How to install Da-Lite Cinema Contour 100"
Installing your Cinema Contour is straightforward when you follow these steps. Ensure you have a sturdy wall installation surface, appropriate mounting hardware, and a level to achieve perfect alignment. If you’re unsure about mounting to wall studs or ceilings, consult a professional installer for safety and performance.
Step 1: Identify the optimal mounting location. Measure the desired viewing height and ensure there is enough space around the screen for ventilation and projector placement. Mark the wall where the frame will anchor, keeping in mind any electrical outlets or ceiling fixtures that may influence placement.
Step 2: Locate wall studs and prepare mounting points. Use a stud finder to locate securely anchored points aligned with the screen’s mounting brackets. Pre-drill holes as needed and attach sturdy mounting hardware that can support the weight of the fixed-frame screen over time.
Step 3: Assemble the frame components as directed by the included manual. This typically involves connecting corner brackets and ensuring the frame sits square and flush against the wall. Tighten fasteners evenly to maintain a true, 90-degree frame alignment.
Step 4: Hang the frame on the wall using the prepared mounting points. Carefully align the frame and verify that it remains plumb and level. Small adjustments to bracket positions may be required to achieve perfect alignment.
Step 5: Attach the projection surface and finalize alignment. If the screen uses a removable surface or tensioning system, secure it evenly around the frame. Then attach the screen using the provided tensioning hardware or fasteners, ensuring the surface remains flat with no sagging edges.
Step 6: Test with your projector. Power on and project a test image to verify focus, color accuracy, and brightness uniformity. Make any final adjustments to frame alignment or wall mounting to ensure edge-to-edge consistency and a balanced picture across the entire screen.
Step 7: Perform routine maintenance. Periodically dust the frame to keep its finish pristine and inspect mounting hardware for tightness. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the frame and surface; use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning and follow the manufacturer’s care guidelines for the projection surface.
