Soundbar Placement
You can place the soundbar on any flat, stable surface near your TV.
There are three general placement options, illustrated above:
Face Front:
You can place the soundbar on a flat surface so it faces
forward. This placement is ideal for a shelf below, above or near the
television.
Face Up:
You can place the soundbar facing up—often in front of the
television. The bottom of the soundbar should face the listening area.
Check to ensure the soundbar does not block the television infrared
remote sensor. There should be no shelf or flat surface immediately
above the soundbar in this configuration.
Wall Mount:
The soundbar has two sturdy keyhole-shaped hanger
mounts on the back panel. With the additional owner-supplied
hardware, these two attachment points allow “on wall” placement or
secure attachment to a flat surface.

Precautions
• A safe, secure installation is the soundbar owner’s responsibility.
• Do not place any objects on top of a soundbar.
• Consider the finish of the surface that will support the soundbar. It is
the soundbar owner’s responsibility to insure that a surface finish that
contacts the soundbar is protected, should this be a concern of the
soundbar owner.
The contact area on the soundbar is made of inert synthetic materials
that typically do not react with furniture or wall finishes. But any wall
or surface finish can be altered by having a heavy object resting on
it for a long period of time. Place an appropriate barrier between any
surface and the soundbar if you are concerned about the finish of the
supporting surface.
• Use an unswitched AC outlet to provide power to a soundbar. With
the soundbar’s Auto Standby feature turned on, an soundbar will enter
its Standby state on or before 30 minutes of inactivity. A soundbar
uses less than 0.5 watt in Standby. Using a switched AC outlet to cut
off AC power to a soundbar system is not recommended. It delays
subsequent turn-on.

Soundbar Wall Mounting Information
The soundbar has two keyhole mounting sites on its back panel. You
can mount the soundbar onto two screwheads using these mounting
sites. A ZVOX Audio soundbar weighs between 15 and 20 pounds.
NOTE: It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the screws are in-
stalled into the wall or other surface securely and that the screwheads
are the correct size for the hanger mounts on the rear of the soundbar.
ZVOX Audio recommends your mounting sites be able to support at
least twice the weight of the soundbar.
