Great Sound
-----------
The most important feature for any home theater system is high
quality sound. The 580 uses a new amplifier design with extremely
accurate frequency response and a warm, natural sound with
surprisingly powerful bass. It features dual 6.5" powered
subwoofers in a spacious cabinet (equal in interior volume to a
14" x 14" x 14" subwoofer box). The result is accurate,
window-rattling bass down to 34Hz. No other all-in-one home
theater system even comes close.
PhaseCue Virtual Surround Sound
-------------------------------
The 580 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue virtual surround system
to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music.
With music, PhaseCue creates a very wide soundstage--it literally
sounds like you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from
each other. When listening to a good movie, the soundtrack will
envelop you, putting you in the middle of the action.
PhaseCue uses exclusive technology "fools the ear" into believing
that sound is coming from a variety of sources throughout the
room. The benefits of PhaseCue vary greatly based on program
material. Live music and well-recorded modern movie soundtracks
will deliver rich, three-dimensional sound, pulling the sound out
from the speakers and into the room to literally surround the
listener. While no virtual surround system will give you the
exact surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 580 does a
remarkable job.

Green Design
------------
The 580 uses a highly-efficient Class D digital amplifier. Even
playing at quite loud volumes, it usually uses less than 10 watts
of total power. And standby power usage tends to hover around 0.1
watts, making it one of the "greenest" audio systems ever made.
The 580 is Energy Star qualified.
Setting A New Standard For Vocal Clarity
----------------------------------------
ZVOX systems are known for their remarkable vocal clarity--even
during sports broadcasts where crowd noise drowns out the
announcers, or movies where surround sound effect make voices
hard to hear. the Dialog Emphasis (DE) feature mimics the
functions of a hearing aid for incredibly clarity. No other
speaker system provides such an easy-to-use and effective method
for improving the intelligibility of television dialog.
Uses Your Remote Control
------------------------
Our SoundBase systems can be programmed to respond to your remote
control. The illuminated display walks you through a
less-than-a-minute programming cycle. Then your TV remote...or
cable box remote...or satellite receiver remote...or ANY
remote...can control volume, mute, power and input functions of
the ZVOX system.
Taming Loud Commercials
-----------------------
If you've ever been blasted out of your chair by a too-loud
commercial, or by a cable channel that's twice as loud as another
channel, you'll love the new Output Leveling (OL) feature on the
ZVOX 580. Just push the "OL" button and a sophisticated
compression system takes over, making soft sounds louder and loud
sounds softer, so there are fewer jarring moments when sw
channels or when commercials come on.
Disappearing Display
--------------------
The 580 features a four-digit display located behind the speaker
grille that shows the current setting for volume, bass, treble
and PhaseCue (virtual surround)--and also shows when you have
engaged the Mute, Output Leveling (OL) or Dialog Emphasis (DE)
features. A few seconds after you stop using your remote (or
front panel) controls, the display disappears completely.
Connect Your iPod and Other Devices
-----------------------------------
The 580 has two analog audio inputs, one optical digital input,
and one coaxial digital input, plus a front-panel 3.5mm analog
stereo input for convenient connection of your iPod or other
portable audio device. Any specific input can be selected using
either the remote control or the slim-line module below the
speaker grille.
Wood (MDF) Cabinet With Hand-Lacquered Side Panels
--------------------------------------------------
The 580 features a hand-built cabinet of MDF (Medium Density
Fiberboard) with beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss end panels.
Its low-profile design blends perfectly with flat-panel TVs. Most
people don't even notice the ZVOX 580 until they hear it.

Hz120 Volts only120 Volts only * If a TV is connected to an
off-air HDTV antenna or to an HD cable TV feed without a cable
box, a sound system connected to the TV's digital audio output
may require a Dolby Labs license. The analog audio output of a TV
will always work, if present.
* These are guidelines. Confirm your TV base fits within the
width and depth of the top of the ZVOX Audio system. It is not
necessary to place a TV on top of a ZVOX Audio system. A ZVOX
Audio system sounds excellent placed near a TV. Allow for a 1.75"
space behind the ZVOX system for rear panel connections.
