Connect To Your Cable Or Satellite TV Set Top Box
If your TV’s audio output is inaccessible (on a wall-mounted TV, for instance) or
unavailable, you can connect the audio output of your cable or satellite set top
box to the ZVOX speaker. Most set top boxes have an “audio output”, in addition
to the HDMI output intended for use with the TV.
To connect between the cable box red and white jacks and the ZVOX speaker,
identify the cable supplied with the SB380 that has a red and white RCA plugs at
each end. Refer to page 3 to help with cable identification.
Follow the “Make The Connection” instructions in the previous column.
Notes:
Many cable/Satellite boxes also have digital/optical outputs. This is also
an option for connection to your Set Top Box.
Do not
use your cable remote to adjust volume from the ZVOX speaker. Use the
cable remote to set the indicated TV volume at about 40% of its range. Then use
the ZVOX remote control to adjust volume from the ZVOX speaker.
The SB380’s Second Digital Input Feature
The optical audio output of a second audio source (like a Bluray/
DVD player or many portable audio players) can be connected to
Optical Input 2 on the SB380 soundbar. A source connected to this
input can be heard by pressing the INPUT button on the remote
control until you see
In2d
on the SB380 soundbar’s display.
