Alternative Ways To Connect The ZVOX Soundbar SB380
If your TV doesn’t have an optical output, here are some other options:
Minijack Analog Audio Out
Many TVs have an audio output minijack (sometimes labeled “3.5mm”) or
headphone jack. Use the supplied “analog miniplug to left and right RCA
plugs” cable for this connection. Insert the miniplug end of the cable into the
TV’s audio out minijack. Insert the red and white RCA plugs at the other end
of the cable into the SB380’s red and white RCA jacks labeled “ANALOG
INPUT”.
Once you have connected the cable to the ZVOX speaker, follow step 4
on page 3 of this manual. After you have turned on the ZVOX speaker,
press the INPUT button on the ZVOX speaker remote control until you see
“
In3A
”appear. This is the red/white RCA jacks input.
Volume Adjustment Note:
A headphone jack’s output always responds to
the TV’s remote control. Use your TV’s remote control to set the TV volume
indication to about 40% of its full range. Then use the ZVOX remote control to
adjust the volume level.
Do not
use your TV remote to adjust volume.
Red and White RCA Jack Analog Audio Out
Some TVs use red/white RCA jacks for the analog audio output. Be sure to
locate red and white jacks on the TV marked “OUTPUT” (not “INPUT”). Next,
identify the supplied analog cable with red and white RCA plugs at each end
(see page 3 for guidance).
Make The Connection
Insert the red and white plugs at one end of the cable into the red and white
RCA jacks on the TV labeled “OUT”.
Insert the red and white RCA plugs
at the other end of the cable into the SB380’s red and white RCA jacks
labeled “ANALOG INPUT”.
Once you have connected the analog signal cable to the ZVOX speaker, follow
step 4 on page 3.
After you have turned on the ZVOX speaker, press
the INPUT button on the ZVOX speaker remote control until you see
“
