Fitting Instructions
TY
-WK42PV3U
Wall hanging bracket 
(Vertical mounting type)
Fitting procedure
1. Confirm the strength of the proposed fitting location
The weight of the wall hanging bracket is approximately 7 kg (15 lb.). The plasma TV unit attached to the wall hanging
bracket weighs approximately 30 to 56 kg (66 to 123 lb.).
Check the wall strength at the 6 attachment locations by referring to the dimension drawing of the wall hanging bracket
(given at right), and provide adequate reinforcement if strength is not sufficient.
2. Fit wall hanging bracket to wall
• Fit so that the arrow marks on the wall hanging bracket point upward.
• 
If the wall consists of a material such as concrete and bolts or nuts must be
embedded beforehand, determine the hole positions by aligning using the actual
wall hanging bracket, or calculate hole positions based on the dimension drawing,
and then embed "M6" bolts or nuts. When embedding bolts, locate so that the bolts
protrude from the wall by 10 to 15 mm (25/64 to 19/32 inches).
(1) Fasten the screw at the top center hole first.
(2) 
Using a level, correct any bracket inclination, and then fasten screws at the
remaining 5 locations.
4. 
Fit and fasten the plasma TV unit to
the wall hanging bracket 
(1) 
Locate the insulation spacers on the top of the plasma TV
unit into the notch on the top of the wall hanging bracket,
and slide down.
(2) 
Lift the plasma TV unit a little, insert the bottom insulation
spacers into the holes on the bottom of the wall hanging
bracket, and slide the unit down.
(3) 
Attach securely using the included unit fastening screws
(1 each for left and right).
• 
There are 22 holes in the wall hanging bracket.
If the wall material is wood, and adequate
attachment strength cannot be ensured by
fastening at the 6 points at right, use as many
spare holes as necessary. However, exercise
care because some wall materials may crack if
screws are located too close together. 
The following dimensions are important. Do not
fit at any location where these dimensions
cannot be secured.

Note
• Use commercially available M6 screws suited to the wall surface material
(wood, steel frame, concrete etc.) for fitting the bracket to the wall.
