Step 1: Determining the wall-mount location.

Note: For help with determining where you need to drill screw holes, use the HeightFinder™ Installation Assistant at: http://mf1.bestbuy.selectionassistant.com/index.php/heightfinder

The center of your TV will match the center of the wall plate (01). Before you drill holes in the wall:

1 Measure the distance between the middle of one of the TV brackets and the bottom of your TV. This measurement is a.
2 If you plan to place furniture (such as an entertainment center or TV stand) under your TV, measure the height of the furniture and any items on top of the furniture. This measurement is b.
3 Measure the distance between the top of the furniture and where you want the bottom of your TV. This measurement is c.
4 Add a + b + c . The total measurement is the height where you want the center of the wall plate (01) to be on the wall.

5Use a pencil to mark this spot on the wall.

Step 2 - Option 1: Mounting on a wood-stud\* wall

Note: Any drywall covering the wall must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).

1 Locate the studs. Verify the center of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder.
2 At the wall height you determined in the previous step, align the wall plate template (21) against the wall, make sure that it is level, then tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the lag bolt locations, then remove the wall plate template.
3 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" (75 mm) using a 7/32" (5.5 mm) diameter drill bit.
4 Align the wall plate with the pilot holes, then place the washers (05) over the holes in the wall plate. Insert the lag bolts (04) through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts only until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall plate.

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (04).

* Minimum wood stud size: common 2 x 4 in. (51 x 102 mm) nominal 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 in. (38 x 89 mm).
* Minimum horizontal spacing between fasteners cannot be less than 16" (406 mm).

Note: Mount the wall plate directly onto the concrete surface.

1 At the wall height you determined in the previous step, align the wall plate template (21) against the wall, make sure that it is level, then tape to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations, then remove the wall plate template.
2 Drill pilot holes to a depth of 3" (75 mm) using a 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
3 Insert concrete wall anchors (06) into the pilot holes and use a hammer to make sure that the anchors are seated flush with the concrete surface.
4 Align the wall plate with the anchors. Place washers (05) over the screw holes in the wall plate, insert lag bolts (04) through the washers, then tighten the lag bolts only until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall plate.

CAUTION: Avoid potential injuries or property damage. DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts (04).

Step 3: Adjusting the tilt

Note: The tilt on the left TV bracket (02) and right TV bracket (03) must be the same.

5 Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws (S) from the outside edges of each TV bracket (02 and 03).
6 To tilt the TV forward by 5°, push the tilt brackets on the left TV bracket (02) and right TV bracket (03) down.

OR

To keep the TV completely vertical, push tilt brackets on the left TV bracket (02) and right TV bracket (03) up.

7 Re-insert the two tilt screws (S) into each TV bracket (02 and 03), then tighten the screws.

CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screws.

Step 4: Determine whether your TV has a flat back or an irregular or obstructed back

1 Carefully place your TV screen face-down on a cushioned, clean surface to protect the screen from damages and scratches. 2 If your TV has a table-top stand attached, remove the stand. See the documentation that came with your TV for instructions.

3 Temporarily lay the TV brackets (02 and 03) on the back of your TV.

4Align the screw holes in the TV brackets with the mounting screw holes on your TV.

5Identify which type of back your TV may have:

- Flat back: The brackets lay flush against the back of your TV and does not block any jacks. You do not need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

- Obstructed back: The brackets block one or more of the jacks on the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with bolts, rollers, and a cylindrical component labeled '200.00'

- Irregularly-shaped back: There is a gap between a bracket and some part of the back of your TV. You will need spacers when assembling the wall mount.

6Remove the TV brackets.

Step 5: Selecting the screws and spacers

1 Select the hardware for your TV (screws, washers, and spacers). A limited number of TVs come with mounting hardware included. (If there are screws that came with the TV, they are typically installed in the holes on the back of the TV.)

Select one of the following types of screws:

M4 × 12 mm screws (07)	M6 × 20 mm screws (12)
M4 × 30 mm screws (08)	M6 × 35 mm screws (13)
M5 × 12 mm screws (09)	M8 × 16 mm screws (14)
M5 × 30 mm screws (10)	M8 × 40 mm screws (15)
M6 × 12 mm screws (11)	M8 × 60 mm screws (16)

Select one of the following types of washers:

M4/M5 washers (17) M6/M8 washers (18)

For an irregular or obstructed TV back, select one of the following types of spacers:

M4/M5 spacers (19) M6/M8 spacers (20)

2 Hand thread screws into the threaded screw holes on the back of your TV to determine the correct screw diameter and length. If your TV has an irregular or obstructed back, place a spacer between your TV back and the screw to make sure you have the correct length.

Screw is too long Screw fits correctly Screw is too short

CAUTION: To avoid potential personal injuries and property damage, make sure that there are adequate threads to secure the brackets to your TV. If you encounter resistance, stop immediately and contact customer service. Use the shortest screw and spacer combination to accommodate your TV. Using hardware that is too long may damage your TV. However, using a screw that is too short may cause your TV to fall from the mount.

3Remove the screws.

4 For a flat back TV, go to "Step 6 - Option 1: Installing on a TV with a flat back" on page 12.

For an irregular or obstructed back, go to "Step 6 - Option 2: Installing for a TV with an irregular or obstructed back" on page 13.

Step 6 - Option 1: Installing on a TV with a flat back

1 Align the holes you noted on the left TV bracket (02) and right TV bracket (03) with the screw holes on the back of your TV and make sure that the brackets are level.
1. The brackets are marked "R" for the right bracket and "L" for the left bracket.
2 Place the washers (17 or 18) over the holes in the TV brackets that align with the screw holes on the back of your TV, then insert the screws (07, 09, 11, 12, or 14).

3 Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV bracket. Do not over tighten.

3 Align the holes you noted on the left TV bracket (02) and right TV bracket (03) with the spacers and make sure the brackets are level.
4. The brackets are marked "R" for the right bracket and "L" for the left bracket. Place the washers (17 or 18) over the holes in the TV brackets, then insert the screws (08, 10, 13, 15, or 16).

5Tighten the screws until they are snug against the TV bracket. Do not overtighten.
