Quick Sanity Check
After completing the setup of the Envy with your JVC projector, we recommend reviewing the following
checklist as a final “sanity check” to help ensure everything is set up optimally:
A.
Play any 4K HDR movie (except Gemini Man or Billy Lynn). Check the Envy Incoming Signal Menu
(press OK on the Envy remote when no Envy menu is active) and make sure that the
“Framerate” shows 23.976. If instead it shows 59.94, and you are using an Apple TV or
Kaleidescape, then your source device(s) are not set up for proper playback
–
check our setup
Apple TV and Kaleidescape guides on our website for more information. Or if you are using a
different source device, check its settings and make sure it outputs in a “native” or “direct”
mode.
B.
While playing the 4K HDR movie, check the Envy Incoming Signal Information to make sure the
“Transfer Function” shows “HDR”. If not, Envy is not receiving HDR from the source player. This
could be caused by a “rogue” device in the HDMI chain, or if using an AVR like the
Denon/Marantz
, make sure it is set to use “Enhanced” HDMI, so that it outputs the full 18 Gbps
bandwidth and is not restricted to 9 Gbps.
C.
While on the Envy Incoming Signal menu, press the right arrow once to access the Outgoing
Signal Information. Make sure that the “Framerate” shown here matches the “Framerate” from
the Incoming Signal Information menu (in this example, both should show 23.976).
D.
If the colors look undersaturated or oversaturated, check the Envy Outgoing Signal Information
and verify that the Outgoing
“Colorimetry” matches the color space you expect
for the current
content being played (e.g.,
“BT.2020” or “BT.709”), and
check the JVC menu to confirm the
projector is using the corresponding correct color space (revisit steps 2 and 4).
