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 phono 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).

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.

• 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 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 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 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 SoundBase. You

should not disconnect or change any video program source connected to your TV.

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 ﬁt 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 ﬁt, 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 ﬁt 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, ﬁre or the like.

21. No naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

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 ampliﬁers) 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 ﬁt 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 speciﬁed by

the manufacturer.

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

bracket, or table speciﬁed 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 qualiﬁed 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.
