Home Network Basics

In general, Wi-Fi is the wireless streaming of data over a network. Here,
Wi-Fi audio is the streaming of music throughout a home by connecting multiple
speakers and/or devices to a wireless network. The controller for the Denitive
Technology Wireless Collection is the Denitive Technology App, which sends
music information to each DTS Play-Fi enabled speaker or device.

For The Best Music Streaming Experience

To ensure your system is operating under the best environment possible, here
are a few additional tips:

• For the fastest streaming performance, especially when connecting
to multiple speakers simultaneously, an 802.11N router or better is
recommended.

• Ensure the DTS Play-Fi device is within wireless reach of your router,
or that the signal is not blocked by concrete, brick, or other walls. The
quality of your connection can be observed in the Denitive App by
the Wireless Strength icon.

or better.*
