America Msr8 8 Inch Ceiling Speakers

After I fainted from sticker shock at the pricing of the official Sanyo PLV-Z3 projector ceiling mount ($200), I found a much for less solution. For $36.95 I could buy a Metalcraft all metal adaptable ceiling mount off ebay.

Mounting a projector to my ceiling was more comfortable than I thought. Here’s how I did it.

Tools you’ll need:

* Philips Hand Screw Driver

* Circular Level

* EZ Anchor Stud Solvers

* Tape Measure

* Step Ladder

Size up the mounting hardware: The Metalcraft mount’s ceiling plate is big measuring five by five inches square with six pre-drilled holes for ceiling screws. A post descends to the projector mount plate.

How I measured my room for optimal mount placement: Bisecting the width of the room, taking into account the airduct, and measuring eleven and a half feet from the front projector screen’s surface plus the half the length of the mounting plate, I placed the plate on the ceiling and marked each screw hole.

Anchored to ceiling: Wear safety goggles to refrain from getting ceiling board dust in your eyes. I got rid of the plate and drove the metal EZ Anchor Stud Solver anchors until they were flush with the ceiling. The EZ Anchors are outstanding because you never have to drill a pilot hole for the self-tapping anchors. I substituted the plate over the anchors and drove each #8 screw into it is anchor. You may need an extra hand to hold the plate in place while you tighten the basi two to four screws.

Attach the projector plate before attaching to ceiling plate: Since the mount assemblage breaks into two parts, one attaching to the ceiling with a post that screws into the adjustment plate for the projector, you may screw and tighten the hex screws and plastic bushings to the projector body.

Secure the projector plate to the ceiling mount: The Metalcraft ceiling mount’s post accepts a adaptable knob screw. You will need somebody to help you get the screw started while they lift up the projector. With the screw tight you may rotate the projector from left to right on the ceiling post.

Fine-tuning: The Metalcraft mount allows yaw, pitch and rotation. With the hand tightening of knobs on the projector mount plate you may canter your projector utterly on your projection screen. With the help of a circular bubble level you may level the projector from front to back and left to right using the matching thumb knobs. With projector level you may then adjust your lense up and down and to the side for a perfective screen fill with no keystone distortion correction.

Caveat: The Metalcraft mount is wobbly because of the thinness of the metal used on the metal band that holds the projector mount to the ceiling mount post. When you need to modify interconnects or adjust manual focus and zoom the projector rocks more or less as the metal gives. This does not cause the projector to fall out of register, though. Hey–$36.95–what do you expect?

The Metalcraft Mounting System for the Sanyo PLV-Z3 LCD projector (and numerous other projector brands and models) is a outstanding bargain and very reliable. Highly recommended.
