Sound Bar System with Wireless Streaming
The W Studio sound bar system is Definitive Technology’s flagship 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 fit and finish, featuring solid aluminum end caps. The W Studio uses Definitive Technology’s proprietary Spatial Array technology that aids in creating a high-definition, room-filling 5.1 channel surround sound experience.
The compact wireless subwoofer creates waves of big bass via its downward firing 8-inch woofer, bass port and robust 200 Watt amplifier. HDMI switching for both audio and video maximizes this home theater’s high performance potential.
The Definitive Technology Wireless Collection
The W Studio is part of Definitive Technology’s Wireless Collection which is an all-encompassing solution for distributing audiophile-grade music anywhere or everywhere in your home. The W Studio can be used as a
stand-alone wireless speaker or as part of a family. Stream your favorite music services, internet radio and your personal digital music library all from your smartphone, tablet or computer. What’s more, the streamlined setup process allows you to be up and running in a matter of minutes. And because you can Mix-and-match speakers with the open DTS Play-Fi® technology standard, future-proofing your technology has never been easier.

Unpacking your W Studio

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.
INPUTS
HDMI IN |
Blu-ray |
TV

OUT
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.
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).
