Analog Audio Output

You can connect a TV set’s analog audio output to the analog audio input on the the

soundbar (left and right RCA jacks). The analog audio output on your TV will be a 1/8 inch

stereo minijack or a pair of RCA jacks. The two illustrations below show the appearance of

these two audio output connections.

1. Speaker placement

You can place the soundbar on any at, stable surface near your TV.

There are three general placement options, illustrated above:

Face Front You can place the soundbar on a at surface so it faces forward.

This placement is ideal for a shelf below, above or near the

television.

Face Up You can place the soundbar facing up—often in front of the

television. The bottom of the soundbar should face the listening

area. Check to ensure the soundbar does not block the television

infrared remote sensor. There should be no shelf or at surface

immediately above the soundbar in this conguration.

Wall Mount The soundbar has two sturdy keyhole-shaped hanger mounts on

the back panel. You can hang the soundbar on two screwheads

that are securely installed in a wall or other vertical surface.

• Consider the nish of the surface that will support the soundbar. It is the

soundbar owner's responsibility to insure that a surface nish that contacts

the soundbar is protected, should this be a concern of the soundbar owner.

The contact area on the soundbar is made of inert synthetic materials that

typically do not react with furniture or wall nishes. But any wall or surface nish

can be altered by having any heavy object resting on it for a long period of time.

Place an appropriate barrier between any surface and the soundbar if you

are concerned about the nish of the supporting surface.

• A safe, secure installation is the soundbar owner’s responsibility.

• Use an unswitched AC outlet to provide power to a soundbar. With the

soundbar’s Auto Standby feature turned on, an soundbar will enter its Standby

state on or before 30 minutes of inactivity. A soundbar uses less than 0.5 watt in

Standby. Using a switched AC outlet to cut off AC power to a soundbar system

is not recommended. It delays subsequent turn-on.

• Do not place any objects on top of a soundbar.

15. Grounding or Polarization–This product may be

equipped with a polarized alternating-current line

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).

This plug will t into the power outlet only one way.

This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the

plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the

plug should still fail to t, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

Alternate Warnings–This product is equipped with

a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a

third (grounding) pin. This plug will only t into 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 defeat the safety purpose of the

grounding-type plug.

16. Ventilation–Slots and openings in the cabinet

are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable

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

placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase

or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the

manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

17. The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the

disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain

readily operable.

18. CLASS II apparatus with double insulation, and no

protective earth provided.

19. CAUTION: Danger of explosion if the remote control

battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the

same or equivalent type.

20. WARNING: The remote control battery (battery or

batteries or battery pack) shall not be exposed to

excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.

21. No naked ame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including ampliers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two

blades with one wider than the other. A grounding

type plug has two blades and a third grounding

prong. The wide blade or the third prong are

provided for your safety. If the provided plug does

not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specied by

the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specied by the

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when

moving the cart/apparatus combination to

avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has

been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate

normally, or has been dropped.

2. Connecting your TV to the SB380 Soundbar

All current TVs have an audio output. It is likely that one of the cables provided with the

soundbar can be used to connect the TV audio output to an input on the soundbar. DO NOT

disconnect any video program source connected to your TV (like a cable or satellite set top

box, DVD/Bluray or similar).

Stable Placement. Do not place the

ZVOX system on an unstable cart,

stand, bracket or table. The ZVOX

system may fall, causing serious

injury to a child or adult and serious

damage to the product. Do not use

the ZVOX system on any unstable surface.

The soundbar has two keyhole-shaped mounting

locations on the back panel. These mounting sites

will securely hold a screwhead that is no larger
