How to install Da-Lite Designer Contour Manual 135.8" Projection Screen

• Plan placement: Determine the ideal mounting location for optimal viewing angles from your primary seating area and ensure there is enough space above and below the screen for full extension and retraction.
• Choose mounting method: Decide between wall-mount or ceiling-mount installation based on room layout, projector position, and acoustical considerations. Confirm structural support to safely bear the screen in use.
• Mark and mount brackets: Use a level to mark the position for brackets or wall-plates. Drill pilot holes and secure the mounting hardware provided with the screen, ensuring a firm, level alignment.
• Attach the screen case: Hang or secure the screen case to the mounting hardware, verifying that the case is plumb and securely supported. Double-check that the case aligns with the projector footprint and seating sightlines.
• Nest and test the fabric: Gently pull down the screen fabric to full extension and inspect for smooth operation. Ensure the surface remains flat and taut with no wrinkles or misalignment along the edges.
• Adjust height and tension: If needed, fine-tune mounting brackets or positioning to achieve a perfectly level screen surface, proper drop distance, and consistent image geometry across the viewing area.
• Final checks: Power on the projector, verify the image fills the screen, and confirm the CSR mechanism returns the screen smoothly with minimal noise. Make any minor adjustments to seating alignment or projector throw to optimize image quality.
