3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure and correct installation of your Mount-It! Soundbar TV Mount.

3.1 Preparation

1. If your TV is currently mounted, carefully remove it from its wall mount and place it face down on a clean, soft, and stable surface to prevent damage.
2. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. These are typically square or rectangular patterns.
3. Select the appropriate screws and spacers from the provided hardware that fit your TV's VESA holes.

3.2 Assembling the Mount

4. Attach the two vertical mounting arms to the back of your TV using the selected screws and spacers. Ensure they are securely fastened but allow for slight adjustment if needed.
5. Measure the distance between the mounting holes on your soundbar.
6. Attach the L-shaped soundbar support brackets to the vertical mounting arms. Align the L-brackets to match the measured width of your soundbar's mounting holes.

3.3 Attaching the Soundbar

7. Carefully place your soundbar onto the L-shaped support brackets.
8. Secure the soundbar to the L-brackets using the provided soundbar attachment hardware.
9. Adjust the depth of the soundbar by sliding the L-brackets along the vertical arms until the desired position is achieved (above or below the TV, and at the preferred distance from the screen).
10. Once the soundbar is in the desired position, tighten all screws to firmly secure the entire assembly.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Mount-It! Soundbar TV Mount operates passively, enhancing your audio-visual experience.

• Synchronized Movement: If your TV is on an articulating or full-motion mount, the soundbar will move with the TV, ensuring the sound is always directed towards your viewing position.
• Optimal Sound Placement: Position the soundbar either above or below the TV to best suit your room acoustics and personal preference.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your soundbar mount:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 33 lbs (15 kg) for the soundbar.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during or after installation, refer to the following common solutions:

• Mount is not stable: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify that the correct size screws and spacers were used for your TV's VESA holes.
• Soundbar does not fit: Check that the L-shaped brackets are adjusted to the correct width for your soundbar's mounting points. The mount is designed to be highly adjustable.
• Interference with TV cables: Ensure cables are routed neatly and are not pinched by the mount or soundbar. Use cable ties if necessary.
• Soundbar is too far/close to the TV: Adjust the depth of the L-brackets along the vertical arms to achieve the desired distance.
