TV: Rear 19″ LCD TV Swap – 1997 U-270

By Tim Fiedler 11/5/2008

I recently replaced my rear TV with a 19 inch LCD. I used a 19″ Sharp HDTV,  pretty easy change with no cabinet modifications.

  1. Remove the old rear TV from the cabinet – access Panel is in the closet – four screws (6?-8?) to take out the panel and you have access to rear or bedroom TV – I have hex head screws, not Phillips in mine.
  2. Installed flat piece of plywood from Inside – screw to the face of the original cabinet (don’t use too long of screws or drill too deep) this fills original hole from the inside cabinet – I painted it black before install
  3. Install wall mount for the flat screen on plywood that you just installed in the cabinet – simple surface mount from outside – a few screws and you are done
  4. The drill access hole in same plywood (the hole will be behind the TV and not visible once you hang the TV on the bracket)
  5. Run TV power and antennae connections back into original wiring in cabinet
  6. Mount TV on the bracket
