Frequently Asked Questions

Julycode creates hidden living-room cinema systems that integrate motorized furniture, ultra-short-throw projectors and ALR screens.

When the system is not in use, the equipment remains visually discreet. When activated, the projector platform and screen move into position to create a large-screen cinema experience.

A complete configuration can include:

• Smart motorized laser TV cabinet
• Motorized UST ALR floor-rising screen
• Optional ultra-short-throw projector

Depending on the product, you may purchase Cabinet Only, Screen Only, Cabinet + Screen, or Cabinet + Screen + Projector.

Always check the exact contents shown on the product page.

Julycode is designed for spaces where you want a large-screen viewing experience without permanently displaying the equipment.

The projector can be integrated into the furniture and the floor-rising screen can retract after use, reducing the need for a ceiling-mounted projector or permanent oversized screen.

For many living rooms, yes. A properly matched UST projector and ALR screen can provide a 100-inch, 120-inch or larger image without a permanently mounted television.

The best configuration depends on room lighting, screen size and viewing habits.

No. Julycode systems are designed for normal living rooms, family rooms, offices, basements and other multi-purpose spaces.

Yes, when the projector and screen are properly matched.

A UST-specific ALR screen helps maintain contrast under normal ambient lighting. Strong direct sunlight on the screen can still reduce picture quality.

A matched configuration reduces common compatibility problems, including incorrect throw distance, cabinet depth, projector platform travel and screen type.

If you already own compatible equipment, you do not necessarily need to replace it.

• Already own a confirmed projector and screen → Cabinet Only
• Already own a confirmed projector → Cabinet + ALR Screen
• Starting from zero → Complete System

We recommend confirming compatibility before ordering.

Send us the exact projector brand and model before ordering.

We can review projector dimensions, lens position, throw ratio, ventilation clearance and required platform travel before confirming whether a cabinet is suitable.

It is more than a conventional TV stand.

Depending on the model, the cabinet can conceal the projector, manage cables, provide ventilation and use a motorized drawer or platform to move the projector into its preset projection position.

Fully enclosed designs prioritize concealment and dust protection.

Compact drawer systems can reduce the furniture footprint and make projector access easier.

Glass-door models provide a different visual treatment and may allow infrared remote signals to pass through, depending on the configuration.

Sometimes, but conventional TV cabinets are usually not designed around UST projector height, depth, ventilation and throw-distance requirements.

Ultra-short-throw projectors are sensitive to very small changes in position relative to the screen.

Many UST projector models from brands such as Hisense, AWOL Vision, Samsung, Formovie, Epson, XGIMI and others may be compatible.

Compatibility must be checked by exact model, not by brand name alone.

We recommend confirming:

• Screen size
• Projector dimensions
• Projector throw requirements
• Available wall width
• Required furniture depth

Cabinet size should not be selected based only on screen diagonal.

Yes, when the selected cabinet and screen are designed as a compatible configuration.

Selected systems can coordinate the projector platform and screen through a linkage or control system.

It depends on the model.

Some products arrive largely assembled, while larger cabinets may arrive in multiple cartons and require positioning or light assembly.

Check the exact product page before ordering.

Selected models may use perforated or sound-transmitting cabinet structures.

Check the specifications of the exact cabinet before planning speaker placement.

The mechanism is designed for controlled, relatively quiet movement.

If the system becomes unusually loud, jerky or stops unexpectedly, stop repeated operation and send our support team a short video.

Selected models support customization.

Send us your wall dimensions, preferred finish, projector model and screen size.

Custom pricing, production requirements and lead time must be confirmed before production.

Julycode projector cabinets are primarily designed for ultra-short-throw projectors, often referred to as laser TVs.

Standard long-throw or ceiling-mounted projectors use different projection geometry and normally require a different installation.

UST projectors sit very close to the screen and are the type normally used with Julycode motorized projector cabinets.

Short-throw projectors still require more distance from the wall. Long-throw projectors are normally positioned much farther away or mounted to a ceiling.

Yes. Selected complete systems can include a projector, or you may use a projector you already own after compatibility has been confirmed.

Available projector models can change over time.

Common UST options include Hisense, AWOL Vision, Samsung, Formovie, Epson, XGIMI and other compatible models.

We still need the exact model to verify projector dimensions, lens position, throw ratio and ventilation clearance.

Yes, if the model is compatible with the selected cabinet and screen.

Send the exact model before ordering so we can check body dimensions, throw requirements, ventilation and cable routing.

For a typical living room, a UST-specific ALR screen is recommended.

Higher projector brightness helps, but it does not replace the optical benefit of a screen designed for UST projection under ambient light.

The required brightness depends on room lighting, screen size and viewing conditions.

As a general reference, darker rooms can use lower brightness, while brighter living rooms and larger screens benefit from higher output.

Lumens alone do not determine picture quality. Contrast, laser type and screen selection also matter.

In compatible systems, the projector sits on the motorized platform inside the cabinet with the lens facing the screen.

The platform moves the projector into the required throw position when the system is activated.

Usually tens of centimeters rather than several meters.

The exact distance depends on the projector's throw ratio and selected screen size.

Compatible cabinets are designed with airflow and equipment access in mind.

Projector intake and exhaust openings must remain unobstructed. Do not add objects that block the ventilation path.

Control methods depend on the exact system.

Selected configurations may use one-touch linkage, HDMI-CEC, 12V trigger, smart control or separate remotes.

Confirm the control method for the exact configuration you are purchasing.

Yes, subject to the projector's available connections and audio features.

HDMI sources may connect directly to the projector or through a compatible AVR.

ARC or eARC support depends on the projector model.

Gaming performance depends primarily on the projector.

If available, use the projector's Game Mode and check the manufacturer's input-lag specification.

That depends on the projector's operating system and supported applications.

If the projector does not include the apps you need, you can use a compatible external HDMI streaming device.

No. 4K, HDR and Dolby Vision are projector and source-device features.

The role of the screen is to help preserve the image the projector produces.

Usually not.

Portable projectors commonly use different throw geometry, lens height and brightness requirements.

Projectors follow the applicable warranty terms of the projector brand.

Julycode cabinet and screen products follow the applicable Julycode warranty terms.

First check the physical projector position and throw distance.

Avoid relying on aggressive digital keystone correction before the projector and cabinet are mechanically aligned.

Level the cabinet, confirm platform depth, then make minor image corrections if required.

Follow the projector manufacturer's official firmware update instructions.

We recommend avoiding unofficial firmware.

For the best living-room performance, yes.

Use a screen specifically designed for UST projection. Generic white screens and long-throw ALR materials use different optical structures.

ALR means Ambient Light Rejecting.

A UST-specific ALR surface is designed to direct projector light toward the viewer while reducing a significant amount of unwanted ambient light from the room.

ALR materials are designed to reduce ambient-light washout.

CLR is commonly used to describe materials focused particularly on rejecting ceiling light.

Matte-white screens distribute light broadly and generally perform best in darker, controlled environments.

Yes, but picture contrast and uniformity can decrease, especially when windows or room lights are present.

For a complete living-room system, we recommend a matched UST ALR screen.

No. A floor-rising screen operates upward from its own housing or integrated cabinet position.

Installation requirements vary by model.

No.

A floor-rising screen is designed to operate from its intended upright position.

Installing it upside down may damage the mechanism or screen surface.

Common Julycode living-room configurations include 100-inch and 120-inch systems, with larger options available for suitable rooms.

Final size should consider wall width, viewing distance, projector capability and cabinet dimensions.

Common causes include:

• Direct sunlight on the screen
• Incorrect screen material
• Insufficient projector brightness
• Incorrect projector position
• Cabinet or screen not level

No.

ALR can significantly improve contrast in a lit room, but it cannot eliminate every reflection, particularly strong direct sunlight or windows facing the screen.

If the projector and source support compatible 3D output, the screen can display the projected image.

The projector and glasses determine the actual 3D system compatibility.

Selected screen models use acoustically transparent or perforated materials.

Check the specification of the exact screen before planning speakers behind the viewing surface.

Some RGB laser projectors may produce a fine shimmering texture on certain screen materials.

Screen choice can influence the effect, although it may not eliminate it completely.

Tell us your projector model before ordering if laser speckle is a concern.

Not always.

Many customers install the system using the supplied instructions, but large cabinets generally require at least two people for safe handling.

Hire a qualified local professional if you are not comfortable with leveling, electrical connections or system alignment.

Installation time varies by system and room.

A typical setup includes unpacking, cabinet and screen positioning, leveling, power and control connections, projector alignment and image fine-tuning.

Many floor-rising configurations do not require a permanently wall-mounted projection screen.

Installation requirements vary by product. Electrical work should be completed by a qualified professional where local regulations require it.

• Confirm door, hallway, stair and elevator dimensions
• Confirm enough wall and furniture space
• Prepare a suitable power source
• Arrange assistance for large-item handling
• Keep your projector model and screen size available
• Do not discard packaging before inspecting the shipment

Selected smart systems support coordinated operation.

The exact method can vary between remote control, dry contact, trigger connection or another control solution.

Confirm the control method for your specific configuration.

Start with physical alignment.

Level the cabinet, confirm the projector's correct throw position and make sure the screen is level.

Use digital geometry correction only after the physical setup is correct.

Stop repeatedly operating the mechanism.

Disconnect power briefly, check the power supply and remote or control connection, then try again.

If the issue remains, send Julycode support a short video.

Do not force the screen or motorized mechanism by hand.

Eligible products can be purchased directly through Julycode.net.
