how to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Electrol 72" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation by measuring ceiling or wall space to determine the best mounting location that aligns with the projector’s throw distance and seating arrangement.
• Ensure a dedicated power source near the screen for the motorized Elevation system. Verify voltage compatibility with your region and install a grounded outlet or dedicated circuit as required by local electrical codes.
• Attach the mounting brackets securely to structural studs or a reinforced ceiling/ mounting surface. Use appropriate hardware specified by Da-Lite for ceiling or wall installations to ensure stability and safety.
• Mount the Cosmopolitan Electrol housing to the brackets, then attach the projection screen surface. Check that the screen drops straight down without tilting and that the edges align with your intended viewing area.
• Test the motorized system using the included control (wall switch or remote) to verify smooth ascent and descent. Calibrate the screen height so the bottom edge sits at an optimal height for your seating layout and projector height.
• Dress the installation with cable management to keep power and signal cables neatly organized. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and clean the screen surface with a soft, microfiber cloth to preserve image quality.
• For optimal image performance, align your projector’s brightness, contrast, and color settings to complement the screen surface you’ve chosen. A well-calibrated combination of display and projector will maximize perceived contrast and color accuracy across the 72" diagonal.
