NOTE: CAREFULLY FOLLOW INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS FOR
THE THIRD PARTY DISPLAY WALL MOUNT.
Before any installation carefully plan where wiring will pass
through walls. Perform an obstruction survey using a stud finder
to be certain there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts,
pocket doors or air returns in the wall cavity. If you are unsure
about obstructions, drill a small hole near where the Soundbar
wire terminals will be located and insert a coat hanger wire
into the hole to feel around for possible obstructions.
Run three sets of speaker wires: Left channel, Center channel,
Right channel as well as the necessary video cable from the
amplifier to the display location. Whenever possible leave extra
wire to make it easy to connect the wire to the Soundbar spring
terminals prior to hanging the display. Extra wire can then be
pushed back into the wall.
NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING
SPEAKER AND ELECTRICAL WIRES THROUGH WALLS.

Display Spacers
Included with your Soundbar are two 8mm thick wood display
spacers. The spacers allow the front surface of the display to be
in line with the flat surface on the top edge of the Soundbar.
When using the spacers carefully place the display on top of
the spacers. This will require two people. Be careful not to
scratch the display. Spacers do not go under the Soundbar.
Mounting Option 2 - Recessed Soundbar Connector
The recessed Soundbar connector will align with displays from
1 7/32” (31.74mm) to 2 3/32” (53mm) deep displays.
Various depths can be accomplished by using C or D screws
accompanied by I washers and G nuts. Use the A screws to
attached the connector to the display attachment rails.
