Frequently Asked Questions - PW LINK Paradigm

How do I connect the PW LINK to my Wi-Fi network?

Make sure your Wi-Fi router is working. Press the Wi-Fi Setup button on the back. The Wi-Fi indicator will slowly pulse. Open the DTS Play-Fi app on your device and follow the instructions to add a new device. For a faster connection, use the 5 GHz band.

What if the DTS Play-Fi app does not find my PW LINK?

Check that the PW LINK is on and the Wi-Fi indicator pulses slowly (Discovery mode). Make sure your device is on the same Wi-Fi network and that Wi-Fi is enabled. Restart your phone/tablet/PC. If the problem persists, perform a factory reset (hold the Power button for 10 seconds) and try again.

How do I reset the PW LINK to factory settings?

Hold down the Power button (⏻) for about 10 seconds. Release as soon as you hear a tone. The mute indicator blinks and the device restarts with factory settings.

How do I use the Anthem Room Correction (ARC) feature?

Download and install the ARC-2 software from paradigm.com/support. Connect the included ARC microphone to your PC via USB. Launch the software and follow the instructions. Place the microphone at 5 different positions in the room, pointing towards the ceiling. The process takes about 15 minutes.

Can I connect multiple Paradigm PW speakers together?

Yes, through the DTS Play-Fi app. Open settings, choose 'Add a Play-Fi device' and follow the instructions. You can create primary and secondary zones for perfect synchronization.

What are the LED indicators on the PW LINK?

The Wi-Fi indicator shows: rapid flashing (startup), flashing (connecting), slow pulsing (setup mode), two flashes pause (WPS mode), solid on (wirelessly connected), off (connected via cable). The Input button is white in network mode, blue in rear input mode.

How do I connect the PW LINK to an existing amplifier?

Use RCA cables (stereo) or an optical digital cable (depending on your amp). Connect the 'Analog Out' or 'Digital Out' outputs of the PW LINK to the corresponding inputs on the amplifier. You can also use the trigger output (mono 3.5 mm cable) to turn on the amp automatically.

What is the warranty for the PW LINK?

The PW LINK is warranted for 1 year against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse. Keep your proof of purchase.

How do I update the firmware of the PW LINK?

CONNECTING PW LINK

1. There are four AC wall plug adaptors included with the PW LINK; assemble the AC power adapter using the correct AC wall plug adaptor for your country (see page 4).
2. Connect the AC Power Adapter cable to the input labeled "DC In" on the rear of the PW LINK; connect the opposite end of the cable to an AC wall outlet.
3. Choose your connection to connect to an existing preamplifier, receiver or amplifier:

RCA Cable Connection: Connect RCA cables (not supplied) to the left and right "Analog Out" jacks on the back of the PW LINK. Connect the opposite end of your RCA cables to the RCA Input jacks on your existing preamplifier, receiver or amplifier inputs.

Digital Cable Connection: Connect a Digital Optical cable (not supplied) to the "Digital Out" jack on the back of the PW LINK. Connect the opposite end of the Digital Optical Cable to a Digital Optical Input jack on your existing preamplifier, receiver or amplifier inputs.

1. Choose your connection for connecting to a CD player, Turntable, etc.:

RCA Cable Connection: Connect RCA cables (not supplied) to the left and right "Analog In" jacks on the back of the PW LINK. Connect the opposite end of your RCA cables to the RCA Output jacks on a CD player, turntable, etc.

Digital Cable Connection: Connect a Digital Optical cable (not supplied) to the "Digital In" on the back of the PW LINK. Connect the opposite end of the Digital Optical cable to a Digital Optical Output jack on a CD player, turntable, etc.

1. If your amplifier has a Trigger Input, you can connect it to the Trigger Output on your PW LINK with a 3.5 mm Mono Male-to-Male cable. The Trigger Output can be used to power on your preamplifier.

PLAY MUSIC & CONNECT MULTIPLE PW SERIES PRODUCTS

Once your Paradigm PW LINK is connected to your home network, you can start playing music anytime.

1. Activate the DTS Play-Fi ^® App on your mobile device or PC. If you have setup more than one Paradigm Premium Wireless Series product, select which one you want to stream music to.
2. Select your music source – personal music library or any subscription-based music service contained on your mobile device or PC, Internet Radio, or from select online music services such as Deezer, Songza, etc. (visit our website at paradigm.com to view a full list of available music services).

How to Connect Multiple Paradigm Premium Wireless Series products:

1. To connect additional Paradigm Premium Wireless Series products to your network, open the DTS Play-Fi® App and select "Setting".
2. Select, "Add Play-Fi Device"
3. Follow the instructions to add each Paradigm Premium Wireless Series product.

Primary/Secondary Zones:

When using the DTS Play-Fi® App on your device, you will notice when streaming music to your Paradigm Premium Wireless Series product that there are two groups: Primary and secondary zones. The DTS Play-Fi® module within your Paradigm Premium Wireless Series product requires that a primary speaker be selected to create a new listening session or zone. The purpose of this is to eliminate any echo, found on other ecosystems, and to maximize synchronization down to 1 millisecond.

We suggest that you select the Paradigm Premium Wireless Series product with the strongest signal strength as your primary device. It should be noted that secondary speakers are connected to your primary speaker, so if you disable your primary speaker for any reason, your secondary speaker will be temporarily unavailable until a primary speaker is selected again.

ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION (ARC ^TM )

Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room itself still has a dramatic impact on any system's sound, an impact more profound than that of any individual component. Various solutions have fallen in and out of favor over the years, but none has solved the problem of "the room." Until ARC.

Using proprietary processes and the power of your PC, the ARC system analyzes each speaker's in-room sound, then computes the required correction to yield optimal performance from every speaker. It's a process that takes approximately 15 minutes. Anthem's approach is a true audiophile solution to the problems of the room.

IMPORTANT! The listening space must be silent while performing ARC. A noisy computer fan, a dishwasher or microwave running, etc. can negatively affect ARC's measurements.

How to Correct Room Deficiencies using ARC Technology :

1. Ensure that your Paradigm PW LINK is already connected on your home network and is powered "on".
2. Download the ARC software from paradigm.com/support and install it. Once the drivers are installed, follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Using the 6.5' (2 m) USB cable, connect the ARC microphone to a Windows® PC running Windows® 7, 8, 8.1, ou 10 (32 and 64 bit).

4. Look for the icon on your desktop and launch the ARC ^™ program. Follow the prompts on your computer screen to successfully run the ARC ^™ software; the entire process should take approximately 15 minutes.

5. Hold the ARC microphone with your arm fully extended, the ARC microphone tip must point towards the ceiling and it must be positioned at ear level. Refer to the diagram below.

6. For best results, hold the microphone in 5 different positions around the room.

TIP! Once the ARC process is complete, the corrected listening curves will be stored and music will be played back reflecting these corrections each time you stream music to your Paradigm PW LINK. To toggle back and forth between pre and post ARC correction, or to disable ARC refer to the "Mute Button (4)" section on page 6.
