Placing The AccuVoice TV Speaker in Front of the TV.

Choose a place that lets you direct the ZVOX Speaker towards the TV viewers.

•  A safe, secure installation of the AccuVoice TV Speaker is the  

owner’s responsibility.

•  Do not place any objects on top of the AccuVoice TV Speaker.

Placement Options

ZVOX Speaker Wall Mounting Information

The AV157 speaker has two M3 threaded sockets in the enclosure back.  Two 

10mm length screws are provided for these sockets and with the correct 

keyhole sloted hardware you can use these sockets to secure the ZVOX 

AV157 speaker to most flat surfaces, like a wall or shelf.  Longer screws may 

be necessary 

NOTE:

 It is the ZVOX AV157 owner’s responsibility to ensure the 

any such mounting is safe and secure. Each of the two mounting sites should 

be able to secure a five pound (3 KG) object.

Headphone or Subwoofer Output Minijack

This minijack port provides a signal for headphones or an amplified subwoofer.  

The signal level from this output varies with the volume level of the ZVOX 

speaker.  This same port can be utilized to connect a Universal Bluetooth 

Transmitter/Receiver for a wireless audio experience to wireless headphones 

or for receiving music from a Smartphone or tablet. (Not included)

Note:

 Accuvoice 1 (AC1) feature is constantly enabled through the headphone 

out port.  If you wish to mute the output of the ZVOX speaker while listening to 

headphones, press and hold the MUTE button on the ZVOX speaker remote for 5 

seconds. (See more on page 6).  Compatible Subwoofers must have own power 

supply and a built in crossover frequency adjustment knob.  

TV to AV157 Audio Signal Cable Guide

The AV157 includes one optical digital signal cable and two analog signal 

cables. Two of these three cables will connect from most TVs or cable/

satellite set top boxes to the digital or analog input on the AV157.  In the rare 

instance your TV has an optical minijack audio output, an optical miniplug to 

standard optical plug cable is needed. (not supplied with the AV157 but sold 

seperately).

Duel Inputs Allows Two Audio Source Inputs

For instance:  

If you have your TV's optical digital cable connected to Input 1 on the ZVOX speaker, you can also connect to a second audio source output from the 

ZVOX speaker’s 2nd Input minijack. This allows you listen to a music-only sources without needing the TV on. This could be music from a smartphone, tablet,  a disc 

player or the “music only” channels from a cable or satellite set top box or computer.
When ready to hear an audio source connected to Input 2, press the INPUT button on the ZVOX remote to choose the second input. An analog signal source will 
appear as “In2A”.  A digital signal source will appear as “In1d”
