hardware are eing used.
3. Ensure that oth rackets are in perfect level alignment with one another. Use wall/ceiling wood screws
to secure to the wood studs. Use hollow anchors if mounting in drywall.

http://shop.elitescreens.com/accessories.aspx, e sure to position the washer etween the head of the
wall-screw and the anchor slots on the screen’s casing.

Do you have any IR codes I can use to achieve this?
A: Our IR remote controls have been evaluated and entered in to the databases of some
Universal remote control manufacturers. Please contact the manufacturer of your remote to
inquire about your remotes ability to function with ours. If they have not evaluated our remote
control then the following list of Binary codes will be used for most remote setups.
