Installing Your Sound Bar
On a Table Top
Find a flat and level surface to place your soundbar. Most people position the soundbar centered below their TV.
When placing the Sound Bar on an entertainment cen- ter, bookshelf, or any type of enclosed space, be sure to allow space around the Sound Bar for ventilation. If the Sound Bar is enclosed in a tight space without adequate ventilation, heat generated by the Sound Bar could produce a potential heat hazard.
How to Mount the Sound Bar to a Wall
A wall mounting kit is included in the box for your convenience. However, each installation environment is unique and has its own requirements; you may need additional material to prepare the soundbar for mounting. You will need the following:
Included wall mounting kit (2 wall brackets, 4 screws, 4 drywall plugs)

• Pencil
• Level
• Ruler
• Drill
• Hammer (for drywall installations only)
• Cross-head screwdriver.

Naxa Electronics recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer. Naxa is not liable for any accidents or damage to property or the soundbar due to incorrect installation.
1. Using a level and ruler, use a pencil to mark 2 points on the wall that is 33.4 inches apart. Use the level to ensure that the points are on the same horizontal plane.

Use the wall brackets as a template to mark the second set of points on the wall. Make sure the bracket is level before marking the wall, and that the points are level with each other.
Use the drill to drill a hole at each of the 4 marked points on the wall. Select a drill bit that is appropriate for your wall’s construction. If you are using the drywall plugs as directed in step 4, make sure the diameter of the drill bit matches the diameter of the plugs.
For drywall installations only; for wood, skip to step 5: using a hammer, gently insert the drywall plugs in each of the holes. The plugs should fit completely into the hole, with the tops of the plug flush with the wall.(For installations in brick or concrete walls, please obtain masonry plugs from your local hardware store.)
Use a screwdriver and two screws to affix the left bracket to the wall, then do the same for the right bracket. Hand-tighten the screws; do not overtighten them! Note the
orientation of the hooks on the bracket in the illustration.
Make sure that the brackets are stable and firmly attached to the wall. Locate the mount points on the rear of the soundbar, then hook the soundbar onto the brackets.

⚠ The wall that the brackets are mounted on should be of sufficient strength to support the weight of the sound bar, and the brackets should be perpendicular to the floor

These openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or another similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power Sources: This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization: This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug that has one blade wider than the other. This plug will only fit into the power outlet in one direction. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the direction of the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point which they exit from the product.

13. Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an attachment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature.

If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug that has the same overload protection as the original plug as specified by the manufacturer. ****

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70 provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode (see figure).
    

15. Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning or power-line surges.

16.  Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power cir- cuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When in-stalling an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

19. Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service: Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) when the power supply or plug is damaged; b) if liquid has been spilled or if objects have fallen into the product; c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water; d) if the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation; e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way; f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure that your service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the  ame characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
