power cord to the back of the speaker. 
Then connect the AC power cord to an 
AC power receptacle. Turn on the speaker 
using the power switch on the back panel 
next to the AC cord. 
The Z-Base 580 has additional inputs 
that can be selected from the front panel 
or the included remote control. These 
inputs allow connection of an iPod, MP3 player, CD player, radio or 
streaming audio system or other audio device.
If your home TV system does not conform to the descriptions in 
this Guide, don’t hesitate to send an inquiry to info@zvoxaudio.

useful options.
3. Features and Controls of the Z-Base 580
You can “teach” the Z-Base 580 to respond to your 
current TV remote control for functions like on/off, 
volume up/down and mute (see separate sheet to 
learn how to do this). So for most TV viewing, you 
won’t  need the ZVOX remote control. The ZVOX 
remote control provides adjustments of special audio 
features and functions:
Input
The Z-Base 580 will automatically select whichever 
audio input was last used. Use the  
INPUT button to select a different input:
•  Digital Input 1 - optical 
•  Digital Input 2 - coaxial
•  Analog Input 1  
•  Analog Input 2  
•  Analog Input 3 (front panel minijack)
If the AC power is lost, it may be necessary to reselect the desired 
input. 
Volume and Mute
When the Mute function is activated,  
the display will show -00-.
These controls will adjust the ZVOX Audio 
volume and Mute even if you set up the  
ZVOX Speaker to respond to a different  
remote control.
Bass and Treble
The Bass control has a range from -8 to 4. The Treble control has a 
range from  -4 to 4. 
Note: The bass output of 
the Z-Base 580 is affected 
by its position within a 
room. You may find it 
sounds best with slightly 
more or less bass than the 
neutral setting. 
Surround Settings
There are three SURROUND levels:
•  Surround One (“Sd 1”) has low virtual 
surround effect and strong vocals. Use  
this setting if vocal clarity is very important 
to you. 
•  Surround Two (“Sd 2”) has moderate virtual 
surround effect and moderate vocals. Most people prefer this 
setting for most program material. 
•  Surround Three (“Sd 3”) has strong virtual surround effect 
and moderate vocals. Many people prefer this setting when 
watching movies.

VOLUME
INPUT
Output Leveling 
Press this button to prevent large changes in 
volume. When engaged, it boosts quiet dialog 
and lowers the output of loud commercial 
breaks. It also reduces volume swings between 
cable or satellite channels. This feature  
can be used along with any of the three 
Surround settings. 
Dialog Emphasis
Press this button to engage a feature that 
increases the clarity of most voices. 
Pressing Dialog Emphasis overrides the  
current Surround and Output Leveling setting. 
A second press of Dialog Emphasis returns 
the Z-Base 580 to the last-used Surround and 
Output Leveling settings.

MUTE/Power button. Press this button briefly to turn on the 
system. When the system is on, you can press the button 
briefly to mute the sound. The display shows -00- when 
muted. Press briefly again to restore sound. 
•  The Z-Base 580 does not need to be turned “on” or “off”. It 
will enter a low-power STANDBY state after about 5 minutes 
of silence. You restore the Z-Base 580 to normal operation 
whenever you press the Power, Volume Up/Down or Mute 
buttons on your remote (after you have programmed the 580 
to work with your remote – see separate sheet “Your Current 
TV Remote Can Control Your ZVOX System.”)
•  You can manually put the Z-Base 580 in STANDBY mode, 
also. Press and hold the Front Panel MUTE button for about 
four seconds.

range monaural analog audio signal for use with an external 
powered subwoofer. When used with an external powered 
subwoofer, set the Z-Base 580 BASS control to “0”. Set the 
external powered subwoofer Low Pass control to 55-60 Hz. 
Then adjust the output of the external subwoofer to achieve a 
pleasing balance with the Z-Base 580.
