Hi there, CharlesB. We understand your inquiry about placing your LG 5.1-Channel S60TR Home Theater Soundbar on a console under your 55″ OLED (Model OLED55C4PUA) using the hardware supplied. The S60TR does include mounting hardware, but those brackets and screws are specifically designed for wall-mount installations—attaching the soundbar directly to a wall surface. If you’d like to position the soundbar on top of your console, you actually do not need to use the wall-mount brackets. Instead, you can simply rest the soundbar on the console shelf beneath your OLED TV. Here’s one troubleshooting step to ensure optimal performance and safety when doing so: Troubleshooting Step – Ensure Proper Clearance & Stability: Stable Surface: Place the S60TR on a flat, level section of your console that is at least 34″ wide (the soundbar itself is 33.5″). This gives it enough space so it won’t overhang or risk tipping. Ventilation & Heat Clearance: Leave at least 1″ of space between the top of the soundbar and the bottom edge of your TV. OLED TVs like the OLED55C4PUA can exhaust a little heat from their bottom vents, and the soundbar also vents heat from its top and rear panels. That 1″ gap prevents heat buildup. Speaker Alignment: Center the soundbar directly beneath the TV so that its left and right channels align with the edges of the OLED screen. This ensures balanced acoustics and maintains the intended soundstage. Cable Management: Use the rear-firing wire-clips on the S60TR to keep your HDMI (ARC/eARC), optical, or power cable neatly routed behind the console. Avoid pinching or bending cables at tight angles to prevent signal loss or damage. By following these steps, you’ll have the soundbar positioned securely and at the correct height for clear audio, without using the wall-mount hardware. If, at any point, you decide to attach it to the wall instead—say, below your TV—you can use the supplied wall-mount brackets and screws; just locate wall studs and fasten the brackets at a height that leaves a 1″ clearance above the soundbar so it doesn’t press against the OLED’s bottom edge. Should you encounter any stability concerns—such as the soundbar shifting when the rear speakers shake the floor—you could optionally place small non-slip rubber pads (available at most electronics or hardware stores) under the soundbar’s feet. These will prevent slipping without affecting its acoustic performance. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-5-1-channel-s60tr-home-theater-soundbar-with-wireless-subwoofer-and-rear-speakers-dolby-audio-black/6579924.p?skuId=6579924 If you have any further questions about mounting options or want guidance on the best cables to connect your OLED55C4PUA to the S60TR for Dolby Atmos or eARC, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport.
