Regarding the adapters that come from Sony: you don't really need a huge flathead screwdriver to tighten them in. If you put them in hand-tight, they will tighten the rest of the way when you're torquing the screw that screws into them. Conversely, when you're removing the screws, it doesn't really matter how tight you torqued the adapters; they are most likely going to come out regardless.
Thank you Steve. I will check out your recommendations. This is a wall mount, but using an existing wall mount that has a swivel attachment with the bracket already attached that screws into the back of the TV
you made my day i was gonna almost send tv back...thnaks god i have watched your video,,why companies doing tyhis crazy things, i cant tell you enough thank you
I went through the same thing with the 85” Sony Bravia, the silver screws backed out when I was adjusting the black ones, I felt the back once are not long enough for the weight of the tv but I guess that’s how they are, it’s been 2 years no problems so far
Thanks for this great video. I bought a tv mount, but don’t know how to install it, left in the corner for a year. After watching this, realize I have this missing bolt need to buy 😅
Hello Steve, how would I search the piece that screws in the back of the TV once removing the screws that were installed at delivery. The piece once screwed into the back of the TV the screw will then go into that piece? I tried to search for it, but not sure what it is called. My new Sony Bravia 8 65" did not come with those pieces. Thank you
Cool that is a nice OLED TV! I am not familiar with that piece, but did find a few reference docs that may help. Are you doing a wall mount? If so, this is the official Sony bracket and instructions - it comes with the support bracket which is attached to the back of the BRAVIA 8. (there are two models so double check our exact model number) *Sony Wall-Mount Bracket* www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/I435/cbfb9bacb91cc7c44b7ef6767bbeaae7/I4351001M.pdf www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/I436/1ddb859d30e998366c31a4b9028b3342/I4361001M.pdf *Sony BRAVIA 8 Manuals here:* www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-oled-tvs-android-/k-65xr80#manuals Good luck with your new Sony BRAVIA!

Sorry to hear that... They should be included... I am assuming you are talking about the bolts/spacers - if so, mine were stuck in the foam packing material on the top next to the remote, and accessories. Worth double-checking that they are not stuck somewhere in the box. Otherwise; I found the silver VESA spacers on eBay and Walmart.com. Just Google search " Sony vesa spacers " and they should come up. -Good luck! 👍
Had to post the picture to Reddit... www.reddit.com/r/SonyBravia/comments/18qr85o/sony_vs_spacers_flush_against_back_of_the_tv/?context=3 Good luck and Merry Christmas! -Steve
Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I had not thought to try it. Does it hold fast? I was wondering because of the large gap that the VS mount fills. Thanks again! -Steve
No, my BRAVIA did not come with any additional black screws... Only the VS spacers in a bag. I can't imagine what they could be for. The feet do not need screws, they just snap into place. My BRAVIA manual is posted here. www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/kd-55x80ck/manuals Good luck, let us know if you crack the code!
Had my sony bravia kdl55w700b in my storage unit for 3 years. Finally took it out when moving into my new apartment. I never mounted it previously and realized I lost those spacers. Tried contacting sony they don't make the adapter for my TV any more:( wish there was a way around that.
Bummer! Sorry to hear that... They should be included... Mine were stuck in the foam packing material on the top next to the remote, and accessories. Worth double-checking that they are not stuck somewhere in the packaging. Otherwise; I found the spacers on eBay and Walmart.com. Search " *Sony vesa spacers* " and they should come up. -Good luck!
If you dont have a wide screwdriver or butterknife 😮 you can put the VS screws in hand tight then put in bracket reuse the screws from Sony and just tighten. They both will go in together. I feel it was designed like that. I mean I’m sure they knew that most people don’t have a screw that wide.
Yikes! Sorry to hear that. Not good. They should be included... Mine were stuck in the foam packing material on the top next to the remote, and accessories. Worth double checking that they are not stuck somewhere in the packaging. They are heavy little adaptors so you will notice them if they fall out of the box. -Good luck
Yes, absolutely use the silver sony provided VS mounting screws. Good luck with the setup! Checkout page 10 here: www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/F870/7954dd39acd2aa771683f801e9ccae99/F8701001M.pdf
Hmmm. Have not heard of that happening. You are correct, typically the screws you remove from the back of the TV fit into the VESA mount spacers. What model do you have? Some of the OLED models use different hardware.
Yes, it looks like this Bravia uses the same mounting hardware (should be included with the TV) - manual here: www.manualslib.com/manual/1100654/Sony-Kdl-55w829b.html?page=8#manual
Depende del modelo de televisor, algunos televisores Sony de 75 pulgadas no utilizan los soportes VS especiales. ¿Qué número de modelo tienes? Depending on the TV model, some of the Sony 75 inch TVs do not use the special VS mounts. What model number do you have?
Yes, the black srews were the same ones I removed from the back of the Sony TV (I think using the srews included with the stand would have worked fine- but figured I would use the originals).
Not for sure - but check the box for the mounting hardware, I am guessing it has the same type mounting hardware. If you are asking about the Universal Swivel TV Stand - it maxes out at 60 inch TVs and up to 88 lbs.
Sorry for the confusion! The VESA mounts are the same technique either way. I recently remounted our BRAVIA to the wall, using the same technique. Of course the big difference is mounting the wall bracket.
I genuinely don't know they made this design choice. All it does is make shit harder to find and then probably have to buy a replacement because you lost it after years of not using it

Fantastic! 🎉 So glad it helped you out.

Glad it worked out, it is a strange design... but seems to work!
Sure wish the mounting companies would provide better guidance on where to position the brackets on the back of the TV.
For sure. It is a trial and error process to get the TV to the right height / position.
Update.... this mount worked perfectly and we are enjoying the Sony BRAVIA TV. 😃
This confirmed that I was doing the right thing. My wall mount came with spacers but I'd much rather use the fittings that came with the TV.
Excellent! I agree to use the included Sony BRAVIA spacers.

@@stevestipstechtackle thank you man thank you so much
Lifesaver! Thank you!
So glad it helped!
my spacers don't inset flush and they are as tight as they will go. did your spacers tighten flush?
Actually, mine did not tighten down to be flush with the side of the TV. They do stick out slightly... Will see if I can post a picture.
Had to post the picture to Reddit...

great! thanks so much!@@stevestipstechtackle
so helpful!! thanks!
You are welcome, glad it helped!
I lost my adapters. You can buy longer screws and it works great. Just take one to HD and pick your length depending on the bracket.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I had not thought to try it. Does it hold fast? I was wondering because of the large gap that the VS mount fills. Thanks again! -Steve
@@stevestipstechtackle So far no issues.
Awesome! Probably saves a few bucks 💵 too! @@antoniosalinger3155
So my Bravia TV came with the black screws in the tv AND more black screws in a bag. These additional screws are shorter. What are they for?
No, my BRAVIA did not come with any additional black screws... Only the VS spacers in a bag. I can't imagine what they could be for. The feet do not need screws, they just snap into place.

This guys a life savor!
So glad I could help!
Hey mate, would you use the silver screw extenders for an 85 inch tv? I guess you would ? Thanks
Yes, assuming it is a Sony. The VS mounting hardware should be included in the box and is used to mount the TV to a swivel stand or with a wall mount.
I’m struggling to find where I can buy the silver recess bracket thing to put into the holes …it wasn’t supplied with the tv when I bought it
Bummer! Sorry to hear that... They should be included... Mine were stuck in the foam packing material on the top next to the remote, and accessories.

@@stevestipstechtackle I’m currently in curry’s as I type this message to find out if they sell them . Very strange design Sony have done
It is... seems like Sony likes to have its proprietary connections and setup - which makes things difficult for the consumer!
Thanks helped a lot
So glad it helped
hello my tv did not bring the vr supports, where can you get them?
Sorry to hear that... I did see the spacers on eBay and Walmart.com. Search "sony vesa spacers," they should come up.
Good luck!
-Steve
Except the screw that we’re originally screwed in do not fit the adapters that come with the tv
Ouch. That is not right! I can only speculate that it is Sony's mistake on the size of the screws or the VS mounts.
@@stevestipstechtackle yeah, that’s the way i see it
If you dont have a wide screwdriver or butterknife 😮 you can put the VS screws in hand tight then put in bracket reuse the screws from Sony and just tighten. They both will go in together. I feel it was designed like that. I mean I’m sure they knew that most people don’t have a screw that wide.
Brilliant! That sounds like the best way to do it.
This does work for wall mounting too?
@@itsatown8734 yes, same process for wall mounting. TV should have come with the large VS screws.
Those Sony silver adaptors were not included with my tv Sony Bravia 65".
Does anyone knows where they are located?
Yikes! Sorry to hear that. Not good. They should be included... Mine were stuck in the foam packing material on the top next to the remote, and accessories.

I bought a mount from the pipishell brand, should I put those silver screws before mounting the support? I have the sony a80k
Yes, absolutely use the silver sony provided VS mounting screws. Good luck with the setup!

Glad it helped out!
What if the screws are big for the adapter ? I thought that adapter was used at a spacer but it’s too big for the screws that came out the Tv smh
Hmmm. Have not heard of that happening. You are correct, typically the screws you remove from the back of the TV fit into the VESA mount spacers. What model do you have? Some of the OLED models use different hardware.
Thanks brother
Happy to help, it was not intuitive for me without the instructions handy.
Thank you

Just so everyone knows, the adaptors come with the TV.
Absolutely, they are! Thank you.
where can I get the extension bolt?
Try eBay or Walmart.com. Search "sony vesa spacers," they should come up.
Good luck!

We're the black screws you used to secure the tv to the mount included with your tv?
Yes, the black srews were the same ones I removed from the back of the Sony TV (I think using the srews included with the stand would have worked fine- but figured I would use the originals).
@@stevestipstechtackledid your tv also come with 4 additional, slightly different, black screws? Not sure if those should have been used instead.
does this work for the x80k 65 inch
Not for sure - but check the box for the mounting hardware, I am guessing it has the same type mounting hardware. If you are asking about the Universal Swivel TV Stand - it maxes out at 60 inch TVs and up to 88 lbs.
Saved my life. Started trying to put the mounting brackets on the tv before I open the rest of the contents, so I didn’t see these. 😅
Me too!
works with wall mount ??
Yes, the Sony mounting hardware does work with wall mounting - absolutely!
Y anchor to wall if you’re around the San Andreas crack or fault ooops
Ha!
Also, it is always a good idea to anchor if you have small kiddos!
It's almost like insurance is a thing that exists
Was it only me that watched this video thinking it was for wall mount?
me too
Sorry for the confusion! The VESA mounts are the same technique either way. I recently remounted our BRAVIA to the wall, using the same technique. Of course the big difference is mounting the wall bracket.
I genuinely don't know they made this design choice. All it does is make shit harder to find and then probably have to buy a replacement because you lost it after years of not using it
Absolutely, I was scratching my head too. Seems like an extra piece that could built into the back of the TV. 🤔
Use a chisel :)
😂 that may work too!
I do appreciate your video, but your lack of a proper screwdriver, phew.
😂 That is true! 💯
Those are actually bolts, not screws.
😀 That they are, thank you!
Shit. Good to know!
Ha! Glad to help!
