Frequently Asked Questions - TVee Model 25 BOSTON ACOUSTICS

How do I connect the TVee Model 25 to my TV?

Preferably use the supplied optical digital cable (option 1). Otherwise, connect the RCA audio cable to your TV's audio outputs. Make sure the correct input is selected (press the Input button until the indicator matches).

Why is there no sound coming from the soundbar?

Check that the power is connected and the switch is ON, that the audio source is playing sound, that the volume is adequate and mute is not activated. For a digital source, confirm that the output format is set to Dolby Digital and that the optical cable is not bent.

How do I program the soundbar to respond to my remote control?

Press and hold the Power and Volume+ buttons on the soundbar for 3 seconds until the LED flashes orange. Release, then press Volume+ on the soundbar until the LED is solid orange. Hold the remote 30 cm away and press the remote's Volume+ 4 times until the LED turns green. Repeat for other desired buttons (Volume-, Mute, Power, Input, Music/Film).

The subwoofer produces no sound, what should I do?

Make sure the subwoofer indicator is green (connected). Check that the Wireless ID switches (on the back of the soundbar and subwoofer) are set to the same number. Increase the subwoofer volume and move it closer to the soundbar (maximum range 8 m).

How do I adjust the subwoofer volume?

Use the volume knob on the back of the subwoofer. The optimal setting is usually between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Adjust to your preference to balance the bass with the bar.

What is the difference between Music mode and Movie mode?

Movie mode creates a wide, spacious surround sound ideal for movies and TV shows. Music mode offers a more precise stereo rendition for music listening. Switch via the Music/Film button on the soundbar or the programmed remote.

Can I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Yes. Use the mounting holes on the back of the soundbar. Obtain the appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type (consult a technician). Place the supplied template, drill holes, attach brackets, connect cables, then hang the soundbar. Set the LOCATION switch to WALL for optimized sound.

How do I clean the TVee Model 25?

Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the surfaces. Never use liquid or abrasive products. Unplug the device before cleaning.

What should I do if I hear a pop sound when turning off the TV?

This noise is normal, but to avoid it, program the soundbar to turn on and off with your TV remote (see programming procedure).

The bass is not powerful enough, how can I improve it?

Increase the subwoofer volume. Place the subwoofer in a corner of the room to enhance bass. Check that the Wireless IDs match. On your TV, set the audio mode to 'Large' rather than 'normal' or 'narrow' so as not to limit bass.

Place Your System

Decide on the location and position of the system before making any connections.

Soundbar Location

Place the soundbar on a table surface or shelf near the television, or wall-mount the soundbar above or below the television.

Keyhole mounts on the rear of the soundbar permit wall mounting.*

Wall-Mounting

The TVee Model 25 soundbar can be wall-mounted using the integrated keyhole mounts. A mounting template can be found in the inner flap of the product carton. Using a level tool, position and tape the template to the wall in the desired location. The template is designed to allow enough room for the grille and keyhole mounts when the soundbar is mounted below a TV.

Install hardware* using the template as a guide and then remove the mounting template from the wall. Connect your audio and power cables prior to mounting the soundbar on the wall. Place the grille on the soundbar after mounting.

*Consult a person knowledgeable about your wall type to recommend suitable hardware for hanging the speaker. You can remove the rubber feet before hanging the speaker on the wall. Usually it is best to leave soundbar off the wall until connections are made.

Set the rear panel LOCATION 12 switch to match how the soundbar is placed. Use WALL for wall mounting and TABLE for placement on a shelf, cabinet, or table.

LOCATION

Subwoofer Location

Place the wireless subwoofer anywhere in the room. For the best sound, place the subwoofer near a wall or corner within 20 feet (6 meters) of the soundbar on the same side of the room as the soundbar. The wireless subwoofer range is 25 feet (8 meters).

The subwoofer may be placed vertically or horizontally under a bed or other furniture, or on a shelf.

Also, avoid placing the subwoofer in a position where curtains or blankets obstruct airflow around the rear panel.

Connect your system

Next you need to get an input signal from your TV into the TVee soundbar.

Option 1

Optical digital cable. Note: The optical cable is a glass fiber; be careful to avoid kinking the cable.

Option 2

RCA stereo audio cable.

Using the rear panel Auxiliary Input

Use the rear panel mini plug AUX INPUT to connect a portable media device.

Connect Power

1. Connect the soundbar power supply and power cord to the soundbar.
   Connect the subwoofer power cord to the subwoofer.
   Plug both into AC power outlets.

2. Turn ON the rear panel power switches on the soundbar and subwoofer. The wireless subwoofer connects to the soundbar automatically.

If you plan to use more than one TVee system, please refer to the Wireless ID section on page 9.

Turn on the system

Use the front panel Power Button 10 to turn on the system. The system will automatically turn on when audio is playing the analog or optical digital input. The Power/Remote light indicates green when the system is turned on, and red when the system is turned off.

Power/Remote Light (4)

Green: Power on.

Red: Power off.

Note: The lights only illuminate temporarily to show a mode or function change.

How do I watch TV?

Select an input

Use the front panel Input Button 9 to choose an input. Each time the button is pressed, the input changes in sequence from optical digital input to analog RCA audio input to Analog Aux Input back to optical digital. The color of the Input Mode Light indicates which input is selected.

Input Mode Light (3)

Green: Optical Digital Input is selected.

Red: Analog RCA Input is selected.

Orange: Analog aux input is selected.

Adjust the Volume

Use the front panel volume up and down buttons to adjust the volume. Use the mute button to mute the audio. To cancel audio muting, push the mute, volume up, or volume down buttons.

Power/Remote Mode Light

Green Blinking: Mute mode is on.

Music / Movie selection

Use the front panel music/movie button to choose the style of sound you want to hear. Movie Mode is a like a movie theater or surround sound system and has a wide, spacious sound. For enhanced playback of music, the Music mode is like a traditional stereo music system, optimized for pure audio accuracy. Either mode can be used for any type of input or audio.

The system will remember whatever mode was last chosen for each input. This is convenient, because you can use Movie Mode for the digital audio input (television) and music mode for Aux Input (music from a portable device).

Music/Movie Mode light:

Green:Playing in Movie Mode. Orange:Playing in Music Mode

Adjusting the subwoofer sound level

Use the volume knob on the rear of the subwoofer to adjust its sound output level. In many rooms, setting between 10 and 2 o'clock will sound good. Once set, you typically won't need to adjust this control.

Programming your Soundbar

A Press and hold Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously on the soundbar for 3 seconds until the Power/Remote Mode light 4 flashes orange.

B Press Volume Up button on soundbar until light turns solid orange.

Hold your remote 1 ft (30cm) pointing to soundbar's button area, Press Volume Up button on your remote 4 times until light flashes green.

Repeat Steps A to C to set up Volume Down, MUTE, Power, Input, and Music/Movie buttons.

Attention cable/satellite users: If you have trouble programming, some cable/satellite remotes may require you to initiate programming using your original television remote. After programming is complete using your original television remote you can begin using your cable/satellite remote to control your soundbar.

ABC

Wireless ID Switch

The wireless subwoofer connects to the soundbar automatically. Both the soundbar and the wireless subwoofer have a Wireless ID switch located on the back panel. These switches need to be set to the same number. If you are using more than one TVee system in your home, change the second system to a different ID number to keep the wireless transmissions separate.

WIRELESS ID

1234

The subwoofer must be placed within 50 feet (15m) of the soundbar to connect wirelessly. Closer placement ensures the most reliable connection.

The subwoofer light is green when switched on and connected wirelessly. The subwoofer enters standby mode if it does not play sound for several minutes, and in standby mode the light is red. If the light blinks green, the wireless link is not connected, and the subwoofer is attempting to reconnect. Check to make sure the subwoofer wireless ID switch is set to the same number as the soundbar wireless ID switch, and see the troubleshooting section of this manual for other suggestions.

Troubleshooting TVee

Soundbar does not power on.

• Is the power supply plugged into a live wall outlet?
• Is the power supply properly connected to the soundbar power input?
  Is the rear panel power switch in the "on" position?
• Is the fuse blown? Replace it with the same type. If it quickly blows again the unit may need service.

No sound from TVee Soundbar.

• Is the soundbar connected to an audio source that is playing audio through its output?
  Is the soundbar set to the correct input source?
• Are the soundbar and subwoofer receiving power and turned on?
• Turn up the volume of the TVee soundbar.
• Turn up the volume of the television or cable box TVee is connected to.
• Check Mute status - is the status indicator blinking green? Press the Mute button on the soundbar.
• For digital TVs or other digital sources, make sure the output format is set to "Dolby Digital." (See the source product's set-up menu)
• For digital sources, make sure the optical cable is not kinked or broken. (This stops the digital light signal)

No Sound from the Subwoofer.

• Check the points in the "Soundbar does not power on," section above.
• Turn up the volume control.
• Check that the wireless ID setting is the same on the soundbar.
• Move the subwoofer closer to the soundbar.

Distorted sound from the Soundbar.

• Change the Trim Level switch setting to a higher number. (Analog input only)
• Check the signal source to be sure the distortion is not originating there.

Bass not loud enough.

• Turn up the subwoofer Volume control.
• Place the subwoofer closer to a corner in the room.
• Check that the wireless ID setting is the same on the soundbar.
  Some televisions and cable boxes have a mode that limits the bass. Check that product's audio set-up menu and set the audio mode to "wide" rather than "normal" or "narrow."

TVee won't learn my remote control commands.

• Carefully follow the programming instructions.
• Hold the remote steady and 12 inches from the front of the soundbar.
• Press and release the remote control buttons slowly!
• Check the remote control's batteries.

Note: TVe e learns almost all IR commands, but some IR protocols cannot be programmed.

There is a "pop" noise when I turn off my television.

• Program TVee to be turned on and off with the power button on your television remote control.

Volume of my television speakers gets louder than my TVee system over time.

• When the remote control volume button is held down your television may change volume levels faster than TVee.
• Use the buttons on the soundbar to adjust the volume of the TVee to the correct balance with the television speakers.
• If possible, use the television's set up menu to mute the television's own speakers.

The woofer seems to have interference with its wireless signal.

Try changing settings of the Wireless ID switches on both the soundbar and subwoofer.
The subwoofer could be too far from the soundbar to get a good signal. Try moving it closer.
