4.2 Soundbar Mount Installation
The soundbar mount is designed to integrate seamlessly with your TV mount, allowing the soundbar to move with the TV for optimal audio experience.
- Attach Soundbar Brackets to TV: Secure the soundbar mounting brackets to the back of your TV, typically using the same VESA holes as the TV brackets or dedicated attachment points.
- Secure Soundbar: Place your soundbar onto the attached brackets and secure it using the provided hardware.
- Adjust Height: Use the tool-free knobs on the soundbar brackets to adjust the height and position of the soundbar relative to the TV. This allows for a snug fit or to create a desired gap. The brackets can rotate 360° and extend/retract for precise positioning.

5. Operating and Adjustments
Your Perlegear full motion TV mount offers various adjustments to optimize your viewing experience.
- Extension and Retraction: The articulating arm allows the TV to extend up to 40 inches (101.6 cm) from the wall for closer viewing or retract to a slim 3.55 inches (9 cm) to save space. This feature is particularly useful for corner installations or when clearing obstructions.
- Swivel: The mount provides a ±90° swivel range, enabling you to angle your TV towards different viewing areas within a room.
- Tilt: Adjust the TV tilt from +5° to -12° to reduce glare from lights or windows and achieve a comfortable viewing angle.
- Leveling: A post-installation leveling adjustment of ±3° ensures your TV remains perfectly horizontal, even if the wall plate was not installed perfectly level.

6. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Loose fasteners can compromise stability.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these may damage the finish or components.
- Movement: If the articulating arm or swivel joints become stiff, ensure no cables are snagged. Avoid applying excessive force. Consult Perlegear customer support for guidance on lubrication if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
- TV is not level after installation: Use the post-installation leveling feature (±3°) to adjust the TV horizontally. Refer to the detailed installation guide for specific instructions on how to perform this adjustment.
- Mount feels loose or unstable: Immediately re-check all fasteners securing the wall plate to the wall and the TV brackets to the TV. Ensure appropriate anchors were used for your wall type and that all screws are tightened securely. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacities.
- Difficulty moving the articulating arm or swiveling the TV: Check for any cables that might be snagged or obstructing movement. Ensure the mount is not overloaded. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Soundbar is not positioned correctly: Utilize the tool-free knobs on the soundbar brackets to adjust its height and rotation for optimal placement relative to the TV.
