Keep the Box
We suggest you keep the shipping box or boxes for at least 30 days. It is actually a great idea to keep boxes for audio products for the life of the product. Having the box and all packing will increase the trade-in value should you decide to move up and they are handy to have should you ever need to send the unit in for repair.
How To Receive a Motor Freight Order
The trucking company will contact you to schedule a convenient time to deliver the order. Please note that you must be present for delivery.
Visually inspect the box to make sure you see no signs of damage. If you notice any damage at all, take some pictures with your phone and make a note of them on the delivery receipt the driver will ask you to sign. If it is obvious that the product is damaged, please refuse the order and contact us immediately at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
Open your box as soon as possible and inspect the product for damage and contact us if you find anything wrong.

Is It Easy To Return An Item?
Yes, simply give us a call at 888.899.8776 or you can email our support team at support@audioadvice.com. Many times our team of experts can help figure out why the product might not be working like you expected and get things fixed over the phone, so don’t be surprised if we ask a few questions, we love troubleshooting!
If our tech help can not make you happy, we will email over a return shipping label with a Return Number.
Hopefully, you saved all of the original item’s box and packaging inserts. You will want to pack back up your return or exchange in the same way it came out of the original box. Once you have everything packaged correctly, tape the box on the top and bottom to assure it stays together. If Audio Advice shipped the item to you inside a second box, it's a good idea to use that same extra box to help prevent damage on its way back to us. To avoid it accidentally coming back to you, use a magic marker to cross out the old shipping label or just tear it off.
The return shipping label we send you will have our address on it, just make sure you take the box to the right shipper (UPS, FEDEX, or USPS) as per the label.
If you are close to one of our stores, please let us know if it is more convenient for you to return it to us directly. You will still need to get a return number by contacting us and shipping and/or restocking charges may apply.
When Will I See My Refund?
It usually takes around 7-14 days for the refund to show up on the payment method you used. We do inspect all returns for damage and accuracy of the item inside the box before issuing a refund. Some items may be subject to shipping and restocking fees.
Can I Exchange My Purchase For Something Different?
Sometimes those big speakers just don’t fit in the room or you might have bought a small subwoofer and later found out you’d love a bigger one. If you would like to make an exchange within 30 days of receiving your item, just give us a call at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com and we will help work out the details. Additional shipping charges and return costs may apply.
How Do I Cancel An Order?
If the item has already shipped out or is a special order item, it is not possible to cancel the order. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com to start the return process.
What If I Find Shipping Damage?
We need to know right away about any shipping damage. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com within 48 hours of your delivery so we can get the ball rolling on making things right. It’s very helpful to take some pictures and email them to us if possible.
Can I Refuse A Shipment?
You can, but unless the item is damaged, shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from your refund. If your item arrives damaged and you are lucky enough to be there, snap some quick pics and refuse the order. Then contact us so we can get a replacement on the way.
What Happens If My Order Is Defective?
This is actually pretty rare, most consumer electronics work fine out of the box 99.9% of the time. We’d like for you to contact us first by calling 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com so we can help get to the bottom of things. If your item is indeed defective during the first 30 days, we can usually exchange it for a new, replacement unit.
What About Service After 30 Days?
Audio Advice has a great relationship with all of our brands and can help you with warranty service by the brand after our 30-day guarantee period. Even after the warranty expires, we can arrange for service by the brand on products purchased from Audio Advice. Just call 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
How Do You Determine A Restocking Fee?
You may not believe it, but sometimes we receive items back that were put in the box with zero packaging and are completely destroyed or are missing many of the pieces that came with the item. We also track serial numbers and will get back different serial numbers. We’ve even seen different items than what we shipped out be returned. However, it’s very important to package your return properly so that nothing goes missing or gets damaged in shipping, which will result in a restocking fee or even no refund at all. If a product is opened and the market value of the product is reduced, then a restocking fee may be applied to the cost of restocking and the reduced market value of the product. The bottom line is if you treat us fairly, we will do the same.
Audio Advice strives to provide industry-leading support and service while also maintaining the lowest prices available on products for our customers. We work hard with our vendors to bring our customers the best products at each price point. As a part of that process, we work with our vendors to provide the lowest pricing in our stores and on our website.
Our prices should always be the same as any other authorized dealer, including big-box retailers and major online retailers.
If you believe that you have found a lower advertised price from a legitimate authorized seller, call us and let us know so we can make sure we can correct any inadvertent error on our side. As a matter of policy, we update our prices automatically if a vendor changes its authorized pricing policies, so we generally have the best prices all the time. Increasingly, there are knock-off copies of products online, usually sold by non-authorized dealers.
Please be sure that the item meets the following conditions:
- The item is brand new, in stock, and available for purchase
- The item has the identical model number, color, etc as the item on our site.
- The seller is an authorized dealer
As always, our goal is to provide a terrific customer experience, including industry low prices. We appreciate your support.
Overview
The JVC DLA-NZ8 is the middle of the 4K laser series and offers up serious features and performance for its cost. You get a true 4K laser, with 2,500 lumens and a great all-glass lens with High Contrast Optics and a High Contrast Optical Block. Throw in 8K e-shift X, support for HDR10+, Frame Adapt HDR, and lens memory for widescreen and you have something hard to beat for the price. If you are comparing the NZ7 to the NZ8, there are a few reasons to go with the NZ8. If you are doing a larger screen, the extra lumens will make a big difference. If your room has well-controlled lighting and you have a high-quality screen, you will easily see the improvement in details the 8K e-shift X provides along with better color and contrast from the upgraded lens and hand-picked D-LIA chips. Or, if you have both of these use cases, it makes it an even easier decision.
2,500 Lumen Generation 3 BLU-Escent Laser Engine
When we saw JVC was bringing their laser technology into less expensive units, we were very happy. There is just nothing like the colors you get from a good laser light source. They are pure, rich, and so lifelike. JVC uses the latest gen of their BLU-Escent laser light engine in the DLA-NZ8. It is actually their third version and more efficient than ever. This long-lasting light source will only reach its half-life at 20,000 hours or greater compared to lamp designs that hit their half-life at about 1000 hours or less. You will have a great picture for years and years!
Dual 8K HDMI 2.1 inputs with HDCP 2.3 Support
The DLA-NZ8 is one of the very first projectors to include dual 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 inputs with full HDCP 2.3 support. It is also one of the first to accept a full 8K/60P signal and can also handle 4k/120P. This means you will be all set for future generations of video gaming and video content platforms. We love the way JVC went above and beyond what you currently need to future-proof these projectors.
8K e-shift X Technology
All of your video content will get the benefit of JVC’s 8K e-shift X technology. e-shift X is a refinement of some tech JVC used before 4K D-LIA chips were available to improve resolution. The idea with shift is to flash additional images to fill up a full frame of 8K video. Last year's top-of-the-line unit used a single shift, but the new e-shift X moves the image in 4 different directions to create a full 8K image. The NZ9 and NZ8 are the only two models using this great tech. You will see fine details in objects that add greatly to the realism of your cinema experience.
65mm All Glass Upgraded Lens
The DLA-NZ8 uses the same size lens as the model below but with the better High Contrast Optical Block tech found in the lens on the top of the line DLA-NZ9. You also get High Contrast Optics which improve contrast. This is one reason the DLA-NZ8 has double the contrast compared to the DLA-NZ7.
Hand Selected .69” D-LIA Chips
Another reason the DLA-NZ8 has both better contrast and more lumens than the DLA-NZ7 is the fact JVC sorts and hand selects all of the three .69” D-LIA chips used in their projectors. The better the model, the higher the standard is for a chip to make it into that model. This not only gives you more lumens and contrast but better colors as well.
Frame Adapt HDR System
HDR is a technology that allows the makers of video content to produce an image even closer to real-life with deeper blacks, whiter whites, and fine contrast between colors. However, it was designed with flat-panel TVs in mind that can put out the light output needed for HDR. Projectors can not produce that same level of light output which meant the video processor of the projector needed to be able to figure out how to deal with each scene to deliver great HDR images. To do this, the projector needs to know a lot of things including how big your screen is, what type of screen material and its gain, and how the lens and light engine power is set for your projector. The projector knows where your lens is set and laser output power but has no idea about the other items. JVC’s Frame Adapt HDR solution coupled with the Theater Optimizer tech has you input the screen size and brand/model of your exact screen to enable it to work with known factors. It then also looks at each frame to determine how best to present the HDR image. The end result is beautiful and true to their source HDR images that look fantastic.
HDR10+ Support
With the goal of making HDR10 even better, HDR10+ was recently introduced. With the HDR10 system, the video feed contained information in its metadata that told the display device the maximum brightness of the entire piece of content along with the average brightness of the whole movie or show. HDR10+ sends over metadata with luminance information for every scene. This is a big deal! HRD10+ content is already showing up on UHD Bluray discs and from many streaming providers. The new models from JVC are the first projectors we have seen that can support HDR10+, a fantastic new feature!
Built To Last
Please be sure you have someone to help you hang your new DLA-NZ-8 as it weighs in at over 50 pounds, a true testament to how well it is built.
Great Warranty
The new JVC projectors all of the full three-year parts and labor warranty. But better yet, should you have any issues the team at JVC tech support can not get resolved, they have an amazing 1-year advanced replacement warranty. Talk about standing behind your product, that is quite the warranty!
