Notice to Installer:

Please use the following installation instructions to obtain superior optical performance from the CineGrey 3D®
Angular Reflective ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) Screen.

Make sure to follow these instructions in order for the CineGrey 3D® to perform correctly.

•Angular-Reflective material is not compatible with ultra/short-throw projectors

•Minimum lens throw ratio 1.5x image width

•Ambient light must not come from the same direction as the projector

Since angular-reflective means that the projected image will reflect at the mirror-opposite angle, it
is important to position the projector so that the viewer will get the best possible image.

Step 1: Establish the general “eye level” of the viewers
Step 2: Set the appropriate projection level
Step 3: Adjust the screen height level and projection angle

Input Angle (A) = Output Angle (B) aligns with the viewer’s angle

Installation

Locate your desired installation location with a stud finder (recommended) and mark the drill-hole area of where the
screen is to be installed.

1. Drill a hole with the proper bit size according to the wood screws included.

2. Line up the wall brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a Phillips

screwdriver.

3. Position the frame screen onto the wall brackets (F) as shown in below.

4. The design of the wall brackets allows the frame to slide over them through its sides. This is an important

feature of the installation design as it allows your screen to be properly centered.
