected resulting in fire hazards.
- 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.

FAQS About JVC Night Vision D-ILA Projectors
How durable are JVC projectors?
You can watch for up to 20,000 hours while using the laser light source in high power mode.
What causes my JVC projector to repeatedly shut off?
Your projector will turn off on its own if the air filter is blocked and in desperate need of a good clean. This protects it from overheating. In this instance, your projector shutting off is a safety measure because if it gets too hot, the dust in the filter could catch fire.
How is a JVC projector cleaned?
The JVC projector’s instruction booklet advises carefully wiping away any dust with a moist cloth. On the dry lens cloth, dab a small amount of lens cleaning solution. To prevent streaking, don’t oversaturate the cloth.
E shift JVC projector: what is it?
JVC’s exclusive high-resolution display technology called “e-shift” shifts each pixel by 0.5 pixels both vertically and horizontally in order to provide 4 times as many pixels as the original image.
How long can a projector be used?
Lamps. The most popular projector light sources are halide bulbs, which typically have an average lifespan of 1,000–5,000 hours. A light with a 1,000-hour lifespan may provide uninterrupted viewing for 41 days (just over one month), whereas one with a 5,000-hour lifespan can be used continuously for almost seven months.
What is the JVC projector’s refresh rate?
With input speeds of up to 1080P/240Hz and latency as low as 6.25ms (1.5 frames), the new projector is compatible.
How long may a projector be left on?
The average lamp life of a projector is 1,500 to 2,000 hours, but more recent versions can operate for up to 5,000 hours before the bulb needs to be changed.
Do projectors automatically shut off?
On occasion, the projector may shut itself off to avoid further harm from overheating. Please make sure there are no objects near the projector, and do your best to keep any filters clean.
