Frame Assembly

1. Unwrap the frame pieces. Assemble frame pieces on provided
foam sheet. This will help keep the frame clean and protect it
from scratches.

NOTE: The frame pieces are labeled “top” and “bottom”. Be

sure the frame pieces are assembled according to the labels.
This will ensure the attachment pattern on the frame and
screen surface will match.

2. Slide the frame pieces together at corners.

NOTE: The frame assembly holes may not appear to it

properly at the corners until all fasteners have been attached.
Once fasteners are attached, the frame corners will be drawn
in for a proper it.

3. Secure frame pieces with black lat head screws provided. Do
not tighten screws until all are started. See Figure 1.

4. Attach the eight #8 studs to the back of the frame in the
predrilled holes.

Material Handling Guidelines

CAUTION: Handle screen surface with care. Ambient light rejecting screen surfaces are delicate and should remain lat at all

times.

• Carefully and evenly unroll screen surface to ensure latness.

• Do not fold, stretch or crease screen surface.

• Do not allow objects to rest on screen surface.

• Do not puncture screen surface.

Cleaning

Parallax screen surface can be cleaned as follows:

Using a white clean cloth (100% cotton preferred) that is dampened with clean water, gently wipe the area in a horizontal direction. Do
not wipe in a vertical direction or with a circular motion. Using a dry 100% cotton cloth, wipe screen surface dry in horizontal direction
after each cleaning. Windex Original spray cleaner can be used on tough to clean areas.

3. Remove foam and unroll screen surface evenly on the back
of the frame. Make sure that the perimeter of the screen
surface is resting on the frame. See Figure 2.

Installation

There are three methods of installation based on the size of the
screen. Measure the width of the viewing area of your screen
and refer to the appropriate method of installation below. The
wall bracket diagram shows the type and quantity of bracket(s)
supplied based on the size of the screen.

Method 1: Screens 80" and smaller in viewing width.

Method 2: Screens over 80" up to 96" in viewing width.

Method 3: Screens over 96" in viewing width.

Installation Method 1 (Screens 80" And Smaller In Viewing Width)

1. Secure the wall bracket to wall studs at the desired height.
Make sure the bracket is level. The top of the frame will be
1/8" above the top of the wall bracket when mounted. You will
need at least 5/8" clearance above the bracket to hang the
screen. Figures 5, 6, and 7 show the proper orientation for the
supplied wall brackets.

2. To install the lower wall bracket, you must measure the
overall height of the screen frame and subtract 15/8". Using
that dimension, measure down from the top edge of the wall
bracket and mark the wall for two screw holes. The holes
should be centered within the frame and 6" apart. Refer to
Figure 6.

3. Attach the small wall bracket to the wall. Refer to Figure 7 for
proper orientation. Do not tighten the screws completely. The
bracket should slide up and down easily.
