B. Center the brackets [02] on the TV leaving a 1/2” clearance
from the bottom of the TV to the bottom of the quick release
latch. NOTE: There are two screws on the side of the quick
release latch that can be removed to adjust it’s length. Insert
screws [06, 07, 08, or 09] and washers [15, 16, 17, or 18 & 21] to
attach the top portion of the bracket to the TV.
C. Raise the bracket hinge to reveal two elongated holes that can
be used to connect the bottom portion of the bracket. Insert the
screws [06, 07, 08, or 09] and washers [15,16, 17, or 18 & 21]

[06, 07, 08, 09]

[15, 16, 17, 18]

[21]

anywhere along these two holes but refrain from using the lower
half portion of the top elongated hole as it interferes with the tilt
mechanism.
D. Fully tighten the screws.

C

E. Measure the distance from the small hole that lies to the left of
the bracket hook to the bottom of the TV. Be sure to account for
any curvature the bottom of the TV may have. This length cannot
exceed 14.5" and will be used to adjust the Soundbar bracket
length for an appropriate t.

A. When assembling the Soundbar bracket, the length from the
top of the square hole on the top bracket [28] to the indicated

B

[27]

[28]

[27]

lower mid-section on the curved bracket [27] should be adjusted
to equal the length measured in step 2E. The images on the right

C

are an example of a possible assembly setup.

[29]

B. Attach the top bracket [28] to the back of the curved bracket
[27] by inserting the short bolt [29] into any of the holes in the top
bracket. The higher the hole, the shorter the length of the overall
bracket, and vice versa. Make sure the hooks of the top bracket

[29]

A

D

[31]

[28] face away from the curved bracket [27] and point up. DO
NOT fully tighten the bolt.

[27]

C. The bracket length can be further adjusted by sliding the
brackets while the bolt is attached. Once the desired location is
obtained, fully tighten the bolt.
D. Attach the bottom bracket [31] to the back of the curved

E

[32]

bracket [27] by inserting the short bolt [29]. The top tip of the
bottom bracket [31] should always be placed directly beneath the
top bracket [28] unless the middle divider prevents this. Make
sure the hooks of the bottom bracket [31] face away from the
curved bracket [9] and point up. DO NOT fully tighten the bolt.
E. The long bolt [32] is used to stabilize the Soundbar and depending on your conguration can be screwed into any hole of the
top bracket [28] and may or may not go through the curved bracket [27] but it MUST make contact with the wall plate [1] behind.
DO NOT fully tighten the bolt yet.
F. Repeat the above steps with the other bracket.

wall plate [01]. Position the Soundbar to the desired
location on the wall plate.
B. Slide the bottom bracket hooks [31] up until they are
anchored on the bottom rail of the wall plate.
C. Hold the hooks rmly in place while you tighten them
with the wrench [30].

D. Tighten all of the bolts. Do not over tighten.
E. Remove the Soundbar by unscrewing the wing screws

[33]. We had you attach it to set the width of the brackets.
You will reattach it later, after the TV has been mounted.

CONNECT CABLES TO TV

A. Connect one end of the Soundbar RCA
Stereo cable to the AV1 Audio L/R jacks on the
TV. Do not connect the other end of the audio
cable to the Soundbar yet. You will do that
after the TV is mounted on the wall.
B. Connect the power cable to the back of the
TV. Do not connect the power cable to the wall
outlet yet. You will do that after the TV is
mounted on the wall.
C. See the documentation that came with the
TV to connect the cables needed for any
device (i.e. DVD player, cable box, etc.) you
want to connect to the TV. Do not connect the
other end of the cables to the devices yet. You
will do that after the TV is mounted on the wall.

[28]

[31]

TIP: Create and attach labels to
the cables, identifying the cables
to make it easier to later connect
the cables to the devices.
