5.0 Quick Sanity Check
After completing the setup of the Envy with your JVC projector, we recommend reviewing the following as a
final "sanity check" to help ensure everything is set up optimally:
● 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 the Envy Apple TV and Kaleidescape Setup Guides
on the madVR Envy website for more information. Or if you are using a different source device, check
its settings and make sure the source device outputs in a "native" or "direct" mode.
● 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.
● 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). The Transfer Function should be
HDR(PQ) if using the Automatic Picture Mode Selection, and SDR if using the Manual Picture Mode
section. These modes are discussed in section 2.0.3.
● 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 Picture Mode menu to confirm the
projector is using the corresponding correct color space (revisit steps 2 and 3 in the Projector Settings
section).
