ZVOX 4 Step Learning Process for Remote Controls
This learning process works for many ZVOX speakers and teaches them commands from a third-party remote control (e.g. a remote control from a cable/satellite provider or television manufacturer) to control the power off/on, volume up/down and mute functions of your ZVOX speaker.
ZVOX speakers that do not have an HDMI input are designed to work with IR (Infrared) technology-based remote controls. Remote controls that are described as “smart” remote controls and offer features like voice command technology are RF (Radio Frequency) technology-based devices and need to be switched into IR mode. Questions about this process should be directed to the manufacturer of the remote control.
The 4 Step Learning Process:
Turn the speaker OFF (turn the television off as well)
Press and hold the “Other Settings” button on your ZVOX remote control until “Lrn” appears on the speaker’s LED display.
Speaker will display “UP 1” – press the volume up button on the third-party remote control.
Speaker will display “----” - stop pressing the volume up button.
Speaker will display “rEP” – press volume up button again.
Speaker will display “Good”
Speaker will display “dn 2” – press volume down button.
Speaker will display “----” - stop pressing the volume down button
Speaker will display “rEP”
Press volume down button again
Speaker will display “good”
Speaker will display ”3”
Press the “Mute” button on the third party remote control.
Speaker will display “----” - stop pressing the mute button
Speaker will display “rEP”
Press the mute button again.
Speaker will display “good”
Speaker will display “Pr 4”
Press the power button
Speaker will display “----” - stop pressing the power button
Speaker will display “rEP”
Press power button again
Speaker will display “good”
Speaker and remote control should now be paired.
