TO THE OWNER  
Congratulations on your purchase of the finest optical viewing screen  
available anywhere in the world!  
To create Rigid Rear Projection Screens, Stewart Filmscreen fuses  
advanced optical coatings to various glass and plastic substrates. This  
provides optimized image fidelity for any viewing environment.  
Please take a moment to review this manual; it will help ensure you many  
years of trouble-free service from your new Stewart Filmscreen product.  
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION  
Before proceeding with the installation of this screen, take  
time to thoroughly read and understand these installation  
and operation instructions.  
Preparation  
Specifications regarding the individual screen dimensions, weight, and  
frame type are provided by the factory when the unit is ordered. Before  
beginning the installation:  
Check the specifications for the frame type. Ensure that the  
aperture is the right size. (Refer to the section on frame types,  
starting on page 4.)  
Ensure that the area is prepared. In general, the screen should  
be installed after electricians, painters, carpet-layers, and other  
craftspeople have completed their work. This minimizes the risk  
of damage to the optical surface.  
Especially with large screens, ensure there is adequate access to  
the installation area (e.g., door heights, width of hallways,  
elevator capacity).  
Check the size and weight of the screen to be installed so that  
you can plan for the number of people and equipment required  
for the installation.  
You will need:  
Clean gloves for handling the screen  
Suction cups of the type typically used by glass and window  
installers  
A level  
Appropriate fasteners (for installations that require them)  
Appropriate tools for any fasteners used  
Sufficient ladders, if required, for the personnel supporting the  
screen during the installation.  
A fork lift for very large or heavy screens

INSTALLATION  
Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen  
Corporation cannot be liable for substandard or faulty installations.  
General notes  
The screen and frame are typically shipped as one complete unit. In some  
instances, knocked-down, pre-drilled frame components and hardware are  
shipped ready for assembly.  
In some cases, no frame is supplied, as the screen is built in as part of the  
installation.  
Coated side  
One side of the screen has a special optical coating. Whenever possible,  
the screen should be installed with the coated side toward the audience.  
The picture is more pleasing because there is no imaging reflection of  
lighted objects in the audience. Exceptions are:  
Where the screen environment is uncontrolled and potential  
abuse of the coating is a concern.  
Screen marking pens are used during projection.  
Unpacking and handling  
Keep the screen protected until the environment is clean and  
there is no danger of damage to the optical coating.  
Open the crate as indicated, as this will expose the non-coated  
side of the screen.  
If the screen is already attached to the frame, do not lift the  
screen by the upper frame member, as the frame may pull off the  
screen, damaging the coating.  
Use suction cups to remove and install the screen. Use the  
suction cups only on the non-coated side of the screen.  
Keep hands and tools off the optical coating. Use cotton gloves  
when installing the screen.  
Installing the screen in the aperture  
In general, the installation of a rigid rear projection screen is similar to the  
process used when installing a window in a house. Use care when  
handling the screen, especially the coated side, as mentioned above.  
Once the screen is in place, make sure that it is level and plumb. Use  
shims as needed.

Wedge frame  
The wedge frame is used in videowalls, simulators, and command and  
control centers. The wedge profile tapers down on the image side to a knife  
edge where it contacts the screen.  
Multiple wedge frames can be installed in a containment frame.

eliminating the need for a finish trim. The Quick-Stall frame covers  
unfinished molding with a built-in 5/8" (1.6 cm) trim.

SCREEN CARE AND CLEANING  
With reasonable care, you may expect many years of trouble-free use of  
your Stewart projection screen.  
We encourage you to keep your screen clean. Avoid getting any foreign  
material on the screen, as cleaning may prove very difficult. It may not be  
possible to remove scratches, paint, ink, etc.  
General maintenance  
The uncoated side of the screen requires only the care normally given to  
glass or acrylic surfaces.  
Pay special attention to these instructions when cleaning the surface with  
the optical coating.  
Use a draftsman-style brush to lightly whisk away any loose dirt  
or dust particles. (This type of brush is usually available at office  
supply stores.) Stewart Filmscreen has an optional screen  
cleaning kit that contains the proper type of brush. Contact your  
dealer if you would like to obtain this cleaning kit.  
For tougher spots, use a solution of mild detergent and water.  
Rub lightly using a sponge or clean cotton cloth. Do not use  
aggressive or excessive pressure as the optical characteristics  
could be degraded. Blot with a damp sponge to absorb excess  
water. Any residual water marks or streaks will evaporate in a  
few minutes.  
Do not use any other cleaning materials on the screen, especially  
chemicals, solvents, and abrasive cleansers. Contact the factory if you have  
questions about removing difficult spots.  
Replacement parts and service  
No user-serviceable parts are contained within the unit. Contact your dealer  
or the factory if you require part replacement or service.
