INFLATABLE SCREEN SETUP
STEP 1: UNROLL SCREEN AND UNCOIL TETHERS
Unroll screen on grass or tarp. Unfold the screen so it sits like a
clamshell with the white projection surface on the inside (so it
doesn’t touch the ground). Identify the top and bottom of the
screen. The bottom of the screen has the air intake for the air
blower. Be sure ground is smooth, level and free of glass, rocks or
other debris.
Uncoil white tethers from four corners of screen, top and bottom.
Screen should be at least 10’ away from structures and objects such
as fences, buildings, trees, overhead branches, power lines, electrical
wires, walls, etc. Choose a location where no direct light will hit the
screen.
ATTENTION: Do not drag screen across concrete, pavement or
other rough surfaces.

STEP 2: SECURE STAKES AND TETHERS
Place stakes in ground roughly 10 feet from the corners of screen at
135 degree angles.
For 9’, 12’, and 16’ screens, clip the tethers from the corners of the
screen to the stakes. For the 20’ screen, tie ends of tethers to stake,
preferrably using a clove hitch knot.
There are eight tethers total, four attached to the top of the screen,
four to the bottom. Make sure bottom tethers are taut when
connected to stakes, but leave about 3 feet of slack in the top
tethers. Tether length can be adjusted using the black sliders on each
tether.
ATTENTION: Be aware of any underground pipes or utilities before
driving stakes into the ground.
Place stakes in ground Attach tethers to stakes with clips

STEP 3: ATTACH AIR BLOWER TO SCREEN
Attach the air blower to the intake sleeve on the side of the inatable
frame using the cinch cord. Plug in the air blower using an extension
cord (not provided with Home systems).
Be sure the cinch cord is secured tightly around the coupling of the
air blower. Place the air blower in an area where it will not suck in dirt
or leaves. Do not use near water. Do not block vents on blower.

SPEAKER SETUP
STEP 1: SETUP SPEAKER STANDS
is step is only for 16’ and 20’
systems. 9’ and 12’ systems do not
include speaker stands. So if you have
a 9’ or 12’ system, skip to next step.
Remove speaker stands from
protective bags and pace about
ve feet to each side of the Open
Air Home Screen.
Extend the speaker stand legs so
that the leg supports are parallel
to the ground.
Leg supports

STEP 2: PLACE SPEAKERS
For 9’ and 12’ systems, place
speakers on ground about ve
feet to each side of the Open Air
Home Screen.
For 16’ and 20’ systems, place
speakers on speaker stands.
Secure speaker to stand with
locking knob located on the back
of the speaker, (some speakers
do not have a locking knob).
Raise speaker on speaker stand
to desired height. Secure with
pin then tighten locking knob on
stand so the speaker does not
rotate.
ATTENTION: Do not over tighten
the locking knob. The pin
supports the weight of the
speaker, not the locking knob on
the stand.

STEP 3: ATTACH POWER AND AUDIO XLR CABLES
Connect speaker power cord to each speaker. Plug in speaker
power cord to an extension cord or power source. Plug in 50’ (or
100’ for 20’ system) XLR audio cables in to the XLR input (middle
jack) on the back of each speaker. Run other end of XLR cables to
the CineBox Pro console, but do not connect yet.
ATTENTION: Make sure speakers are turned off and speaker volume
is all the way down (counterclockwise) before connecting speakers
to power or CineBox console. Do not power on speakers until XLR
cables have been connected to CineBox console. Failure to do so
could result in damage to speakers due to power surge.
Plug this end of 50’
or 100’ XLR cables
into XLR (middle)
input into the back
of each speaker
SPEAKER SETUP
Run this end of 50’ or 100’ XLR cable to the
CineBox Console from each speaker, but don’t
plug into the console yet
Speaker input will look
similar to this (actual XLR cables and inputs not pictured, for illustration purposes only,
CineBox™ console will vary with system definition )
