Height 144.5 mm

Back view with dimensions of the SB500 and SB400

A master reset restores a SB400/SB500
to the factory default behavior. It erases
any “learned” remote control response. It
sets the SURROUND mode to Surround
“2”, sets OUTPUT LEVELING and DIALOG
EMPHASIS to OFF and sets BASS and
TREBLE to no boost or cut in bass or treble
output. It sets the INPUT to Optical Input 1.

To perform the Master Reset, rst put the
SB400/SB500 in Standby mode by pressing
the POWER button on the SB400/SB500
remote control. When you see “OFF” on the
SB400/SB500 display, the unit is in Standby.
You can also put a SB500 in Standby by
pressing down on the end panel MUTE
button for about 5-7 seconds.

Once the SB400/SB500 is in Standby,
locate the INPUT button on the end panel
of the SB400/SB500. (You cannot use the
INPUT button on the remote to perform a
Master Reset.)

Press and hold down the end panel INPUT
button for about 15 to 20 seconds. When
you see the three letters “ r S t ” appear

on the display (see gure below), release the
INPUT button. The SB400/SB500 will then
show the four-digit rmware code number and
turn “ON”. The master reset is complete.

SB400/SB500 Wall Mounting
Information

The SB400/SB500 has two keyhole mounting
sites on its back panel. You can mount the
SB400/SB500 onto two screwheads using
these mounting sites. The SB400/SB500
weighs 16 pounds. NOTE: It is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure the screws are installed
into the wall or other surface securely and
that the screwheads are the correct size for
the hanger mounts on the rear of the SB400/
SB500. ZVOX Audio recommends your
mounting sites be able to support at least
twice the weight of the SB400/SB500.

ZVOX Soundbar Adjustment Options SB400/SB500

The PS Menu

The SB400 and SB500 have adjustments
that could prove useful, depending on the
installation location and user preferences.
The adjustments are made through the PS
Menu feature of both soundbars.

For instance, your TV set may not have a
provision to turn off the internal speakers
or the TV may display a distracting “TV
speakers off” message. Adjustments to the
PS menu of the soundbar along with your
preferred remote control can allow your
remote control to adjust volume on the
soundbar without your TV speaker playing
or the distracting message.

These adjustments are made using the four
end panel buttons on the soundbar while
watching the numeric display. The remote
control provided with the SB400 and SB500
cannot make adjustments to the PS Menu.

Adjusting the PS Menu

To make a selection from the PS menu listing,
press and hold down both the MUTE and
VOLUME UP front panel buttons for about
3 seconds. If this is the rst time you
have used the PS menu, you will see the
characters “PS-0” start ashing. Immediately
release the two buttons when you see the
PS number ashing. Then quickly press and
release the Volume Up button while “PS” is
still ashing. This will increase PS number
setting. Pressing Volume Down will decrease
the PS number setting, down to “PS-0”.
Each time you press the Volume Up or
Volume Down button, you have an additional
six seconds to make an adjustment.

Once you arrive at your intended PS number,
just wait for the display to stop ashing the
PS number. When the ashing stops, the
adjustment is made.

Press both buttons for three or more
seconds to trigger the PS number
adjustment mode.

While ashing, the Volume Up or Down
buttons set the PS number. After adjustment,
the setting is stored when the display turns off.
