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 Definitive Technology Wireless Collection is the Definitive Technology App, which sends music information to each DTS Play-Fi enabled speaker or device.

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

Definitive Technology Aficionado hotline at 1-800-223-5246 for further questions related to router type.

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 Definitive App by the Wireless Strength icon.

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.
