[wingnutta]

Bought a screen of fleabay... does what i need it too for now, however i cannot figure out where the screws are for adjusting the lower/upper limits? Its a Platinum Home Cinema screen, tab tensioned (hmmmmm ish )... and the only screws i can see anywhere that remotely look like they could be them are the ones in the pic... can anyone help please - are they them?????

Well i found them but boy was it not easy!!!.. On the left there is a bracket, which once slid out of the way revealed the screws!.. But you have to kind of look up from behind the screen??? I will post pictures in a min if it helps you Lowe as once i found it i had it at the height within 5 minutes....Thanks again lucid - your diagram helped as i knew then where to and not to look... ps yes they were self tappers!!

OK Lowe...Mine on the left looks like this...

Now if you look under you might see a bracket like this on the left (has the holes in it)

If you move this out of the way (just slide it - it should move but be under tension).. then pull down the screen say 2ft... then look up with a torch from behind the screen, you should JUST be able to see a yellow screw like below..

Other screw was not visible from where i was standing (but as thats the upper limit screw you should not need that really?)

Now you have to FULLY extend the screen until it stops.. THEN you can put a screwdiver in and turn that yellow screw clockwise... I had quite far to go so did loads of turns.... Then you raise the screen back up and then down again till it stops... it should now be less than it was...

I carried on till i got it close... but now i can fine tune it on my own without the wifes help to hold it!

If you go to far up, when you turn the screw the other way, the screen should drop as you turn it...

Hope that helps...

Wow...Old thread resurrected! Just for info - the original screen is still going strong after all these years with zero issues (bar setting the height etc..) No ripples as yet in the screen and all works fine. Still very happy with the purchase.
