Note: Allow 2mm space between screw and the wall for fitting the wall mount bracket.
Caution:
• We recommend that Wall-mounting be carried out by a professional. The wall
mount bracket “key-holes” are intended for use with #8 (Imperial) or M4 (Metric)

for certain types of wall constructions.
• Make sure that the wall-mount is fixed securely enough so that it meets safety
standards.
• Allow at least 2” (5 cm) separation in all directions between the Sound Bar and other
AV equipment (such as your TV or Set-Top Box).
• It is recommended that all cables (AC adapter and Audio cables) be connected to
the Sound Bar before placing it on the wall.
