Mounting Your TV to the Wall
To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.
Model L26HD31/L26HD31S Purchase a VESA 100 x 100, M4 screw
Model L32HD31/L32HD36 Purchase a VESA 200 x 100, M4 screw
Model L40HD36 Purchase a VESA 600 x 400, M6 screw
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example,
600x400 refers to fact that the mounting measurements are 600mm horizontally and 400mm vertically.
Notes:
Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.
The space between the TV and the wall must be at least 40 mm.
Obtain the Signal
The first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to
receive analog and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT.
Before you connect your TV, you have to determine whether you will be using an antenna or a cable
service to obtain the signal.
What You Need
Antenna (Rabbit Ears) Or Outdoor Antenna with Coaxial Cable
Plug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of
the TV. You are ready to receive off-air local digital and analog channels.
Cable Service
Plug the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV. You
are ready to receive your cable channels.
Set-Top Box
If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable company or satellite service provider. They may
recommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.
