Before any installation carefully plan where wiring will pass through
walls. Perform an obstruction survey using a stud nder to be
certain there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket
doors or air returns in the wall cavity. If you are unsure about
obstructions, drill a small hole near where the Soundbar wire
terminals will be located and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole
to feel around for possible obstructions.

Assembling and Connecting the
Attachment Rails
Carefully place the display face down on a soft at surface. This will
require two people. Place the Soundbar face down and position it
as close to the display as possible.
Position the soundbar display attachment rails on the back of the
display mounting points. Place the display mount arms on top
of the display attachment rails. The bottom end of the display
attachment rails should be ush with the bottom of your display.
Make sure that the screw inserts on the display and attachment
rails are aligned.
Secure the wall bracket and attachment rails to the display using
spacers and screws supplied with the wall mount or E. and F.
screws with H. and I. washers (depending on the size of the
display’s threaded Inserts. E. and H. are M6; F. and I. are M8).
Hardware will vary. It is recommended to keep spacers and
hardware provided with display or display mount. Refer to your
display manual for the proper torque to be applied to the screws.
Position the soundbar as close to display as possible. Firmly fasten
B. screws with I. washers to connect soundbar to the soundbar
