codes and regulations vary and change.)Preparing for Your Installation In planning your flat-panel
television install, there are some questions you'll need to ask yourself first. Once these are answered,
you're ready to begin your project: Seating area
Is the system designed around a "sweet spot" or for the same sound and picture everywhere? There
are different products for different designs.
Furniture
You will need room for your equipment — most home theater components require a space
13-15 inches wide by 10-13 inches deep to fit properly.
What kind of seating do you want? Is the room primarily a home theater entertainment area, or
will music be part of what it's used for as well?
Aesthetics
Make sure the equipment you choose doesn't overwhelm the room. Do you have room for a
projection screen, or will you need to find something a little more space effective?
Wire access
Have you planned how you will run wires to your LCD TV locations? Will you have all of your
equipment next to the TV, or will it be hidden in another room or area?
Do you have enough wire to complete the project? Too much wire is better than not enough.
Mounting
Does your TV require a proprietary mounting device? Some manufacturers require specific
mounts for their TVs.
What is the size and weight of your TV? All brackets have weight and size restrictions. It is
necessary to make sure your TV will fit within the limitations of the mount.
Are you going to fit the mount into a tight space or cabinetry? It may be impossible to use some
brackets if the space does not allow the proper leverage.
Will you need to tilt or move the TV from time to time? There are mounts available that will
adjust to the seating arrangement in the room.
Will the TV be positioned at an angle? Special mounts and techniques may be required to keep
your TV mounted at or into an angle.
What will the TV be mounted to? It is necessary to have proper support for your TV. In most cases,
there will be wood, metal or mortar to mount the bracket to.
TV Breakdown - See our TV Selection »LCD TVs: 32" and smaller This type of TV is clean looking
and lightweight. They are usually easier to mount and require smaller brackets. LCD TVs: 32" and
larger This type of TV is a larger version of their smaller counterparts. They are usually more expensive
in larger sizes than other technologies. Most will work with the same style bracket as plasma TVs.
