How to install Da-Lite Da-Snap Series Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Snap Series is a straightforward process when you plan ahead and follow proper mounting practices. Begin by selecting a location with a solid wall surface and, if possible, locate studs to ensure maximum support for the large, heavy fixed-frame screen. Use a stud finder to identify secure attachment points, and measure carefully to confirm the intended viewing height and ideal viewing angle for your space. Prepare the tools you’ll need, including a level, a drill, appropriate mounting hardware, and a helper to hold the frame during installation.

Next, assemble the frame pieces per the included instructions, ensuring all joints are square and secure. If you’re mounting in-wall, align the frame to the wall opening dimensions you’ve prepared, and verify that the opening accommodates the 1.5" frame thickness without interference. Attach mounting brackets or hardware through the frame back to the wall studs, using hardware rated for the screen’s weight and your wall type. For wall-mounted installations, level the frame and tighten the fasteners incrementally to avoid skewing the frame. If you’re opting for a wrap-around or curved-frame configuration, follow the specialized alignment steps provided by Da-Lite to maintain a visually seamless appearance and proper projection alignment.

Once the frame is securely mounted, carefully place the projection screen fabric onto the frame, ensuring even tension along all edges. Use the recommended tensioning procedure to eliminate sag and prevent shimmering at the surface. Double-check that the screen remains perfectly flat and free of warping, then perform a calibration test with your projector. Adjust throw, keystone, and alignment as needed to achieve a crisp, undistorted image across the entire diagonal. Finally, verify accessibility for maintenance and ensure there is adequate ventilation around the frame to prevent heat buildup that could affect image quality over time.

Throughout installation, handle all frame components with care to prevent marring the finish. If you’re working in a high-visibility space, consider professional installation services to guarantee precise alignment and an aesthetically seamless result.
