I'm helping a friend build his HT and he has a Pearl & 2.35 Carada 1.4 gain screen. He is doing poor man's CIH and zooming & shifting between 2.35 & 16:9. We've run into a problem and I'm stumped - was hoping AVS forums can help!
His setup-
Screen size: 109" wide x 46" tall
Throw: just over 12' (12.17' to be exact)
Mount: ceiling, aligned with top of screen
The problem-
When zooming out for 2.35 to maximize width and fill the screen, the image won't quite get large enough. It stops with about 1" on all sides of unused screen area.
According to my math and pages 14 & 15 of the Pearl's owner's manual, the Pearl should be able to project this image size at about 11.25' throw, which is almost a foot less throw than he has. But the zoom is bottoming out at about 107" width.
We checked the "Blanking" menu option and it's set to 0. Display mode is "Normal".
So, I admit I am not an expert, but I tried searching and am trying to understand the specs and it seems like this should be working. Any ideas?
Help is *greatly* appreciated!
Thanks!
