Getting Started
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 Denitive
Technology Wireless Collection is the Denitive 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 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 Denitive App by
the Wireless Strength icon.

Network and System Requirements
It all begins by building a wireless home network, preferably one with a
high-speed Internet connection. Here’s what you’ll need to connect your
W Amp to your network:
• A Wireless Network connected to the internet with an 802.11g router
or better.*
• An Android device with version 2.2 operating system or newer OR
an iOS device with version 6.0 operating system or newer.
• The password for your wireless network (if required).
*Router type is usually listed on the router, itself. Please call the dedicated
Denitive Technology Acionado hotline at 1-800-223-5246 for further
questions related to router type.

Connecting W Amp to Speakers
Your speakers should be rated to handle at least 75W for 8 Ohm speakers,
and at least 150W for 4 Ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at
less than 4 Ohms to the W Amp.
If you’re using speaker wire only (no banana plugs), simply loosen the binding
post caps to uncover the connection hole.
Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, then tighten the cap
securely. The bare wire should be held firmly in the binding post.
If you’re using banana plugs, insert the plug into the back of the binding post
until a tight connection is made.
NOTE: Connect the red (positive +) and black (negative -) terminals from each
speaker to the corresponding binding posts on the W Amp, identified by a
red ring (+) and a black ring (-) respectively. Do not mismatch polarities, as this
will result in weak, distorted sound.
