Panasonic TYWK42PV4W: 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 7 kg (15.4 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 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.

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

the separate External Dimension Drawing (page 46-48).

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

the bracket.

) to the top and right side, at least 30 cm (11.8

″

) to 

the left side, at least 6 cm (2.4

″

) to the bottom, leave a 

clearance between the rear panel and the wall.

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.

(A)

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. Fit the insulation spacers to the plasma TV.

(1)  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.

(2)  Remove terminal covers (if fitted) from the plasma TV.

(3)  Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the four caps from the plasma TV.

Note

•  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.)
