How to Install Da-Lite Model C Projection Screen with CSR

• 1) Plan your installation location carefully. Determine whether a wall or ceiling mount provides the best viewing angle for your room, taking into account sightlines, ceiling height, and obstructions. If your space has irregular stud placements, prepare for the optional floating mount brackets to ensure a level, secure installation.
• 2) Locate structural anchors. Use a stud finder to identify wall studs or ceiling joists where the mounting brackets will attach. Mark the mounting points precisely to guarantee that the screen hangs evenly and operates smoothly. Confirm that there is enough clearance for the fully extended 123-inch diagonal screen and for the CSR mechanism to function without interference.
• 3) Install mounting hardware. Attach the chosen mounting brackets to the walls or ceiling according to the included hardware and the bracket manufacturer’s instructions. If using floating mount brackets, ensure they are aligned with the stud locations and level, providing a stable base for the screen case.
• 4) Hang and secure the screen case. With assistance, lift the screen into its mounting brackets and secure all fasteners firmly. Check for levelness and verify that the case sits flush against the mounting surface, allowing the fabric to deploy unobstructed during use.
• 5) Test operation and safety. Gently pull the screen down to its full extension and observe the CSR action as it retracts. Confirm that the motion is smooth and quiet, and that the screen fully returns into the case without binding. Keep the area clear during operation and ensure that no cords or loose items could interfere with the screen’s movement.
• 6) Final checks and setup. If your room has ambient light considerations, consider dimming options, blackout curtains, or wall treatments to optimize image contrast. Confirm the viewing height and throw distance align with the projector’s placement, and adjust if necessary to achieve the desired image size and focus across the 123-inch diagonal.
