Modern flat-panel televisions are wonders of digital video, but leave little room for serious sound reproduction.

Connecting TVee One to your television TVee One offers three audio inputs to route sound from your television. Any one may be used; only one is necessary, and only one should be connected. Since not all televisions include all three formats, we will list them in order of preference. Connect the first supplied by your television; TVee One will automatically “find” that input. 1 3 2 1 Optical Digital Input (Toslink S/PDIF) Preferred ★—Connects to television’s optical digital out, if available.
Coaxial Digital In If your television lacks an optical digital out it will probably include a coaxial digital out (if your television includes both, give preference to the optical out). Use an “RCA”-type cable (or equivalent) to connect this to TVee One’s Coaxial Digital In. Other components connected to the television in the same way, such as a DVD/Blu-ray player or cable/satellite tuner, will automatically play through TVee One when selected by the television’s remote.
Disable Your Television’s Speakers If possible, disable your television’s built-in speakers when using TVee One. Usually, this is accomplished via an on-screen setup menu. Look for an “Audio” or “Sound” sub-menu, and a “Speakers Off,” “Disable Speakers” or similar menu item. Some televisions will instead have a hardware switch on the rear panel, marked similarly. Don’t leave the television speakers on so that both systems play simultaneously; this will not yield sound that is louder or “better.

About the Listening Modes: Dialog Mode highlights center-recorded sounds such as movie dialog, television announcers, or musical soloists; it’s valuable for everyday television viewing. Music Mode produces conventional stereo sound. Music-Wide widens the “soundstage” somewhat for a more enveloping, involving sound. Movie Mode adds ambient and rear effects to the widening process for a surround-like experience.
Music Mode produces conventional stereo sound. Music-Wide widens the “soundstage” somewhat for a more enveloping, involving sound. Movie Mode adds ambient and rear effects to the widening process for a surround-like experience. Movie-Wide deploys TVee One’s maximum processing for the “biggest” possible sound on action films or other “big-sound” content. This is simply a horizontal pattern: there is no correspondence between lit LEDs and their underlying key functions.
Using Bluetooth TVee One can reproduce sound wirelessly, via Bluetooth, from any compatible, Bluetooth-equipped device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer. An already paired device will “wake” TVee One by commencing Bluetooth audio playback. Getting Started – Pairing Before you can start streaming Bluetooth audio to TVee One, you have pair it to your device.
You may prefer to teach only selected commands, to avoid unintentional operations and subsequent confusion among some household member. (Some TVee One owners teach only Volume up/down and Mute, relying on the soundbar’s front panel, or TVee One’s own remote for the occasional Input or Listening Mode change.) 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.
• On a multifunction source device such as a tablet or mobile phone, every programs or “app” may not 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, landline cordless telephones); power-down suspects one at a time to identify a culprit. Often, re-positioning an interfering device to another room, or even across the room, will restore Bluetooth function.
