TV/Projector: Barco Data 701
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2009 2:15 pm    Post subject: Help pls : barco data 701 mechanoical gun alignment
Hi, I am following the installation instructions for my new ( to me ) barco data 701 ).

I have gotten to the part about swinging the red and blue tubes to align with the crosshair for the green tube. I can see the two screws on the top of each tube to loosen but I can't find the other two screws for each tube to loosen to let the tubes move.

Have looked through the installation manual but can't find any Surprised( On sony and nec sets there are only two screws on the top but the barco manual says there are 4 - and 2 I can't find.

Anyone able to help me out as to where they are please ?

Thanks guys.

What a pain in the ass those two bottom outside bolts are to get to, eh ? I've only got one socket/extension combination that will both fit in that tiny opening, AND work to loosen the bolt...Usually I leave them loose and just fix the toe in position with the top ones since they're so hard to get to...

Luckily, my local cheap shop had a t-handle socket set for £1.50 that fits exactly Surprised)

But yeah, terrible design.

I always leave them loose after adjusting the tubes. the top bolts hold the tubes/lenses in place well enough.

Thanks everyone - all aligned and very very roughly setup - just enjoying an out of focus showing of casino royale before taking my time with it. Smile
