and 2, Fig. 4). Then connect the table stand to the bottom of the

the TV set.

• Mark the places for mounting the bracket. Place the bracket

will be secured. Place the bracket aside.

• Drill holes on the marked locations. Insert a rubber stopper
into each hole (Step 1, Fig. 5).

• Screw the 4 × 35 mm self-driving screws into the rubber
stoppers (Step 2, Fig. 5) so that the soundbar can be ԛxed on
them.

• Attach the bracket to the previously assembled soundbar with
3 × 8 mm screws (Step 3, Fig. 5).

• Fix the soundbar on the screws attached to the wall (Step 4,
Fig. 5), and tighten the screws hard.
