How to install Da-Lite Fast-Fold Deluxe Screen System

Step 1: Unpack and inspect all components in the setup area. Confirm you have the folding frame segments, legs, and the projection surface in good condition, with no visible damage that could affect performance.

Step 2: Extend the frame legs and connect them to the central frame assembly. Ensure the leg-to-frame locking mechanism engages fully and remains secure throughout use, preventing any wobble or collapse during setup or operation.

Step 3: Stand the frame upright and extend the crossbars to form a stable rectangular structure. Double-check that all joints are locked and that the frame sits level on the floor to avoid any distortion of the projection surface.

Step 4: Align and attach the projection surface to the frame. Begin at the top edge, ensuring the fabric is taut and evenly distributed across the frame. Secure any top clips or hooks as designed, then lightly tension the bottom to remove any wrinkles for a crisp, uniform image.

Step 5: Position the assembled screen at the desired distance from the projector. Verify the throw distance matches the 185-inch diagonal surface and adjust projector placement accordingly to optimize brightness, contrast, and image scale.

Step 6: Apply any required calibration for color, focus, and keystone correction. If using a portable projector, ensure ventilation around the unit and keep cables organized to maintain a clean setup appearance.

Step 7: After the event, reverse the sequence for teardown. Detach the projection surface with care, carefully pack components, and fold the frame in manageable sections. Return everything to the carrying case or transport container to prevent loss or damage during travel.
