can i wall mount the sony ht-s400 soundbar? the manual is confusing and i don't see any brackets in the box.

— asked by Jamie

Quick answer: You're right, it's confusing because the S400 doesn't include wall-mount brackets. The threaded holes on the back are for an optional accessory.

You're right, it's confusing because the S400 doesn't include wall-mount brackets. The threaded holes on the back are for an optional accessory.

How to Fix It

You need to buy Sony's specific wall-mount bracket for this model, part number SU-WL500 (that's the real number). It's a simple pair of keyhole brackets that screw into those back threads. Once attached, you hook the brackets onto screws in your wall. Don't try to rig it with generic straps—the weight distribution is wrong.

If That Didn't Work

If you can't find the official bracket, a universal soundbar shelf that sits on your TV stand is a safer bet than a DIY wall mount.

Heads Up

The subwoofer is not designed for wall mounting at all. Its downward-firing driver and port need open space on the floor.
