Authorized JVC Reseller, go to www.jvc.com/pro. There are also a wide selection of cables
and adapters available directly from JVC.
Display Compatibility Requirements
JVC RS-VP2 video processing products are compatible with a wide range of displays. These include
digital TVs, projectors, and at panel displays, as well as other emerging technologies that can
support 480p or higher resolution video signals. To determine if your display is compatible with the
Reference Series RS-VP2, look to see if it has an HDMI or DVI digital video input. If not, then your
display may only have analog High Denition inputs or it is probably limited to receiving a standard
NTSC, PAL or SECAM interlaced signal and will not function correctly with RS-VP2. High Denition
Analog inputs include Component Video (YPbPr) and RGBHV using HD15 and/or 5 BNC terminated
coaxial cables. Component inputs that are not capable of accepting a 480p signal, at a minimum, are
usually labeled ‘480i’ (NTSC) or ‘576i’ (PAL/SECAM).
The following types of xed-pixel displays with digital video inputs should be compatible with the
RS-VP2 since a large majority of them can support higher resolution signals:
• Plasma displays
• LCD-based at panel and front & rear projection displays

SECTION 3 – SETUP
Initial Setup
STEP 1 - Power Up
1. Attach the removable power cord to the external power supply.
2. Plug the removable power cord into a wall outlet or power conditioner, if applicable.
3. Plug the small connector attached to the cable that comes out of the power supply into
the RS-VP2. The RS-VP2 should power on and display ‘Reference Series RS-VP2 / by JVC’
on the Front Panel Display (FPD). If this does not happen, check all connections and verify that the power outlet does supply power with another device.
IMPORTANT: Use only the power supply that came with your RS-VP2, or a replacement procured directly from JVC.
STEP 2 - Connect the RS-VP2 to the Display
Displays with a DVI or HDMI Input
Based on the factory default settings, just connecting an RS-VP2 to a display with an HDMI or
DVI input should complete this step as the default output is for the HDMI output to be active with
a RGB 4:4:4 signal which is the standard signal for a DVI/HDMI connection. Press the Menu
button once to conrm that you can see the On Screen Display (OSD).
Displays without a DVI or HDMI input:
Follow Steps 1-4 for a Component Input and Steps 1-8 for an RGBHV Input
Press the Menu button on the front panel of the RS-VP2 once. You should see ‘MAIN MENU / INPUT
SELECT’ on the FPD.
1. Press the Output Setup button once. You should see ‘MAIN MENU / OUTPUT SETUP’ on the FPD.
2. Press the u button. You should see ‘OUTPUT SETUP / Analog/Digital’ on the FPD.
3. Press the p button and you should see ‘Analog/Digital / HDMI (Digital)’. Press the pbutton once so that ‘Analog/Digital / BNC (Analog)’ is displayed on the FPD.
Press the Enter button.
4. You should now see the OSD
5. Press the q button one time and you should see ‘OUTPUT SETUP / Format’ on the FPD.
6. Press the u button one time to enter the Format menu.
7. Press the q button until you see ‘Format / VGA’ and then press the Enter button.
8. You should now see the OSD
STEP 3 - Selecting the Optimal Output Resolution on the RS-VP2 for
the Connected Display
Once you have installed the RS-VP2 into the system, you must properly congure it for the display
device being driven. If the OSD is not visible on the display’s screen when you press one of the
menu or sub-menu (Output Setup/Cong./Picture Control/Input Adjust) buttons on the remote
control, then you must complete Step 2 before continuing.
Determine the optimal output resolution to set the RS-VP2 to get the best picture from the display.
To do this correctly, the native resolution or maximum resolution of the display must be known.
11
12
Native resolution refers to the actual pixel count of a xed pixel display. Fixed pixel display
technologies include plasma, LCD, DLP and LCoS. CRT-based technologies use scan lines so they do
not have a native resolution but they do have a maximum resolution.
Keep in mind that some displays do not accept their native resolution and almost all HDTVs will
accept 720p and 1080i resolutions, but no xed pixel display has a native resolution of 1080i.
In almost all cases, the picture will be better if one of these displays is sent a 720p signal instead
of a 1080i signal.
To change the Output Resolution, press the Output Setup button on the remote and navigate down to
‘Format’. Press u once and select the desired output resolution.
Output Setup _ Format _ (Make Selection)
These are the most likely resolutions for the available display technologies.
Front Projection – 852x480, XGA, 720p-60, 1080p-24/48/60
LCD Rear Projection – 720p-60, 1366x768
Front Projection – XGA, 720p-60, 1366x768, 1080p-24/60
Direct View – XGA, 720p-60, 1366x768, 1080p-60
be the native resolution of the display or the display may scale all input signals even if the input reso-
lution is already at native resolution. Check to make sure that the output resolution selected on the
RS-VP2 is the correct output resolution for the display. Also check to make sure that the display is in the
correct Aspect Ratio mode, which may be causing the display to do additional unnecessary scaling.
The correct mode may be called ‘Native’, ‘Dot-by-Dot’, ‘Full’, or ‘Anamorphic’.
NOTE: If this test pattern does not appear as it should, and you have chosen the native resolution
of the display, you may not be able to bypass the internal processing on the display. This does not
mean that the RS-VP2 can not still make an improvement in the image quality. In these cases select
the closest output format to the display’s native resolution.
Vertical Lines
The ‘Vertical Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel wide black and white columns. If you see
any irregular pattern(s) in the image, you know that the display is scaling the signal horizontally.
Horizontal Lines
The ‘Horizontal Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel tall black and white rows. If you see
any irregular pattern(s) in the image then you know that the display is scaling the signal vertically.
STEP 4 - Connecting the Sources to the RS-VP2
Up to 11 video sources can be connected to the RS-VP2
Front Projection – XGA, 720p-60, 1080p-24/60, 1400x788, 1400x1050
CRT Rear Projection – 480p, 540p, 1080i-60
Front Projection – 720p-60, 1080p-60, 1280x960, 1440x960, 1440x1152
NOTE: Driving a CRT front projector beyond its capabilities may cause damage. Check with JVC if
you are unsure of the display’s capabilities.
Test Patterns to Use:
Frame Geometry (Adjusting for Overscan)
When this test pattern is displayed correctly, there should be a one-pixel wide white border around
the edge of the screen: If it is not sized correctly, it means that the display is overscanning the input
signal. This is very common and is known for cutting off sports scores at the bottom of the screen.
Use the ‘Underscan’ control to shrink the size of the output image so that you can see all of the
active area of the signals coming from your sources. If it is also not positioned correctly, use the
‘Image Shift’ controls to position it correctly. These controls are available under the Aspect Ratio
setting in the Output Setup menu.
Checkerboard (Verifying if Display’s Processing Can Be Bypassed)
Use the following suggestions for connecting several popular sources to the RS-VP2
SD-DVR/STB – S-Video/Composite and Optical/Coaxial/Analog audio
HD-DVR/STB – HDMI or DVI/Component and Optical/Coaxial audio
DVD Player/Recorder – HDMI or DVI/Component and Optical/Coaxial audio
HD-DVD Player – HDMI or Component and Optical/Coaxial audio
Blu-ray Player - HDMI or Component and Optical/Coaxial audio
VCR – Composite/S-Video and Analog audio
LD Player – Composite/S-Video and Optical/Coaxial audio
Xbox – Component and Optical audio
Xbox360 – Component/RGBHV and Optical audio
Xbox360 Elite – HDMI or Component and Optical audio
PS2 – Component and Optical audio
PS3 – HDMI or Component and Optical audio
Wii – Component and Optical audio
Apple TV – HDMI or Component and Optical audio
HTPC – HDMI or DVI and Optical/Coaxial audio
When the checkerboard test pattern is displayed correctly, close up you should be able to see a
1-pixel checkerboard and at proper viewing distance the image should appear as an even gray. If
the display is CRT-based you will not see this checkerboard, but the screen should be an even gray.
When this test pattern is displayed incorrectly, the resulting image does not look like a ne checkerboard and may have irregular patterns. When this is the case, the chosen output resolution may not
STEP 5 - Conguring the Input Sources to Get Maximum Performance
S-Video and Composite connections do not need to be setup the correct output resolution because
they only support standard denition resolutions, 480i or 576i. HDMI, DVI and Component outputs
need to be properly setup on each source to get the best performance. You can verify the resolution
that the RS-VP2 is receiving from the source by pushing the Info button.
