Does this unit have a switch-on feature that would allow me to turn on my TV and the ZVOX 220 simutaneously?

Yes, the unit is cabable of "learning" the four basic functions of your TV/cable remote. Vol up, vol down, mute and power. once the unit leas them then when you hit power both the tv and the ZVOX will turn on and off. you will only need the ZVOX remote for the "advanced" settings. also you will need to disable the TV speakers other wise the vol up/down will affect them as well as the ZVOX..

I haven't investigated that yet, but you can "teach" your DVR remote to control volume, mute, on/off. That way, you can technically turn both on at the same time. I basically use the DVR remote to turn the rest of my system on, and then use the mute (or volume) button on the ZVox remote to turn the volume on. But, as noted above, you can use the DVR remote for both. Sounds more convoluted than it is. I barely think about it nowadays --- it all seems so intuitive and fuss free. The manual that comes with the ZVox is a model of clarity and thoroughness; whoever is making this is conscious of the fact that people need better manuals than the ones that come with most electronic goods these days. Hope this helps. I haven't investigated that yet, but you can "teach" your DVR remote to control volume, mute, on/off. That way, you can technically turn both on at the same time.

Yes, absolutely and it works brilliantly. Easy to teach it to work from your TV remote. Then, no need to ever use the ZVOX one. We had a a Bose Solo box before this which didn't have the feature at all and showed no remote functionality at all. The ZVOX sound is 5 times as good as the Bose too ...... unless you particularly enjoy a very loud unfocused booming sound with every program! I imported this to England as it's not available here ..... I would most certainly do it again. An excellent piece of kit! The Bose was returned for refund! Oh, and the ZVOX is half the Bose price. I think your phrase is 'Go figure!' Good luck with your decision! Yes, absolutely and it works brilliantly. Easy to teach it to work from your TV remote. Then, no need to ever use the ZVOX one.

Once you program your remote (tv or cable, whichever you use), both tv and zvox turn on when you turn on your tv. You can still use the zvox remote to change setting (surround1, surround2 etc) or to enhance dialog, but you do not have to use zvox remote to turn on, change volume, or turn off. To program is easy; follow instructions on sheet inclosed in box and the zvox display (in red on the front). You may have to repeat a few times, but when it says repeat, just repeat until it takes.

Yes, the manual on/off switch is one of the four buttons on the top of the unit, and will toggle the power from any mode

Nothing on the box, the manual or TV options even hints of this feature, so I say no.

I'm not entirely sure about the question. When I power on my PS3 or cable box it will automatically switch to that source. Hope that helps.

Our box has two analog stereo (R and L) inputs and one digital optical input. There's a label indicating a second optical input, but ours doesn't have the socket to go with that label. You'll have to switch the zvox input channel selection using either the zvox remote or another smart remote. Not sure why you would want to use a TV as an input when you have a cable box. We use the analog output of the cable box for sound with the TV. That covers your dvr and regular TV viewing. You could connect the blu-ray audio output to one of the remaining inputs.

Automatic switching never worked for me, and I don't believe there's an. Option to turn it on or off.

yes, it has a switch. However, beware the unit stopped working after 4 months and Nine Stars did not honor their own warranty.

No, it doesn't have a selector switch between the 2 ratings. 110/120V 60hz only

I think you have a misconception of this system. This is a standalone system. It needs no other "PC" to assist or operate it. I have mine up and running with a converter box (switching box) connected to a 32 inch TV. The converter box is hooked up to my ZMODA and my PC, they share the TV for display purposes.

Checked the TV and manual and it appears that it only works with 110/120 Volts

No - though it has a relay which can be used as an on-off switch to activate an audio unit.

Not that I am aware of. Although I wouldn't be surprised if you could. As of now I have to select the TV, switch the HDMI input, and then select the device I want to control. I am pretty familiar with this remote at this point but I am certain I don't have all the different ways that it can be configured figured out.

It does it automatically. It senses which device is powered on and will switch to that device. You can also put a button on the unit itself to manually switch inputs if you like.

Probably not the best plan. Obtain appropriate A/V switcher box that fits your budget.

Yes. There is a small adaptor that plugs into an AC outlet, and a wire from there plugs into the unit. There is no on-off switch. The unit turns on when plugged in, and turns off when unplugged.

Yes, the small button you see in the center on the front will turn the Z-Wave outlet (left side) on and off. The right outlet is just a pass through that is not controlled by the button or Z-Wave.

Nope. It has a plug and an on/off switch. It's a ridiculous piece of equipment.
