Notice to Installer
PROPER PROJECTOR PLACEMENT 

The Star Bright CLR® is exclusively for tabletop/bottom mounted ultra-short throw projectors.
See illustrations below for limits and criteria.

IMPROPER PROJECTOR PLACEMENT

Overhead placement or a standard throw projector will make the image very dark on account of the screen’s absorbent layer deflecting light that is not aligned with its reflective angle.
