Changing the structural design of the optical section from a conventional L-shape to a straight
configuration helped to reduce light leakage and by combining this new structure with a highly
efficient lamp, a brightness of 900 lumens** was realized. What’s more, integrating JVC’s
proprietary D-ILA device with the wire-grid optical engine provided very high contrast. And, by
equipping the newly developed lens with a fixed aperture to help eliminate unnecessary light that
reduces contrast levels, it was possible for the DLA-HD750 to achieve the industry’s highest
native contrast ratio of 50,000:1*.

Thanks to enhanced brightness created by the extended white peak as well as the wider dynamic
range for a deeper black, images are vivid and full of depth, making them perfectly suited for all
types of content, including movies, music video as well as live concert and sports programs.

* As of September 2008; native contrast of 50,000:1 for home theater projector class (JVC survey).

◆ High-performance 2x motorized zoom lens

The newly developed high-performance 2x zoom lens with
motorized focus features a large diameter, all-glass lens system
with 17 elements in 15 groups that includes 2 ED lenses to
project a full HD image with exceptional depth. And to display the
deepest black possible, this new high-precision lens is also
equipped with a 16-step* lens aperture that allows adjustment of
brightness according to user preferences and usage
environment. What’s more, the high-precision lens also reduces
chromatic aberration and color bleeding significantly.

* 3-step for the DLA-HD350.

◆ 6 Point Custom Color Management (DLA-HD750)

The DLA-HD750 features Color Management that interpolates colors
individually by R, G, B, C, Y, or M, in three separate axes of color
phase, chroma saturation, and brightness. Up to three
customized color settings can be stored for future use.

The 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA device can display
peak whites and deep blacks within the same
frame. This provides extremely sharp
contrast for more vivid and natural color
reproduction.

◆ Customized gamma control on-screen

Manual adjustment of gamma curve is possible via an on-screen
display, allowing the viewer to adjust projector luminance levels by
either increasing contrast in scenes that are too dark or dimming
washed-out scenes to ensure precise brightness levels suited to
individual preferences. Up to three settings can be adjusted and
stored for future use.

◆ Advanced video processor

Both projectors incorporate the HQV Reon-VX video processor
developed by Silicon Optix. To ensure excellent image reproduction,
this processor features precision I/P conversion and scaling with full
10-bit 4:4:4 signal processing as well as an HQV noise reduction
function to block mosquito noise.

The DLA-HD750 is a THX Certified front projector. With a strict focus on image
quality and signal processing performance, THX certification promises that the HD750 is capable
of presenting a wide range of video content at maximum resolution with the correct color and
luminance levels. In addition, THX certification includes a battery of signal processing tests that
challenge the projector’s scaling, motion conversion and de-interlacing capabilities. This in-depth
analysis and testing ensures that the HD750 will provide exceptional high definition and standard
definition performance.

◆ Flexible and easy set-up

Setting up is easier than ever before as the ±80% vertical and ±34% horizontal lens shift
function is now electrically operated, allowing the projected picture to be moved horizontally or
vertically effortlessly via the remote controller. What’s more, the 2x motorized zoom lens — with
throw distances of 9.8 feet (3.0 meters) to 20 feet (6.1 meters) for the 100-inch display —
makes tedious zoom or focus adjustment easy thanks to its high-performance motor.

◆ Illuminated remote control

All of the buttons on this full featured remote control light up, making it
easy to operate even in a dark room.

◆ Terminal for trigger functions (DLA-HD750)

The DLA-HD750 features a terminal that can be used for two trigger
functions. Screen trigger will automatically move the screen up and
down with power on/off control while the Anamorphic Lens trigger will
automatically move the anamorphic lens to stretch the screen to the 2.35:1
aspect ratio with V-stretch mode on/off.

◆ HDMI interface

Both projectors feature two HDMI (v.1.3) interfaces with
CEC compatibility.

◆ 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.

The vertical and horizontal lens shift function cannot be set to the maximum values simultaneously.

Also featured is a unique automatic lens cover that opens and closes with power on/off to
protect against dust. So, even if the projector is installed up on the ceiling, you’re assured of
easy, trouble-free operation via the remote control.
