How to Mount a DVR on Top of a Flat Panel

The days of placing equipment on top of thick, floor-mounted TVs are all but gone. With flat panel sets becoming ever-flatter, many are presented with new equipment placement dilemmas. However, purchase a small, adjustable shelf designed to mount to the top and rear of the flat panel set. These shelves offer limited weight duty and size, but they are suitable for mounting a single component to the top of the set, such as a DVR.

Instructions

1

Center the shelf on top of the TV, aligning the adjustable legs with two flat spots on the rear of the TV.

2

Clean the area where the mounting pads will be affixed on the rear of the TV using the alcohol pads.

3

Remove the backing on the hook-and-loop fasteners on the shelf's mounting pads. Aligning the feet with the rear of the set, place the supplied hook-and-loop fasteners on the set. Firmly mate the pads on the feet and on the rear of the set by pressing them together.

4

Tighten the hex screw on the legs as needed to make the shelf level, using the supplied hex wrench. Use your level tool for the precise corrections. Place the DVR on top of the shelf, and make connections as necessary.
