Product maintenance and precautions
Dust, dirt, and scratches on the projection screen surface will affect the quality and performance of the
projection image. Follow the instructions below to properly maintain the screen.
Cleaning and maintenance:
1) The screen surface has a horizontal linear structure. DO NOT wipe the screen up and down or
in a circular motion. Wipe gently from left to right only.
2) Clean the dust on the screen surface with a soft brush or microfiber cloth. A rough/coarse towel
or cloth may damage the screen’s surface.
3) Gently wipe the screen with a lightly moistened white lint free cloth with water or with a neutral
detergent mixed with water.
Attention:
1) Don’t touch the screen material to avoid leaving fingerprints.
Use gloves when handling the material.
2) Don’t scratch the material, as it will leave permanent markings on the screen’s surface.
3) Don’t point to the screen material with a fingertip or other sharp objects to prevent damage to
the material.
4) Don’t use acetone, benzene, alcohol, and any other organic solvents to clean the screen material.
Using such chemicals will permanently damage the screen.

as shown in the figure below.
ATTENTION: Place the frame pieces away from each other to avoid scratching them during
assembly.
2. Insert the Left/Right vertical frames (C) into the Elbow joints (A). Then connect (Part 1 + Part

3. Fasten the center joints on the Horizontal Frames (B) using the screws. Then, make sure all four
corners are properly in place to form a perfect square, then fasten the four angles with the M5x8
flat head screws (H).
Screen Material Installation
1. Put on the installation Gloves (N) to avoid touching the screen material with bare hands which
typically leave oily fingerprint marks that cannot be removed (Figure 1). Then, remove the
assembled frame from the Protection sheet (R) and place it in a safe area.
2. Take the Screen material (O) out of the packaging tube and set it gently on the Protection sheet
(R). Gently press one end of the screen material (screen edge) with a suitable weighted object or
just by using hand pressure face down (DO NOT press and crush the screen material). Two people
should hold the other end (rolled up end) slowly rotate the screen a clockwise direction (Figure 2).

3. Once the material has been completely unrolled, lay the material completely flat with the front
facing down on a clean surface in a horizontal position (Figure 3)
There are thumbtacks fixed on the paper tube at the end of screen expansion. Pay attention
to the thumbtacks to avoid stabbing yourself when removing them!
4. Insert the Fiberglass rods (L) through the sleeves on the edges of the screen material. The long
rods (1, 2) are used on the vertical edges of the screen material, and the short rods (3, 4, 5, 6) are
used on the horizontal edges, as shown below.

Center support bar installation
Push the Center support bar (M) in the middle of the frame and align each end of the support bar with
the top and bottom frames.
6. Carefully and gently place the assembled frame on top of the screen material. Make sure to not allow
the angle edge of the frame to come in direct contact with the screen material to avoid puncturing it.
7. Ensure that the sliders in the left and right short frames (two sliders on each side) are fixed 1/4 of the
frame away from both top/bottom ends.
Adjustment Bar to Frame Installation
8. Once all the four corners of the frame have been
properly aligned on the marked areas on the
material, two people should insert the M4x40
screw (J) through the frame hole and fasten it on
the adjustment bar (Q) by turning it twice.
Note: Don’t over tighten. Adjust until all
screws have been inserted.
9. Secure and tighten the M4x40 screw (J) using
the M3 Hex Key (K) symmetrically in the following sequence: 1-1 → 2-2 → 3-3 → 4-4 → 5-5 → 6-6
→ 7-7 → 8-8 → 9-9 → 10-10 → 11-11 → 12-12 → 13-13.
ATTENTION: Make sure the screen material does not shift and remains aligned on all 4 corners of the
frame before proceeding to 4-4→ 5-5 → 6-6 → 7-7. Failure to keep material aligned will cause it to get
squeezed when installing the edge trim and result in damage.
Note: The distance between the adjustment bar and the edge of the frame is
approximately 0.11-0.14” (3-4mm) after completely fastened.

10. After installing the adjustment bar to the frame, lift the frame (two people) to check the screen surface.
If there are visible waves on the screen surface, adjust the tightness of the screws to make the screen
surface flat.
DO NOT PROCEED TO THE EDGE TRIM INSTALALATION STEP IF THERE ARE ANY WAVES OR
THE SCREEN SURFACE IS NOT FLAT.

Edge trim Installation
1. Place the Edge trim (D) on the four sides of the frame.
(Note: The edge trim with the LOGO on the front should be on the bottom frame right of the
screen and can also be distinguished by the product label on the backside.)
2. Place all the trim pieces along the edge of screen material, adjust the trim so that the top and
bottom trim pieces are touching and show no gaps in the center. Then align the M3x8 screw (G)
with the A & B holes as shown in the illustration below.
Edge trim corner installation
Place the Edge trim (D) on the frame, overlap in the frame angle seam, and align them with the
hole on the frame leaving no gaps. Then fasten screw A then B.
* Leave approximately a 2mm gap on screw A for the next step.

Corner cover installation
After the bezel trim has been installed, place a corner cover (P) on all four corners and finish fastening
screw A on the corner bezel edge trim to secure it.
Protection Film Removal
After the edge trim has been installed, gently pull out the film in small sections avoiding the use of too
much force to avoid scratching the back of the screen.
Wall bracket installation
Slide the Sliding nut (E) to a quarter of the Left/Right vertical frame (C), align the hole of Wall bracket
(F) with the screw hole of the Sliding nut (E), then fasten with an M5x8 screw (H).
Note: The long groove is on the top.

Notice to Installer:
Please use the following installation instructions to obtain superior optical performance from the Retro
Reflective CLR®/ALR (Ceiling/Ambient Light Rejecting) StarBright™ 9 Screen.
The following guidelines should also be followed.
1. Minimum throw distance of 1.5 x the image width
• Avoid a hotspot effect
• Light absorption – The angle of incident
light is too steep and will get absorbed by the
optical lenses. This will create a very dim
image and affect the overall picture quality.
2. Ambient light should not come from the same
direction as the projector’s light
3.Not compatible with ultra/short-throw projectors
4. Do not install the standard-throw projector at
an angle that is greater than 5° off the vertical
axis from the screen. The ambient light filtration layer in the material is designed to absorb off-axis light
rather than reflect it.
Installation
Pre-installation and preparation
1) Determine where the screen will be installed and mark four holes points according to the
horizontal and vertical wall bracket distances, ABCD.
•AB / CD Horizontal Distances are 78.9” (2005mm) apart
•AC / BD Vertical Distances are 28.9” (734.5mm) apart.
※ Please make sure that points AB and CD are measured horizontally, and points AC and BD are
measured vertically.

2) Confirm all points are leveled and make any necessary adjustments.
3) Drill pilot holes at the four points, A, B, C and D.
4) Fasten a screw directly at each location if installing on a wood stud or use dry-wall anchors if
installing on dry-wall. Install the screw and leave half-inch away from the wall.
5) Two people lift the screen, first clamp the two lower wall brackets on the screws (C / D), and
then slide the screen up to clamp the two upper wall brackets on the screws (A / B.
6) Slide the screen left or right to assure it is fixed, then try to move the screen forward to confirm
all four wall brackets on the screen are stable and properly secured to the screws.
