We recommend installing the Floating Stand a short distance away from the wall.

When installing the TV on the Floating Stand, make sure that the woofer speaker is securely connected to the TV.

If the woofer speaker is not connected securely, an error message will appear on the TV screen when turned on.

If an error message appears on the TV screen, the connector is not connected properly. Check that the connector is not damaged, and then reconnect the woofer speaker to the TV.
