Panasonic TYWK42PR4W: Fitting procedure

English

Fitting procedure

[ Never use any other method 

than specified to install.]

1. Confirm the strength of the proposed fitting location.

(1)  The weight of the wall-hanging bracket is approximately 10 kg (22.0 lbs). For the weight of 

the plasma TV attached to the wall-hanging bracket, please see manual for the plasma TV.

(2)  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.

Notes

•  There are 16 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.

•  For detailed dimensions for attaching the plasma TV, refer to 

the separate External Dimension Drawing (page 46-50).

•  Do not attach or place anything other than the plasma TV on 

the bracket.

2. Fit wall-hanging bracket to wall.

(1) Fit so that the arrow marks on the wall-hanging bracket point upward.

(2) Fasten the screw at the top center hole (A) first.

(3)  Using a level, correct any bracket inclination, and then fasten  screws at the 

remaining 5 locations.

Notes

•  If the wall consists of a material such as concrete, and bolts or nuts must be 

embedded beforehand, determine the hole positions using the actual wall-hanging 

bracket, or calculate hole positions based on the dimension drawing and then embed 

bolts or nuts with a nominal diameter of 6 mm. When embedding bolts, locate so that 

the bolts protrude from the wall by 10 to 15 mm (25/64 to 19/32 inches).

•  Use commercially available screws with a nominal diameter of 6 mm that are 

suited to the wall material you are fitting the bracket to.

•  Always fix firmly more than 6 places with a screw.

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 bracket is set to 5° before shipment from the factory.

To change the angle, move the attachment position of the strap.

Note

•  The strap is not required for the ‘no incline’ setting. Store the 

strap and the attaching screws in a safe place (as they will be 

needed for the inclined settings.)

The bolt should be securely tightened to the torque given 

below.
