The ZVOX 575 HSD grille should face the listening area.

Power Connection

1.Connect the AC power cord to the 120V~60Hz Power Connector on the back of the ZVOX 575 HSD cabinet.

Warning: Don’t plug AC cord into outlet before it is connected to the power connector on the rear of the unit.

2. After you have confirmed the AC power cord is properly connected to ZVOX 575 HSD, connect the AC power cord plug into a convenient AC receptacle.

3. After you have made the necessary audio signal connections (see below), set the POWER switch on the back of the ZVOX 575 HSD to ON.

Audio Signal Connection

There are three ways to connect an audio signal to the ZVOX 575 HSD.

1) Digital Coaxial – labeled Coaxial

2) Digital Optical – labeled Optical

3) Analog Stereo – labeled Input 1

Coaxial Digital. Use a coaxial digital connecting cable (not supplied). Connect one end to the coaxial digital output of your TV or other source. Connect the other end to the ZVOX 575 HSD “Coaxial” input.

Optical Digital. Use an optical or “TOSLINK” connecting cable (not supplied). Connect one end to the optical digital output of your TV or other source. Connect the other end to the ZVOX 575 HSD “Optical” input.

Analog Stereo (Input 1). Plug the supplied analog connecting cable into the red and white jacks labeled “Input 1” on the back of the ZVOX 575 HSD. Use the red plug for the red jack (right channel). Use the other plug for

the white jack (left channel). Plug the opposite ends of the cable into

the “Audio Out” jacks of your TV or other audio source following the same color scheme.

Note: connecting an analog stereo signal to the ZVOX 575 HSD may allow you to control the sound level produced with your TV remote. A headphone output on a TV can also be used as a variable analog audio output if the sound level of the headphones is controlled by the TV’s remote control.

A connecting cable matching the headphone output jack is necessary in this case.

Controlling The Audio Sound Level

A standard digital audio signal (Coaxial or Optical) and a typical analog audio output are fixed level. The level of the sound produced by the ZVOX 575 HSD should be adjusted using its supplied IR remote control.

Note: A universal or programmable/learning remote can be substituted to control the ZVOX 575 HSD and all of your TV and other connected devices. One brand of universal remote controls containing the ZVOX audio IR codes is Logitech® Harmony®. The ZVOX 575 HSD will respond to the following preprogrammed audio remote codes listed in other universal remote controls: candle 1004/hisense 1237/aiwa 1036. Not all universal remote controls contain these codes.

TV Audio Settings

Turn off the TV’s internal speakers

Push the MENU button on the TV’s remote control and navigate to the AUDIO setting options. Choose INTERNAL SPEAKER: OFF (the wording may vary).

Analog audio option–“FIXED” versus “VARIABLE”

If you are using an analog signal connection, there may be an AUDIO setting option to select AUDIO OUT as VARIABLE (the wording may vary). This is sometimes labeled AOV. Variable audio output allows your TV’s remote control to adjust the listening volume.

OUTPUT jack

Use this jack to connect an external powered subwoofer, if desired. This jack supplies a full-range monaural analog audio signal. Set the subwoofer’s crossover (sometimes labeled “Low Pass”) to 50 Hz or lower, then adjust the subwoofer’s output to blend well with the ZVOX 575 HSD.

Remote Control

1.Insert the AAA batteries inside the remote control.

2.Turn on the ZVOX 575 HSD by pushing the power button on the remote control. A blue LED light should come on.

3.Auto ON/OFF Function: In normal operation, the ZVOX 575 HSD enters standby mode 5-8 minutes after turning off the audio program. The front panel light will turn from blue to green to indicate standby mode. When you turn on a new program, the light will turn blue again and the program will play. To defeat this “automatic standby” mode, press the AUTO ON/OFF button once (the light will blink). To restore the setting, press the button again.

Using The Remote Control

The ZVOX remote control has “+” and “-” buttons to control four ranges.

VOLUME PHASECUE SUBWOOFER TREBLE

The blue light on the speaker will blink with each adjustment step up or down. It will stop blinking when the maximum or minimum setting has been reached.

1.VOLUME: Adjust the ZVOX 575 HSD remote VOLUME buttons as desired. When the MUTE button is pushed, the speaker output is silenced and a blue light will blink until output is restored with another press of the MUTE button.

If your audio source is variable: First, set the volume on the TV (or other audio source) to about 3/4 of its full range. Then adjust the ZVOX 575 HSD remote VOLUME buttons until the output is as loud as you require. From this point forward, use the TV remote to control the volume. Use the ZVOX remote as required to adjust the other audio qualities (PhaseCue, Subwoofer and Treble).

2.PHASECUE: Adjust the level of virtual surround with these two buttons. As you increase the

PhaseCue level, the apparent soundfield will expand well to the left and right of the ZVOX 575 HSD. The effect is most obvious with DVD movies and live action TV programming. News broadcasts, talk shows and sitcoms do not have much stereo content. PhaseCue may have little or no effect on these programs.

NOTE: IF YOU FIND THAT CROWD NOISE OR MOVIE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE “DROWNING OUT” THE DIALOG, TRY TURNING DOWN THE PHASECUE LEVEL. THIS WILL RESTORE CLARITY TO DIALOG.

3. SUBWOOFER: Adjust the bass output of the ZVOX 575 HSD as desired. The control has nine steps. Most users will find a single setting that works for most audio programs. If you use an external subwoofer, leave this control in the mid point setting (five steps up from minimum), then adjust the external subwoofer to your preferred bass output.

4.TREBLE: Adjust as desired. Nine adjustment steps are available and the difference between each step is small. Most users will find a single setting that works for most audio programs.
