Da-Lite Advantage 216" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Advantage 216" Electric Projection Screen brings cinema-quality presentation to large rooms with a clean, professional look. Engineered for ceiling-recessed installation, this screen conceals the rough opening with built-in ceiling trim, delivering a seamless edge and a polished finish once the space is complete. Designed to simplify installation and maximize visual impact, the Advantage series offers a two-stage installation option that lets the screen case be mounted during rough-in work and finished with trim at a later stage, reducing on-site downtime and preserving design flexibility. Whether you’re equipping a home theater, conference room, classroom, or multimedia space, the 216" Advantage provides a reliable, high-quality projection surface with convenient, user-friendly operation.

  • Seamless ceiling-recessed design with integrated trim to conceal the rough opening, delivering a clean, showroom-worthy aesthetic from every seating position.
  • Two-stage installation capability lets you install the screen case during rough-in and complete the final trim later, saving time, minimizing on-site labor, and reducing ceiling repair work after installation.
  • Quiet, dependable electric operation with simple control options—handheld remote and optional wall switch—for convenient one-button lowering and retraction with consistent performance over many years of use.
  • Large-format 216" diagonal screen in a 16:9 widescreen format provides immersive viewing for movies, presentations, and sporting events, with a high-quality white projection surface designed for bright, uniform images.
  • Durable construction and engineering—sturdy housing, smooth roller mechanism, and reliable fabric mounting—built to withstand frequent use in classrooms, boardrooms, and home theaters without compromising image fidelity.

how to install Da-Lite Advantage 216" Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Lite Advantage 216" Electric Projection Screen is designed to be a two-phase process that helps builders and end users minimize construction delays while ensuring a precise, clean finish. Begin by planning the rough-in stage around the ceiling structure and electrical line routing, then complete the trim-out once the ceiling work is finished. Follow these practical steps to install the screen efficiently while maximizing performance and longevity.

  • Plan the location: Determine the best viewing height and viewing distance for your space, ensuring the screen will be within reach of power sources and compatible with room lighting conditions. Confirm the ceiling cavity allows enough space for the 216" diagonal screen housing and that there is a clear line of sight for the projector.
  • Rough-in stage: Install the ceiling-recessed screen case during rough-in construction. Secure the housing to structural members per manufacturer guidelines, align it flush with the ceiling plane, and route electrical wiring for the motor. This stage minimizes later ceiling access and keeps the opening neat and unobtrusive.
  • Electrical connections: Bring power to the screen location in accordance with local electrical codes. Install a junction box, provide a dedicated circuit if required, and verify that the control wiring for the remote or wall switch is properly terminated and accessible after finish work.
  • Finish the trim-out: Once ceiling work and wall finishes are complete, install the ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening and securely fasten all edges. Confirm that the screen housing sits flush with the trim and that the projection surface is tensioned evenly without wrinkles or sags.
  • Test and finalize: Connect power, power-on the screen, and verify smooth operation of the motor in both directions. Use the included remote to lower and raise the screen, check for alignment, and ensure the edge blacks out cleanly against the wall. Calibrate any limit switches if needed and program additional control interfaces (such as wall switches or integration with AV systems) per your setup.
