About TVee
Congratulations on selecting TVee for your home entertainment system. TVee combines the famous Boston sound with
unprecedented ease of use. From two compact components, TVee delivers sound that will add an entirely new dimension
to your television entertainment experience. Powerful amplifiers and 3D sound processing circuitry ensure exciting perfor-
mance. Wireless connection between the soundbar and subwoofer makes TVee easy to setup—the ideal combination of
performance and convenience. If necessary, TVee can even learn the control signals from your remote control for maximum
ease of use and totally transparent operation.
Placing TVee
You’re probably anxious to start using your TVee so let’s get started. First you should position
the TVee components.
The soundbar should be placed so it is centered with the TV screen.
It can be in front of the television. Or if your television is housed in furniture that has a
shelf right above the screen the soundbar can go there. But avoid places that are semi-
enclosed. That can upset the natural sound balance of TVee. There are keyholes in the
back of the soundbar cabinet to facilitate hanging it on a wall.
The subwoofer is easy. It can go just about anywhere in the room. Since it gets its signal
wirelessly you don’t need to worry about connections. Just plug it into an AC outlet.
Corner placement can help reinforce bass output.

Connect TVee
Next you need to get an input signal into the TVee soundbar. All it takes is the audio connection cable that is supplied. There
are two likely sources for a signal—your television or a cable television connection box. (The control box for a satellite system
is for this purpose the same as a cable box. For simplicity we’ll call it a cable box, but it could be either one.)
The main advantage of getting the signal from the cable box is that it is easier to set up. But if you have multiple signal
sources in addition to the cable signal, such as a DVD player, you might need to get the signal from the TV directly so you can
enjoy the TVee sound with all of your media.
The subwoofer receives a wireless audio signal from the soundbar—you just need to plug it into your AC outlet.
Fire Up TVee!
Now the fun starts. Connect the power supply to the soundbar, turn on its power switch and the one on the subwoofer.
Turn on the other components in your system and tune in to a familiar channel. You should hear sound from TVee. If you
don’t, try turning up the volume of TVee using its volume control buttons.
If TVee is connected to the television try adjusting the volume using the television remote control. If the volume level
changes it shows that TVee is connected to a “variable” output. The mute control of the television remote should also work.
That makes things easy. You can ignore the“Control TVee”section on the following page.
If the TVee is connected to the television it is likely that the television speakers are also playing. Most modern televisions have
a way of turning off the internal speakers. There are hundred of models of televisions from dozens of manufacturers, so it is
impossible to give specific instructions on how to do that. But most use a similar procedure.
Look on the remote control for your television for a“menu” or “setup”button. Press it and you’ll see an on-screen menu. Look for
an option to control audio functions and select it. This is where you’ll probably find the setting to turn off the internal speakers.
If you cannot turn off the internal speakers it is not a problem. TVee will tremendously enhance the sound of the television
speakers with extended response and improved definition. However, to get the most from TVee you’ll want it to be louder
than the television. Use the following steps to adjust the volume balance:
1Teach TVee to respond to the volume up and down control commands of your television remote. (See the“Control TVee”
section for information on how to do that.)
2Turn down the volume of the television all the way using the control buttons on the set.
3Use the volume control buttons on soundbar to set the volume of TVee to a normal listening level.
