Installation instructions
STEP 1 - Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back
1 Carefully place your TV face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the
screen from damages and scratches.
2 If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the
documentation that came with your TV for instructions.
3 Temporarily lay the horizontal brackets (
4 Align the screw holes in the brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.
5 Identify which type of back your TV 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.
04) on the back of your TV.
Need help? Call 1-800-620-2790 (U.S. and Canada)

• Obstructed back: The brackets block any of the jacks on the back of your TV.
You need 2.5 mm or 22 mm spacers (
• Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between the brackets and some part
of the back of your TV. You need 2.5 mm or 22 mm spacers (

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 screws came with your TV,
they are almost always in the holes on the back of your 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 the screws that fit:
M6 × 12 mm screws (01) M8 × 25 mm screws (01)
M6 × 35 mm screws (01) M8 × 35 mm screws (01)
M8 × 16 mm screws (01) M8 × 50 mm screws (
Use the M6/M8 washers (02) for all screws.
For an irregular or obstructed TV back, also use the 2.5 mm or 22 mm
spacers (
03).
CAUTION: To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage,
make sure that the screws have 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.

STEP 5 - Determine wall-mount location
Note:
Your TV should be high enough so your eyes are level with the middle of the screen from a seated
position (normally, 40 to 60 inches from the ground).
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
The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (08). Before you drill
holes in the wall:
1 Measure the distance from the bottom of your TV to the middle of the four
mounting screw holes. This is measurement a.
2 Measure the distance from the floor to where you want the bottom of your TV to
be placed on the wall. Keep in mind that the bottom of your TV should be placed
above any furniture (such as entertainment centers or TV stands). Your TV should
also be above items placed on top of the furniture (like a Blu-ray player or cable
box). This is measurement b.
3Add a + b. The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the
wall plate (
