Notice to Installer:
Please use the following installation instructions to obtain superior optical performance from the CineGrey 3D Angular
Reflective ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) Screen.
Make sure to follow these instructions in order for the CineGrey 3D to perform correctly.
•Angular-Reflective material is not compatible with ultra/short-throw projectors
•Minimum lens throw ratio 1.5x image width
•Ambient light must not come from the same direction as the projector
Since angular-reflective means that the projected image will reflect at the mirror-opposite angle, it is important to position
the projector so that the viewer will get the best possible image.
Step 1: Establish the general “eye level” of the viewers
Step 2: Set the appropriate projection level
Step 3: Adjust the screen height level and projection angle
Input Angle (A) = Output Angle (B) aligns with the viewer’s angle

Edge trim Installation
Included is an ultra-thin black edge trim that provides an elegant bezel finish
1. Place the assembled frame on a flat and clean surface. The projection screen surface should be facing up. Align the
tape with the edge of the screen, as shown in Figure 1. Once properly aligned, apply the black tape to the center of
the top and bottom of the screen material.
Figure 1
2. Without removing the adhesive tape, place all the trim pieces along the edge of screen material. Adjust the trim
pieces so that the four corners are evenly aligned. (Note: The Elite logo should be positioned on the bottom right).
Refer to Figure 2 below for a visual reference.
Figure 2
NOTE: Make sure the bottom edge trim with the Elite Screens logo is installed on the correct side. The back of the
material should be labeled with a DOWN sticker to indicate the material is facing in the down position. The Elite
Screens logo should be installed on the DOWN side
3. After properly aligning all trim pieces, carefully remove trim piece A (see Figure 3 below). Remove the inside
backing of the tape and place the trim piece in its original position on the frame. Repeat this step for the remaining
trim pieces in the following order: B-C-D-E-F.

Installation
Locate your desired installation location with a stud finder (recommended) and mark the drill-hole area of where the
screen is to be installed.
1. Drill a hole with the proper bit size according to the wood screws included.
2. Line up the wall brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a Phillips
screwdriver.
3. Position the frame screen onto the wall brackets (F) as shown in below.
4. The design of the wall brackets allows the frame to slide over them through its sides. This is an important
feature of the installation design as it allows your screen to be properly centered.
