Da-Lite Model C Projection Screen with CSR – Wall or Ceiling Mounted Manual Screen – 70in x 70in Square Screen

Experience cinematic brightness and crisp, uniform images in medium to large rooms with the Da-Lite Model C CSR projection screen. This manually operated, square 70in x 70in screen is designed for flexible installation in spaces where wall or ceiling mounting is preferred. The CSR (Controlled Screen Return) system delivers a quiet, controlled retraction that keeps noise to a minimum and protects the projection surface from snagging or creasing. The combination of a robust aluminum case, a durable viewing surface, and a precision-tuned tension system makes the Model C a trusted choice for classrooms, conference rooms, training facilities, and home theaters. Optional floating mount brackets provide additional flexibility for stud-based installations, allowing you to align the screen precisely with room features and architectural constraints. With its clean lines and reliable operation, the Model C CSR is built to deliver consistent, professional results day after day.

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

Installing the Model C CSR is a straightforward process designed for both professionals and capable DIY installers. Begin by selecting a mounting orientation (wall or ceiling) that provides ample clearance for full screen extension and unobstructed projection. If you plan to use wall studs, consider the optional floating mount brackets to simplify alignment and achieve precise positioning. Ensure that the mounting surface is solid and capable of bearing the screen’s weight, and use appropriate hardware for your wall type (studs, masonry, or drywall anchors). After mounting the case, verify that the screen unfolds smoothly to its full extension and that the CSR mechanism operates without resistance or snagging. Confirm that the screen is level and that the projection surface sits in the correct plane relative to your projector. Finally, test multiple retraction cycles to confirm quiet operation and satisfactory wrinkle-free recovery into the case.

• Step 1: Determine the best mounting location with sufficient ceiling height or wall space for full screen extension.
• Step 2: Attach mounting brackets or the floating bracket kit to the wall or ceiling, using appropriate anchors for your surface.
• Step 3: Secure the Model C projection screen case to the mounting hardware, ensuring the unit is level and firmly fastened.
• Step 4: Extend the screen completely to verify smooth operation and that the CSR mechanism engages correctly during retraction.
• Step 5: Perform a final check for clearance around the screen and ensure there are no obstructions above or beside the projected area.
