AccuVoice TV Speaker Model AV157 Dimension
Quick Setup Guide
(This quick guide is valid for an optical digital audio connection from your TV to the AccuVoice TV Speaker. This is the most common audio output on TVs)
- Place The ZVOX Speaker
NOTE: For brevity, the ZVOX AccuVoice TV Speaker Model AV157 is often referred to as the “ZVOX speaker” or “AV157” in this User Manual. 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.NOTE: The AV157 also has two threaded sockets on the back panel. With the additional owner-supplied hardware, these attachment points allow “on wall” placement or secure attachment to a flat surface.
- Connect Power Cord to the ZVOX Speaker
Connect the power cord to the power jack on the back. Then connect the AC plug into an AC power receptacle. Don’t turn the ZVOX speaker on just yet.
- Connect the Optical Signal Cable
Most TVs have an optical digital output jack (sometimes called “TOSLINK”) on the back. Connect one end of the supplied optical cable to this optical jack. Connect the other end of the optical cable to the optical jack on the ZVOX AccuVoice TV speaker.
NOTE 1: The optical plug and jack are not square. Position the optical plug so it matches the orientation of the optical jack, then push the plug into the jack. You should hear and/or feel a “click” when the plug is correctly inserted into the optical jack.
NOTE 2: If your TV does not have an optical connector, you can also connect the ZVOX speaker using an analog signal cable (also supplied). See instructions later in this manual.
- Turn down your TV’s sound and turn on the AccuVoice TV Speaker
Tune your TV to a program. Then use the TV remote to lower the sound coming from your TV until it is inaudible.
Using the ZVOX speaker remote control, press the POWER button to turn on the ZVOX speaker. You should be able to hear the TV sound from the ZVOX speaker. Use the volume buttons on the ZVOX speaker’s remote control to set the volume to your preferred level. You are done!
If you don’t hear sound, press the INPUT button on the AV157 until you see “InId” appear on the face of the AV157. This indicates the optical digital input has been selected.
Alternative Ways To Connect The AccuVoice TV Speaker Model AV157
If your TV doesn’t have an optical audio output, here are some other options:
Minijack Analog Audio Out
Many TVs have an audio output minijack (sometimes labeled “Audio Out”) or
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 input jack labeled MINIJACK ANALOG INPUT.
Once you have connected the cable to the ZVOX speaker, follow step 4 from the front page of this manual. After you have turned on the ZVOX speaker, press the INPUT button on the ZVOX speaker remote control until you see “In2A” appear. This selects the analog minijack input.
Red and White RCA Jack Analog Audio Out
Some TVs use red/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.
Make The Connection
Insert the 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 MINIJACK ANALOG INPUT. Once you have connected the Analog Audio signal cable to the ZVOX speaker, follow step 4 from the front page of this manual. If you don’t hear sound, press the input button on the ZVOX remote control until you see In2A. This indicates the analog audio input has been selected.
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 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.
Connection Options
Headphone or Subwoofer Output Minijack
This minijack provides a signal for use with headphones or an amplified subwoofer. The signal level from this output varies with the volume setting of the ZVOX speaker. 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 control for about five seconds (a “long press”). “HP” will appear on the ZVOX speaker display screen, indicating headphone-only operation. A second long press of the same MUTE button cancels headphone-only operation. Pressing the POWER button on the ZVOX speaker remote control also cancels headphone-only operation.
TV to AV157 Audio Signal Cable Guide
The AV157 includes two analog signal cables and one optical digital signal cable. One 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 or cable/sat set top box has only an optical minijack audio output, an optical miniplug to standard optical plug cable is needed (not supplied with the AV157).
Using Both Audio Inputs on the AccuVoice TV Speaker AV157
If you have your TV’s optical digital output connected to the AV157’s optical digital input, you could also use the AV157’s analog minijack input for a second audio source. You can also connect an analog audio source to the AV157’s MINJACK ANALOG INPUT. This second source could be music from a portable audio device, an audio disc in a player or connect an analog audio source to the AV157’s MINJACK ANALOG INPUT.
To hear an audio source connected to the analog audio input on the ZVOX AV157 TV Speaker, press the INPUT button on the ZVOX remote control until you see IN2A appear on the front of the ZVOX speaker.
Placement Options
Placing The AccuVoice TV Speaker in Front of the TV.
Most people choose to place the ZVOX speaker in front of the TV. But it can also be placed on any level surface near the TV – above, below or to the left or right. Choose a place that lets you direct the ZVOX Speaker towards the TV viewers.

the ZVOX system on an unstable surface. The soundbar has two keyhole-shaped mounting locations on the back panel. These mounting sites will securely hold a screwhead that is no larger
Simple Setup-Just Four Steps
- Place or hang the soundbar.
- Connect the Soundbar to your TV.
- Learn the features of the Soundbar.
- “Teach” the Soundbar your preferred remote
Speaker 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. You can hang the soundbar on two screwheads that are securely installed on a wall or other vertical surface.
- Consider the finish of the surface that will support the soundbar. It is the soundbar owner’s responsibility to ensure 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 any 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.
- A safe, secure installation is the soundbar owner’s responsibility.
- Use an unswitched AC outlet to provide power to a soundbar. With the soundbar’s Auto Standby feature turned on, a soundbar will enter its Standby state on or before 30 minutes of inactivity. A soundbar uses less than 0.5 watts in Standby. Using a switched AC outlet to cut off AC power to a soundbar system is not recommended. It delays subsequent turn-on.
- Do not place any objects on top of a soundbar.
Connecting your TV to the SB380 Soundbar
All current TVs have an audio output. It is likely that one of the cables provided with the soundbar can be used to connect the TV audio output to an input on the soundbar. DO NOT disconnect any video program source connected to your TV (like a cable or satellite set-top box, DVD/Bluray, or similar).
Optical Digital Audio Output Jack
(see above image)
Most HDTVs have an optical digital audio output jack. Use the provided optical cable to connect the TV’s output jack to optical input 1 on the soundbar.
Analog Audio Output
You can connect a TV set’s analog audio output to the analog audio input on the soundbar (left and right RCA jacks). The analog audio output on your TV will be a 1/8 inch stereo minijack or a pair of RCA jacks. The two illustrations below show the appearance of these two audio output connections.
Second Digital Input
The optical audio output of a second audio source (Bluray/DVD player, for example) can be connected to optical input 2 on the soundbar. It is selected when you see In2d on the soundbar display.
If You Have A Coaxial Digital Audio Signal Source:
This ZVOX Audio soundbar does not have a coaxial-format digital audio input. A coaxial digital to optical digital audio converter OR a coaxial digital to stereo analog audio converter should be used. Contact ZVOX Audio at [email protected] to learn what suitable audio converters are available.
Connect the power supply adapter
FIRST, connect the DC plug of the power supply adapter to the DC IN jack on the back of the soundbar. THEN connect the AC plug of the power supply adapter to an unswitched AC power outlet.
If your home TV system does not match the descriptions in this guide, don’t hesitate to send an inquiry to [email protected] or call ZVOX Audio at (866) 367-9869.
