How to Install Da-Lite Da-Snap 106" Projection Screen
Installing the Da-Snap 106" Projection Screen is designed to be straightforward for professionals and capable DIY enthusiasts alike. Start by selecting your mounting approach—wall-mount or in-wall installation—based on room layout, viewing angles, and speaker placement. Ensure the wall or built-in opening is structurally sound to support the screen’s weight and use the included mounting hardware. For in-wall installs, prepare a clean rough opening that accommodates the frame while allowing space for cables and ventilation. Once the opening or wall brackets are ready, follow these general steps to achieve an aligned, wrinkle-free setup:
1) Plan the throw and height: Measure your projector’s throw distance and determine the optimal screen height for comfortable viewing from the main seating area. Mark the centerline and use a level to establish reference points. This step helps ensure the projected image fills the screen correctly and remains square to the audience.
2) Install mounting hardware: Attach the mounting brackets or in-wall channel system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a stud finder to secure brackets into solid wood framing or appropriate anchor points if mounting in drywall. Confirm level and plumb alignment before proceeding.
3) Prepare the screen frame: If the Da-Snap frame is modular, assemble the frame sections on the floor in the chosen configuration (wall-mount or wrap-around form). Ensure all corner joints are secure and the frame maintains a true rectangular shape. This helps prevent edge distortion and ensures a clean, professional appearance.
4) Install the screen assembly: Lift and attach the frame to the mounted hardware, or slide the frame into the in-wall channels. Verify that the frame is level and securely fixed. Attach the projection surface to the frame if it ships separately, and ensure the surface tension is properly engaged to prevent sagging or wrinkles across the viewing area.
5) Connect and test: Route power and signal cables carefully to avoid interference with the screen mechanism. Power on the projector and verify image alignment, focus, and color accuracy. Make minor height and tilt adjustments to achieve a perfectly center-aligned image across the entire 106" diagonal. Finally, inspect for any wrinkles or loose edges and re-tighten as needed. Regular checks after installation help preserve screen performance over time.
6) Fine-tuning and maintenance: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen surface as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could degrade the matte white surface. Periodically check frame connections and mounting hardware, particularly if the screen is used in high-traffic spaces or environments with frequent activity. A well-maintained Da-Snap screen will continue to deliver sharp, bright images and a professional aesthetic for years.
