16 Top Hanging Brackets:
on the wall, measure
and mark 3/4" down
from the top edge of the
desired frame location.
IMPORTANT make sure
they are marked on the
center of the studs and
verify they are level.
Bottom Hanging
Brackets: measure and
record the distance from
the top of the bracket to
the top of the matching
bottom bracket on the
assembled frame. Mark
this distance on the wall
from the top marked
location.

Locate the Wooden Studs
This step applies to wooden stud wall installation only. Determine and mark the exact
locations of two stud centers on the wall. Wooden studs should be spaced so that the
weight of the screen is distributed evenly. In order to achieve this, mark the studs that
are separated by at least one-third to one-half of the projector screen’s total width.
15
For example: if the projector screen is 100" wide, look for two studs that are spaced
between 33" to 50" apart. Stud spacing 48" apart would be ideal in this case.
1/4"
IMPORTANT Verify that each Hanging Bracket is properly secured before releasing
the projector screen to avoid injuries and property damages.
Mark the Drill Locations for the Hanging Brackets
Different wall types require
different types of hardware.
Hardware is included for wooden
stud and concrete wall mounting
only. For other wall types, please
consult a professional.
Wooden Stud Wall Mounting: using a power drill
and 3/32" drill bit, drill pilot holes of 3/32" (2.38 mm)
diameter and approx. 1.18" (30 mm) depth. Secure
each Wall Mounting Screw by using a socket
wrench, leaving about 1/4" of thread exposed.
Concrete Wall Mounting: using a power drill and a
3/8" masonry drill bit, drill mounting holes of 3/8"
(10 mm) diameter and approx 1.18" (30 mm) depth
at the marked locations. Insert Concrete Anchors
and hammer them into the wall, secure each Wall
Mounting Screw by using a socket wrench, leaving
about 1/4" of thread exposed. Socket
Wrench
Do not use power drill to
fasten the Mounting Screws.
Use the anchors provided
for concrete wall mounting only.
Do not use them for drywall.
Also, use socket wrench for Wall
Mounting Screws to prevent
damages to the screw heads.

Unwrap the Frame Pieces, and lay
them out carefully.
Then flip the Frame Pieces, so the metal
surface is facing upward.
The red arrows on the frames indicate
how many Fabric Tensioners to insert for
each Frame Piece. Repeat these steps
for all the Frame Pieces.
Line up the non-angled frame
ends of the Horizontal Frame
Pieces and slide the Center
Joint in the middle to connect
them.
Secure the Horizontal Frame Pieces
with the Frame Screws using the
Allen Key. Repeat these steps for the
other two Horizontal Frame Pieces.
Make sure that the assembly
area is clean and clear of debris
and sharp objects. At least two
feet of extra space is required
on all four sides when the
screen is spread out.

Tighten all the Frame
Screws to secure the corner
of the projector screen.
Repeat these steps until all
four corners are assembled
and secured.
Then, connect the secured
Horizontal Frame to the
Vertical Frame by inserting
the other end of the Corner
Joint.
Slide the two bottom
Hanging Brackets into the
track of the bottom frame.
Repeat these steps for the
top frame. The brackets
should be able to slide freely
along the frame track.
Hanging Brackets are used
to hang the projector screen
onto the wall.
There are four Hanging
Brackets for each projector
screen. Two go on the top
and two on the bottom frame
track.

According to the length of
the Metal Rods, match
each rod to the correct side
of the Screen Fabric,
then carefully insert each
Metal Rod into the
Screen Fabric pocket.
After all four metal rods are
inserted, lay the Screen
Fabric onto the back of the
assembled frame.

Install the Support BarAttach the Screen Fabric to the Frame
Line up each Fabric Tensioner with an arrow sticker. Begin with the center Fabric
Tensioner on each side of the frame. Once all the center Fabric Tensioners are secured,
then work towards each corner by snapping the Fabric Tensioners one at a time,
securing the Screen Fabric over each Fabric Tensioner along the way.
See the illustration below to determine the order of Fabric Tensioners to attach.
12
Snap!
WARNING If you are having difficulty getting the support bar in place, do not use
excessive force. Doing so may damage the projector screen.
Making Adjustments
If you notice any gaps at the frame
joints, first loosen the Frame Screws
on the back of the frame with the Allen
Key. While one person holds the
horizontal and vertical frame pieces
tightly together, the other person will
need to tighten the Frame Screws.
Repeat these steps until there is no
gap. Tighten the Frame Screws but do
not over tighten them.
14
A fair amount of tension is needed to pull the rods over each Fabric Tensioner. If
you are having difficulty with this step, try using a screwdriver as a lever to pull the
rod over each Fabric Tensioner, and be careful not to damage the Screen Fabric.

Screen Fabric is
designed to stretch.
Some force may
required to complete
this step. Once
finished, the Screen
Fabric should
be tight all around.
Support Bar provides extra support to the
center of the projector screen and prevents it
from sagging. To install the Support Bar,
it is best to work with an assistant.

Support Bar
Center of the Frame
At the center of the frame, while one
person pulls the bottom of the screen, the
other person needs to push the Support
Bar up to the groove of the top horizontal
frame and slide it diagonally into the
groove of the bottom horizontal frame
until it is straight over the center of the
frame.
You may need to undo one or two fabric
tensioners to help slide the bar in place.
