NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

You must have the following to connect your Paradigm product to your network:

• A high-speed DSL/Cable modem or a fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for reliable playback of music services based on the internet. Note: Satellite internet services are prone to playback issues due to fluctuating download rates.
• If your modem is not a modem/router combination you must purchase and install a router into your home network before proceeding.
• If you plan to use the DTS Play-Fi App on an Android or iOS device or you are setting up a Paradigm product for Wi-Fi streaming, you will need a wireless router.
• Have your network password ready before connecting the Paradigm product to your network.

NOTE: To make the quickest connection, use a dual-band router and connect your Paradigm Product to the 5 GHz network instead of the 2.4 GHz Network.

NOTE: If your wireless connectivity is weak or not available, connect your Paradigm product to your router with an ethernet cable (not included).

TIP! Paradigm Premium Wireless Series products communicate with wireless networks that support 802.11 g/n wireless technology. For the fastest streaming performance, a network that supports 802.11 n wireless technology is recommended. A network supporting 802.11 b may be used, but it will effectively stream to only one device equipped with DTS Play-Fi.

TIP! For superior performance connect your PC or NAS (Network-Attached Storage) drive that holds your personal music library to your network router using the provided Ethernet cable.

PLAY MUSIC & CONNECT MULTIPLE PW SERIES PRODUCTS

Once your PW 300 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 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™)

If you wish to use Anthem Room Correction on the PW 300, it must be connected to a Paradigm PW Soundbar in a wireless theater application. The PW Soundbar is the main source for

audio streaming when paired with the PW 300. The PW 300 will act strictly as a surround speaker and cannot be used as a single source for music playback for both DTS Play-Fi & Bluetooth.

NOTE: A Paradigm PW Soundbar and a device with the DTS Play-Fi app is required in order to complete this setup.

Once the PW Soundbar has been connected to your network, proceed with the Surround Sound setup in your DTS Play-Fi app.

Start by simply tapping on the Settings icon on the main page of the DTS Play-Fi app, then navigate to the Surround Sound option. This will open the Settings page for Surround Sound, and since you haven't set up DTS Play-Fi Surround Sound yet, it will prompt you to do so by tapping on the + button down in the lower right.

Set Up Play-Fi Device Rename Music Services Speaker Groups Spotify Groups Stereo Pairs Surround Sound Update System Troubleshooting Surround Sound PRESS THE ADD BUTTON BELOW TO SET UP SURROUND SOUND.

Surround Set-Up will begin and the app will preface with some information and instructions. Once you proceed, the app will detect if there are products available on the network that can support DTS Play-Fi Surround Sound, or if there are products that need an update from the manufacturer to enable support.

The guided setup will walk you through selecting a speaker to set the correct placement and distance (this and other settings can be adjusted later after setup is complete). This process is the same for all three speaker placements, but the PW Soundbar (Front position speaker) must be designated as a DTS Play-Fi Surround Sound Master.

NOTE: The PW 300 must be connected to the wireless network for the Wireless Surround Setup procedure. If your

PW 300 is wired to your network, disconnect the Ethernet cable and connect it wirelessly to your wireless network.
