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 performance. Wireless connection between the soundbar and bass unit 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 place so it is centered with the TV screen. It can be 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 bass unit 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. 4 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, such as a DVD player, in addition to the cable signal you might need to get the signal from the TV so you can enjoy the TVee sound with all of your media. The bass unit receives a wireless audio signal from the soundbar--you just need to plug it into your AC outlet.
