Installation instructions
STEP 1- Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an
irregular or obstructed back
1
Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from
damages and scratches.
2
If your TV has a ta ble-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your
TV for instructions.
3
Temporarily lay the TV brackets (B and C) on the back of your TV.
4
Align the screw holes in the TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
5
Identify which type of back your TV may have:
• Flat back: The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and do not block any jacks. You do not need
spacers when assembling the wall mount.
• Obstructed back: The brackets block one or more of the jacks on the back of your TV. You will need
spacers when assembling the wall mount.
5
• Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between a bracket and some part of the back of your TV. You
will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.
6
Remove the TV brackets.

STEP 2 - Select screws, washers, and spacers
1
Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). A limited number of TVs come with
mounting hardware included. (If there are screws that came with the TV, they are almost always in the
holes on the back of the TV.) If you don't know the correct length of the mounting screws your TV
requires, test various sizes by hand threading the screws.
Select one of the following types of screws:
Flat back Obstructed back
M4 × 12 mm screws (E) M4 × 35 mm screws (F)
M6 × 12 mm screws (J) M6 × 35 mm screws (L)
M6 × 20 mm screws (K) M8 × 35 mm screws (N)
M8 × 16 mm screws (M)
Select from the following washers:
M4 washer (G)M6/M8 washer(H)
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, use the universal spacers (I).
CAUTION:
adequate threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and
contact customer service. Use the shortest screw and spacer combination to accommodate your TV.
Using hardware that is too long may damage your TV. However, using a screw that is too short may
cause your TV to fall from the mount.
Note: If you plan to use a 5° tilt with a larger TV (42”+), we suggest using spacers with the mounting
brackets so that the bottom of the TV does not touch the wall.
2
Remove the screws.
3
For a flat back TV, go to “STEP 3 - Option 1: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs with a flat back“ on
page 7.
-ORFor an irregular or obstructed back, go to “STEP 3 - Option 2: Attaching the mounting hardware to TVs
with irregular or obstructed backs” on page 9.

Note: If you plan to use a 5° tilt with a larger TV (42”+), we suggest using spacers with the mounting
brackets so that the bottom of the TV does not touch the wall.
1
Align the left and right TV brackets (B and C) with the screw holes on the back of the TV. Make sure that
the brackets are level.
2
Install washers (G or H), and screws (E, J, K, or M) into the holes in the back of the TV.
3
Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets. Do not over tighten.

Use these holes for

Special instructions for VESA 100 x 100 and
VESA 100 x 200 configurations
These special instructions apply it you need to install the brackets on a small TV with the VESA 100 x 100 or
VESA 100 x 200 configurations.
Due to the way the TV mounting brackets (B and C) are made, the upper screw hole that must be used for
this installation is located behind the tilt mechanism. In addition, you must use the second hole from the
top (below the first slot) for the lower mounting screw.
1
Install the screws in the lower holes on the back of your TV. Use the second round screw hole below the
slot on each bracket.
2
Pull out the tilt mechanism from one of the brackets and install the screw in the upper hole in the back of
your TV.
3
Pull out the tilt mechanism from the other bracket and install the screw in the upper hole in the back of
your TV.
4
Tighten all four screws until snug. Do not over-tighten.

1
Align the left and right TV brackets (B and C) with the screw holes on the back of the TV. Make sure that
the brackets are level.
2
Place spacers (I) behind the TV brackets. If you are using M4 washers (G), place them between the
spacers and TV brackets and over the holes in the T V brackets. If you are using M6/M8 washers (H), place
them over the holes in the TV brackets. Insert screws (F, L, or N) through the washers, TV brackets, and
spacers.

Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV brackets. Do not over tighten.

STEP 5 - Determine wall-mount location
Notes:
• For more detailed information on determining where to drill your holes, visit our online height-finder
at: http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/index.php/heightfinder
• Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen. Normally, this is
40 to 60 inches from the ground.
The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (A). Before you drill holes in the wall:
1
Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle (half of the height of the TV). This is
measurement a.
2
Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of the TV to be placed on the wall.
Keep in mind that the bottom of the TV should be placed above any furniture (such as entertainment
centers or TV stands). The TV should also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray
player or cable box). This measurement is b.
3
Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate to be on the
wall.
4
Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

STEP 6 - Option 1: Installing on a wood stud wall
Note: Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
1
Locate the studs. Verify the centers of the studs with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2
Align the wall plate (A) at the height you de termined in the previous step, make sure th at it is level, th en
use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4) on the stud centers. Remove the wall plate (A).
3
Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 7/32 in. (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4
Align the wall plate (A) with the pilot holes, insert the lag bolts (P) through the lag bolt washers (O),
then through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall
plate.
CAUTION
: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (P).

use a pencil to mark the lag bolt hole locations (4). Remove the wall plate (A).
2
Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3 in. (75 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
3
Insert the concrete wall anchors* into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure the anchors are
flush with the concrete surface.
4
Align the wall plate (A) with the anchors, insert the lag bolts (P) through the lag bolt washers (O), then
through the holes in the wall plate. Tighten the lag bolts only until they are firm against the wall plate.
