1 Place The ZVOX Speaker
You can place the ZVOX speaker anywhere in front of your TV. It can also be placed on any level surface near the TV above, below or to the left or right. It doesn't have to be centered in front of the TV. The ZVOX speaker performs best if it faces the people watching the TV.

Quick Setup Guide

Connect your TV to the AV855 using one of the two cable options.
1. Optical.
2. HDMI ARC.
NOTE 1: Using your TV's HDMI ARC or Audio Return Channel port allows you to use your TV Remote to control the power, volume and mute functions of the speaker. NOTE: To ensure the HDMI Connection option working correctly please use an HDMI Version 2.1 (or later) cable.
NOTE 2: The optical Jack on your TV is not perfectly square. You need to align the square-like end of the optical cable to the orientation of the TV's optical Jack. Once it is aligned, the cable's plug should slip into the Jack with a slight push. You may hear and feel a small "click" once the cable is inserted completely.
NOTE 3: If your TV does not have either an Optical or HDMI port you may refer to the alternative connections on page 2 of manual.

4 Turn off your TV's Internal Speakers
Some TVs require you to go into the audio menu of the TV and turn off the TV's internal speakers in order to get an audio signal from the optical jack. Also, turning off the TV speakers prevents an `echo' caused by both the ZVOX speaker and the TV speaker playing together. Using the remote that originally came with the television, access the settings and turn off the internal TV speakers. If you are unsure how to do this, go to zvox.com/setup and look for "TV-Speaker Hookup Videos." Or get your TV's model number from the rear panel and email us at info@zvoxaudio.com.

Minijack Analog Audio Out
Some TVs have a 3.5mm audio output jack or a headphone jack. Insert one end of the supplied analog "Miniplug to Miniplug" cable into the TV's audio out minijack. Insert the miniplug at the other end of the cable into the ZVOX speaker's rear input jack labeled LINE IN.
If the TV has a headphone jack, you will want to make sure that the TV's volume is turned up to 50 to 75 % of maximum volume to make sure that the ZVOX speaker is receiving a strong audio signal to amplify.

Red and White RCA Jack Analog Audio Out
Some TV models use red and white RCA jacks for the analog audio output. Be sure you have located red and white jacks on the TV that are marked as an "OUTPUT" (not "INPUT"). Next, identify the cable supplied with the ZVOX speaker that has a stereo miniplug at one end and red and white RCA plugs at the other end.

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.

Make The Connection
Insert the end of the cable with red and white plugs into the red and white jacks on the TV labeled "OUT". Insert the miniplug at the other end of the cable into the ZVOX speaker input jack labeled LINE IN.

You can connect via Optical Digital Out OR Analog connection. Optical Digital will achieve better results.
To connect between the set top box red and white jacks and the ZVOX speaker, identify the cable supplied with the ZVOX speaker that has a stereo miniplug at one end and red and white RCA plugs at the other end. Follow the "Make The Connection" instructions in the previous column.

USB Flash Drive

USB Input
Insert a USB drive to the AV855's USB port to play back MP3 music files. The FWD button on the remote will advance to the next track. The BACK button will return to the beginning of the track. The MUTE button will act as a PLAY/PAUSE button. MP3 files may be in the root of the driver OR within folders.

Manual Off Operation
The AV855 is equipped with an Auto On/Off function. If a signal is received at either the Optical input or the analog input, the AV855 will automatically turn on and select that input.
If no audio is emitted from the speaker for a period of ~20 minutes, the speaker will automatically return to standby. Or if the system is muted for more than 5 minutes, the system will return to standby.
If for some reason, the speaker turns off unexpectedly, this feature can be turned off. With the power ON, press and hold the power button on the remote for ~3 seconds. The display should indicate "noAS". This shows that the auto on/off feature has been disabled and the speaker will need to be manually turned off with the remote.
The auto on/off feature can be re-activated by another press-andhold of the power button. The display will indicate "AS". This shows that auto on/off feature has been re-activated.
NOTE: if the speaker is set to the ARC input, the auto feature is disabled and the TV will control Power, Volume and Mute for the AV855.

TV to AV855 Audio Signal Cable Guide
The AV855 includes two analog signal cables, one optical digital signal cable and one HDMI cable. One of these four cables will connect from most TVs or cable/satellite set top boxes to the input on the AV855. In the rare instance your TV or cable/satellite set top box has only an optical minijack audio output, an optical miniplug to optical toslink cable is needed (not supplied with the AV855).
