USER MANUAL SoundBase 670 Zvox

4a. Infrared Remote Control Features of the SoundBase

Learning:

You can "teach" the SoundBase to respond to your current TV remote control for the following functions: Volume, Mute (on/off) and Power (on/off). See the separate sheet for instructions. After this "learning" process, you will not need the SoundBase remote control for adjusting Volume, Mute and Power. Teaching the SoundBase to respond to your preferred remote does not affect the included SoundBase remote. The SoundBase remote will still provide its full range of adjustments.

Input Selection:

Pressing the INPUT button allows you to select a different input. Inputs are selected in the following order:

Input 1—digital (optical jack)

Input 2—digital (optical jack)

Input 3—digital (conxial jack)

Input 1—analog (RCA jacks)

Input 5—analog (RCA jacks) Input 6—analog (front minijack) Bluetooth device

Remote Control Capabilities

Mute

Bass set at -2

Treble set at 1

Volume

The VOLUME buttons on the SoundBase remote control operate in the normal manner.

Power (STANDBY)

The Power button on the SoundBase remote control toggles the SoundBase between STANDBY and On. Note: A SoundBase will automatically enter STANDBY if the selected input is silent for longer than approximately 30 minutes. A SoundBase in STANDBY will automatically turn back on if it senses a volume adjustment or power command from the "learned" remote control or the SoundBase remote control.

Mute

The MUTE button on the SoundBase remote control operates in the normal manner. When MUTE is active, the display will show a blinking -00- for 20 seconds.

Bass and Treble

The Bass control has a range of -1 to 4.

The Treble control has a range of -4 to 4.

Note: The bass output of a SoundBase system is affected by its position within a room. You may find it sounds best with slightly more or less bass than the neutral setting.

Surround Settings

There are three SURROUND levels:

• Surround One ("So 1") has low virtual surround effect and strong vocals. Use this setting if vocal clarity is important to you.
• Surround Two ("Sd 2") has moderate virtual surround effect and moderate vocals. Most people prefer this setting for most program material.
• Surround Three ("5d 3") has strong virtual surround effect and moderate vocals. Many people prefer this setting when watching movies.

Output Leveling

Press this button to prevent large changes in volume. When engaged, it boosts quiet dialog and lowers the output of loud commercial breaks. It also reduces volume swings between cable or satellite channels. This feature can be used along with any of the three Surround settings.

Accuvoice

Press this button to increase the clarity of most voices.

Pressing Accuvoice overrides the current Surround setting. A second press returns the SoundBase to the last-used Surround setting.

5 SUB OUTPUT AND STEREO SIGNAL OUTPUT. If your powered subwoofer has both Left and Right inputs, the SUB OUTPUT of the SoundBase should be connected to both inputs via a "Y" adapter. The STEREO SIGNAL OUTPUT supplies an audio signal for use with another another audio system or wireless headphones. The signal level from both outputs varies along with the volume setting on the SoundBase.

5. Digital Audio Troubleshooting

TV sets with no audio output:

You should check the program sources connected to the TV for an audio output (cable box, disc player, game box). Many cable boxes and DVD/Blu-ray players have both analog and digital audio outputs. If you connect directly to a set top box and a DVD/Bluray player, you need to switch inputs on the TV and the SoundBase.

Bluray disc audio:

If you don't get sound from a Bluray disc, the digital audio on that disc may be encoded using a proprietary format. In this case, use the Bluray disc menu or the Bluray player menu to select Dolby Digital or PCM digital output.

Internet streaming HD video audio:

If your TV features a internet connection and displays HD streaming content, it may be necessary to select Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio in the TV or from the streaming provider's sound options.

"Teach" the SoundBase to respond to your preferred remote controls commands (Volume/Mute/Power).

1. Speaker placement

You can place the SoundBase on any flat, stable surface near your TV. If the TV base is small enough, you can place the SoundBase system on a piece of furniture and then place the TV on top of the SoundBase.

Alternate Warnings—This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third grounding pin. This plug will only fill in a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not deal the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
15. Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure variable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be pressed into fault removal such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is preceded or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

21. No asked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

- 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 SoundBase and possibly a TV. Place an appropriate barrier between the surface and the feet of the SoundBase 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. ZVOX Audio, Inc., cannot be responsible for any use of the service 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 outlet to provide power to a SoundBase. If Auto Standby is turned on, a SoundBase will always enter its Standby state after 30 minutes of inactivity. A SoundBase uses less than 0.5 watt in Standby. Use of a switched AC outlet to cut off AC power to a SoundBase system may erase user preferences and delays subsequent turn-on
• A TV heavier than 140 lbs (64 kg) should not be placed directly on top of a SoundBase 870 and 770.
• A TV heavier than 120 lbs (55 kg) should not be placed directly on top of a SoundBase 670.
• A TV heavier than 110 lbs (50 kg) should not be placed directly on top of a SoundBase 570.
• A flat panel TV has a high center of gravity. Please confirm the furnishing supporting your TV and the SoundBase is stable and secure. The surface supporting the SoundBase/TV combination should not move in any direction.
• All 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 tell 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 SoundBase. You should not disconnect or change any video program source connected to your TV.

Optical Digital Output

Almost all HDTVs use an optical digital audio output, which you connect to the Soundbase's optical AI using an optical cable.

Coaxial Digital Output

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

Program Sources with an Analog Audio Output

If your TV set does not have a digital audio output, you could connect the TV set's analog audio output to an analog audio input on the SoundBase system.

An analog audio input on the SoundBase is also useful for connecting portable devices with an audio output. For instance, the headphone output of a smartphone or music player could be connected to the SoundBase front panel minijack. This requires a cable with a stereo miniplug at both ends. The minijack headphone output from a TV could be connected to one of the rear panel inputs. This requires a cable with a stereo miniplug at one end (to fit the TV headphone jack) and Red/White RCA plugs at the other end (to connect to the ZVOX back panel).

You can connect an RCA jack analog audio output to Analog Input 4.

OR

You can connect a minijack analog audio output to Analog Input 4.

3. Connect the AC cord

After making the signal connection, connect the AC power cord to the back of the speaker. Then connect the AC power cord to an AC power receptacle. Turn on the speaker using the power switch on the back panel next to the AC cord.
