- Hi everyone
- I'm complete newbie in CRT projectors.
- I woudn't mind registering here, searching all that stuff etc if not that ocasion:

- I've seen few materials on youtube about Barco projectors some time ago, and their "fanclub", and back then i could just imagine how cool it could be to own one of such things.
- And voila, i got one similiar thing completely for free.
- I had no guarantee that this will work, basically. I took it, came back to my home and plug PS1 via SCART... and[b] nothing[/b].
- Just 3 leds were turned on.
- So i started to tinker around. I took off the cover and found out that [b]REX Elettronica RVT 150[/b] -is in fact- [b]Seleco SVT 150[/b].
- A bit of google and i found this nice site:
- http://www.adrian-kingston.com/SVT180.htm
- Explaining parameters and how to set up a bit newer model, but [i guess?] almost same.
- It wasn't enough because i didn't know how to turn this thing on.
- I found manual for my exact model here: http://www.curtpalme.com/Seleco_Downloads.shtm
- Quickly found that 3 leds means that my projector is actually in [b]standby[/b] state. It also means that i need to have remote to get it working.
- Sadly, there was no tv shop around [in my whole country!] which could have such remote.
- I decided to buy today two universal ones. Both programmable [or at least, they contain actual codes, not sure if they can "learn" new ones]:
- - URC-22B-PR UNIVERSAL FERNBEDIENUNG [catchy name huh?]
- - UET RM-788 UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
- Both of them have in base codes for Seleco and Seleco-based TVs and VCRs.
- I started do experiment and use one by one, then "shoot" my projector with them. I found few working oneswith both remotes.
- They work very weird, I'm pressing one of the digits for switching the channels and my projector is reacting to this but just for a second, and immediately turns itself again to standby.
- If i make to many tries i will "block" the unit, and i won't be able to do anything, so i have to turn it off and on again by main power switch.
- Also, in manual there is a chapter "SWITCH ON". There is a note which says that if i press the power switch instantly, the projector will go to standby state, but if i turn it on holding it with a few seconds, it will go to "P 1" or any memorized channel before.
- Sadly it is not reacting on holding the power switch too.
- I'm completely lost. Looks like a fairly simple problem to solve/repair, but i don't want to crash it.
- My knowledge with CRTs isn't great. I've once tried to move the picutre in and old Sony Trinitron.
- I crashed the whole geometry, and at the end i've found where was the place that was holding the image in proper horizontal position... but it was to late.
- Now, learning on my own past mistakes I decided that i won't turn random potentiometers and check what will happen :D.
