This document provides instructions for installing the Sanus 051WSSAFM1 soundbar mount, specifically designed for the Sonos Ray.

This mount is designed to be installed only below the television.
Safety and weight restrictions
Weight Limit: The maximum weight capacity for this soundbar mount is 5 lbs (2.27 kg). Do not exceed this limit.
Compatibility Restrictions: You cannot use this product if your TV mount's interface bracket includes built-in/integrated spacers or if the mounting holes/slots are greater than 11mm (0.43 in.).
Tools and parts
Tools Needed: Phillips screwdriver, level, and the included 3/16 in. hex key.
Supplied Parts: The kit includes soundbar brackets, M5 screws, M5 washers, spacers, and various TV interface screws (M4, M6, M8) with corresponding washers and spacers.
Installation steps
- Install Brackets on Sonos Ray: Attach the soundbar brackets to the bottom of the Sonos Ray using the provided M5 screws, washers, and spacers.
- Prep Your TV: If your TV is already mounted, follow your TV mount's manual to safely remove the TV and TV bracket.
- Install Mount to TV: Determine the correct screw diameter (M4, M6, or M8) for your TV. Select the appropriate screw length based on whether your TV back is flat or requires spacers. Ensure adequate thread engagement.
- Adjust Soundbar Bracket: Position the soundbar brackets as vertically as possible to match your TV's hole pattern.
- Tighten Connections: Secure all connections using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not over-tighten, as this will deform the washers.
- Hang Assembly: Follow your TV wall mount installation manual to hang the combined TV and soundbar assembly.
Adjustments
After installation, you can adjust the soundbar position. Use the tilt knobs to set the soundbar mount to the desired location, then use the included hex key to tighten the connection.
