INSTALLING THE WALL
MOUNT
You can use the wall mount bracket to mount this unit
on a wall.
Installation Precautions
• Install on a vertical wall only.
• For the installation, avoid a location with high
temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot
sustain the weight of the set.
• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not
strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the
wall or install the unit on a different wall that can
support the unit's weight.
• 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 will mount the
Soundbar on.
- Diameter: M5
- Length: 35 mm or longer recommended.
• Connect cables from the unit to external devices
before you install it on the wall.
• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged
before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an
electric shock.

3. Push a pen tip or sharpened pencil tip through the
centre 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.
4. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in
the wall at each marking.
cIf 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.

bottom. For a proper fit, make sure to align the
bumps on the Soundbar to the holes on the
brackets.
