Before commencing work, carefully read these Instructions and the Manual for the wide plasma display to ensure
that fitting is performed correctly.
(Please save these instructions. You may need them when maintaining or moving the bracket.)
Fitting Instructions
TY- WK42PR2U
Wall hanging bracket 
(Adjustable angle type)
Fitting procedure
1. Confirm the strength of the proposed fitting location
The weight of the wall hanging bracket is approximately 10 kg (22 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 actu-
al 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.
• There are 14 holes in the wall hanging
bracket.
If the wall material is wood, and ade-
quate 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.

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

5. Attaching the plasma TV to the wall-hang-
ing bracket and connecting the wiring
(1) Remove the red screws for open/close fastening (one
each on the left and right)
.
(2) Hook the insulation spacers on the top of the plasma
TV over the notches on the bracket, and allow the TV
to hang from the bracket.
(3) Pull the plasma TV body forward, as shown in the diagram
at right, and connect the wiring.
(4) After wiring is finished, slightly raise the plasma TV
and insert the insulation spacers at the lower back into
the holes at the base of the wall hanging bracket.
(5) Lower the plasma TV into place.
6. Fastening the plasma TV
(1) Fit the included fastening screws in the indicated holes at
the sides of the wall-hanging bracket (left and right).
(2) Securely refit the red screws for open/close fastening
(one each on the left and right)
in the indicated holes
on the sides of the wall-hanging bracket.

3. Angle adjustment of wall-hanging bracket
The angle of the wall-hanging bracket can be adjusted from
"no incline" to "20° incline" in 5 settings at intervals of 5°
(The TH-50PX20 has 4 settings, ranging up to "15° incline.")
The bracket is set to 5° before shipment from the factory. 
To change the angle, move the attachment position of the
strap.
* The strap is not needed for the "no incline" setting.

4. Prepare the plasma TV 
Fit the insulation spacers to the plasma TV.
Place the plasma TV unit face down on a blanket or other soft cloth that is clean and free of debris, and follow the procedure below.
(1) Remove the terminal cover on the plasma TV (PX20 series only).
(2) Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the four caps from the plasma TV.
* Carefully retain the removed terminal cover
and caps in a safe place. (They will be needed
again later should it be required to use the
special-purpose stand or standalone stand.)
(3) Using the included Allen wrench, fit the
included Allen head countersunk screws,
dished tooth washers and insulation spacers
(4 sets) into the holes from where the caps
were removed. (See the diagram at right.)

• If the plasma TV is raised too far, there is a
risk it may become unhooked from the top
of the bracket.
• Do not hold the front panel of a PX20 Series
plasma TV at the bottom.
