and other obstructions?
® If mounting to two wall studs, is your mounting location’s
stud separation less than 32"?
® Is there an AC power outlet within range of your mounting location,
preferably behind the placement of your display?
® Is your mounting location at least 3 ft. from any source of heat or water?

To hide your TV’s power cord, install a Monster® In-Wall PowerCenter™
behind the placement of your display.

Installing the Wall Plate
Remove all pieces of the wall mounting system to ensure
you have all the necessary parts.
Be sure to choose a mounting location with easy access
to an AC power outlet.
Wood Stud Mounting:
Using an electronic stud sensor, locate two adjacent wall studs
at least 12" apart.
With the help of a friend, align the wall plate’s top and bottom horizontal
mounting slots over the center of each wall stud.


Level the wall plate with the bubble level. Hold the plate firmly
in place.
Mark the stud center in each of the four slots (bottom left, top left, bottom
right, top right).
With your electrical drill and 3/16" bit, pre-drill a 3" deep hole at each mark.
Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and round washers
as shown to the right. Tighten each bolt with your electric drill or socket
wrench. Turn clockwise until secure.
DO NOT over tighten bolts. This can damage the wall plate
or your wall surface.
DO NOT release the wall plate until you are absolutely certain
it is secured to the wall.

Installing the Wall Plate continued
Masonry Mounting
While masonry materials (bolts and concrete anchors) are included, masonry
mounting requires specialized knowledge, skills and tools. Monster highly
recommends you seek the assistance of a professional installer when
mounting to masonry.
DO NOT drill holes in masonry mortar joints.


With the help of a friend, position the wall plate in your
desired mounting location. Level the wall plate with the bubble level.

Be careful not to mark a mortar joint.
With your electrical drill and 1/2" masonry bit, pre-drill a 3" deep hole
at each mark.
Install the supplied plastic concrete anchors in each hole. Tap into hole
until fully seated.
Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and round washers
as shown to the right. Make sure the flat center of the plate is facing
the wall.
DO NOT over tighten bolts. This can damage the wall plate
or your wall surface.
DO NOT release the wall plate until you are absolutely certain
it is secured to the wall.

Attaching the Tilting Vertical Adjustment Bars to the TV
DO NOT lay your TV face down when attaching the Tilting
Vertical Adjustment Bars. This can cause permanent damage
to your screen. Lean it against a wall or other solid surface so
it remains vertically upright.
Your TV should be unplugged before threading any bolt
or screw into the back panel.
Your mounting system features 12 sets of screws of varying diameter
and length. Before attaching the adjustment bars to your display, determine
which screw set is correct for your display.
TVs with flat backs use a shorter screw without a spacer. TVs with curved backs
or recessed inserts may require a longer screw with a spacer between the TV
and adjustment bars. Smaller M4, M5 or M6 screws require a square washer
(supplied) between the adjustment bar and each screw.
Locate the threaded inserts on your TV’s back panel. Thread a screw
from the set into one of the inserts to ensure it is the correct choice.
Thread screws through the adjustment bars into the TV inserts with the
appropriate spacer and washer set. Make sure to install each adjustment
bar so its Pull ‘n’ Twist™ handle faces the outer edge of the TV.
With a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws so the adjustment bars are
firmly attached to the TV.
DO NOT over tighten screws. Thread screws carefully by hand before
tightening. If you feel any resistance, remove the screw immediately.

Hanging the TV and Tilting Vertical Adjustment Bars
on the Wall Plate
Make sure the tilt mechanisms are locked before you mount the TV.
For full instructions, refer to page 16.
Monster strongly recommends that a minimum of two people
perform the following steps.
DO NOT release the TV until you are certain it is properly mounted
and secured to the wall plate.
Connect the TV’s power cord and any AV cable to the TV before hanging it.
With the help of a friend, lift the TV and plug its power cord into a nearby
AC outlet. If routing AV cable in wall, route the cable through the wall
plate’s Pass-Thru slots into the prepared opening in your wall.
Locate the two sets of QuickLift™ hooks on the back of the Tilting Vertical
Adjustment Bars, now attached to your TV.
Hang either the upper or lower pair of QuickLift™ hooks on the wall plate’s
top and bottom horizontal channels. (See diagram on opposite page.)
The higher display position requires an additional 3" of audio/video cable
and power cord length.
Secure the display with the L-Shaped Locking Bar. Slide it horizontally
through the slot below either bottom hook.
The locking bars should always be used to reduce the risk of seismic
damage. A padlock can be added for additional theft deterrence.

Adjusting Your TV’s Tilt and On-Wall Height
Tilting Your TV:
With a person on each side of the TV, turn the Pull ‘n’ Twist™ handles
downward as far as you can. This loosens the tilting adjustment bars
and initiates tilt.
To further loosen the adjustment
bars and increase ease of tilt, pull
outward on the round portion
of the handle. This initiates its
ratchet mechanism.
In ratchet mode, turn the handle
upward to its highest point.
Release the handle to disengage
ratchet mode. When handle clicks
into place, it’s ready to be turned
downward again. Repeat Step 1.
To prevent stress on TV, ensure both
bars are tilted at the same angle.
To lock the bars into place at the
desired angle, do the reverse of the
steps above. Turn the handles
upward and ratchet as needed
until the bars are secure.
