owner's manual Adding or Controlling Multiple DTS Play-Fi Enabled Devices to your System The Wireless Collection makes creating a whole house wireless music system as simple as pushing a button or two. Add more speakers, a sound bar, an amp or adapter to an existing audio system. The Definitive App and your home network do the rest. To add additional DTS Play-Fi devices: • From the Definitive App home page, choose "Settings." • From the "Settings" screen, choose "Add DTS Play-Fi Device." • Follow the app's instructions to add the device to your list. Maximum number of rooms/zone supported: Eight separate wireless source devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.), each with its own source, are supported simultaneously and any wireless source device can stream to 8 playback devices. Due to bandwidth limitations of most wireless networks, we do not recommend more than 16 wireless DTS Play-Fi products on the Wi-Fi network at a given time. With hard-wired Ethernet connections (customary for audio/video racks or in custom installation configurations), up to 256 devices can be theoretically supported. Call the Aficionado hotline for more information.

The most commonly used wireless band -- 2.4 GHz - can often times be congested and slow, especially in environments where you have many routers sending wireless signals (ex. mixed-use developments like apartment buildings). In these instances, the Wireless Collection can also jump onto the 5 GHz band. Creating a Stereo Pair Creating a stereo pair with two Definitive Technology Wireless speakers will make your music sound even more extraordinary. Setup is easy: • First, make sure the two speakers you want to make a stereo pair are in the same room. • From your list of devices, go the upper right-hand corner and select the three dots. • From the drop-down menu, select "Stereo Setup." • Press "Select a Stereo Pair." • From your list of speakers, you will first choose the LEFT speaker. • Next choose the RIGHT speaker. • Name the Stereo Pair. • The name of the Stereo Pair will appear on the "Create a Stereo Pair" screen. • You're finished. Enjoy! Primary vs. Secondary Speakers Once inside the Definitive Technology app, you will notice that when sending music to your devices, they are grouped into primary and secondary zones. The DTS Play-Fi software requires that a primary speaker be selected to create a new listening session or zone. This is designed to maximize synchronization down to 1 millisecond, thereby eliminating any sound echo that can be found from other ecosystems. Please call the dedicated Definitive Technology Aficionado hotline at 1-800-223-5246 for further questions related to dual-band capabilities. DTS Play-Fi Accepted File Formats: • mp3 (MPEG Layer III) • m4a and aac (Advanced Audio Coding) • flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec) • wav (Waveform Audio File) File Quality: • Lossless file reproduction up to 16-bit/48kHz (CD Quality) and proper file handling for full compatibility with all high-resolution music up to 24bit/192k. • Plays all format bitrates [kbps]. DTS Play-Fi transmits hi-resolution files, but it does down-sample them so that they can be distributed throughout a home. Our recommendation for your listening environment is to always select as your primary device the DTS Play-Fi enabled product with the strongest signal strength. Note, however, that secondary speakers are connected to your primary speaker. As such, if you disable your primary speaker, your secondary speakers will likewise be temporarily disabled until a primary speaker is once again selected. www.definitivetech.com 5
