We recommend installing the Floating Stand a short

distance away from the wall.

When installing the TV on the Floating Stand, make

sure that the woofer speaker is securely connected to

the TV.

If the woofer speaker is not connected securely, an

error message will appear on the TV screen when

turned on.

If an error message appears on the TV screen, the

connector is not connected properly. Check that the

connector is not damaged, and then reconnect the

woofer speaker to the TV.

If the woofer speaker joint is not connected securely, no

sound will be heard from the speaker resulting in

possible damage to the TV. (An error message will

appear on the TV screen if not connected securely.)
