Sound Bar System with Wireless Streaming
The W Studio sound bar system is Denitive Technology’s agship wireless
soundbar that perfectly blends high-performance theater sound with hiresolution musical reproduction. The W Studio’s purposefully slim design (only
3.5” deep) is only overshadowed by its t and nish, featuring solid aluminum
end caps. The W Studio uses Denitive Technology’s proprietary Spatial Array
technology that aids in creating a high-denition, room-lling 5.1 channel
surround sound experience.
The compact wireless subwoofer creates waves of big bass via its downward
ring 8-inch woofer, bass port and robust 200 Watt amplier. HDMI
switching for both audio and video maximizes this home theater’s high
performance potential.

Hooking Up Your W Studio to Your TV
Connection Method #1
All sources into your W Studio via HDMI
(recommended)
Studio
owner’s manual
Connection Method #3
All sources into your TV with 3.5mm
analog mini-jack to the sound bar.
TV
HDMI
IN
Blu-ray
Cable
The HDMI cable runs from the HDMI output of the W Studio to an HDMI
input on the TV set.
You will use the W Studio remote for switching between the sources you have
connected to the system (Blu-Ray player, cable box etc.). We recommend this
method; it ensures the highest resolution audio and video signals for the best
possible audio performance.
NOTE: For greater convenience, you can program the W Studio to respond
to the power, volume, mute, and source select commands of your TV or cable
box remote. See the “IR Learn” section of the OSD Set-up Menu Functions for
instructions.
Connection Method #2
All sources into your TV, with TOSLINK
optical audio output from the TV set to the
sound bar.
HDMI IN
R
L
Blu-ray
Cable
INPUTS
NOTE: Some older TV’s have only an analog output connection. In this
scenario, the TV does all the switching between sources and the W Studio is
always set to INPUT #4. A Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio signal cannot
be passed through a TV’s analog output connection. The best audio signal
quality that can be reproduced using this method is two-channel stereo audio.
This method is the least-preferred connection method of the three described
here.
Pairing the Subwoofer
The sound bar and the subwoofer come paired from the factory. All you do
is plug in the subwoofer’s power cord and turn on the ON/OFF POWER
switch. When you turn on the sound bar, both the bar and subwoofer will
establish a communication link.

OUT
Blu-ray
Cable
The TV does all the switching between sources, and the sound bar is
always set to INPUT #5.
NOTE: Most TV’s cannot pass a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel audio
signal through an optical audio output connection. They can only pass
2 channel stereo through Toslink. The W Studio will simulate a surround
experience, but it will not be as effective as when processing a true 5.1
digital surround signal. This hookup method offers convenience: most
functions (including source switching) can be done through one remote
control, such as your cable box or TV remote. But you won’t get the best
system sound quality, or be able to use all of the features of the W Studio,
including your OSD (on-screen displays).
