Wall-hanging bracket

TY-WK32LR2W

Please contact your nearest Panasonic dealer to purchase the recommended wall-hanging bracket. For additional details, please refer to the wall-hanging bracket installation manual.

Holes for wall-hanging bracket installation

Please note the holes for TX-32LX800A are offcentred to the left by 50 mm, as shown on the diagram.

WARNING!

Failure to use a Panasonic bracket or choosing to mount the unit yourself will be done at the risk of the consumer.

Any damage resulting from not having a professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty.

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up. Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury and product damage.

Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights) which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
