MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
ADVANCED: WALL-MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- To avoid risk of electric shock and/or damage to your home, you must be familiar with the layout of the electrical wiring in the wall of your home.
- If you are not familiar with the layout of your home’s electrical wiring, or if you are uncomfortable with power tools, DO NOT attempt to mount the soundbar yourself. Consult a professional home theater installer instead.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Wall-mounting kit (included)
- Pencil with eraser
- Stud finder
- Power drill
- Tape measure,
- Screwdriver (Phillips-head)
- Level
- Hammer
PREPARATION
Ideally, at least one of the mounting screws should be driven directly into a wall stud. This will provide secure and stable support.If one or both of the screws cannot be driven directly into a stud, you will need to use the drywall anchor(s) included in the mounting kit.
- Use a stud finder to locate the studs in your wall. Mark their locations lightly using a pencil.
- Mark the position of the mounting screws on the wall using a pencil. Leave 4 to 6 inches of space between the top of the soundbar and the bottom of your TV.
INSTALLATION - Drill pilot holes using an electric drill. Remember that holes for drywall anchors will require a larger bore. If drilling into studs only, skip to Step 5.
- Insert the drywall anchor(s) into the hole(s) using a hammer.
- Drive the mounting screws almost all the way into the drywall anchor(s) or pilot holes, leaving about 1/3-inch exposed.
- Carefully hang the soundbar onto the exposed portions of the mounting screws. Ensure that they are firm and stable.
