Outdoor Movie System Placement
The general rule for measuring the distance in which you'll want to place you projector for the outdoor movie system is 5 to 6 times of the width of the screen. If you're using a smaller-scale home system that's 15 feet wide, you'll want to set up the projector about 80-90 feet away. If you're using our full-size Elite system which is 40 feet wide, you'll want to clear a path about 200 feet away.Perfecting your Outdoor Movie System Setup
