Take set screw out of mount and take tv off the wall bracket. You can then remove the screws on the back holding it to the tv mount.

A:

Pretty simple - there are four Phillips screws going through the bracket into the back of the TV. Just swivel the tv out from the wall and have someone hold the TV while you unscrew the four screws.

A:

Easy. Undo one screw. Then lift the TV off the mount. There is a bracket that stays attached to the TV. You would probably want to remove it before sending it out for service.

Best Answer

A:

Disconnect the cables. There is a single screw that attaches the swing arm to the bottom bracket attached to your TV. Remove that screw and the TV should swing out from the bottom easily. Lit the TV up off the swing arm and you are there. At this point you can remove the 4 screws that hold the top and bottom horizontal pieces of the bracket that you can remove to easily access the 4 screws which hold the vertical bracket bars to your TV. Once these are off you can take your TV in for repair.

A:

Using the manual for instructions on how to install, I would just reverse the steps in order to correctly uninstall the mount.

Portrait View

Q:

Can I turn the mount 90* so that the TV is in Portrait view instead of landscape view? And if so, can it be done easily on the fly, or does it require using tools to tighten/loosen parts.

A:

The mount doesn't adjust that way (i.e. does not rotate clockwise and has no ability to). If you are talking about attaching the brackets to the back of the TV so that they are screwed in horizontally instead of vertically, that looks like it will work. There are 4 screws holding two brackets to the back of the TV (two on each bracket). They are 4" apart vertically and about 4.25" apart horizontally - looking at the extra mounting holes to accommodate different TVs, it appears that it will also accommodate mounting the brackets to the back of the TV in this way. This would not be easily modifiable on the fly - would have to have someone hold the TV, while a second person uses a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws into the back of the TV.

A:

I have not tried this, but I don't think you would have any problem doing so. You could not do it on the fly though.

You attach a set of arms to the back of the TV. It would just be a matter of changing the orientation when you bolt on those arms. But to swap back and forth you would have to take the TV down and undo and redo those four bolts, and a few screws that tie the arms together. I would say about 10-15 minutes to do the swap over.

The only way I could see that you could do that is to mount it sideways so that it is in portrait view all of the time.

A:

This is not designed to be used in landscape mode. You would have to remove it from the wall each time you wanted to switch orientation. The RF-TVMP20 or RF-TVMP40 provide the easy rotation that you're looking for.

When my tv is not extended and is fully up against the wall it is not centered to where I want it to be. Is there anyway to fix this?

Q:

I've already moved the tv along the holes in the brackets. The tv is also bracketed into the stud closest to the center.

Answers

A:

I had the same problem, only way I could solve it was to center the TV where I wanted it when it's up against the wall and then marked where the holes into the wall would be. Of course this no longer lined up with the studs and was just in the dry wall. Home Depot sells dry wall mounting studs that are rated to hold up to 100 pounds in normal dry wall (was less than $5 for a package of two). Used these drywall anchors and it worked perfectly. The down side is you must be VERY careful to NOT put extra force on the wall anchors when adjusting the swivel now (you don't realize how much force you are adding to the weight of the TV when you start pushing or pulling on the TV to move it around). You must loosen up all the set screws while someone supports the TV and then move it to where you want it and retighten. You also assume all risk if it does pull out of the dry wall since the instructions tell you very clearly you MUST mount into a stud. Mine's been mounted into the drywall alone for two months now with no issues.

Best Answer

A:

We've noticed from putting up two TV's on the wall, that we shouldn't mount the bracket directly in the center of the wall. The one in our living room is off center and now the one in our bedroom is centered. We didn't want to go thru the trouble of moving the one in the living room due to it being mounted on the fireplace.

A:

Centered on the wall or level? Centered on the wall you would more than likely have to move the mounting of the TV completely. If you put it where it is because of a stud you can always use heavy duty drywall screws and they would hold the TV if it is less than 50 pounds.

Try adjusting the hex screws in the rear of the mount they allow a lot of motion.

How do you mean it's not centered? The only other way is to center it, is to physically drill holes in your wall to move/mount your TV.
