Sanus Wall Mount

Mounting a 50-inch plasma TV on the wall fulfills much of the design and technological sexiness that flat-panel sets offer. Today, manufacturers are working to make brackets slimmer and stronger. While there is nothing wrong with mounting the set on its stand or on a piece or furniture, wall-mounting a 50-inch plasma TV gives the installation a little more visual impact, to complement the nice images on the screen.

Instructions

1

Use the stud finder to find the two studs needed for bracket mounting.

2

Drill into the two studs with the drill, 3/16 inch bit, and wall bracket used as a hole guide.

3

Insert the four lag screws and washers through the wall bracket, and into the drilled out holes. Tighten them, using the socket wrench. Do not over-tighten, indicated by a buckling bracket.

4

Set the TV on its base (if installed.) Find the four holes on the back of the set, intended to accept bolts from a wall mount. Place the TV bracket against the back of the TV, insert the smaller Allen bolts included with the mount, and tighten them with the Allen screwdriver.

5

Remove the TV's base (if pre-installed) using the Philips screwdriver.

6

Lift the TV straight up, de-coupling it from its base. Hang the set on the wall bracket.

7

Align the set horizontally, using the level. Tighten any security and level adjustment screws to complete the install.
