Polaroid is an electronics company that manufactures a variety of items, including LCD televisions. Polaroid LCD televisions are lighter, yet more durable, than competing televisions that use plasma display technology. Polaroid LCD televisions can be installed using either the included stand or an optional wall mount. Professional installation options exist, but installation can also be performed by most purchasers.
Instructions
1. Determine where the TV will be placed. Polaroid televisions have connectors such as USB, HDMI and component input. Although placement is subjective, the television requires a power source, and must also be near an input source, such as a cable television jack.
2. Decide whether the TV will be wall-mounted. If not, the Polaroid TV can simply be attached to the included stand and set on top of a table or entertainment center.
3. Locate studs behind the wall for wall mounting. Mount kits are available for fastening to wood, concrete or brick. Fastening to drywall directly, without use of studs, is not recommended.
4. Attach the mount to the wall. Mounts used with Polaroid LCD televisions generally utilize a plate with screws, drilled into the structure of the wall, and a bracket that then attaches to the plate and holds the television. Some mounts may allow the television to swivel after installation.
5. Run the cords from the television to the power and input source. The cords can simply be plugged in, or covered by a decoration. Alternatively, in the case of mounted installations, the cables can be run behind the wall by drilling a hole behind the TV where the cords go in, and a hole near the floor where the cords can come out and be plugged in.
6. Connect any accessories. Some Polaroid televisions come with a built-in DVD player, which can reduce clutter, especially where wall mounting is used.
