this TV, especially to determine the 
strength of the wall for withstanding the 
TV’s weight.
 Do not install the TV in an inclined 
position. It is designed to be operated in a 
vertical position only.
Eject and take out any disc from the built-in 
BD player before installing the TV on a 
wall.
 Be sure to use the screws supplied with the 
Wall-mount bracket when attaching the 
mounting hooks to the TV set.
The supplied screws are designed so that 
they are 8 mm to 12 mm in length when 
measured from the attaching surface of the 
mounting hook.
The diameter and length of the screws differ 
depending on the Wall-mount bracket 
model. Use of screws other than those 
supplied may result in internal damage to 
the TV set or cause it to fall, etc. Be sure to store the unused screws and 
Table-Top Stand in a safe place until you 
are ready to attach the Table-Top Stand. 
Keep the screws away from small children.
