Tried it on another power source as well but same result. No USB connected to the projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned the power on and approximately 30 seconds later it turns off with the warning lights on. According to the manual ‘the internal temperature is abnormally high’. i haven’t even seen any picture out of the projector and the machine doesn’t seem to be hot at all. Is this a faulty unit? Anything I may have forgotten during the installations? TIA You said warning light’s’. May I ask, 30 seconds after power up, does the right hand led go from green to red, with the left hand warning led flashing red & middle led flashing orange?

So after 30seconds, Left warning light flashes repetedtly 3 times (the manual says it is internal temperature issue), the middle light is off, right light turn from green to red) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueRealist Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I have a small UPS on my N7. It provides surge and spike protection, and true sine wave AC output as soon as power fails. I get 10+ minutes of backup allowing plenty of time to shut the projector down normally upon a power outage - permitting the projector fan to cool the lamp etc before shutdown. Given the cost of these projectors, vulnerability of their power circuits, and the the pain in the arse when you have to pull one off the ceiling and take it in for repair, I believe one of these is cheap insurance. The one I have runs silent until mains outage, then its internal fan cuts in. I also have it backing up my HTPC. I would be happy to provide details if anyone wants more info. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been digging around in my shed. Used to use this ups for my system years ago. Might dust it off and give it a go for peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR, can u send some details of what your using currently. Thanks. CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCDa-AU This is the one I have. It is by far the best value pure sine wave model available in my opinion. I believe a pure sine wave type is important for the high end projectors we are using. It's also the only silent one I could find at the time (fan only runs when mains power fails) so ideal for home theatre. Very happy with mine. They advertise that this also includes a battery replacement within 2 years. https://www.austin.net.au/cyberpower-pfc-sinewave-series-1500va-900w-10a-tower-ups-with-lcd-and-6-x-au-outlets-cp1500epfclcda-au-2-years-adv-replacement-incl-int-batteries.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgpj8473Z5gIVlBaPCh1YSgPwEAkYCyABEgLTGPD_BwE 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I bought this unit I did a bit of research. I recall there is a review of the unit online somewhere that shows the output generated in backup mode on an oscilloscope. The sine wave generated was shown to be more pure than the mains sine wave. You should be able to find this via Google search. Of course the "pureness" of a sine wave is a somewhat subjective thing, and the more money you spend the closer you might get to perfection Edited December 29, 2019 by TrueRealist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the "pureness" of a sine wave is a somewhat subjective thing, and the more money you spend the closer you might get to perfection Below is the link to the youtube video I think you were talking about , showing the Cyberpower's sine wave output in backup mode. That is extremely impressive because I understand that most of these types of units especially at that price point actually put out a "dirty" sine wave that more resembles a square wave and not really suitable for sensitive high end AV electronics gear. At the other end of the spectrum there is Isotek and PS Audio that sell pure sine wave generators at 20+ times the price. Mind you, those units are actually generating a "new" sine wave all the time, and are unlike the Cyberpower unit which passes through the mains (sine wave) and only comes into play on backup. Irrespective, you convinced me. I just purchased one . cheers Jim Edited December 30, 2019 by Jimval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty boop Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 folks, if want some absolutely STUNNING 3D experience check out Moana 3D blu-ray. We watched the blu-ray of this some years ago., saw the 3D version come out and grabbed it some while ago. daughter saw it and wanted to watch in 3D today. and what a great experience on the jvc n7. its like this movie was made for 3D ... right from the opening where to all the way through even with the credits rolling. So so well done and comes up amazingly rendered in 3D. crystal clear and fantastic depth to picture. and some wonderfull colours and textures all way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a perfect lamp saving solution in case of mains loss. I purchased it for $330 delivered. Well worth it for what it does. cheers Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
