5.3. Attach Soundbar to Brackets
Depending on your soundbar's design, you can attach it to the brackets using various methods:
- Back Hole Mounting: Use the provided screws and washers to secure the soundbar through its back mounting holes to the brackets.
- Key Hole Mounting: For soundbars with keyhole slots, align them with the bracket's keyhole screws and slide to lock.
- Bottom Hole Mounting (with L-shaped brackets): If your soundbar requires mounting from the bottom, use the included L-shaped brackets. Attach the L-shaped brackets to the main soundbar brackets, then secure your soundbar to the L-shaped brackets.

6. Operating Instructions
The USX MOUNT Soundbar Mount is designed for a set-and-forget installation. Once installed, the primary operation involves adjusting the soundbar's angle or position if your TV mount allows for movement.
- Swivel Adjustment: The extension plates can swivel up to 180 degrees. Loosen the locking mechanism, adjust the angle, and then re-tighten to secure the soundbar in your desired position.
- TV Mount Movement: If your TV is on a full-motion mount, the soundbar will move in conjunction with the TV, maintaining its relative position.
7. Maintenance
The soundbar mount requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and continued performance.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Weight Limit: Do not place additional weight on the soundbar or mount beyond the specified capacity.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during or after installation, refer to the following common solutions:
- Soundbar not fitting: Double-check your soundbar's weight and mounting hole pattern against the specifications. Ensure you are using the correct screws and spacers.
- Mount feels unstable: Verify that all screws are securely tightened, especially those connecting the mount to the TV and the soundbar to the mount. Ensure the TV mount itself is properly installed on the wall.
- Difficulty with swivel adjustment: Loosen the adjustment knobs or bolts slightly before attempting to swivel. Do not force the movement.
