In a world filled with flashy plastic sound bars, the ZVOX 430HSD system stands out. Handcrafted from wood (MDF), with hand-lacquered end-panels, the 430HSD’s compact design encloses three high-performance speakers, a powerful amplifier and a powered subwoofer. Like all ZVOX systems, the 430HSD delivers realistic, lifelike sound. Movies come alive. Music sounds like music - rich and alive. Inside its slim cabinet (30.4”w x 5.7" h x 5”d) are three 3.25” main speakers, a 4” subwoofer with a flared port, an amplifier and our acclaimed PhaseCue virtual surround sound system. There are no external speakers, external subwoofer or speaker wires. Just connect one cord to your TV and you’ve created a great-sounding, easy-to-use home theater system. Sound & Vision magazine calls ZVOX systems "remarkably ingenious." Home Entertainmentmagazine calls ZVOX home theaters "shockingly good."
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Good option to replace home theater system
If you are looking to reduce the size of your home theater system the ZVOX sound bar represents a good option. We dumped our CD changer (ripping all the CDs to iTunes), receiver, and speakers. All this was replaced with a sleek sound bar and an iPod! Sound reproduction is quite good.
The only complaint I have for this system has to do with the remote. As the sound bar is incorporated into home theater systems, it would be optimal to have access to the remote codes so that other remotes (e.g. TV, satellite) could be programmed to control the ZVOX. These codes are not provided with the unit, and ZVOX customer/technical service is completely unresponsive to requests for the codes.

Seemed Perfect At First But Design Quirks Make It Not Right For Me
Reviewing sound bars is especially difficult. Each person has his own preferences and expectations for audio quality and included features. What sounds great and meets the expectations of one person may be just the opposite for someone else. I initially wrote a glowing review of this ZVOX sound bar after listening to it for a few hours. It does indeed produce very good audio, however, after getting all of my components fully integrated with the sound bar and then attempting to adjust the sound to my liking, a couple of deliberate decisions in the design of the 430HSD have made me much less pleased with it. First of all, although the ZVOX430HSD includes two digital audio connections (1 optical and 1 coaxial) only one of those digital connections can be used. For example, I initially connected my Blu-ray player to the coaxial input and my DVR to the optical. I was not getting any sound from the DVR. A call to the nice folks at ZVOX confirmed that the two digital inputs are wired...
Excellent Sound Bar
This sound bar replaced a high quality 5 speaker system with subwoofer. We moved and the new room setup would not easily accommodate the prior system. This is not the prettiest sound bar out there - it is a bit boxy and large. Get past the look and you will have a wonderful sound experience. Very versatile and easy to control with a simple remote. The back of the remote would not stay on (battery compartment cover), but a little tape fixed that problem. Even if we moved and again had a large room, I doubt we would go back to a 5 speaker system. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the cost. Glad it has a connector for the iPhone/iPod as well.

- Because it?s all in one slim cabinet, the 430 is visually a perfect match for flat-panel TVs.
- Requires only one connecting cord.
- PhaseCue virtual surround system to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music.
