Connections

Lan Port

This port allows you to plug the WFA400 directly into your
network. Once the WFA400 is connected it should auto­matically detect and setup all four zones. The zones will
be displayed in the device menu of the Hi-Fly app. Please
ensure that your phone or wireless device is connected to
the same network.

Wi-Fi

If you choose to set up the WFA400 wirelessly, each zone
will need to be setup individually through the Hi-Fly app.
Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions for wire­less setup of each zone.

Line Out

Connect the analog line output to any line level input on

your audio amplier or powered speakers. This line level

output will be the most commonly used audio connection
and will work with most audio devices.

Digital Coax Out

The digital coax output can be used if your audio ampli-

er has a digital coax input. Digital coax can handle two or

more channels of audio through a single cable. This cable
shares the same RCA connectors as a line level cable, but
will only work when plugged into a digital coax input.

Digital Optical Out

The digital optical output connection will be available on

most modern audio ampliers. This uses a toslink-type ber

optic cable instead of copper-stranded RCA patch cables
like line level or coax.

Line In

This allows an outside line level source (CD player, com­puter, TV etc.) to be added to each zone as an additional
source of music. This input can be selected in the “Music”
menu of the Hi-Fly app (*See images below).

USB (Media player)

Plug in a USB thumb drive for an additional source of mu­sic. This input can be selected in the “My Music” menu of
the Hi-Fly app (**See images below).

*Selecting Line Input via Hi-Fly app:

First connect the external audio source to the line input of
the zone you choose for audio playback. Open the Hi-Fly

app and nd the Zone in the device menu and select the

Line In option from the music menu.

**Selecting USB input via Hi-Fly app:

First connect the USB media device to the zone you choose
for audio playback. Open the Hi-Fly app and select "My
Music" from the music menu, choose USB DISK to select
the songs from the USB media device.
