Da-Lite Model C CSR Projection Screen — 84in (Wall or Ceiling Mounted, Manual)

The Da-Lite Model C CSR Projection Screen combines rugged engineering with refined versatility, delivering a large-format, high-quality viewing surface tailored for sizable rooms such as classrooms, training facilities, conference spaces, and home theaters. This manual screen is designed for either wall or ceiling installation, offering dependable performance in active environments where reliability and quiet operation matter. The standout feature is CSR — Controlled Screen Return — a precision mechanism that enables a quiet, controlled retraction into the case, reducing disruption during presentations and protecting the screen from abrupt impacts. For installations that demand flexibility, optional floating mount brackets accommodate stud-based mounting, making leveling and alignment easier even on imperfect walls or ceilings. The 84-inch diagonal format provides expansive viewing real estate while preserving image clarity, making it an excellent choice for presenters who require a large, readable projection surface without compromising ease of use or durability.

• Large-format projection surface for impactful presentations: An 84-inch diagonal screen delivers a broad viewing area ideal for classrooms, training rooms, and corporate spaces. The matte white projection surface is designed to deliver even brightness and sharp image reproduction from a variety of projectors, helping content appear clearly from the back rows to the front row. This generous size reduces the need for excessive keystone corrections and supports comfortable viewing across multiple seating setups.
• Controlled Screen Return (CSR) for quiet, reliable operation: CSR provides a smooth, controlled return of the screen into its case, minimizing noise and mechanical wear. This feature helps preserve the screen’s tension and flatness, ensuring consistent image quality over time. With CSR, there’s no jerky or abrupt full-speed retraction; instead, the screen glides back with a measured, whisper-quiet motion that won’t distract audiences during presentations. The Model C CSR is designed to be fully extended when engaged, guaranteeing dependable retraction every time.
• Flexible mounting options with floating bracket compatibility: The screen can be installed on a wall or a ceiling, offering installation flexibility to suit room layouts and projector placements. Optional floating mount brackets are available to accommodate stud-based installations, which helps achieve precise alignment and reduces the risk of mounting misalignment. This adaptability makes the Model C CSR a practical choice for renovations or retrofits, as it can conform to existing architectural constraints while delivering a clean, professional appearance.
• Durable construction for daily use: The Model C CSR features a robust housing designed to withstand the rigors of active classrooms, training environments, and corporate spaces. A sturdy aluminum case provides long-term reliability, with a clean, professional finish that resists scuffs and wear. The surface tension is engineered to maintain flatness and reduce edge curling, delivering a stable viewing surface that remains true from seat to seat and over time as usage patterns evolve.
• Ideal for large rooms and multimedia collaboration: This 84-inch screen is purpose-built for large-format imaging, making it an excellent solution for multimedia-heavy presentations, lectures, and collaborative sessions where multiple viewers require a clear, readable display. The combination of a generous viewing area, a high-quality projection surface, and the quiet CSR mechanism ensures that the focus stays on the content, not the equipment. Whether in education, corporate meetings, or home theater setups, the Model C CSR helps create an immersive viewing experience with crisp edges and uniform brightness.

How to install Da-Lite Model C CSR Projection Screen

• Plan mounting location: Select a wall or ceiling spot with a clear projection path and solid structural support. If wiring or mounting hardware is unknown, locate from behind the surface and verify there is no interference with existing fixtures.
• Prepare mounting hardware: If using optional floating brackets, gather brackets, fasteners, and anchors appropriate for wall studs or ceiling joists. Have a level and a helper on hand to ensure precise alignment during setup.
• Attach mounting brackets: Mark the drill points on studs or joists, then securely fasten the brackets using the recommended hardware. Verify that brackets are level, square, and capable of supporting the screen’s weight over the full extension range.
• Mount the screen case: Hang or bolt the screen housing to the brackets per the manufacturer’s instructions. Check for wobble and adjust as needed to maintain a stable, flush appearance when the screen is in use.
• Test operation and alignment: Slowly pull the screen down to full extension and confirm smooth, quiet CSR engagement. Check the top and bottom alignment from multiple viewing positions and adjust the mounting if necessary to maintain a flat, even surface with no edge skew.
• Finalize setup: Tighten all fasteners, confirm there is no obstruction along the projection path, and perform a full retract-and-extend cycle to ensure consistent performance before clinical or classroom use.
