After this adjustment TVee should always be louder than the television speaker. Then you can use the television remote
control to adjust the volume as you normally do.
Fine Tune TVee
Now that things are up and running, it’s time to adjust the bass unit to blend with the soundbar speakers so the system
produces the balanced, natural Boston sound. Start with the bass unit volume control at the middle of its rotation range. Play
a variety of source material —some music, a movie sound track with dynamic special e ects, some spoken dialog. Adjust the
volume up and down a bit from the starting point until you have a setting that produces a natural sound with all the various
types of program material.
Control TVee
If you have TVee connected to a television, cable, or satellite box and changing the volume with your system remote does
not change the volume of the TVee system, then the output TVee is connected to is a “constant level” output. With a constant
level output you will want to program TVee to respond to the remote control codes of your television remote, or any other
remote control you want to use. The goal is to be able to use one remote control. Here’s how to do it.
Say you want TVee to learn the “mute” command of your remote control.
1 Press and hold the Power and
T
“Volume Up“ buttons until the
status indicator  ashes orange.
2 Press the button you want to program to respond to your remote
control—in this example the mute button.
3
Point your remote control at the front of the TVee soundbar from about 12 inches away. Press and hold the mute button for
a full second then release the button for a full second. Repeat the press and release sequence until the status indicator turns
green. TIP: Hold the remote steady and press/release the button slowly to be sure TVee can pick up the remote signal.
If TVee is not able to pick up the remote control signal within 20 seconds the status indicator will  ash red for 20 more
seconds and then return to green. Repeat steps 1 - 3, being careful to hold the remote steady and press the button slowly.
Repeat the process for the other buttons on your remote control that you want TVee to learn.
Remember – TVee can learn to respond to almost any button on almost any remote. You decide what remote you want to
use – television, satellite receiver, cable control box, etc. – and teach TVee to respond to the buttons you want to use.
If you make a mistake, or want to remove the remote control programming of TVee for any reason, press and hold the Mute
and Volume Down buttons until the status indicator alternately  ashes red and orange for 3 seconds. NOTE: This removes
ALL of the TVee remote control programming. If you only need to change the programming for some of the TVee buttons,
follow the three steps above to overwrite previous programming.
Details About TVee
In most systems after you do any needed remote control programming you can just sit back and enjoy the sound. But you
might  nd the following details useful or interesting.
Power – The power switches on the back of the soundbar and bass unit can be left on. TVee has an automatic power standby
system. After about 15 minutes of inactivity the ampli ers shut down. As soon as a signal is applied to the inputs of TVee the
ampli ers automatically turn on again.
Wireless ID Switches – Both the soundbar and bass unit have Wireless ID switches. The various switch settings change
frequency of the wireless signal the soundbar sends to the bass unit. The two switches must be set to the same position.
