LCD TV wall mount

We used our new trailer last weekend for the first time and my son took along his Playstation 3 to hook up to the Toshiba 32AV502RZ. It is a 32" LCD. We also have the newest Concertone ZX700 with the Game switch. Despite reading through the manuals and hooking up the PS3 to different jacks, we couldn't get the PS3 to work. Has anyone had this problem? My son was really disappointed.

On another point, the TV is fastened to the wall, and all the jacks on the back of the TV are not accessible. Can anyone recommend a swing out wall mount for this TV?

Amazon has some really nice ones for cheap, dont go to walmart or anywhere else, they are way over priced. Buy them off the internet...The one I bought is a Peerless brand for my LED...Check out this one on Amazon: Peerless SA740P Articulating LCD Wall Mount for 22-40" LCD Screens.. Its rated pretty high..

Try this:

Set the ZX700 on AV1
Select the proper input with the sliding selector switch on the input plate
Switch to TV input to video 1

Worked for me to display pictures from my digital camera.

Seeing as you are in Canada, if you have a Superstore or Loblaws near by, and if they have an electronics department, check in there for the TV swings. I got mine there and it was a double hinge, tilting unit, brand name, for $67.00. Anywhere else was $150.00 plus.

Hmmm. I'm still wondering how to swing or demount the TV from the wall/mount. The dealer got it up there, so how do you get it down?

I had a problem hooking up my cables too, had to cut a piece of the mount off w/ a hacksaw to get at the inputs. It is still stable.

Our TV was mounted on the wall with a special bracket and a restraining cable that is screwed into the wall and attached again with a screw to the TV. Un-screw the cable from the wall and grasp the TV on each side and slide the TV up about 2" and it will come off. It is attached also to the Concertone by 3 removable RCA cables and it is also plugged into a hydro outlet. I ordered a swing mount from a company in the states that makes mounts specifically for the Toshiba that came with the trailer. I did a google search to find it.

I recently bought 2 Sylvania wall mounts. They work for any tv up to 27" and 40 lbs. Got a deal at BJ's for $33. They're available on Amazon with free ship if you have prime membership. They mounted easily and have a leveling bubble. They rotate and tilt to any contortion that I would ever need. Here's the link.

Amazon.com: Sylvania SYL-MA2790B Articulating Mount for 13'' to 27'' Displays (Black): Electronics

BTW has Hokiehall surfaced yet? I fear after last nights game he may be at the bottom of one of his beer barrels. Tough loss in the last minute.

Here's another Sylvania mount with similar specs for only $26.99 on Amazon. It tilts up and down and pans side to side, but doesn't appear to have the longer extension arm.
