DLA-HD1

Full High-Definition Home Theater Front Projector

True Black

INTELLIGENT PROJECTION SYSTEM
Remarkable Picture Quality
The DLA-HD1 brings full-HD to your home with the industrys highest native contrast ratio: 15,000:1. The native means that it does not rely on an iris mechanism to maximize contrast depending on the average brightness of one scene. This technical slight of hand, employed on other projectors, effectively changes overall luminosity, so that blacks are slightly bleached in bright scenes, while light colors appear duller in dark scenes.

Easy Home Theater Setup

Setting up a home theater system may sound daunting, and in the past it may have been. But JVC has incorporated into the design of the DLA-HD1 projector several ingenious features that make setup flexible and easy. Take, for example, the lens shift function. Its generous 80% vertical range means you can install the projector on a table, the floor or the ceiling, and still position the picture just where you want it. The same intelligent projection system offers a 34% horizontal shift, so you do not have to have the projector directly in front of the screen either.

There is neither an iris mechanism nor compromise in the DLA-HD1 projector. D-ILA is a mature technology, perfected by JVC, which can reproduce the brightest, most vivid colors simultaneously with the subtlest shadows, down the deepest, truest blacks. Only D-ILA can reproduce in full the rich image information contained in a high-definition source, be it broadcast or optical disc.
*The vertical and horizontal lens shifts cannot be set to maximum values at the same time.

Advanced Technologies

Installing a projector on the ceiling has usually been problematic because of the top cooling vents, but JVC has put both air intake and exhaust vents on the front of the unit. You can thus place the DLA-HD1 projector right up against a wall, or even tabletop. Another thoughtful touch is the position of the access panel for replacing the lamp. This is on the side of the projector, so it is always easy to get to.
There are a number of advanced technologies behind the beautiful picture quality of the DLA-HD1 projector.
1. JVCs original D-ILA (Direct-drive Image Light Amplifier) technology ensures a
natural, rich, flicker-free picture which does not suffer from the sort of colorbreaking phenomenon that can often occur with single-device projectors, especially when there is rapid movement. The result is a smooth picture, like that produced by film, with fine detail from one edge of the screen to the other. And there is also no obvious screen-door effect when using D-ILA devices, so the high-definition picture is like that produced by a film projector.
Access for lamp replacement
2. The new optical engine with wire-grid polarizers ensures precise light polarization that results in
achieving a native contrast ratio of 15,000:1. Objects that are normally black are shown with true blacks. And, irrespective of brightness, consistent response is assured, allowing the reproduction of a wide range of intermediate colors. groups significantly reduces chromatic aberration and ensures a high-resolution picture, with every point on the screen perfectly in focus. Also, the highperformance 2x zoom lens enables you to enjoy a large and impressive image even in smaller rooms.

User-friendly Design & Controls
Once installed, the DLA-HD1 projector continues to be user-friendly every day starting with a handy self-illuminating remote control. The buttons light up automatically, making it easy to operate even in a dark room. The remote control also includes direct keys to adjust frequently used functions such as contrast and brightness, in addition to video input selection. A convenient and detailed video adjustment menu allows you to easily adjust the picture to suit the source video and your own preferences. Additionally, the projector is equipped with 2 separate HDMI terminals on the back panel that ensure HDTV signals are transferred without any degradation.

Te c h n o l o g i e s Comparison between conventional projectors and the DLA-HD1
The secret behind the exquisite, film-like picture quality with 15,000:1 native contrast ratio lies in the innovative D-ILA device technology, the optical engine and the fact the DLA-HD1 projector does not rely on iris control. Conventional front projectors use an iris control to boost contrast ratio. With such projectors, picture resolution may be excellent, but the picture lacks good contrast. Here you can see the difference between a conventional projector with iris control and JVCs DLA-HD1.

D e t a i l
Professional-standard grayscale performance
JVCs original D-ILA pulse drive produces clear, high-precision gradations without employing error diffusion. High-precision calibration technology enables the faithful reproduction of dark pictures, in which luminance is 10% or less, so that the blacks can still be differentiated, thus resulting in pictures with appreciable texture.

Iris on

Lamp beam

New optical engine with wire-grid polarizers
Using a conventional PBS (Polarizing Beam Splitter), comprised of a glass prism with multilayer interference film, optical properties can vary considerably depending on the angle of the incident light beam; this makes it difficult to realize high contrast. However, the wire grid design employed for JVCs newly developed optical engine uses an inorganic reflective polarizing plate made from a glass substrate on the surface of which are ultra-fine aluminum ribs. This reduces to an absolute minimum the amount of stray light reaching the lens. Projection lens The combination of this polarizer with the newly Cross prism Light source developed D-ILA device Block prism increases contrast by a D-ILA factor of 5.
Reflected polarized light (S) Glass substrate Non-polarized light
For bright scenes the iris is opened, making peak values brighter, but at the same time blacks are lighter than they should be.

Iris off

For dark scenes the iris aperture is reduced, causing blacks to appear darker but at the same time peak values are also darker.

The newly developed 0.7-in. full HD D-ILA device can display peak whites and deep blacks on the same screen.
Newly developed 0.7-in. full HD D-ILA device
Conventional D-ILA devices suffer from surface unevenness, minute gaps and irregularities that are unavoidable using normal semiconductor manufacturing processes. Discontinuities between individual pixel cells or where the pixel cells are connected with the underlying semiconductor structure disturb the orientation of the liquid crystals, and the resulting diffraction and other effects lead to stray light. In the manufacture of this newly developed device, technology has been adopted to ensure extreme planarization; this reduces to an absolute minimum such stray light. Moreover, as a result of employing new liquid crystal materials and orientation technologies, the gap between pixel cells has been optimized, reducing it from the previous 3.2 microns to 2.3 microns, cutting light loss from the liquid crystal layer itself, and significantly improving compensation accuracy. Such new technologies have realized the extremely high device contrast ratio of 20,000:1, and at the same time halved response time from 8msec (Tr+Td) to 4msec.

Caution

D-ILA Device Characteristics
Do not project still pictures or pictures that have still segments for a long period of time. The still parts of the picture may remain on the screen. This is a characteristic of D-ILA devices and not a malfunction. The picture will disappear over time.

Maintenance Procedures

Dirt on the cabinet Gently clean dirt on the cabinet with a soft cloth. In the case of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in water, wring dry and wipe, followed by wiping again with a dry cloth. Pay attention to the following as the cabinet may deteriorate in condition or paint may come off. Do not wipe with thinner or benzene Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products Dirt in the air inlets Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dirt. Otherwise, use a cloth to wipe off the dirt. If dirt is allowed to accumulate in the air inlets, the internal temperature cannot be adjusted and this may cause a malfunction. Dirt on the lens Clean the dirt using commercial blowers or lens cleaning papers for cleaning glasses and cameras. Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to peeling of the surface coating film.
When Unit is Unused for a Long Time
Prolonged disuse of the unit may effect an error on the functions. Turn on the power occasionally and operate the unit.

Viewing Advice

Looking at the screen continually for a prolonged time will cause your eyes to get tired. Allow your eyes to rest at intervals.

Usage Environment

Avoid direct exposure of screen to direct sunlight and illumination. Block light using a curtain. Images can be well projected by darkening the brightness of the room. Do not use this unit in rooms with cigarette smoke or oily smoke. This may cause the unit to malfunction.

Transporting this Unit

When transporting this unit for repair or during house moving, attach the buffer material on the top and bottom of the lens for protection. Failure to do so may subject the lens to shock causing damage. Attach the buffer material after adjusting the lens to the center position.

Parts Replacement

This unit contains parts (optical part, cooling fan, etc.) that require replacement to maintain its functioning. The estimated time for parts replacement varies greatly depending on the usage and environment. Please consult your authorized dealer for replacement.

Precautions for Mounting

Special expertise and techniques are required for mounting this unit. Be sure to ask your dealer or a specialist to perform mounting. Depth of the screw holes (screw length) is 30 mm. Use screws shorter than 30 mm but longer than 19 mm. When mounting to a pedestal, ensure sufficient space (foot height of 21.5 mm or higher) around the unit so that the air inlets are not blocked. Regardless whether the unit is still under guarantee, JVC is not liable for any product damage caused by mounting the unit with non-JVC ceiling fittings or when the environment is not suitable for ceiling-mount. When using the unit hanging from a ceiling, pay attention to the surrounding temperature. When a heater is in use, temperature around the ceiling is higher than expected.
