INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT

Installation Precautions

  • Install on a vertical wall only.
  • Do not install in a place with high temperature or humidity.
  • Verify whether the wall is strong enough to support the product's weight. If not, reinforce the wall or choose another installation point.
  • Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
  • Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you want to mount the Soundbar on.
    • Diameter: M5
    • Length: 1 3/8 inches or longer recommended.
  • Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install the Soundbar on the wall.
  • Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

Wallmount Components

  1. Place the Wall Mount Guide against the wall surface.
    • The Wall Mount Guide must be level.
    • If your TV is mounted on the wall, install the Soundbar at least 2 inches (5 cm) below the TV.
      INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT - Step 1
  2. Align the Wall Mount Guide's Center Line with the center of your TV (if you are mounting the Soundbar below your TV), and then fix the Wall Mount Guide to the wall using tape.
    • If you are not mounting below a TV, place the Center Line in the center of the installation area
      INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT - Step 2
  3. Push a pen tip or sharpened pencil tip through the center of the B-TYPE images on each end of the Guide to mark the holes for the supporting screws, and then remove the Wall Mount Guide.
    INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT - Step 3
  4. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in the wall at each marking.
    • If the markings do not correspond to the positions of studs, make sure you insert appropriate anchors or mollies into the holes before you insert the support screws. If you use anchors or mollies, make sure the holes you drill are large enough for the anchors or mollies you use.
  5. Push a screw (not supplied) through each Holder-Screw, and then screw each screw firmly into a support screw hole.
    INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT - Step 4
  6. Use the two Screws (M4 x L12) to attach both Bracket-Wall Mount L and R to the Soundbar's bottom.
    For a proper fit, make sure to align the bumps on the Soundbar to the holes on the brackets.
    • When assembling, make sure the hanger part of the Bracket-Wall Mounts are located behind the rear of the Soundbar.
    • The left and right mounts are different shapes. Make sure to position them correctly.
      INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT - Step 5
    • Install the Soundbar with the attached
      Bracket-Wall Mounts by hanging the Bracket-Wall Mounts on the Holder-Screws on the wall.

Detaching the Soundbar from the Wall

  1. To separate the Soundbar from the wall mount, push it in the direction of arrow, tilt it up slightly, and then pull it away from the wall as shown.
    Detaching the Soundbar from the Wall
    • Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid striking or dropping the unit.
    • Secure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an injury or damage the product.
    • When the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the connecting cables, as this may cause it to fall.
    • For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 2 inches (5 cm) below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the wall.
    • For your safety, if you do not mount the unit on the wall, install it on a secure, flat surface where it is unlikely to fall.
