Using Input 2 With A Second Audio Source
If you have your TV's optical digital output connected to Input 1 on the ZVOX
speaker, you can also connect the audio output of a second device to the ZVOX
speaker’s Input 2 minijack. This lets you listen to music-only sources without
needing the TV to remain on. This could be music from any portable audio
device, an audio disc in a disc player or the “music only” channels from a cable
or satellite set top box.
The Input 2 minijack accepts either an analog miniplug signal cable (supplied)
or an optical digital signal cable with an optical miniplug (not supplied).
To hear an audio source connected to Input 2, press the INPUT button on
the TV Speaker remote control to choose the second input. An analog signal
source will appear as “In2A”. A digital signal source will appear as “In2d”.
