Hanging the sound bar on a wall
The sound bar can be mounted on a wall using the two keyholes
provided on the back of the bar for this purpose. When hanging
bar on a wall, position it in a flat, vertical position.
To ensure safety, it is best to employ a contractor to mount the
sound bar on the wall.
NOTE
0
In order to use the unit safely, do not place items on or hang items from
the unit.
0
Do not attempt to install the sound bar onto a wall made of material
that may crumble easily, such as mortar or decorative plywood. Doing
so may result in the screw pulling out and the sound bar falling, causing
injury or damage to the sound bar.
0
Be sure to fix connection cables to the wall to ensure that the cables
cannot be pulled or tripped over, which may cause the unit to fall.
Check that the unit is mounted safely after the mounting work is
complete.
0
Also, periodically check that the unit is mounted solidly and that there
is no possibility that the unit could fall.

Tape the template to the location you would like to mount the sound bar.
Leave enough space between the TV and the sound bar so that the sound from the Atmos speakers on the top of the bar, which projects towards
the ceiling, is not blocked by the TV. Refer to the table on the previous page for spacing recommendations. (v p. 15)
B
Screw in the wall mount screws by following the template.
Screw in one self-tapping screw (commercially available, 3/16 in./5 mm to 1/4 in./6 mm diameter) into a wall that has sufficient strength to support
the weight of the sound bar, or into reinforcing material on the wall.
