Using Button Combinations

Using the remote control learning function

If your TV is connected to the sound bar using the optical cable and you are not able to control the volume of the sound bar with your TV remote, you can use the Remote Control Learning function to control volume and mute functions on your sound bar.

IMPORTANT: Hold both remotes about 12″ (30 cm) directly in front of the sound bar when pressing their respective buttons, and make sure your remotes have fresh batteries.

Entering remote control learning Mode
Make sure your sound bar is powered on, then press and hold the input and Volume up button on the sound bar for about 5 seconds. When you hear a two- note tone, release the button. You should now see yellow light breath.

1. Select a button on your Boston sound bar remote. Press and release the button on the Boston remote that you want to learn (ex: Volume Up). You will hear a single tone and see yellow light pulsing.
2. Select a button on your TV remote. Press and release the button on your TV remote that you want to assign to the button you selected in Step 1.
3. Verify the results. · If you hear a single tone and see green light, the command was successfully learned. · If you hear a two-note tone and see red light, the command was not learned.
4. Learn another code. When you see the yellow light breath again, you are ready to select your next function to learn by repeating steps 1­3.

Exiting remote control learning Mode
Press and hold the Input and Volume up button on the sound bar again for about 5 seconds. When you hear a two-note tone, release the button. Note: The sound bar will automatically exit IR learn mode if it has not received any IR commands for 60 seconds. All learned IR commands will automatically be saved.

Clearing learned remote control Codes
Press and hold the Input and Volume up button on the sound bar for about 10 seconds. You will hear a two-note tone. Continue holding the button and release the button after you hear a three-note tone.

USING BLUETOOTH MODE

Your sound bar supports music streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information.

• Once you have paired your source device to the sound bar, as long as you stay within range of the sound bar, your device should remain paired. The Bluetooth name is displayed as “Boston Acoustics TVee”.
• If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect.
• If the source is changed back to Bluetooth, any paired Bluetooth device will reconnect
  automatically.

Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:

• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source device closer to the sound bar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the sound bar and the source device.
• Other wireless devices can affect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning off or moving these devices may improve Bluetooth range.

WARNING
Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the sound bar before pressing Play. High volume levels can damage your hearing.

Tips and troubleshooting

There is no power.

• Press the POWER button on the remote control or on the top of your sound bar.
• Ensure the power cord is securely connected.
• Plug a different device into the electrical outlet to verify that the outlet is working correctly.

I don’t hear any sound.

• Increase the volume. Press Volume Up on the remote control or on the top of your sound bar.
• Press MUTE on the remote to ensure the sound bar is not muted.
• Press INPUT on the remote or on the top of your sound bar to select a different input source.
• When using the optical input, if there is no audio: (A) Try setting the TV output to PCM or (B) Connect directly to your Blu-ray/other source, some TVs do not pass through digital audio.
• On the optical input, the input LEDs will flash rapidly and vocally announce “Format Not Supported” if an unsupported format is present. Set the source to output PCM.
• Your TV may be set to variable audio output. Confirm that the audio output setting is set to FIXED or STANDARD, not VARIABLE. Consult your TV’s user manual for more detailed information.
• If using Bluetooth, ensure that the volume on your source device is turned up and that the device is not muted.

I hear buzzing or humming.

• Ensure all cables and wires are securely connected.
• Connect a different source device (TV, Blu-ray player, etc) to see if the buzzing persists. If it does not, the problem may be with the original device.
• Connect your device to a different input on the sound bar.

Tips and troubleshooting

The remote isn’t working.

• Replace the remote batteries with new ones.
• Point the remote directly at the center of the Sound Bar when pressing a button.
• If using a Bluetooth connection, some of the buttons on the remote may not be supported by
  the streaming application. (e.g., Pandora doesn’t support the Back button.)

How do I perform a factory reset?

• Press and hold the Bluetooth and Input buttons at the white light flashes 3 times, then release the buttons.
• The light will turn off indicating the reset sequence has started.
