Installing Your Sound Bar
On a Table Top
Find a at and level surface to place your sound bar.
Most people position the sound bar centered below
their TV.
When placing the Sound Bar on an entertainment cen-
ter, bookshelf, or any type of enclosed space, be sure
to allow space around the Sound Bar for ventilation.
If the Sound Bar is enclosed in a tight space without
adequate ventilation, heat generated by the Sound Bar
could produce a potential heat hazard.
How to Mount the Sound Bar to a
Wall
A wall mounting kit is included in the box for your
convenience. However, each installation environ-
ment is unique and has its own requirements; you may
need additional material to prepare the sound bar for
mounting.
You will need the following:
•Included wall mounting kit (2 wall brackets, 4
screws, 4 drywall plugs)
•Pencil
•Level
•Ruler
•Drill
•Hammer (for drywall installations only)
•Cross-head screwdriver

www.naxa.com Page 5
Naxa Electronics recommends that wall mounting be
performed by a qualied professional installer. Naxa
is not liable for any accidents or damage to property
or the sound bar due to incorrect installation.
1. Using a level and ruler, use a pencil to mark 2 points
on the wall that are 33.4 inches apart. Use the level
to ensure that the points are on the same horizon-
tal plane.

2. Use the wall brackets as a template to mark a sec-
ond set of points on the wall. Make sure the bracket
is level before marking the wall, and that the points
are level with each other.
3. Use the drill to drill a hole at each of the 4 marked
points on the wall. Select a drill bit that is appropriate
for your wall’s construction. If you are using the dry-
wall plugs as directed in step 4, make sure the diam-
eter of the drill bit matches the diameter of the plugs.
4. For drywall installations only; for wood, skip to
step 5: using a hammer, gently insert the drywall
plugs in each of the holes. The plugs should t
completely into the hole, with the tops of the plug
ush with the wall.
(For installations in brick or concrete walls, please
obtain masonry plugs from your local hardware
store.)
5. Use a screwdriver and two screws to afx the left
bracket to the wall, then do the same for the right
bracket. Hand-tighten the screws; do not over-
tighten them! Note the orientation of the hooks
on the bracket in the illustration.

2.Wall bracket
3.Drywall plugs
(optional)

Page 6 Naxa Electronics
6. Make sure that the brackets are stable and rmly
attached to the wall. Locate the mount points on
the rear of the sound bar, then hook the sound bar
onto the brackets.
⚠⚠The wall that the brackets are mounted on
should be of sufcient strength to support
the weight of the sound bar, and the brack-
ets should be perpendicular to the oor.
