ZVOX Audio zvox 325 用户指南

1. Unpack 325, AC power supply, remote control

and 2 connecting cords – one with “RCA” plugs,

and one with a “mini plug” connector.
2. Place console facing listening area, leaving 2”

of space behind it for bass port. If using the

console with a TV, try to align the console with

the center of the screen.

6. Turn down the front panel volume control all the

way. Because the volume control uses an

electronic “continuous spin” system, the knob

won’t “stop” anywhere  -- just turn it counter

clockwise one full rotation.

4. Examine audio outputs or headphone jack of

your TV, PC, CD/MP3 player, game console or

radio to determine if it uses a “mini jack” or

“RCA” connectors. Choose and connect

appropriate cord.

7. Plug other end of audio connecting cable

into “Input 1” plug on back of ZVOX 325.

8. Turn Power  switch (located to left of power

plug) to “Standby.” Then activate TV, PC, CD/

MP3 player, radio or other audio device. In

“Standby” mode, the ZVOX 325 will automati-

cally turn itself on when it senses a signal (red

LED above power plug will turn green). After

3 minutes without receiving an audio signal,

your system will automatically shut down its

amplifier (LED will turn from green to red).

When you turn on your TV/audio source, the

ZVOX 325 will automatically turn itself on

again. The auto turn-on function takes 1-2

seconds. Note: If auto shutdown occurs when

listening at very low volume levels, you may

need to adjust the ZVOX volume control

DOWN somewhat, and turn the volume of

your TV/audio source UP. This will assure a

strong enough signal to prevent inadvertent

shutdown. If inadvertent shutdown continues

to occur, put the Power switch into the “On”

position – bypassing the auto turn-off circuit.
9. With volume control of TV/PC/Audio Device

set at about 75% of maximum, turn up the

volume of ZVOX 325 until you reach your

desired listening level, or until audible

distortion occurs. If distortion occurs, turn

ZVOX volume control down until distortion

goes away. You can use either the front-panel

volume control or the remote control.
10. Listen and enjoy. When you’re finished,

simply turn off your TV/audio source.

DO NOT plug cord into AC outlet before it is

connected to “Power” port of Console.

Mini-plug for

use with mini-

jack input.

RCA plugs for

use with RCA

jack inputs.

5. For TV connection only: All other devices, skip

to step 6.

 

 If connected to a TV audio output,

push the “MENU” button on your remote control,

then choose “AUDIO” -- and navigate through

the menu options to choose “SPEAKER: OFF”

and “AUDIO OUT: VARIABLE” (sometimes called

“AOV” on a TV’s menu). This allows you to control

the volume of the ZVOX system using your

TV’s remote control.
If your TV’s audio output can’t be switched to

“VARIABLE,” simply control the volume of the

ZVOX 325 using its supplied remote control.
If your TV doesn’t have audio out jacks, connect

the ZVOX console to the TV’s headphone jack.

Your TV’s volume control will then control the

volume of the ZVOX console.
If your TV doesn’t have a headphone jack, or

audio outputs, then you can connect your ZVOX

system to the audio output of your cable box or

satellite dish. But other devices (VCR, DVD

player) will not play through the ZVOX system,

unless they are connected through your cable

box.

3. Connect AC power supply cord to “Power/

12VDC” port on console, then plug into AC outlet.

Hook-up instructions: ZVOX 325

1. If your TV, CD player, PC or other audio

source plays too loudly, even with its volume

control turned only part way up, you may want

to reduce the volume level on the ZVOX 325.

2. If you hear a consistent “hiss” or hum, try

turning UP the volume of your TV or other audio

source, and then set the ZVOX volume level

LOWER. If your TV is connected to a cable box

or satellite receiver, try turning its volume control

UP – so that when you switch from your cable

box to your DVD player, they play at about the

same level.  As a rule of thumb, try setting each

device at about 75-90% of its maximum volume

level -- then turn the ZVOX 325’s volume control

up as far as it will go without distorting.

In some circumstances, you will hear excess

hiss if your TV/audio source is turned up TOO

high. If this happens, try adjusting the TV/audio

source sound level DOWN and turn the ZVOX

325 volume UP.

Please keep in mind that your ZVOX 325 is a

highly accurate audio system that may reveal

noise or distortion that other speakers did not

reproduce.  This is not the fault of the 325, which

is simply reproducing the signal it receives.
3. The PhaseCue control adjusts the size of the

perceived “sound stage.” Feel free to adjust it

when playing different kinds of audio. Some

people prefer slightly more, or less PhaseCue

effect. Try different settings to see what you like

best. Some people prefer higher settings for

movies, and slightly lower settings for music.

3. If you are placing the ZVOX 325 on the floor,

in a corner, or near the ceiling, you may find that

it produces too much bass – resulting in a

“muddy” sound. If this happens, turn down the

subwoofer level control until the “muddy” or

“boomy” sound goes away.

• “Input 1” jack is for connecting audio connector

cable from TV, PC or other audio source.
• “Output (Input 2)” jack is for connection of

optional powered subwoofer. This jack will also

function as an input, but when it is used, Input 1 is

automatically muted. If you want to connect 2 or

more devices to your ZVOX 325, we suggest you

consider an external input  switching device

(available for $20-$50  at electronics stores).
• “Subwoofer Level

” adjusts bass output.

• “Phase Cue” knob (on front panel) adjusts the

size of the sound stage, and the amount of virtual

surround sound. If background noices (crowds,

wind, traffic, etc.) interfere with dialog, try turning

down PhaseCue control slightly.

The front-panel input on the 325 allows you to

quickly connect an MP3 player or portable audio

device to the system. Plug in the device using a

stereo mini jack connector and the rear inputs

are automatically disconnected. When you

unplug the device from the front panel, the rear

input is automatically re-activated.
