How to Wire a Wall-Mounted TV

How to Wire a Wall-Mounted TV

Wall-mounted TVs help you save a lot of space, but wiring them requires a few different steps. Cables going from media devices to the TV will need to be checked for length. Don't attach any wires until you're certain they are long enough to reach the TV when it's mounted on the wall. Cables going up and down your wall might also provide an unwanted look. Cable covers can be used to hide wires so you don't see them going up and down your wall.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the TV from wall. It's easier to attach cables to the TV when it's on the floor because you can see the inputs much easier. Have someone help remove the TV from the wall if it's large or heavy.

    2

    Attach all cables to the media devices and the TV.

    3

    Hang the TV on wall. Be careful not to step or get caught on any wires when you're lifting the TV up. Have someone help again if your TV is large or heavy.

    4

    Tie cables together using a string or with wire ties. Don't tie the cables tight; they just need to be clumped together to help you hide them behind the cable cover.

    5

    Attach the cable cover to the wall with the cables tucked behind. Cables should easily fit behind most covers unless you have an inordinate amount of cables. Refer to the cable cover manual for specific attaching instructions.

    6

    Power on the TV and media devices. You should now be able to watch your wall-mounted TV without seeing any wires running up and down your walls.
