Quick Setup Guide
1 Place The ZVOX Speaker
You can place the ZVOX speaker anywhere in
front of your TV. It can also be placed on any
level surface near the TV – above, below or to
the left or right. It doesn’t have to be centered
in front of the TV. The ZVOX speaker performs
best if it faces the people watching the TV.
2 Connect Power Cord to
the ZVOX Speaker
Connect the power cord to the DC jack on
the back.
Then connect the AC plug into an AC power
receptacle. The speaker will then power on
and a white light on the front of the speaker
will turn on briey, then will be replaced
briey by a green light.
3 Connect the Optical Signal
Cable
Most TVs have an optical digital output jack
(sometimes called “TOSLINK”) on the back
panel. The supplied optical cable has a square-
like end which plugs into the TV and a round end
which goes into the ZVOX Speaker. The optical
cable might, or might not, have small clear
plastic covers protecting the metal tips. Simply
remove the covers before connecting the cable.
NOTE 1: The optical jack on your TV is not
perfectly square. You need to align the square-
like end of the optical cable to the orientation of
the TV’s optical jack. Once it is aligned, the
cable’s plug should slip into the jack with a slight
push. You may hear and feel a small “click” once
the cable is inserted completely
NOTE 2: If your TV does not have an optical
jack, you can use one of the supplied analog
signal cables. See instructions later in this
manual.
4 Turn off your TV’s
Internal Speakers
Some TVs require you to go into the audio menu
of the TV and turn off the TV’s internal speakers
in order to get an audio signal from the optical
jack. Also, turning off the TV speakers prevents
an ‘echo’ caused by both the ZVOX speaker
and the TV speaker playing together. Using the
remote that originally came with the television,
access the settings and turn off the internal TV
speakers. If you are unsure how to do this, go
to zvox.com/setup and look for “TV-Speaker
Hookup Videos.” Or get your TV’s model number
from the rear panel and call us at 1-866-367-
9869.

5 IMPORTANT: Set Audio
Output to PCM Using TV’s
Menu Screen.
Using the TV set’s remote (not your cable box
remote), click the Menu button. On the menu
screen select the Sound option, and then select
the “Expert Settings” or “Advanced Audio”
option. Then select Digital Output Audio Format
– and then select PCM. When you have done
this, simply push the Menu button one more
time to return to your normal screen.
For further assistance go to zvox.com/setup and
look for “TV-Speaker Hookup Videos.” Or call us
