Very few dealers will cover a warranty for a product sold on by an end user as this can open up a world of problems for said dealers.
The UK market is tiny for JVC. RS can offer these additional warranties as they are a chain and box shift so worth their risk.
Agreed. Richer Sounds are far from a box shifter. They are an employee owned business who give an awful lot back.I'd say RS are a bit far off from a box shifter. They seem to offer a fairly personalised experience, definitely in store in my experience.
Maybe not as far as the custom home cinema installer, but I'd hardly equate them with the nameless companies who just provide the devices. They also do offer installation services.
I'd say a fairer explanation of why they offer such a large guarantee is they're a much bigger company than the smaller independant stores.
I do wonder who they take out the insurance with. I've tried to get my JVCs insured and its a pain. D&G aren't interested if its above £3k or so.

They can give a good warranty because it is peace of mind for big purchases and ultimately no loss to themselves.
I have never had anything but excellent interactions with RS and will continue to use them when necessary.
I think they probably administer the warranties themselves. Although of that I am not sure.
They are transferable though I believe.
I thought that they are transferable but you have to sign it over. Not quite straightforward but doable as I recall. Might be wrong though, I will need to go and check.Their VIP warranties aren't transferable strictly speaking. Would be awesome if they could think twice about that, although given the huge length they offer - I can see why it might not work out for them.
I don’t think specific store ones should be transferable because ultimately they are just the facilitator for the manufacturer but manufacturer ones definitely should be. Ultimately if you have provided a 3 year warranty for something you make, regardless of who owns it you are saying it should work for at least 3 years so if it doesn’t then it’s defective and should be replaced or repaired FOC as they would if the original owner still owned it.Their VIP warranties aren't transferable strictly speaking.

Just bought something from someone who bought it from RS.. wasn’t the case mateI thought that they are transferable but you have to sign it over. Not quite straightforward but doable as I recall. Might be wrong though, I will need to go and check.
I will go and check the small print. I am sure I read somewhere it is doable. Might have been another warranty mind.....Just bought something from someone who bought it from RS.. wasn’t the case mate
I would definitely confirm what protection you would have in case of any issues. They do and can happen with projectors.I have emailed to ask them about this, I would exchange a couple of years warranty for the massive saving.
I have asked what the actual final price should be including duty etc.
Anything else I should be worried about?
Yes high laser is too loud for my liking so I, like most other users will only go to mid laser at most even though high laser does produce a noticeably brighter picture which I prefer.Can I ask anyone who has owned or used one their thoughts on fan noise when brightness is set to high. Reading a few people saying it's very loud, one person said unusable if in the same room. Nobody provided any measurements so its just really hard to judge what they count as high. Thank you in advance.
Can I ask of you game on the projector at all? Any problems not running at full brightness ? Mainly cod 4k 120.Yes high laser is too loud for my liking so I, like most other users will only go to mid laser at most even though high laser does produce a noticeably brighter picture which I prefer.
To use high laser you would need to construct a hush box or another ventilated space outside of the cinema room for the projector to sit in

Sorry I don’t game! But I can’t imagine there would be a problem. Lag I believe is quite low and the projector is suitable for gaming although not the quickest on the marketCan I ask of you game on the projector at all? Any problems not running at full brightness ? Mainly cod 4k 120.
I realised a while ago that if/when my current X7500 calls it a day that I'll either have to buy another used one or similar, or more likely just get a bigger TV. Time was I could afford to replace with new/ex-demo on a fairly regular basis but prices have gone up in the opposite direction to my willingness to spend that much on AV.Can’t help but feel that their bulb based projector will eventually cease to exist. So the min price of entry for JVC ownership will be one of these or equivalent. Moving further and further away from prices I can afford
You me both. Now I’m only volunteering and thanks to UK and global factors my proclivity for changing and upgrading is curtailed by a harsh does of reality!I realised a while ago that if/when my current X7500 calls it a day that I'll either have to buy another used one or similar, or more likely just get a bigger TV.
