How to install Monoprice 7338 120" Electric Projection Screen

To achieve a clean, professional look and reliable operation, follow these general installation steps. Always refer to the included installation manual for model-specific instructions and safety practices.

Step 1: Plan your installation. Choose a suitable ceiling location with adequate clearance for the 120" diagonal screen and unobstructed projection paths. Confirm there is access to a nearby power source for the motor and remote-IR receiver. If possible, locate ceiling joists to anchor the mounting brackets securely.

Step 2: Prepare the ceiling cavity. If you’re retrofitting into an existing ceiling, open the ceiling cavity where the recessed housing will be installed. Ensure the cavity can accommodate the housing depth and width without interference with ductwork, wiring, or other fixtures. Have a qualified installer handle any electrical work required to power the screen motor.

Step 3: Mount the recessed housing. Using the supplied mounting hardware, align the recessed projection screen housing with the ceiling joists and secure it firmly. Proper alignment is crucial to ensure the screen lowers evenly and sits flush when retracted. Triple-check that the housing is level and square.

Step 4: Connect power and test. Route the power supply to a dedicated outlet or junction box, following local electrical codes. Once powered, use the IR remote to lower the screen and confirm smooth travel, quiet operation, and proper stopping alignment. Address any misalignment by adjusting the housing or mounting brackets as needed.

Step 5: Final adjustments and calibration. If your projector supports keystone correction or image alignment, perform basic adjustments to achieve a perfectly rectangular image. Ensure the viewing area remains unobstructed when the screen is lowered, and verify that the remote range is sufficient for comfortable operation from seating positions.

Step 6: Final safety and usage tips. Keep the projection surface clean and free of fingerprints; avoid touching the fabric during routine handling. Periodically inspect the housing and remote for any signs of wear. Store the IR remote in a convenient, accessible location for guests or family members who may use the system.

Note: The above steps provide a general guideline for installing a ceiling-recessed, motorized projection screen of this type. If you are not familiar with electrical work or ceiling carpentry, hire a licensed professional installer to ensure safety and optimal performance.
