Setting up the Inflatable Home Theater for Front and Rear Projection

Projector Distance

•Typically, set up the projector a distance (1x – 1.5x) the diagonal from the screen.

•In general, for a 16:9 screen ratio use 1.15x the diagonal for projector distance. For 4:3 screen use 1.25x.

•Follow the projector manufacturer’s instructions.

Projector Angle

•Attempt to position the projector so that it is parallel to the inflatable screen.

•Care should be taken so that the projector is aligned both horizontally and vertically to the front of the inflatable screen.

•If your projector has a keystone adjustment feature, this may be used to correct for the angle being slightly off.

Rear Projection Setup

•To use the inflatable screen with the projector placed behind the screen, first lift the black light guard up so that it does not block the white screen material.

•For nighttime video viewing, the black light guard can be removed from the frame.

•There are two grommets located in the lower corners of the light guard. To use the light guard to block overhead light while using a rear-projector, use the grommets to tie the light guard horizontally, so that it blocks unwanted light, but allows the image from the projector to be shown on the screen.

•Adjust your projector to rear-projection mode following the manufacturer’s instructions.

•Use the white nylon ropes and ground stakes to keep the

light guard in position for rear projection.	Light Guard
