Sound & Remote Distance,

I called Boston Acoustics and they advised that depending on the TVee Model you have you can fix the issue off the remote not working well from a father distance.
Take the cover or grill off the soundbar. Under the MUTE button there is a sensor that has a cover. Remove the cover and this should give you up to 20 feet distance. As long as the soundbar is not in direct sunlight this is ok.I will be trying this as soon as I egt home tnight but thought I would send this out as soon as possible

TVee Model 25 Review,

I was looking for a system that could be used between home and my motorhome. This system works perfectly! Great sound within the house and very simple to set up in the motorhome. Sound quality was super and not having to run cables in the motorhome for the sub-woofer was a good fit. No need for rear speakers as this system does just fine. The remote control was easy to program. The only negative was trying to remove the darn label off of the front grill. I recommend this product to others looking for a simple solution to upgrading your audio system.

Model 25 sound bar,

The function of a sound bar is to enhance audio output. This unit rates tops for its cost. There is a trick in the set up of the remote control. When setting it up you must always start with the up volume transfer on each of the control functions. i.e. You must press the up volume on the sound to get an orange light then press the other function then four slow inpulses 0n the same function on the remote close to the sensoe.

remote problems,

Purchased the TVee Model 25 Soundbar to improve sound on my new 42 inch HDTV. The setup was easy, the sound is great, but i agree with many others that the range for using a remote is lousy. And the instructions for how to program the remote are terrible. The sound quality is so good that it is a shame the remote will not work if you are more than 4 feet away.

Good sound but.....,

We recently had this BA sound system set up with our new TV. We love the great sound however the grill or cover doesn't fit well and Boston has stuck a label on the grill and it WILL NOT come off easily. Had to remove the already poorly fitting grill and run water over it and the sticky stuff still didn't come off. BA needs to rethink that label on the front.

Needs more volume & better remote control sensor design,

I bought & returned this unit this weekend. (It was even on sale for $249.) This unit was intended for use with a 50" Plasma in a large / wide room. The good...The sound quality was great and beat out several much more expensive models. It also auto-detects the audio feed for both Automatic Turn On & OFF. The bad.....Running it at maximum volume, the unit sounded great...BUT I was running this at MAX VOLUME. Where is the headroom??? Also, like others mentioned...using the remote straight-on to control the unit worked fine. But, go a little bit to either side and the grill blocks light getting to the sensor. They should have added some optics, like a light-pipe, to poke through the grill. Bottom line..... This unit is ideal for a small / narrow room and for someone who does not want to fuss with anything. But, for a large / wide room, pick something else.

Great Product - But Timely Sticker Removal,

Shifted from a Bose system costing a few hundred more and am very satidfied with the sound quality. The wireless range for the sub was great in my home (about 15 feet away), I was able to program my TiVo remote to control the unit, and set-up for all (with about 10 minutes of remote programming) took about 12 minutes. The biggest negative was the sticker on the front of the grill. Even with GooGone it took 30 minutes to get the damn thing off. Setup is easy, but getting it to look nice in your home takes twice as long.

I researched and listened to many other systems in this price range and this system sounded the best. I agree with the I.R range issue, this is the only thing that could be improved. System has deep full sounding surround sound when others sound hollow and tinny. I would recommend this system to anybody Cheers !!

Tvee Model 25,

The Good: Sound quality is good.
The Bad: 1.Set-up is extremely difficult, especially programming the remotes - the manual is very poorly written for this purpose. Had to call technical support to receive better procedure. After that, it worked.
2. The front grille does not fit properly. This is a design and manufacturing issue. The control buttons are inside the grill after mounting the grille - very difficult to operate the buttons..

Exactly what I wanted!,
6/27/2011
Was looking for something with a little more volume than the TV had to offer. This works perfectly. Crystal clear sound, very natural sounding. Not muddy. No overpowering bass...just very pleasing sound.
Think I'm going to purchase another for my other TV.

Tried several other Brands before this one,

I purchased several other brands of soundbar/wireless sub systems and returned all of them for various reason : poor sound quality, lack of connectivity, ect.
My next and LAST purchase was the Boston Acoustics TVee Model 25. The installation was simple, and the sound is amazing!! You can adjust the sound level on the bar itself and the subwoofer as well to achive your desired results. I had no idea it was possible to have the clarity of sound in a unit like this. No wires to run through the ceiling and hide like a traditional home theater. I highly recomend skipping out on the other brands and save your time by going with the best.......BUY this unit. You will not be disapointed!!

Sounds great, but IR range for remote is a major negative,

Reviewer:

I bought this system to accompany a 50" Panasonic plasma. Sound is great.
One big negative is the very limited IR range of any remote used for the soundbar. I have tried my television and my cable remote, both with the same result. Very limited range, only works when you are a few feet directly in front of the soundbar.
When I called Boston Acoustics for support, I was told to just remove the speaker grill. This wasn't an acceptable solution to the problem for a variety of reasons. I hope someone from BA reads this and has some better suggestions.
Thanks.
