Site Preparation
Because every home theater installation is unique, it is impossible to provide detailed,
step-by-step instructions that are applicable to every situation. Instead, this manual
provides general guidelines for site construction and product installation. Review this
information carefully and adapt it as needed to your installation requirements.
The instructions in this section describe how to prepare a dedicated home theater for a
VideoWall/CineWall installation. Throughout these instructions, the following “typical”
conditions are assumed:
• Ceiling Height: 8 feet
• Theater Width: 12 feet, minimum
• Stud spacing: 24 inches
• Screen position:
• VideoWall VW-100HD – Centered vertically between floor and ceiling (bottom edge
of screen approximately 24 inches from floor)
• CineWall CW-95HD – Bottom edge of screen approximately 36 inches from floor
• Centered horizontally between two studs 96 inches apart
• Supported from below by either three (if 24 inches apart) or five (if 16 inches apart)
studs, cut down 1.5 in. and with a 2x6 x 88.75 in. stud nailed to the tops
Construct a dedicated, framed wall: Shown below is a typical wall frame, viewed from
the rear. It is 12 feet wide, with the studs spaced 24 inches apart. The shaded area
represents the opening you will need to create for the VideoWall/CineWall.
For maintenance purposes, provide some means of accessing the rear of the
VideoWall/CineWall when installed. If the theater is greater than 12 feet wide, the gap
between the side walls and the dedicated wall edges may be sufficient. Otherwise, you will
need to create a second opening at one end of the dedicated wall for maintenance
access.
