Outdoor Theatre Has anyone used this product outside for a summer outdoor theatre?

I just recently purchased a 76c, but I have not used it outside yet. That being said, the 76c is 5 times better than my old Proxima projector from 1996 and I used that outside all the time. Used to project it against a white sheet hung on the side of the house. I connected my laptop via s-video. Most dvd players have s-video out as well so you can go that route as well. There is no reason you can't project outside!

No ...so unfortunate...I tried Velcro strips and mosquito netting which worked for a few months...next summer I will mount curtain rods and outdoor sheers.....

Greg K. I have not used it on outdoor applications however for indoors it is a great product. I have used it for many field measures and I cannot complain. I am sorry not able to answer your questions. Regards

We set it up outside for our outdoor movie nights and it works great! Lots of raves from all our friends and neighbors! The speakers are not loud enough though, so we added a nice Klipsch set that is sold for computers. (2 speakers and a sub-woofer)

Yes, it works for movies outdoors. We did it and it was good. BUT it's got to be really dark (only 500 Lumens!) and the speaker is very tinny. There's no plug to connect an amplifier or external speakers.

I have not used it outdoors, but I have used it in a brightly illuminated room with lots of unshaded windows, and it provides a bright, vivid picture -- better than any other I have ever seen. (But, if the sun outside is shining directly on the screen, no projector can overpower that. So there is no absolute answer to your question -- "it depends...") Hope this helps.

I have never used them for outdoor projects. Once dry it takes a lot to get rid of acrylic paint, so my guess is it will last you for a while, but just to be sure you could put a layer of clear outdoor paint on top of it.

Yes, I have used it outdoors. I do NOT think it is in any way water resistant. I used it to throw a "flame" effect (locked on orange looks cool). About 6 to 7 feet away in mostly dark environment. The effect was still pretty strong. Fades substantially at 15 to 20 feet. But still can be seen in dark setting.

this should do just fine out doors. You will need to wait for late evening for it to be dark enough, and I have found ambient light to not effect the over all projection quality too much. So porch lights and landscape lighting shouldn't be a problem. You will likely need a separate sound system, unless you have a quiet group of people watching. I would take precautions to be sure it won't be exposed to rain or pool splashes though, there is a lens adjustor and buttons on top of the projector.

We use it for our outdoor movie nights. It's great! Use rear projection and that helps a lot.

I have no clue.... my use of the product was limited to fabrics. My suggestion would be to contact a Fire Marshall in your area, or to do a small test yourself. A company that produces stage settings for theatrical productions might also be able to answer this. Good luck!

No, we have not even while using in fairly windy conditions as we did this last Saturday night. It's on a block patio just 10 feet from our wood screened porch and is 70' upwind from our woods. Absolutely love this fire pit!

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.
