|
|
Hi there -
I can't control my Barco 708 with the remote. I can use the on board buttons so can still watch a film, but no control. The Controller board 'sees' the remote - in that the LEDs light up when the remote is pressed, but there is no function.
Its been absolutely fine so far - I tried a different remote as well. No good. The only thing that happened recently is I upgraded my subwoofer, and some insanely powerful organ music rattled the ceiling and the projector quite acutely. Since then I lost the remote. I might add the projector wasn't on at the time. All cables seem fine. Could be a coincidence.
Is it likely the controller has failed somehow? As I said, the controller sees the remote signal.
Cheers - Jake Purches UK England

Q: My Barco remote has stopped working, what has happened?
A: If it happened after you changed the battery (or removed the battery), the remote needs to be set-up to control the projector. The Barco remotes can control multiple projectors in a chain using addresses. The projector can be set to respond to a certain address only, using the dip switch's on the controller, what has been set does not matter as all projectors will respond to address 000. On the remote between the Adjust and Standby buttons is a recessed button you can press with a pen, press it and then press the 0 digit on the remote. The remote is now set to projector address 000 and the projector will now respond regardless to the actual address its set to. Alternately you can press the recessed button on the remote while aimed at the projector or screen and the projector will display its address (or bring up the Barco information screen from the menu to view the address), then proceed by pressing those numbers in sequence on the remote i.e. if the projector displays address 025 press 0 then 2 then 5 on the remote and it will be set to control a projector with that address, either way the remote will work again.

Dear Tom
Yes that did it! Thanks a lot. I have spent the evening trying different controllers and I completely forgot about the remote. I did change the battery. Great!! A relief. Bless you.
Best regards
Jake
