Installation Guide
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your Rocketfish Universal Soundbar Mounting System. Ensure your TV is securely mounted to the wall before proceeding.
1. Attach Mounting Arms to TV
The soundbar mounting system attaches to the VESA mounting holes on the back of your wall-mounted TV. Identify the appropriate VESA mounting pattern on your TV (e.g., 75x75mm, 600x600mm). Use the provided screws, washers, and spacers to secure the main horizontal bar of the soundbar mount to the lower VESA holes on your TV's wall mount brackets. Ensure the bar is level and securely fastened.

2. Position Soundbar Brackets
Attach the vertical soundbar support arms to the main horizontal bar. These arms are designed to be adjustable. Loosen the adjustment screws to slide the arms horizontally to match the width of your soundbar. The arms also allow for vertical adjustment to position the soundbar at your desired height below or above the TV.

3. Secure Soundbar
Once the vertical arms are correctly positioned, attach your soundbar to the bottom brackets of these arms. Use the appropriate screws and washers provided to secure the soundbar. Ensure the soundbar is centered and stable. The adjustable design allows for moving the soundbar vertically and horizontally, as well as adjusting its distance from the TV for a clean, integrated look.

Operating and Adjusting
After installation, you can fine-tune the position of your soundbar. The system allows for:
- Vertical Adjustment: Loosen the screws on the vertical arms to slide the soundbar up or down relative to the TV. Retighten securely once the desired height is achieved.
- Horizontal Adjustment: The soundbar can be shifted left or right along the horizontal bar to ensure it is perfectly centered with your TV.
- Depth Adjustment: Some models allow for adjusting the soundbar's distance from the TV to accommodate different soundbar depths and TV profiles.
Always ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened securely after making any adjustments to prevent movement or instability.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your soundbar mounting system:
- Periodically check all mounting screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Loose connections can lead to instability.
- Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Ensure no cables are pinched or stressed by the mount or soundbar.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after installation, consider the following:
- Soundbar is not level: Re-check the horizontal bar's levelness and adjust the vertical arms as needed. Ensure all fasteners are tight.
- Mount feels unstable: Verify that the mount is correctly attached to the TV's VESA holes and that all screws are fully tightened. Ensure the TV's wall mount itself is securely installed.
- Soundbar does not fit: Confirm your soundbar's weight and dimensions are within the system's specifications (up to 20 lbs). Ensure the vertical arms are adjusted to the correct width.
- Cables are difficult to manage: Route cables carefully behind the TV and through any available cable management features on your TV or wall mount.
