Da-Lite Advantage Series Projection Screen - Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen with Plenum-Rated Case - 208in Screen

The Da-Lite Advantage Series ceiling-recessed electric screen is engineered to disappear into your room while delivering a stunning, cinema-grade image for presentations, classrooms, home theaters, and large venues. Designed with a ceiling trim in place to conceal the rough opening, this screen eliminates the need for additional trim work after installation, delivering a clean, professional look that blends with any interior. The two-stage installation option provides extraordinary flexibility, allowing the screen case to be mounted during rough-in and finished after the ceiling is closed, which simplifies construction timelines and minimizes on-site complexity. Whether you’re outfitting a corporate boardroom, a university lecture hall, or a dedicated home cinema, this screen integrates seamlessly and performs reliably under demanding use. With a substantial 208-inch diagonal, it creates an immersive viewing experience that draws in audiences and keeps attention where it belongs—on the content being presented.

• Ceiling-trim ready design: The Advantage Series is built to conceal the rough opening with finished ceiling trim, delivering a polished, theater-like appearance without the need for extensive trim work after installation.
• Two-stage installation: The screen case can be mounted during rough-in, then finished in a second stage, making installation faster and less disruptive for ongoing construction projects or renovations.
• Plenum-rated housing: The case is designed to meet plenum requirements, enabling safe use in spaces that require plenum-rated components due to HVAC or air management codes.
• Electric operation for convenience: A quiet, reliable motor drives smooth screen retraction and extension, with compatibility for wall switches and optional remote or control-system integration to fit any room layout.
• Large-format viewing: The 208-inch diagonal provides a commanding projection surface for large rooms and auditoriums, delivering an expansive viewing field that supports high-impact presentations and cinematic experiences alike.

How to Install Da-Lite Advantage Series Projection Screen

• Plan your ceiling installation by measuring the rough opening and ensuring there is adequate structural support to securely hold the 208-inch screen housing.
• Prepare the ceiling space by confirming clearances for the plenum-rated case and ensuring any HVAC components or conduit will not interfere with the screen housing or operation.
• Use the two-stage installation method: install the screen case in the ceiling framework during rough-in, then complete the ceiling finishing and trim work in a second stage after walls and ceilings are closed in.
• Connect power to the motorized screen per local electrical codes, and install a wall switch or control device. If integrating with a broader AV system, plan for remote control compatibility or a proper control interface.
• Unroll the screen, verify the alignment of the image with the screen surface, and test the retraction and extension cycles. Make any necessary adjustments to mounting, tension, or casing alignment to ensure smooth operation and optimal image geometry.
