Using TVee One

1) Power on/off/standby

mini plug, in that order.

3) Listen to Bluetooth wireless input (see Bluetooth, below)

4) Activate Remote-Learning (see "Programming TVee One, " below)

5) Listening Mode; changes Listening Mode, stepping through the five Modes in sequence (see "About the

Listening Modes, " below).

6) Mute sound; press again to unmute. (Pressing either Volume key also unmutes.)

7) Volume down; press-and-hold for continuous "ramping" decrease

8) Volume up; press-and-hold for continuous "ramping" increase

Using TVee One

While you may turn on TVee One using the front panel or remote Power key, there is rarely any need to do so. TVee One will

automatically "wake" whenever it senses signal present at any wired input; simply turning on your television thus will also

turn on TVee One (for Bluetooth playback you will need to turn on TVee One manually). Because of TVee One's power saving

design, the system takes five to seven seconds to turn on. Pressing the front-panel or remote television or Bluetooth key will

also power up the soundbar. When you next press either Power key, TVee One will return to its low-power "standby" mode—

but again, there's no real need to do so. TVee One will return to Standby after five minutes of no-signal condition, for example,

when you power off your television set.

Consequently, most of the time operating TVee One is simply a matter of adjusting the volume to taste. You may leave the

soundbar "On, " and rely on it to return to its power-saving Standby condition automatically. TVee One will power back up

immediately whenever it senses a signal from any wired input (press either Bluetooth key for "wake" for wireless playback).

If you wish to change this auto-on behavior you may "toggle" the mode: press-and-hold the front panel Power key for 3

seconds; the power key LED will flash bright for 3 seconds, then illuminate steadily for 3 seconds, and then either go completely

dark, indicating you have changed to manual-on/off mode, or show steadily dim, indicating you have changed to auto-on/off

mode. In manual-on/off mode TVee One responds to momentary Power key presses in full-on/full-off fashion. Each time you

repeat the Power-key press-and-hold it will change to the other mode.

Listening Modes

TVee One includes five Listening Modes for different kinds of audio programs, room acoustics, or personal preferences. It also

furnishes "Night Mode, " which enhances low-volume listening with improved subjective bass response and dialog intelligibility.

You may select a Listening Mode appropriate to your current viewing/listening using either Listening Mode key ( front panel

or remote). Each keypress advances in sequence through the rotation of Dialog Mode, Music Mode, Music-Wide, Movie

Mode, and Movie-Wide...and back to Dialog Mode again. When selected using the remote, TVee One's front panel key LEDs

momentarily display a pattern representing the currently selected mode (see "About the TVee One Display/Listening Mode, " see

page 8). No rules dictate what mode you must use; simply select what sounds best to your ears at any given moment.
