How to Install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Electrol 164" Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Cosmopolitan Electrol is a straightforward process when you follow these general guidelines. Always refer to the manufacturer’s installation manual for precise instructions and safety precautions for your specific room and mounting conditions.
