Simple Setup -Just Four Steps
Place
the
SoundBase.
Connect the
SoundBase
to
your
TV
and/or
audio
devices.
1.
Speaker
placement
Learn
the
features and
controls
of
the
ZVOX sys
tem
.
"Teach"
th
e SoundBase
to
respond
to
your
preferred remote
controls commands
(Volume/Mute/Power).
You can place the Sound
Base
on
any flat, stable surface near your
TV.
If
the
TV base is small
enough, you can place the Sound
Base system on a piece
of
furniture and then place the TV
on
top
of
the
Sound
Base.
• Consider the surface that will support the SoundBase. It is
the
SoundBase owner's
responsibility
to
insure that a furniture finish is unaffected
by
supporting the combined
weight
of
a Sound
Base and possibly a
T\1.
Place an appropriate barrier between the surface
and the feet
of
the Sound
Base
if
you are in doubt. The
four
support pads
on
the bottom
of
a SoundBase are a soft, inert synthetic material that does not react with typical furniture
finishes. But some furniture finishes can be deformed
or
altered
by
having any heavy
object resting on them for a long period
of
time.
"NO
XAudio, Inc. cannot
be
responsible
for any change in the appearance
of
any supporting surface finish that may
occur
after a
SoundBase is placed upon the surface.
• A safe installation is the SoundBase owner's responsibility.
• Use
an
unswitched AC
ou
tlet
to
provide power
to
a Sound
Base. If Auto Standby is turned
on, a SoundBase will always enter its Standby state after 30 minutes of inactivity. A
SoundBase usesless than 0.5
watt
in Standby. Use
of
a switched AC outlet
to
cut
off AC
power
to
a SoundBase system mayerase user preferences and delays subsequent turn-on.
• A TV heavier than
70
lbs(32 kg) should not
be
placed directly
on
top
of
a Sound
Base 450.
• A TV heavier than
50
lbs(23 kg) should not
be
placed directly on
top
of
a Sound
Base 350.
• A flat panel
TV
has a high center
of
gravity. Please confirm the furnishing supporting
yourTV and the Sound
Base is stable and secure. The surface supporting the
SoundBase/TV combination should not movein any direction.
• A
ll
TV
manufacturers recommend that a flat panel TV be anchored
to
a secure vertical
surface with a tether. This prevents a household accident from causing a TV to fall
off
its
supporting surface. ZVOX Audio recommends you heed this recommendation and all other
installation recommendations made
by
the TV manufacturer.
2. Connecting
your
TV
to
the
SoundBase
Almost all HDTVs have an audio output, which you can connect
to
your
Sound
Base.
You
should
not
disconnect or change any video program source connected
to
your
TV.

A few TVs, set
top
boxes and DVD/Biu-ray players have a coaxial digital audio output.
You
can connect this output
to
the coaxial input on the SoundBase using a cable with an RCA
plug
at
each end.

Your SoundBase has both analog and digitalaudio inputs. The majority of SoundBase owners connect between the optical jack on a
TV and the optical input jack on the SoundBase. This page describes audio output types found on a TV or Set Top Box (opticaldigital,
coaxial digital
and analog) and the cable needed to connect to a SoundBase. Any of these audiooutputsprovides excellent fidelity.
Important Notes
1
Where Is The
Audio Output?
Most lVs have an optical
digital audio output, while
a few have a coaxial digital
audio output instead.
You
could also use an analog
audio output
on a lY, or
an audio output on a cable
or satellite set top box.
Analog Versus Digital
Audio Outputs
A digital audio output
provides the "best" signal
but the audible advantage
compared
to analog audio
is typically small. Ifyou find
it more convenient
to make
an analog audio connection
to the SoundBase, then use
it. Dialog clarity should
be
equally good using either
a digital
or analog signal.
Digital audio can
be an
advantage if you
want more
audio dynamic range.
Pa~r~ng w1th a 0 Bluetooth dev1ce
You see r.l appear on the SoundBase when the Bluetooth®
input is selected. The "bLUE" flashes ifthe SoundBase is not
paired with a Bluetooth device. If your Bluetooth device has a dis-
play, the SoundBase appears as "ZVOX". The SoundBase display
stops flashing when it pairs with the Bluetooth device.

Your ZVOX SoundBase®system is equipped with a
Bluetooth®receiver that allows it to play music wire-
lessly from your smart phone, tablet, laptop computer
or other Bluetooth equipped audio devices.
•
To
start the Bluetooth connection process, use the
INPUT button on your remote control (
or
the control
module on the front
of
the SoundBase) to select the
Bluetooth
input
~
).
Keep pushing the INPUT but-
ton until the SoundBase display reads "bLUE."
• Nowfollow the directions for your Bluetooth device
to "pair" to the SoundBase. This typically involves
going to "Settings" then the "Biuetooth Settings" and
choosing the "ZVOX" listing when itappears on the
list
of
available devices.
• The "bLUE" symbol on the SoundBase display will
flash during the connection process. Once the con-
nection is made the "bLUE" symbol should stop flash-
ing -and your device should indicate "Connected" by
the "ZVOX" listing.
A SoundBase can remember "pairing" with up to five
different Bluetooth devices. The system will connect
more quickly to a Bluetooth device that has previously
been paired with the system.
We
stronglyrecommend thatyou have only one
Bluetooth-transmitting device operating in the same
room as the SoundBase. Having two Bluetooth de-
vices "on" in the same room as the SoundBase can
lead to an interrupted signal connection. Turn
off
Blue-
tooth transmission from other Bluetooth devices in the
same room. If your SoundBase drops a connection to
a Bluetooth device, check to see ifan additional de-
vice like a phone
or
tablet is present in the same room
(or even in a nearby room).
Using Bluetooth
wireless
audio
with
your
ZVOX
Sound
Base
system.
Ifyou wish to connect to a different Bluetooth-
equipped device, turn Bluetooth on from the new
device and turn Bluetooth
off
on the previous device.
Troubleshooting
suggestions
if
Bluetooth
won't
connect.
• Be sure the device is within range
of
the Sound-
Base. The closer the device is to the SoundBase, the
better. The device may need to be 20 feet
or
closer.
• Be sure the SoundBase input is set to "bLUE."
• Be sure the Bluetooth function on your device is
activated.
• Ifyour device indicates that it has connected -but
then disconnects, try re-connecting the device.
If
repeated attempts to connect don't work, try the fol-
lowing steps:
-Turn the SoundBase
off
using the Power button on
the remote control. Wait a few seconds, then turn it
back on. Repeat the Bluetooth connection process.
-Ifthere are other Bluetooth devices nearby, tempo-
rarily de-activate their Bluetooth function.
-Clear other Bluetooth sound systems from the pair-
ing list on your Bluetooth device (implement the option
"Ignore This Device"
).
-On your device, turn Bluetooth OFF, wait about 30
seconds, then turn Bluetooth back ON.
Note: Consistent Bluetooth reception can be de-
graded by other nearby sources
of
radio frequency
interference. A wifi router
or
radio-frequency remote
control near to the SoundBase can create interference
that reduces the effective range
of
the SoundBase's
Bluetooth reception. Infrared remote controls will NOT
cause interference with the Bluetooth reception.
