has anybody wall mounted the unit? i want to wall mount but it seems that if the wall brackets are flush against the wall there will be a problem with power cord being to fat/rigid to take it down or up to the wall plug in. help!

Technical support is available to answer this question. In my experience it is better to use techniccal support than other lay people. I would not want the cord exposed runing to the ceiling so this would not have been an option for me. I also noted that there is a wireless product available from Amazon.

I understand exactly what you're talking about. I had that same problem. Try to do it BEFORE you mount it on the wall. In other words. play around with it a little and see if you can do it WITHOUT mounting first. I just checked mine and it is sitting perfectly, but it can be a pain to get it right. It WILL fit, but it will try your patience first.

Easily, but I would do it differently. I would screw a small piece of wood at the bottom of where I wanted to mount it above. Then once the strip is resting above that to take any weight off pulling it lower along the wall; I would just use a single plastic tie right below the power switch. This holds it tight to the wall (use one screw in the tie holding the tie to the wall), and if you ever want to remove it you haven't done any damage to anything. Just some Spackle in the drill hole in the wall, and you didn't open the unit itself. I hope my explanation makes sense - it's hard to describe what I am envisioning as a solution.

Well David...I will try. Having thought about the many ways this device can be mounted, it's no wonder they weren't included. 2by4, 4by4, wall mounted. I read that one guy mounted it on a short 2by4 then clamped it in a vice when he needed it. I can tell you that when I went to the hardwarre store to get bolts, I thought the holes were 3/8". I was off by 20 thousanths (to large). Im going to drill it to accommodate the larger bolts. Best advice (what I should have done) is to take the device to the store and try sizing it there. Now...how ar you going to mount it is the question. What kind of bolt & how long. If it is a wall you might want to use a "lag screw". But make sure to drill into a stud to get max strength. Good luck.

We have two of these units and they are fantastic and yes, you just plug them in so if you want to relocate unit, you just unplug it. The wall mounting is a bit trickier then the plug in/out.

The power cord is on the opposite end of the cord manager. That's the gray colored piece of plastic in the picture. I'm not for sure which end would be considered top/bottom. If that doesn't help the power cord would be at the top of the picture Amazon provides. As for the cord manager, I personally don't use it. It's designed to pop up so you can run the multiple cords under it then press back down to lock them into a neat, tidy group of cords. It doesn't work for me since you run the cords up through the bottom side (based on Amazons picture) of the device. This would require the device to be situated behind whatever components you are plugging into it. I have mine to the sides of my components. It would require bending the wires to get them down there to cord manager. Having said that, I've been using this surge protector for 6-8 months and have had no problems with it.

The cord is flush with the bottom of the device. The illustration has been cropped and only a half inch or so can be seen above the power switch. It can be wall-mounted using staples to hold the cord to the wall if getting the cabinet closer to the wall is the objective. Even if the device has a straight plug, there are inexpensive adapters that allow for a side connection.

No, We did not want to wall mount the TV because of all the wiring that would be hanging down. We choose not to wall mount our 55" LCD. It sits just fine on top with multiple units below, plus lots of music CD's. We LOVE this arrangement. Our Wall was not long enough to place speakers upright as picturede. We placed them horizontal along the floor under the wall unit.

As long as you know where the plug ins are, you should be ok. It was easier for me to have someone hold the unit while i plugged in the cables, and then put it on the wall. Then again, I didn't run cables through the wall yet, however I will be doing this at some point.

We did not see much problem with off angle viewing on our LN52A630, but we are within 60 degree of the centerline of the TV. I would suggest buying a stand or wall mount that pivots or extends out from the wall. But you have probably already thought of that. The wall mount was quite a challenge to install. First, the bracket has to be centered between two wall studs, which restricts the optimum position of the TV. Second, with the wall mount we bought, it was very hard to work backwards from the desired elevation of the TV to the proper location for the lag bolts holding the bracket on the wall. Third, because of the weight of the bracket and the TV, this is definitely a two-person job.

Predrill the mounting holes, hit the studs directly on, and try to have the fasteners enter as close to where the parts that attach to the back of the TV will hang on the wall panel and you should be fine. Since this is a low clearance bracket, if you do not have side hookups on the TV you might want to attach your cables to the TV prior to putting it on the wall. It gets pretty tight back there.

Hi I am trying to figure out how this is supposed to be mounted! does anyone have a photo? for the wall

The power cord has a 90 angle and sticks out about a 1/2 inch from the TV.This TV will go flush flat against the wall. The power cord will not be a problem as there is no wall mount that is less then .5 inch .

Thanks for the question! I also have a wall-mounted Sony TV... (dry wall mount). I used the wall template that came with the speakerto mount the speaker just above the TV (centered) by creating two holes and using two drywall anchors and screws. I ran the cable behindthe TV and down to the amplifier. Took about 15 minutes and worked great! Looks good too! Hope this helps you! Bob

sure hope it works, i just ordered mine two days ago. i will post back and let you know, but the research i did certainly indicated it work. i think the only negative i read is that it's so close to the wall that the power cord gets a tad in the way.

Hi Mike. Yes, I mounted this unit to the finished walls in my house. First, to answer your question, there is no damage to the drywall associated with the installation. The 4 holes you drill are hidden behind the mounting plates. However, the unit is pretty close to the wall, and I've had some...minor yet unexpected issues from use. First is that it's easy for your feet to strike the wall when doing pull-ups. Once you start exerting yourself, it's easy for your feet to swing around a bit. Avoid wearing shoes and this shouldn't be an issue. Secondly, I've noticed that over time, there are some stains on the wall that I can only assume are coming from sweat or saliva when I'm grunting out the final reps. As for installation, I have a couple tips that I uncovered while installing mine. First, find the center of just one stud. I use a stud finder, but then used a 1/64" drill bit to drill to the left and right, so when I was off the stud on each side, I could split the difference and be sure I was in the exact center. This unit mounts with large lag screws, and if you are not in the middle it could break out during use...anyway, then what you want to do is mount this first unit to the wall, but only tighten up the lag screw just unit the unit holds itself on the wall. Then, mount the pull-up cross bar to the wall mount, just getting it slightly snug. Then, place the second wall mount up and bolt the cross bar to it, finger tight. Using a level, parallel the mounting plates and mark your holes. This is important because there is very little play between the cross bar and the mounts; if you are off by even a little bit, the bolts won't drop into place. By having the cross bar in place and finger tight before you drill your second set of holes solves this. Oh, one last thing. The foam grips are comfortable, but don't hold up well at all if you are using gloves. Be prepared to buy some rubberized grip tape within a few months. All in all, this is a very solid unit for the price, and I'd buy one again. Best, Bill.

Do you plan on attaching the speakers to the videosecu mounts with screws? Or, attaching using the wall/nail mount generally found on pictures, speakers, etc. Either way, the videosecu mounts should do the trick. Keep in mind that some speaker boxes are plastic rather than wood. Keep this in mind when attaching with screws. Attaching the wall mount to the wall is relatively simple. A stud finder and some reasonable planning for speaker placement, and your set!
