Introduction
Thank you for choosing Boston Acoustics. Modern at-panel televisions are wonders of digital video, but leave little room
for serious sound reproduction. The Boston-engineered TVee One’s accurate, dynamically wide-range sound bridges the
gap, with spacious audio reproduction from Music and Movie modes, including Dolby Digital surround decoding, that bring
television and movie sound to life. TVee One’s inputs adapt to any television or system arrangement, with wireless Bluetooth®
streaming for convenient audio playback from mobile devices. What’s more, an ingenious remote control learning solution
lets you continue using your familiar television or cable/satellite remote.
We’ve worked hard to make TVee One the best performing product of its kind—and just as diligently to ensure it’s the
simplest to set up and easiest to use.
You’re about to hear just how much you’ve been missing, but rst, please take a few moments to leaf through this brief manual. You
probably think it’s not really necessary, and you may well be correct, but doing so will help you get the best from the TVee One.
Please save your original shipping carton and packing materials if at all possible. Should you ever need to move or transport
TVee One, this is by far the safest way to do so.
Locating TVee One
TVee One is designed to support most large at-panel televisions, up to 50" and 60 lb (27 kg), while functioning as a base.
The television’s base needs to t entirely within the at top area of the TVee One. There is a "+" mark on the top center of the
cabinet. Use that to get the television base centered on TVee One.
You may also place TVee One on a shelf, or furniture, above or below the screen. However, it should be centered left/right with
the screen, and ideally no more than a few inches above or below. TVee One is not suitable for direct on-wall mounting. TVee
One will often sound its best when the TVee One’s front grille is close to or ush with the front edge of the furniture or shelf on
which it rests (this eliminates unwanted sound reections).
Not Centered Centered Base is too large
CAUTION: Allowing the base of your TV to hang over any edge of this speaker system increases the risk of the TV tipping, which may result in injury.
CAUTION: If your TV comes with an anti-tip device, install it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and adjust the tether as instructed
after placing the TV on top of the system. Installing an anti-tip device is recommended when using a TV with this product. If your TV did not
come with an anti-tip device, you can get one from most retail TV suppliers.
• If the TV base is too large to t on top of the system- place the sound system in another location such as on an open shelf under the TV, but keep
it close to your TV so the audio cable will reach. You also could mount your TV on the wall above the system.
• Never place the equipment in an unstable location – the equipment may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions.
CAUTION: DO NOT place a CRT type TV on this system. It is not designed for use with this type of TV.

1 BEST Optical Digital Input (Toslink S/PDIF) —Connects to television’s optical digital out.
or
2 BETTER Coaxial Digital In (RCA jack S/PDIF)—Connects to television’s coaxial digital-audio out.
or
3 GOOD Analog In 1/8" (3.5mm) mini plug stereo—Connects to television’s rear panel audio out or headphone
output if no digital out available.

All three outputs are all selected by the television button on TVee One’s front panel or remote, but which of the three will be
active is determined by auto-priority. If only one input has signal present, that input will play, but if more than one are active
Optical takes priority over Coaxial or Analog, and Coaxial over Analog.
Optical Digital In – BEST
Use the supplied “Toslink” optical cable to connect your television’s optical digital output to TVee One’s Optical Digital Input.
Other components connected to the television, such as a DVD/Blu-ray player or cable/satellite tuner, will automatically play
through TVee One.
The optical connector looks square, but it is “keyed” and will only plug in one way; don’t force it.

Coaxial Digital In – BETTER
Television rear panel TVee One rear panel
If your television lacks an optical digital out it may include a coaxial digital output. Use an “RCA”-type cable (not included)
to connect your television's coax digital audio output to TVee One’s Coaxial Digital In. Other components connected to the
television, such as a DVD/Blu-ray player or cable/satellite tuner, will automatically play through TVee One.

If no other audio output is available, connect the set’s headphone jack to the analog input using the supplied cable.
Important Note: Input Sensitivity (Analog Input Only)
The normal setting for this is “0 dB.” In rare cases a television’s analog audio output may be too strong. Should you hear
distorted, harsh, or “buzzy” sound from TVee One via its analog stereo input, adjust the rear panel Input Level switch if you
continue to hear distortion. First slide the switch to the -6dB setting, if sound is still distorted, slide switch to -12dB setting.
If you connect multiple inputs to TVee One, the TVee One will automatically select the one with the highest priority. For example
if optical and analog ins are both connected with live signal, optical will play through the TVee One. If the optical source
subsequently shuts o, the analog signal will be heard; should the optical source power back up, TVee One automatically
switches back to its optical in.

Disable Your Television’s Speakers
Disable your television’s built-in speakers when using TVee One. Usually, this is accomplished via an on-screen setup menu
on your television. Look for an “Audio” or “Sound” sub-menu, and a “Speakers O”, “Disable Speakers”, "External Speakers" or
similar menu item. Some televisions have a switch on the rear panel to disable the built-in speakers. If your television does not
have these functions, lower the volume of the television all the way down to 0, or mute the television.
Don’t leave the television speakers on so that both systems play simultaneously;
this will not yield sound that is louder or “better.”
The TVee One Remote Control
A remote control is supplied with TVee One. Its keys duplicate TVee One’s front-panel buttons, with one addition (Day/Night),
and one deletion (the “Learn” key).

About TVee's Automatic Power Modes
TVee One will automatically “wake-up” whenever any of its wired inputs receives an audio signal. Simply turning on your
television will also turn on TVee One. (For Bluetooth playback you will need to turn on TVee One manually using the remote
control or top panel controls.) Because of TVee One’s power saving design, the system takes ve to seven seconds to turn on
from standby. Pressing either the front-panel Television Input or Bluetooth keys will also power up the TVee One. Press the
Power key again to return TVee One to its low-power “standby” mode. TVee One will automatically return to standby after ve
minutes of not receiving any audio, for example, after you turn off your television set.
If you wish to change this auto-on behavior
and a manual power on/standby mode. To change from one to the other, press-and-hold the front panel Power key for 3
seconds. The power key LED will ash bright for 3 seconds, then illuminate steadily for 3 seconds, and then go completely
dark, indicating you have changed to manual power mode. Each time you repeat the Power-key press-and-hold it will change
to the other mode. In manual power mode TVee One is switched to on or standby with a momentary press of the Power key.
you may switch between the standard automatic wake-up/standby mode,

About the TVee Control Button LEDs
The eight LEDs illuminating the top panel control buttons ash or light in various patterns to indicate dierent functions.
Power Momentarily bright when TVee One is turning on/waking from sleep; steadily dim while on/awake
(operating mode); steadily dark when TVee One is “asleep” in standby mode; ashes when toggling between
manual- and auto-on/standby modes.
Television Input Momentarily bright when Television Input is selected, whether manually or automaticall
active signal at any wired input.
Bluetooth Input Flashes rapidly bright while Bluetooth is “pairing” a wireless device; steadily bright when selected.
The Bluetooth LED will ash bright, slowly, while attempting to re-pair a device that has passed out of range or
otherwise lost wireless contact, and blink rapidly to indicate a Bluetooth error (unable to pair). This will cease after 60
seconds or if any TVee One key is pressed.
Learning Flashes when learning functions from your remote (see “Use Any Remote to Control your TVee One”).
Listening Mode Flashes once when pressed at the front panel, and selects the next Listening Mode (see
“Listening Modes,” below).
Mute Flashes bright continuously as long as Mute function is invoked.

Listening Modes
TVee One includes ve Listening Modes for dierent kinds of audio programs, room acoustics, or personal preferences. It also
has a special “Night Mode,” which enhances low-volume listening, which is described in the following section.
Select a Listening Mode using either Listening Mode key (front panel or remote). Each keypress advances in sequence
through the ve modes – Dialog, Music, Music Wide, Movie, and Movie Wide. TVee One’s front panel key LEDs momen-
tarily display a pattern representing each newly selected mode. The following information describes the various listening
modes, and shows an illustration of the LED pattern displayed when that mode is selected.
Note: The LED displays used to indicate the various Listening Modes are simple horizontal display patterns – there is no correspondence between the lit LEDs and their underlying key functions.
Dialog mode highlights center-recorded
sounds such as movie dialog, television announcers, or musical soloists; it’s valuable for
everyday television viewing. The Remote Learning and Listening Mode LEDs light to indicate the Dialog mode is selected.
Music mode produces conventional stereo
sound. The Bluetooth and Mute LEDs light to
indicate the Music mode is selected.
Music Wide mode widens the “soundstage”
somewhat for a more enveloping, involving
sound. The four buttons indicated light when
it is selected.
10
Movie mode adds ambient and rear effects
to the widening process for a surround-like
experience. A more widely separated array of
buttons lights to indicate the mode's selection.
Movie Wide mode deploys TVee One’s
maximum processing for the “biggest” possible
sound on action lms or other large-scale content. Six widely spaced LED's light to indicate
this mode.
Have fun experimenting and choosing the mode that's best in your room. Try "Music" or "Music Wide" for small reective
rooms, and "Movie" or "Movie Wide" for big open rooms.
Night Mode
Night Mode improves low-volume listening by subtly lifting softer sounds, and lowering very loud ones. While you may use
Night Mode whenever you like, for maximum dynamic realism from television programming, movies or music, leave night
mode turned off.
To engage Night Mode, press the Day/Night button on the remote control, or press and hold the front panel Listening
Mode button for three seconds. When Night Mode is engaged, the LED pattern for the current Listening Mode will
ash dim. To exit Night Mode, use the same buttons in the same way. When TVee exits Night Mode, the LED pattern for the
current listening mode will ash bright.
Volume Change Indication
When you adjust TVee One’s volume from the remote control, the 8 front-panel LEDs momentarily function as a horizontal
“bar-graph” of the volume setting reached, illuminating from 1 to all 8 buttons, the latter indicating maximum volume.
Using Bluetooth
TVee One can stream music wirelessly, via Bluetooth, from any compatible, Bluetooth-equipped device such as a mobile
phone, tablet, or laptop computer.
Pairing Your Bluetooth Device
Before you can stream Bluetooth audio to TVee One, you must pair your device to TVee One.
To pair the device to the TVee One for the rst time:
1 Press-and-hold the Bluetooth key (front panel or remote) for at least 3 seconds; the Bluetooth LED will begin
to ash rapidly.
2 Go to Bluetooth settings on your device. Make sure the device’s Bluetooth feature is set to “on”.
3 From the Bluetooth list on your device, select “TVee One”.
4 Playback audio on the Bluetooth source; you should now hear audio from the TVee One. TVee One’s Bluetooth
key LED will remain on as long as TVee One’s Bluetooth input is selected and active.
TVee One can pair multiple Bluetooth devices; however, only one can play at a time. One Bluetooth Source will need to be
disconnected before another paired device can play.

Use Any Remote to Control Your TVee One
It’s easy to “teach” TVee One to respond to nearly any conventional IR (infrared) remote, so that you may continue to use your
favorite television or cable/satellite remote control. You may prefer to teach TVee One only selected commands, to avoid
unintentional operations and subsequent confusion among some household members. Some TVee One owners teach only
Volume Up/Down and Mute, relying on the TVee One’s front panel, or TVee One’s own remote, for other functions.
Learning commands (using Volume + as an example):
1 Press-and-hold the front panel’s Learn button for 3 seconds; its key LED will ash slowly.
2 Now press the front-panel Volume + key; the Volume + key LED will also start ashing slowly, in sync with the Learn LED.
3 Within 60 seconds, aim the “source” remote (for example, your television remote), from approximately 18" (0.5m),
directly toward TVee One’s front panel. Press the remote's Volume + key slowly and repeatedly, up to 4 times if neces-
sary. When both of the ashing LEDs light steadily for 3 seconds, TVee One has learned the new control command.
Unlearning commands
1 Press-and-hold the front panel’s Learn button for 3 seconds; its LED will ash slowly.
2 Press the button you want to clear; the button's LED will also ash slowly, in sync with the Learn LED.
3 Press the learn button within 60 seconds; both LEDs will ash rapidly for 3 seconds. The command has been unlearned.
Seven of the eight TVee One front-panel buttons (the learn button being the exception) can be taught to respond to an
external remote. Simply repeat this three-step process for as many of the other TVee One commands (each associated with a
front-panel button) as you wish.
Note: Rapid blinking of the two LEDs indicates a failed “learn”. Press any other front-panel or TVee One remote key to reset
learning, and start again. See the Troubleshooting section for tips to help you successfully teach TVee One to recognize the
signals from your remote control.
Once you have programmed TVee One to respond to your “everyday” remote controller, you may wish to put away the TVee
One remote for safekeeping. If you do, we recommend that you remove the battery, and wrap it in a slip of paper, maskingtape, or similar to prevent accidental discharge and put it and the TVee One remote someplace safe.
Troubleshooting TVee One
TVee One Does not power on
• Is the TVee One plugged into a proven-live wall outlet? Try a lamp or other known-good appliance. Avoid using outlets
that are connected to switches or dimmers.
No television sound
• Is TVee One’s volume turned up? (Don’t laugh; we do this one ourselves all the time.)
• Is TVee One muted? (if so, the front panel Mute key LED will be ashing.)
• Is the TVee One set to the correct source? A ashing Bluetooth key LED on the front panel indicates TVee One is trying
to “pair” to Bluetooth; press the Television Input key to interrupt this and switch to television sound.
• Is the audio source a volume-controlled television or cable/satellite box output? If so, you must turn up the volume
of the television or cable/satellite box to send adequate signal-level to TVee One. (For this reason it is best to choose
xed-level outputs where possible; some televisions have separate physical outputs, other employ on-screen menu
settings to manage this.)
• Check connections: remember that TVee One auto-prioritizes multiple incoming signals, selecting optical-digital,
coaxial-digital, and analog-mini plug, in that order. Conrm that the television is routing audio to the appropriate out-
put;
there may be TV-menu settings to manage this.
• Check the signal format of the source material. Dolby Digital, PCM (32KHz - 96KHz) is supported.
Distorted sound from the TVee One
• If the signal source is a volume-controlled output, turn it down a couple of steps from maximum.
• If using the analog stereo input, check the rear-panel Input Sensitivity switch setting (see page 7).
• Check the signal source to be sure the distortion is not originating there.
• If TVee One’s volume is set to its maximum, turn it down a few steps.

Trouble teaching TVee One remote control commands
• Make sure the source remote is working properly in the rst place; check batteries; conrm direct operation.
• Move the TVee One and source remote out of bright sunlight or powerful room lighting (too-bright light will impede
infrared-signal transmission).
• Be sure to hold the “source” remote steady, 12-18" (0.3-0.5m) in front of the TVee One, on its level, with the remote’s
emitter (usually a smooth black-plastic area across the end you point toward the television) aimed straight
and level at
the center of TVee One’s front panel.
• Press and release source-remote keys deliberately; hold each keypress down for a half-second or so, and pause a second between repetitions.
• Remember that while TVee One can learn almost all IR (infrared) remote commands, there remain a few rare code
formats that cannot be taught (much like some engineers we know).
Television speakers keep getting turned back up
• Disable the television’s speakers (usually a setup-menu option, but a rear-panel switch on some televisions). If this is
not
possible, the problem is likely that the television responds to press-and-hold (ramping) volume commands more
quickly
than the TVee One; in this rare case use TVee One’s front-panel or supplied remote to turn the TVee One's
volume up.
Trouble Pairing Bluetooth
• Make sure TVee One is in Bluetooth pairing mode (Bluetooth key LED should be ashing).
• Make sure your Bluetooth source is in Bluetooth pairing mode (see the source’s instructions).
• Bluetooth source device must support A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Prole); some Bluetooth products (some
tablets, some GPS units, for example) will thus work with Bluetooth keyboards or headsets but are not capable of high-
delity audio playback.
• Keep your Bluetooth source within 10ft (3m) of TVee One while pairing.
• Power cycle the Bluetooth device (complete power o and “hard-reboot”), and try to pair again.
Bluetooth connection problems
• If a Bluetooth fault occurs (the device moves out of range, or stops playing due to low battery or user input), TVee
One’s Bluetooth LED again blinks rapidly; the TVee One will automatically attempt to re-connect, and will resume play-
back when the Bluetooth source is in range.
Note: On some devices you will need to press play again. Bluetooth’s effective wireless range varies with the source; 30
to 40' (9-12m) is typical. If the source moves out of range, TVee One will continue trying to re-connect it for 4 minutes;
after that interval you will have to re-connect, as above.
• Make sure TVee One is not paired to a dierent Bluetooth source device.
• Make sure your desired Bluetooth source device is actually playing music or another audio program and is paired to
TVee One and not some other device.
• On a multifunction source device such as a tablet or mobile phone, not every program or “app” may support Bluetooth
audio broadcast (consult the instructions for the program or app).
• Consider possible sources of interference, particularly those operating at 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi routers, microwave ovens, land
line cordless telephones); power down suspects one at a time to identify a culprit. Often, repositioning an interfering
device to another room, or even across the room, will restore Bluetooth function.
TVee One takes several seconds to turn on
• The TVee One’s power saving design puts the system into standby mode after ve minutes of no sound. TVee One
takes a few seconds to start up the next time audio plays.
How to return TVee One to its original factory settings
• Disconnect the power cord. Press and hold the "Vol–" button while you reconnect the power cord. The Standby light
will blink fast for several seconds indicating that the system has been reset.
Note: This clears Bluetooth pairing, remote learning, listening mode.
