Accessing the PS Menu (Program Settings) on AV Series ZVOX Systems

The PS menu lets you customize how your ZVOX system operates, including remote control settings, auto standby, auto on, and input options.


Using the ZVOX Remote

  1. Make sure your ZVOX system is powered on.
  2. Aim the ZVOX remote at the display, then press and hold the OTHER SETTINGS (PS) button for about five seconds until "PS-" followed by a number starts flashing on the display. On many models this will be "PS-0," but some newer models may start on a different number.
  3. Release the OTHER SETTINGS (PS) button, then use the volume UP or DOWN buttons on the remote to scroll to the PS number you want.
  4. Once you've reached the desired PS setting, wait for the display to stop flashing, and your setting will be saved.


Tip: You have 21 seconds to make a selection before the PS menu times out. The 21-second timer resets each time you move to a new PS number.


Using the Buttons on the ZVOX (Some AV and SB Models)

  1. Make sure your ZVOX system is powered on.
  2. Press and hold the POWER/MUTE and volume UP (+) buttons on the right end cap of the ZVOX at the same time until "PS-" followed by a number starts flashing on the display.
  3. As soon as the display starts flashing, use the volume UP (+) button on the ZVOX (not the remote) to scroll to the PS number you want.
  4. Once you've reached the desired PS setting, wait for the display to stop flashing, and your setting will be saved.

PS-6: Marantz (Hisense on the AV835/AV855). Programs the ZVOX to respond to a Marantz IR remote, or a Hisense TV IR remote on the AV835/AV855.


PS-7: Not Used


PS-8: Not Used


PS-9: Not Used


PS-10: Auto Standby (AS) (default setting). Unit will turn itself off in 20-minutes when no audio signal is detected.


PS-11: No Auto Standby (noAS) turns off the Auto Standby feature. Unit will only power off with a POWER button command.


Note: On some ZVOX models, you can also toggle the Auto Standby feature "on" (AS) or "off" (noAS) by first having the system powered on and then pressing and holding down the power button on the ZVOX remote for 5-6 seconds while you aim it at the ZVOX display.


PS-12: Auto On (AO) (default setting). The unit will respond to many different remote commands to power on.


PS-13: No Auto On (noAO). This makes the ZVOX system only power on or off from the power button command on the ZVOX remote or the power command from a previously learned remote control.


PS-14 (Not Available on AV835/AV855): One Remote (OnEr) This feature makes the system respond to the ZVOX remote only. If there was a previously learned remote in the PS-0 position, it is still there, it is just now not functional. (Putting the system back to PS-0 will allow the previously learned remote to again operate the system.)


Note: While PS-14 is engaged, the remote learning procedure is disabled. Putting the system back to PS-0 will re-enable the remote learning process.


PS-14 (AV835/AV855 Only): Shows how many audio channels the speaker is receiving on each input. This mode turns off when the speaker is put in standby.


PS-15: Master Reset. All settings will be set to the factory default settings and any learned remote will be deleted. The ZVOX remote will still work.


PS-16 (AV835/AV855 Only): Line Out Variable (Ln-A) (default setting). This will change the Line Out or Headphone jack to a variable output.


PS-17 (AV835/AV855 Only): Line Out Fixed (Ln-F). This will change the Line Out or Headphone jack to a fixed output.


PS-20 (Not Available on AV835/AV855): Restores both the digital and analog inputs via the ZVOX remote control's input button.


PS-21 (Not Available on AV835/AV855): Optical input lock (In1d). This setting locks the input button on the ZVOX remote to only access the digital optical input and not the second analog input. (Selecting PS-20 will restore both the digital and the analog inputs.)


PS-22 (Not Available on AV835/AV855): Analog input lock (In2a). This setting locks the input button on the ZVOX remote to only access the analog input and not the digital input. (Selecting PS-20 will restore both the digital and the analog inputs.)





Note: Some ZVOX AV models do not have a PS settings menu, including the AV100, AV102, AV110, AV120, and AV455.
