Hi Everyone,

My friend has a Barco Helios reality light valve and we are looking for a manual for this thing. We cannot find much information on this at all. Any links or info would be appreciated.

Mak, are you looking for something specific in the manual? The Helios is the same vintage and the chassis looks just like the BR 6300 DLC series. They even seem to use all the same lenses, so they'd probably be pretty similar as far as function and menus and such, I'd imagine. The 6300 was pretty popular, so that manual should be easy to find.

Look for the Barco part number for the Helios when you're looking for manuals, too - R9001970.

Cheers,
SC

EDIT - Here's a 6300 manual:

Ecrabb,

Thanks for the link, I was able to find the same manual as you provided. It seems that there is a convergence problem with the Red chip and I read at AVS that there is x-y axis adjustments on this. According to some posts, the Red and Green are aligned to the blue, which is static. There is not much information on the Barco Reality Helios projector. So far I am not impressed with the picture on this unit. If it has to be sent in for convergence, I doubt it would be worth the money. I could be wrong, so chime in and let me know regarding this model. Barco does not list a manual for this particular projector.

Thanks,

Mak

Low light output but the lamps are rated at 6000 hours versus 750 for the Reality 6300. If you need any 6300 parts, I have plenty except for the polarizers.
