TY- WK42PV3U 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.

There are 22 holes in the wall hanging bracket.

A
1070 (42 1/ 8)
1170 (46 1/16)
1140 (44 57/64)
1329 (52 21/64)

B
596 (23 15/32)
656 (25 53/64)

C
120 (4 47/64)
150 (5 29/32)
237 (9 21/64)
294 (11 37/64)

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

Be sure to always fit the red screws for

open/close fastening
in order to fasten the
plasma TV.

(1) After wiring, remove the red screw for open/close

fastening on the left side, raise the unit towards yourself
once, and then slowly lower it again. The lock will release.
(2) Securely fasten the red screws for open/close fastening
(one each on the left and right)
to the fitting holes on
the side of the unit.

6. Fastening of wall hanging bracket

(1) Remove the red screws for open/close fastening (one each
on the left and right) .
(2) Raise the plasma TV towards yourself, as shown in the
diagram at right, push up the lock bracket in the arrow
direction (upward), check that the bracket has locked, and
tentatively fasten. Securely fasten the red screw for
open/close fastening (one screw on left side)
to the lock
bracket fastening hole .
(3) After the above preparation, wire to equipment.

5. Preparation for wiring to equipment

(1) Locate the insulation spacers on the top of the plasma TV

unit into the notch on the top of the wall hanging bracket,
and slide down.
(2) Lift the plasma TV unit a little, insert the bottom insulation
spacers into the holes on the bottom of the wall hanging
bracket, and slide the unit down.
(3) Attach securely using the included unit fastening screws
(1 each for left and right).
Notes Be sure to securely tighten the fastening
screws to keep the plasma TV from becoming
loose.
Do not hold any PX20 Series plasma TV by the
bottom of the front panel.

Always follow these precautions

This label indicates a danger of injury, or equipment damage.

This label indicates a danger of severe injury or even death.

Incorrect fitting may cause equipment

to fall, resulting in injury.

This may cause heat to build up inside

the plasma TV unit, resulting in a fire.

The plasma TV unit has air blow holes on the

top, and air suction holes on the bottom and
rear. Covering these may result in a fire.

* Provide spacing around the plasma TV of at least 100 mm (3

15/16 inches) to the top and right side, at least 300 mm (11
13/16 inches) to the left side, at least 60 mm (2 23/64 inches)
to the bottom and at least 42 mm (1 21/32 inches) to the rear.

Forbidden

Do not fit facing upwards, sideways or

upside down.

The picture shown is for illustrative purposely only and may differ slightly from the actual product.

The plasma TV may fall and cause

injury.

The work of fitting or removing the plasma

TV must be performed by at least two
people.

Forbidden

This may have an adverse effect on the

plasma TV and cause fire or electric
shock.

Do not fit at any locations subject to

humidity, dust, smoke, steam or heat.

Forbidden

If the fitting location lacks sufficient

strength the equipment may fall.

Do not fit at a location that cannot bear the

load.

This may cause injury.

When expanding connection equipment, be

sure to prevent lock release.

Caution

If strength is not sufficient the

equipment may fall, resulting in injury.

Include a safety factor when considering the

strength of the proposed fitting location.

Forbidden

Fitting work and connection equipment

expansion should never be done by any other
than a qualified installation specialist.

Precautions for wall hanging bracket fitting

1) Exercise care when selecting the location for the TV because it may discolor or deform due to light or heat if it is
placed where it is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater.
2) Upkeep
Wipe with a dry cloth. If the unit is extremely soiled, first wipe off soiling with a neutral detergent diluted in water, and
then wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaners such as benzene, thinner or furniture wax because they may cause
paint peeling. (If using a chemical wiping cloth, follow any precautions included.)
3) Do not affix adhesive tape or stickers. Doing so may dirty the surface of the wall mounting bracket.
