Setting up tv on stand - Samsung LE40R73BD 40 in. HD-Ready LCD Television

Put tv on bed face down and look at the stand and locate and remove any and all screws holding stand to the flat screen set. Then after mounting the wall plate per instructions mount the tv to wall mounting.

Some stands come with a mount that looks like a wall mount, ready to mount to the TV. If not then use the table top stand that came with the TV

A lot of people are confused about turning the TV 'off'. If there is a light showing when the TV is 'off' it is merely on 'stand-by' and not truly off. Off means being physically turned off by either the switch on the set or the mains. using the remote to turn 'off' the TV will not turn off it will only put the set into stand-by mode. In many cases if the TV is in stand-by mode, and then switched off, when the set is turned back on, it will still be in stand-by mode, and will need to be turned on with the remote. (even if you unplug, in some cases) All TV's are different, so will operate differently of course.

You have to unscrew the stand from the set, the screws are on the back. I believe there are a total of 8 screws. You will then have to lift the set off of the stand.

If the set is equipped for a stand Google the model number with the word base or stand and see what you find.

You can also contact Thompson (RCA/GE) to see if available.

What make and model?

Most wall-mountable TVs will have threaded holes in the back for wall-mounting. Most of which you can bolt a bracket to then unscrew a few of the set-screws for the stand and slide the TV off of the stand.

Most TVs have 4 set screws for the stand located near the bottom middle of the TV where the stand inserts into the TV. The screws may be recessed fairly far into the back of the set and may require a long thin screwdriver.

Dimensions: 29" H, 30 1/8" W, 22 1/2" D

Approx. Shipping Weight: 120 Lbs. I would get a stand that gives you some extra capacity for safety. Measure the base of the TV so you know the dimensions of the sets "footprint" to know the dimensions you need for the stands shelf to accomodate the set. Good luck

There are six screws on the back of the set that remove the stand. Turn the set on its face on a soft surface (bed or carpet). At the base of the TV set (on the TV, not on the stand) you will see nine (9) screw heads. Remove the top three and the bottom three. Leave the middle three in place. The stand just lifts off.
Now, replace the six screws into the TV chassis so if you ever want to replace the stand you'll know where the screws are.

The stand is held on by four screws. Lay the tv face down on a flat surface. Cover the surface with a blanket first. Use a regular phillips screw driver. (If you have a users manual see page 7)
The screws are the set just above the stand on the back of the set. The stand will then slide out.
