Wood Stud Mounting

Do not attempt to install this product if you do not understand the instructions. Contact a

qualified contractor to install the mounting brackets and call the V, Inc (714) 962-4848 if you

have any questions. You risk the possibility of damaging the Plasma TV, damaging other

property and personal injury if the mounting brackets are not installed properly. Check to

make sure there are no missing or defective parts. Do not attempt to assemble the mounting

brackets if there are missing or defective parts. Contact V, Inc and replacement parts will be

shipped to you immediately. V Inc. is not liable for damage or injury caused by incorrect

mounting, incorrect assembly or incorrect usage.

What you will need to install your new Plasma TV:

• Drill

• 1/8” Drill Bit

• Level

• Measuring Tape

• Phillips Screw Driver

• Ratchet

• 7/16” Socket

• Stud Finder

• Pencil or Pen

Step # 1

Determine Wall Mounting Height and Location

Choose the height and location where you will mount your new Plasma TV. Measure the

screen’s overall length and height in the mounted position. Calculate the centerline for both

measurements; this will give you the location of the screen’s center point. Determine the final

mounting position of the center point, vertically (height) and horizontally (length). Mark this

point on the wall using your pencil or pen.

Step # 2

Locate Wall Studs

The Plasma TV is designed to mount on a wall with a minimum of 2” X 4” studs. Wall studs

should run vertically (up and down) inside the wall. Use a stud finder to identify your wall

stud locations. Mark the location of the two studs closest to the center point at approximately

the same height as the center point, using your pencil or pen.

Repeat the previous process to mark the same stud locations approximately 6” above and 6”

below your first stud location mark

Use the level to connect these three points with a “best fit” line using your pencil or pen. This

should provide the approximate centerline of the wall stud. Note: If your three stud marks

do not line up vertically using the level, something is wrong. Repeat Step # 2 and

make sure wall studs are continuous in the vertical (up and down) direction. Do not

mount the screen on a wall if the studs are not continuous.

How to locate wall studs without a stud finder:

• Find an electrical box (light switch or power outlet) on the same wall you intend to

mount the Plasma TV. Electrical boxes are always mounted to studs. Turn the

power off at the electrical panel and then remove the electrical box cover.

CAUTION! Make sure the power is off by trying to turn on lights or using outlet

before you attempt to remove the cover. Now you should be able to locate the stud

by shining a flashlight through holes in the electrical box.

• Using your knuckles, lightly rap the wall looking for a solid (rather than hollow)

sound over the studs.

• If all else fails, use a 6d (6-penny) finish nail and probe carefully just above the

baseboard until the nail finds a stud.

• Use your level to transfer the stud location up to height of the centerline and

continue on with Step # 2.

Tips:

1. Most studs are 1-1/2 inches wide with their centers 16 inches apart.

2. Don't use studs framing doors or windows as a reference.

Step # 3

Determine Mounting Hole Locations

Use the level to make a vertical (up and down) line that extends from the center point to 3 ¼”

above the center point. Mark this ending point on the wall using your pencil or pen. Now use

the level to make a vertical line that extends from the center point to 3 ¼” below the center

point. Mark this ending point on the wall with your writing location.

Draw a horizontal (side to side) line through the upper center point that connects it with both

stud centerlines. These intersection points are the locations where the upper mounting holes

will be drilled.

Draw a horizontal (side to side) line through the lower center point that connects it with both

stud centerlines. These intersection points are the locations where the lower mounting holes

will be drilled.

Step # 4

Drill Pilot Holes

Drill pilot holes 2 1/2" deep using a 1/8” diameter drill bit at the four intersection points (upper

and lower mounting holes) that were identified in Step # 3.

Step # 5

Anchor Base Plate To Wall

• Align the center of the base plate with

the center point as close as possible

• Position the base plate so that the

mounting slots align with the pilot

holes that were drilled in Step # 4

• Anchor the base plate into the wall

using the ratchet and the four 1/4" X

2” lag bolts provided

• Note: All four mounting bolts must

be used and fastened securely into

wall studs for proper installation!

Step # 6

Mount Brackets on Plasma TV

• Note: The orientation of the

mounting brackets is critical!

• There is a “Left Hand” and a “Right

Hand” bracket, make sure that the

hook portion of the bracket is on the

top side and that hand knob is on the

outer edge of the bracket when

mounted on the rear of the Plasma

TV.

• Attach the mounting brackets to the

Plasma TV using the hardware

provided

• Center the brackets on the Plasma TV

vertically (up and down)

Step # 7

Lower Plasma TV onto Base Plate

• Pick up the screen and tilt the top

slightly towards the wall

• Slowly lower the screen until the

hooks make contact with the base

plate and then carefully let the Plasma

TV move into the vertical position.

• Note: Make sure the screen has

hooked on to the base plate

before you release the Plasma TV!

Step # 8

Tighten Thumbscrews

• You will need to tighten the

thumbscrews on the bottom of the

mounting brackets to secure the

Plasma TV on the base plate

• Before tightening the thumbscrews

make sure the Plasma TV is in the

desired position as it can be slid left or

right a few inches.

• Turn the thumbscrews clockwise until

they contact the base plate

• Note: The Plasma TV should not be

able to slide from side to side, or be

pulled away from the wall at the

bottom if the thumbscrews are

secured properly!

Step # 9

Adjust Screen Angle (If Necessary)

• You can adjust the screen angle using

the knobs located on the outside edge

of each mounting bracket

• The knobs on both sides will have to

be made loose in order to make

adjustments

• Turn each knob counter-clockwise

one full turn

• Adjust the Plasma TV to the proper

angle

• Hold the Plasma TV in place, while

you tighten the closest knob by turning

it clockwise

• Tighten the knob on the other side

Step # 10

Position Cords

• Position power cord and other cables

• Wrap any excess cord length around

the base plate (If necessary)
