Frequently Asked Questions - PW Soundbar Paradigm

How to connect the soundbar to the Wi-Fi network?

Use the DTS Play-Fi app on your mobile device or PC. Make sure the soundbar is on and in access point mode (Wi-Fi LED pulses slowly). Follow the app instructions to connect your network.

Why is surround sound not reproduced?

Check that your sources are sending a multi-channel encoded signal (Dolby Digital or DTS). If the source is in PCM, the soundbar cannot create surround sound. Refer to the 'Connection' section of the manual for proper connection practices.

Can I use the soundbar as a center channel?

No. The soundbar is designed to work as a complete audio system (stereo or multichannel). It cannot be used solely as a center speaker.

How to install the soundbar on the wall?

Use the provided installation template to mark the mounting holes. Attach the wall mount with screws suitable for your wall (wood or drywall). Hang the soundbar on the shoulder screws. In the menu, select Installation > Wall Mount to optimize sound.

How to sync a wireless subwoofer?

In the menu, go to Subwoofer > Wireless Sub > Sync Subwoofer. The soundbar displays 'Push and Hold Button'. Press and hold the sync button on the subwoofer's wireless receiver until the LED becomes solid and the soundbar shows 'Synced'.

What to do if the soundbar does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is properly connected to the soundbar and to a working wall outlet. If the problem persists, unplug the soundbar, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and turn it on with the Power button.

How to clean the soundbar?

Use a clean, dry cloth (such as a microfiber cloth) to remove dust. Do not spray any cleaning products directly on the soundbar or near the speakers.

Does the soundbar decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio formats?

No. The soundbar does not decode these high-resolution formats. If your source (Blu-ray player) offers these formats, configure it to output a Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround stream.

How to use the DTS Play-Fi app?

Download the DTS Play-Fi app from the App Store or Google Play. Connect your mobile device to the same Wi-Fi network as the soundbar. The app will let you stream music, group speakers, and manage audio settings.

What to do if the remote control does not work?

Replace the batteries with new AAA batteries, respecting polarity. If the problem persists, check that no obstacle is blocking the infrared signal. Contact Paradigm customer service if the remote seems defective.

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

Thank you—the Paradigm owner, for loving what we do, and making it possible for us to do what we love.

Paradigm's dedicated in-house engineering and design team developed the PW SOUNDBAR to deliver exceptional multi-channel performance from a single system that easily integrates and installs in a diverse variety of environments—whether table or wall mounted. The PW SOUNDBAR produces an enveloping field of richly detailed audio for both music and movies via nine high-performance drivers and seven channels of dedicated amplification representing 100 watts of total system power.

Advanced digital signal processing technology allows Paradigm to replace five dedicated home theater speakers with a one piece solution capable of reproducing multi-channel recordings with unflinching accuracy, resolution, and detail—the inspiration behind every Paradigm design. The PW SOUNDBAR reproduces front left, right, and center channels via the system's dedicated tweeters and woofers. Surround channels are simulated using sophisticated digital signal

processing that directs sound from the system's tweeters and woofers throughout the room.

Additionally, for a fully authentic surround sound experience, the PW SOUNDBAR's built in subwoofer wireless transmitter and subwoofer wireless receiver makes connecting a dedicated subwoofer as simple as the push of a button.

A suite of wireless streaming technologies, including DTS Play-Fi®, AirPlay, and Bluetooth®, guarantees compatibility with wireless streaming applications.

Anthem® Room Correction (ARC) allows you to analyze the acoustic response of your listening environment and adjust output of the soundbar for optimal performance.

The simple remote control quickly adjusts volume and selects inputs. The remote also allows you to easily switch between three discrete acoustic modes—'Night' mode (to dial down the bass), 'Bass+' mode (for those moments requiring a little extra thunder), and a 'Normal' mode that restores normal levels.

PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING

LOCATION

We recommend locating the soundbar centered directly above or below your video display. The soundbar menu allows you to optimize acoustic performance for either 'on-wall' or 'on-shelf' installations. You will learn more about accessing these options in the "Controls" section of this manual.

INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE

If you have a surface that provides a wide, level,

and stable platform (such as a table or audio/video rack), the soundbar can be placed directly on top.

When installing the system in this configuration, use the soundbar's menu system to choose 'Installation > Shelf Mount'.

Please note: This speaker is not magnetically shielded and should not be placed directly beneath or on top of a CRT television. The magnetic field will not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.

ON-WALL INSTALLATION

The soundbar can be mounted above or below a television with the feedback display and rear connection panels orientated towards the bottom or top of the soundbar (depending on your specific installation requirements). The information shown on the soundbar display can be flipped to match your installation orientation.

Note: These instructions assume the mounting surface is standard wood frame and sheetrock construction. If you wish to mount to another type of surface, consult a bonded contractor.

Note: When installing the system in this configuration, use the soundbar's menu system to choose 'Installation > Wall Mount'. For more information, see page 18 for details.

Required tools (not included):

• Stud finder
  Level
  Electric drill and drill bits
• Phillips screwdriver

WARNING! We strongly recommend locating the wall bracket so at least one of the screw locations attaches

to a stud. WARNING! To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

Required hardware (included):

(1) Installation template
(1) Wall bracket

Required hardware (not included):

(5) Screws appropriate for mounting surface
(5) Sheet rock anchors (sized for screws)

1. Locate mounting location using a level and the installation template (fig. 1).
2. Mark the three central pilot hole locations and remove the installation template (fig. 1).

Fig. 1

1. Using a stud finder, determine if there is a wall stud directly behind one of the three center screw locations (fig. 2a). If no stud is found: use the center most screw location and drill a pilot hole for the wall anchor. Install a wall anchor at this location. If a wall stud is found: drill a pilot hole into the stud.
2. Using a screw, attach the wall bracket to the wall. DO NOT tighten (fig. 2b).
3. Using a stud finder, determine if a wall stud is directly behind any of the remaining screw locations (fig. 2a).

If no stud is found: use the top and bottom center-most screw locations. If a wall stud is found: use the top and bottom screw locations with a stud behind them.

Use a level to square the wall bracket and mark the remaining pilot hole locations (fig. 2b).

1. Remove the wall bracket or pivot to access the remaining screw locations (fig. 2b).
   If no stud is found: drill pilot holes and install wall anchors. If a wall stud is found: drill pilot holes into the stud.
2. Using the screws, attach the wall bracket to the wall. DO NOT fully tighten.
3. Use a level to square the wall bracket. Tighten all screws (fig. 2b).
4. Attach audio and power cables as needed. Refer to the 'Connection' section of this manual.
5. Move the soundbar into place and drop the shoulder bolts into the wall bracket keyholes. Before releasing, make sure the soundbar has dropped fully into the keyholes and is held firmly in place (fig. 3).

CONNECTION

Turn your soundbar off before making or breaking any signal connections! WARNING! The

power cord should not be installed, removed, or left detached from the soundbar while the other end is connected to an AC power source.

POWER CONNECTION

The power cord should be firmly inserted into the AC power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the soundbar, then to any convenient AC wall outlet. The soundbar also integrates a signal sensing power supply that automatically switches into standby mode after sensing no audio signal for approximately 20 minutes (this will only occur when the menu's power setting is set to 'Auto Standby').

Fig. 4

If you remove your soundbar from the country of original sale, be certain that AC power supplied in any subsequent location is suitable before connecting and operating the soundbar. Substantially impaired performance or severe damage may occur to the soundbar if operation is attempted from an incorrect AC power source.

SIGNAL CONNECTION

When utilizing the soundbar to reproduce audio, a television's audio output should be defeated. Some televisions will allow you to turn off the internal speaker via the television's menu system. Other televisions may require you to turn the television's volume to "zero" or "mute".

Additionally, if you're connecting your television audio output using a HDMI or Digital Optical connection, your television may require you to activate the output and configure it to 5.1 surround sound. Please refer to your television's manual.

Connections are made at the signal input section on the rear electronics panel of the soundbar. Your soundbar features seven wired inputs:

• 3 × HDMI inputs (audio and video)
• 2 × Digital Optical inputs (audio only)
• 2 × Left/Right Analog (RCA) inputs (audio only) Please note, if your soundbar is being used in

an on-wall installation you may find it helpful to use 90^ RCA adapters, 90^ HDMI adapters, and/or low-profile HDMI cables when making signal connections.

When connecting your system, there are any variety of configurations that will work, and these methods will vary based on user preference.

Some users will choose to route all sources (such as DVD player, cable box, game console, media streamer, etc.) to their television via an HDMI, Digital Optical, or Left/Right Analog (RCA) connection and use the television to switch between audio/video sources. The advantage of this connection method is that only one audio cable (either HDMI, Digital Optical, or Left/Right Analog (RCA) needs to connect between the television and the soundbar—and changing the input on your television will change the audio signal being sent to the soundbar (without having to change the input setting on the soundbar itself).

Please note: Many televisions are not capable of passing multi-channel encoded audio signals, as a result they will down-mix these signals to a 2-channel stereo mix before sending them to the television's HDMI, Digital Optical, or RCA output.

We recommend running cables directly from the source components to the soundbar and

run an HDMI cable from the soundbar to the TV to pass along the video signal. This allows the soundbar to receive multi-channel encoded material. Depending on your number of sources, the TV may be used for switching some sources while the primary source devices may be directly connected to the soundbar for guaranteed multi-channel sound. The soundbar's HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows video to pass from the soundbar to the television and audio to pass from the television to the soundbar on the same HDMI cable. If you're using your television as the source, choose the soundbar's HDMI ARC input to hear any sounds originating from your television.

Please note: Not all telvisions are equipped with HDMI ARC technology.

A few important points to remember when connecting your soundbar:

• An HDMI or Digital Optical connection will provide the highest audio fidelity when connected to the soundbar.
• If your soundbar is not producing sound or surround sound from your Blu-ray player, DVD player, or other multi-channel audio capable source, you may need to set the player's digital audio output to "Bitstream" (also called "Raw", "Direct Digital", or "High Bit Rate"). If "PCM" is selected you'll lose the multi-channel encoded sound. Some players only require you to turn PCM off to configure for multi-channel encoded sound. Please refer to your player's manual.
• In a setup where HDMI is used to connect your audio/video source component(s) directly to your television, you will likely need to run an additional HDMI or Digital Optical connection between the source component and your soundbar. This extra connection will allow for multi-channel encoded audio to reach the soundbar. Many televisions that receive audio/video source materials via HDMI do not pass multi-channel encoding when the audio

is passed back out of the television's Digital Optical or Left/Right Analog (RCA) outputs. Instead, many televisions pass a 2-channel mix of the sound, stripping out the center, surround and subwoofer channels from the mix. This is not true for all televisions, but many models work this way. Using an HDMI connection between the television and soundbar will maximize the potential of successfully passing a multi-channel encoded audio signal from the television to the soundbar.

• Audio-only sources capable of only stereo output (such as portable media player docks or CD player) will often connect directly to the soundbar via the Analog Input.

NETWORK CONNECTION

To stream audio to your soundbar via Play-Fi, AirPlay, or Ethernet, a connection to your network must be established using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Refer to the Play-Fi section for details on setting up a connection to your network.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer to reproduce the LFE (low frequency effects) channel information in multi-channel recordings and/or reinforce bass performance of stereo recordings. A Paradigm subwoofer or an alternative brand subwoofer can be connected via the soundbar's "LFE Out" RCA connection.

Additionally, this soundbar integrates a built-in subwoofer wireless transmitter and includes a subwoofer wireless receiver to simplify the connection and placement of a subwoofer within your room.

No Subwoofer(Default)

For systems not using a separate subwoofer, use the soundbar's menu system and choose "Subwoofer

No Sub". This sets the soundbar to reproduce the entire frequency range when playing content.

Wired Subwoofer Connection

Using a high-quality RCA style cable designed for subwoofer connection, connect "Sub Out" from the soundbar to the "LFE In/Sub In" on the subwoofer.

Use the soundbar's menu system and choose 'Subwoofer > Wired Sub'.

Reference your subwoofer's manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub's level and phase controls to achieve proper blending with the soundbar. The subwoofer's crossover should be set to "bypass", "LFE". For subwoofer that do not have a "bypass" or "LFE" crossover setting, we recommend adjusting the crossover to its highest setting.

Wireless Subwoofer Connection

Press the subwoofer's sync button and hold for 3 seconds. The subwoofer's LED will blink quickly.

Use the soundbar's menu system and choose 'SUB > WIRELS > SYNC'. The soundbar will display 'PSH. BTN' [PUSH BUTTON].

If pairing has completed successfully, the subwoofer's LED will stop blinking and remain on and the soundbar will display 'SYNCED'. Please note: If a link is not established after 30 seconds, the subwoofer's LED will start blinking slowly and the soundbar will display 'FAILED'. Repeat ifSyncing fails.

Reference your subwoofer's manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub's level and phase controls. The subwoofer's crossover should be set to "bypass" or "LFE". For subwoofer's that do not have a "bypass" or "LFE" crossover setting, we recommend adjusting the crossover to its highest setting.

Please note: The subwoofer wireless transmitter built in to your Paradigm PW SOUNDDBAR is not compatible with Paradigm's subwoofer with built in subwoofer wireless transmitter technology. You can still utilize

wireless functionality by connecting the included subwoofer wireless receiver to the LFE input on your subwoofer or connecting a Paradigm PT-1 or PT-2 transmitter to the Sub Out on the soundbar.

Please note: If you decide to no longer use wireless, turn off the soundbar's wireless transmitter by using the menu system and choosing 'SUB > WIRELS > TRN.OFF' [TURN OFF] or 'SUB > NO SUB'. Doing this will turn off the transmitter and automatically set the soundbar for no sub.

WARNING! When operating wirelessly, the subwoofer may be susceptible to RF interference in the 2.4GHz bandwidth from microwave ovens and wireless devices such as Wi-Fi systems, video game consoles, cordless telephones, Bluetooth devices, and baby monitors. Generally, this issue (intermittent sound or slight popping noises) is easily resolved by physically separating problematic devices from one another—a distance as little as two feet will often alleviate the interference. In the case of microwave ovens, the interference will only occur when the microwave is operating.

Using a Paradigm Subwoofer

When configuring your subwoofer we recommend beginning with the following settings:

Low-pass: Bypass

Phase: 0^

Volume: Knob set to vertical (12-o'clock to 1-o'clock position).

IR OUTPUT

These jacks accept IR emitters with 3.5mm monostyle connectors. One IR emitter is included with the soundbar. Plug the IR emitter into either of the soundbar's IR Out jacks and place the other end of the IR emitter over the IR sensor on anther piece of equipment. The use of an IR emitter allows the soundbar to pass IR signals from any remote control to a tethered device—allowing control of equipment in locations a remote would not normally reach.

CHANGING THE REMOTE'S BATTERY

Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

The remote control for your speaker uses two AAA type batteries. Access the battery compartment by using a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw located on the bottom of the remote.

PROGRAMMING A SECOND REMOTE

This soundbar can be programmed to respond to a second remote. See "The Menu System" section of this manual for programming instructions.

Please note: There may be remote controls that the soundbar cannot learn or that the soundbar can not learn correctly. Due to the number of available remote controls, it is impossible to advise which will or will not work.

Please note: When learning from a second remote, you will likely find it does not have buttons that directly correspond with all available soundbar commands. Not all soundbar commands have to be programmed. Some remote controls offer 'function' buttons (F1, F2, etc.) that can be used to program unique soundbar commands such as 'NITE.MD' or 'OPTIC'.

Please note: Some remote controls offer discrete 'power on' and 'power off' buttons. Some offer only a single button to toggle power on and off. The learning function of the soundbar allows you to program for either scenario.

DIGITAL INPUTS (HDMI and Digital Optical)

This soundbar is capable of detecting and automatically decoding multi-channel audio formats, such as those found on DVD and Blu-ray movies.

When utilizing a digital connection, the soundbar can process the following formats: Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround™, and digital stereo.

Digital Surround

DOLBY
AUDIO

ANALOG INPUT (RCA)

• Digitally encoded sound information cannot be transmitted to an analog input. This connection method is adequate for most devices that only offer two channels of output (such as VCRs, CD players, older game consoles, or portable media player docks). Although most surround sound capable devices, such as DVD and Blu-ray players, offer both analog and digital connections, the digital connection should always be employed. If a source device is connected via an analog left/right RCA connection, the 5.1-channel encoded audio content will not be sent to the soundbar.

PLAYING AUDIO USING PLAY-FI

Note: Future updates to the DTS Play-Fi application may change functionality.

1. Launch the DTS Play-Fi app on your mobile device or PC (located in the system tray).
2. Android and iOS Device Users: Within the Play-Fi app, select your music source. You can choose from your personal music library, internet radio, or from select online music services (visit our website at paradigm.com to view a full list of available music services). PC Users: Any audio content from your computer can be streamed using DTS Play-Fi.
3. If you have more than one DTS Play-Fi speaker connected to your network, you will be prompted to select the speaker to which you want to stream.

CONTROLLING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS

If you have more than one Play-Fi speaker connected to your network, you can simultaneously stream the same audio to multiple speakers.

1. Android and iOS Device Users: Within the app, press the Play-Fi logo in the lower corner of the app. PC Users: Open the Play-Fi program using the icon in your system tray.
2. Select additional devices to play audio from. PC Users: The free version of the Windows app may not allow streaming to multiple speakers. An upgraded version of the Play-Fi app, with this capability, can be purchased from the website.

Note: 8 DTS Play-Fi speakers can be syncsed to play the same audio content at the same time. We recommend up to 16 DTS Play-Fi speakers on a network for the best experience, but the only limit to connected devices is how many your router can support.

TIP! Primary and Secondary Speakers

When streaming audio content to multiple devices, you will be asked to assign them to two categories: primary and secondary devices. The DTS Play-Fi module requires a primary device be selected. This maximizes synchronization between multiple devices simultaneously streaming the same content.

Select the DTS Play-Fi device with the strongest signal as your primary device. Secondary devices connect to your primary device, so if you disable your primary device, you will need to select a new primary device before audio resumes on your secondary devices.

ADDITIONAL DTS PLAY-FI FEATURES

New versions of the DTS Play-Fi app will add features not mentioned in this manual. Please refer to the app and related documentation for details on new and enhanced features such as streaming different audio content to multiple zones and grouping of two discrete speakers for stereo (left/right) playback.

HOW TO USE CONNECT

You'll need Spotify Premium to use Connect, see details overleaf.

1. Add your new device to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone, tablet or PC (see product user instructions for details).
2. Open the Spotify app on your phone, tablet or PC, and play any song.

3. If you're using the app on a phone - tap the song image in the bottom left of the screen. For tablet and PC move to step 4.

4. Tap the Connect icon

1. Pick your device from the list. If you can't see it, just check it's connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone, tablet or PC.

ARC^TM (ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION)

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 Use ARC Technology:

1. Ensure that your soundbar is connected to your home network and is powered on.

2. IP Control must be "On". To activate, or to verify that it is "On", navigate the menu system to the following location:

IP Control: Power Settings > IP Control > On

1. Download the latest version of ARC-2 software from www.anthemav.com and install it. Follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Using the USB cable, connect the ARC microphone to a Windows PC. The USB cable and ARC microphone are provided with your wireless product.
3. 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.
4. 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 (Fig. 13).
5. For best results, hold the microphone in 5 different positions around the room.

TIP! Once the ARC process is complete, the audio will be played back reflecting these corrections. To turn ARC correction on and off, use the menu and navigate to 'Anthem Room Correction'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my soundbar be used as a dedicated center channel?

No. The soundbar is designed to work as a 2-channel stereo or multi-channel surround sound playback device.

Why is my soundbar not reproducing multi-channel (surround sound) audio?

This could be caused by any number of things. Review the "Connection" section of this manual for a better understanding of recommended connection methods and possible options that might impact the soundbar's ability to receive multi-channel encoded audio from your television and other audio/video source components.

Will this soundbar decode Dolby® TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio™?

No. This soundbar will not decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio™. If your audio source (most likely a Blu-ray player) supports either of these formats, you should configure it to default to the Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround™ encoded sound track.

How do I connect the soundbar if my television does not have a digital optical or coaxial) output?

If your television has analog outputs these can be used instead. For a digital connection connect the digital audio output of your cable box (or DVD, Blu-ray, game console, etc.) directly to the soundbar using a digital optical cable. A direct digital connection with a source component is always ideal.

How do I clean my soundbar?

Use a dust free cloth (such as a micro fiber cloth) or a soft brush to remove dust from your speakers. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in close proximity to the drivers.

Can I mount this soundbar on the wall with a mounting bracket that pivots?

Paradigm does not provide a pivoting wall-bracket for this soundbar. Aftermarket options may exist, but we can not recommend or guarantee a specific brand or model.

I have a Paradigm subwoofer with a built-in wireless receiver. Is my soundbar's built-in subwoofer wireless transmitter compatible with my subwoofer?

No. The subwoofer wireless transmitter built in to your Paradigm PW SOUNDBAR is not compatible with Paradigm's subwoofer with built in subwoofer wireless transmitter technology. You can still utilize wireless functionality by connecting the included subwoofer wireless receiver to the LFE input on your subwoofer or connecting a Paradigm PT-1 or PT-2 transmitter to the Sub Out on the soundbar.

Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics and cables ideal for Paradigm speakers?

We have no favorites and use electronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest listening to a number of brands—and above all else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best source for information when purchasing additional audio equipment.

Is there likely to be any interaction between my speakers and the television in my A/V system?

Yes, but only with CRT televisions. This soundbar is not magnetically shielded and should be kept at least 2 feet away from a CRT television. LCD and plasma televisions will not be affected.

How can I remove the metal perforated grille from the soundbar?

The soundbar's metal perforated grille is not removable.

• Review the "Menu Option: Learn" section of this manual.
• Hold the remote 12 inches (30 cm) from the soundbar during the learning process.
• Press the appropriate button on the second remote four times.
• If the soundbar has already learned a remote code and you are attempting to program the same code to a second function the soundbar will respond with "Fail".
• There may be remote controls that the soundbar cannot learn or that the soundbar can not learn correctly. Due to the number of available remote controls, it is impossible to advise which will or will not work.
• Check the user manual and/or manufacturer's website for your aftermarket remote to see if Paradigm is supported. If so, instead of 'learning' with the soundbar, use the code provided by the manufacturer to program the aftermarket remote itself.

Soundbar remote won't work

• Replace the remote control's batteries with matching batteries.
• Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation.
• If new batteries do not fix the problem, you may have a faulty remote. Call Paradigm customer service at 905-696-2868 for details.
