Frequently Asked Questions - W Studio DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY

How do I connect the W Studio soundbar to my TV?

Use the HDMI ARC port for best audio quality. Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the soundbar's HDMI ARC port and the other to your TV's HDMI ARC port. Then select the correct input on the soundbar using the remote or source button.

Can I pair my smartphone via Bluetooth?

Yes, press the Bluetooth button on the remote or soundbar to enter pairing mode. Enable Bluetooth on your phone, select 'Definitive Technology W Studio' from the list, and confirm.

What should I do if there is no sound?

Check that the soundbar is powered on and the correct input is selected. Ensure the TV audio output is set to HDMI ARC or Optical, and the volume is not muted. Try a different source or cable to isolate the issue.

How do I wall-mount the soundbar?

Use the included wall mount bracket. Mark the screw positions on the wall using the bracket as a guide, drill holes, insert wall anchors (if needed), and attach the bracket. Then slide the soundbar onto the bracket until it clicks into place.

Does the W Studio soundbar include a subwoofer?

The W Studio soundbar is designed to work with a wireless subwoofer (sold separately). It has a dedicated wireless output for pairing with Definitive Technology subwoofers. The soundbar itself does not contain a built-in subwoofer.

How do I clean and maintain the soundbar?

Unplug the soundbar before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or liquids. Do not spray water directly onto the unit. Ensure ventilation grills are free of dust.

Can I control the soundbar with my TV remote?

Yes, if your TV supports HDMI-CEC. Enable CEC in your TV settings. Then the TV remote can control power and volume. For full functionality, use the included remote.

What is the power consumption of the soundbar?

The soundbar consumes up to 50W during normal use and less than 0.5W in standby mode. It operates on AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz.

Studio

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 hi-resolution 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 PlayFi® technology standard, future-proofing your technology has never been easier.

Hooking Up Your W Studio to Your TV

Connection Method #1

All sources into your SoloCinema Studio via HDMI (recommended)

The HDMI cable runs from the HDMI output of the SoloCinema Studio to an HDMI input on the TV set.

You will use the SoloCinema 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 SoloCinema 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.

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 SoloCinema 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 SoloCinema Studio, including your OSD (on-screen displays).

Connection Method #3

All sources into your TV with 3.5mm analog mini-jack to the sound bar.

NOTE: Some older TV's have only an analog output connection. In this scenario, the TV does all the switching between sources and the SoloCinema 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.

Getting Started

Home Network Basics

In general, Wi-Fi is the wireless streaming of data over a network. Here, Wi-Fi audio is the streaming of music throughout a home by connecting multiple speakers and/or devices to a wireless network. The controller for the Definitive Technology Wireless Collection is the Definitive Technology App, which sends music information to each DTS PlayFi enabled speaker or device.

Network and System Requirements

It all begins by building a wireless home network, preferably one with a high-speed Internet connection. Here's what you'll need to connect your W Studio to your network:

• A Wireless Network connected to the internet with an 802.11g router or better.*
• An Android device with version 2.2 operating system or newer OR an iOS device with version 6.0 operating system or newer.
• The password for your wireless network (if required).
  *Router type is usually listed on the router, itself. Please call the dedicated Definitive Technology Aficionado hotline for further questions related to router type.

For The Best Music Streaming Experience

To ensure your system is operating under the best environment possible, here are a few additional tips:

• For the fastest streaming performance, especially when connecting to multiple speakers simultaneously, an 802.11n router or better is recommended.
• Ensure the DTS Play-Fi device is within wireless reach of your router, or that the signal is not blocked by concrete, brick, or other walls. The quality of your connection can be observed in the Definitive App by the Wireless Strength icon.

Connecting Your W Studio

Wi-Fi Setup

1. To ensure easy setup, place your W Studio near your internet-connected wireless router. When setup is complete, you can move your device anywhere you want to.
2. Connect the included power cable to the W Studio and a power outlet. The device will power on automatically.
3. The white light on the back will blink quickly for about 20 seconds, after which it will begin to pulse slowly.

Working with NAS Drives, PCs, and OSX Devices

The Definitive App is capable of recognizing any Media Server or NAS Drive that is broadcasting over your home network and that's configured for open access using the DINA protocol.

Using the DTS Play-Fi Windows app, the Definitive Wireless Collection products will play any file capable of being played by the Windows operating system, including all music services. See "Downloading the DTS Play-Fi App" above to learn more.

Because OSX devices don't support DLNA, a third party software (ex. Twonky, Plex or Servio) must be downloaded for them to be visible to the network. Once downloaded, all locally stored content on OSX-based devices will show up within the Definitive Technology app under "Media Server."

Playing Music

Now that you're connected, open the Definitive Technology app to begin playing music. Start by selecting the preferred music source. The next step is to select the device(s) from which you want to hear the music. When done, click "Next." You can now select the music you want to play.

Music Choices to Select from Include:

Your Personal Music Library—hear all the music on your phone, tablet or computer for the first time in high quality audio and through your Definitive speakers. It never sounded better.

Internet Radio—Enjoy radio stations from around the world, in virtually any genre, and all of it free. Internet Radio has 37,000 stations with popular brands like Disney, BBC, NPR, Fox News Radio, Wall Street Journal Radio and more.

Online Services—Stream the most popular online music services including Pandora and Songza. For the most updated list of music services, visit www.definitivatech.com. Services like KKBox, QQMusic and Deezer are available in select countries outside of North America.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

D.

Tabletop Mounting

SoloCinema Studio comes with extra riser feet (two per side) that magnetically attach to the bar to raise it as much as 15.2 mm [5/8"] off the tabletop so the bar will clear the TV's protruding table stand.

Attach magnetic feet: Peel off the protective cover and expose the magnets. Attach the feet to the bottom edge of the sound bar.

What if the bar blocks your TV's remote IR receiver?

NOTE: The SoloCinema Studio could block your TV's remote "eye," making it impossible to control the TV via remote control, so we supply an IR flasher. Plug the flasher into the bar's IR output and position it in front of the TV's eye.

For custom installations: the IR input is more likely to be used with a home automation system, like Crestron or Control 4. This is often just an electrical connection to a piece of equipment.

Mounting the Sound Bar on the Wall

The SoloCinema Studio sound bar has built-in keyhole slots so you can wall-mount it beneath your wall-mounted television. Spacers are included to help secure and install your sound bar on the wall.

NOTE: DO NOT mount the sound bar directly to the wall. You must use the supplied wall-mount spacers to ensure proper operation and reliability.

NOTE: DO MAKE SURE you are using a wall anchor of suitable load-bearing capacity (13.65 lb).

Tips For Wall Mounting the Sound Bar

Leveling the sound bar: Use a bubble level to make sure the bar is level. Mark holes with pencil, taking the keyhole slot measurement from the bar.

Drill Screw Holes in Wall: Pre-drill the pilot-hole locations for mounting screws (not included). Use screws rated to hold securely in the wall material and have screw heads at least 0.33" (8.5 mm) in diameter.

NOTE: Measure Twice Make sure the sound bar clears the ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames. Leave at least 1-2" (25-50 mm) above the sound bar location to allow the sound bar to slide onto the screws. Make sure the center of the bar is centered with the TV screen's center point.

Hang Sound bar on Posts: Line up the bar so that the screw heads slide into the keyhole slots. Slide the bar down so the screw heads hold the bar firmly in place.

1. Q: Does the SoloCinema support 3D video?

Answer: Yes, via the HDMI 1.4a inputs and output to the TV.

1. Q: How do I set the crossover and channel balance settings?

Answer: You don't need to make any crossover settings or adjustments. SoloCinema Studio is a complete system, with subwoofer and main system crossover points already preset.

1. Q: Where should I put the subwoofer?

Answer: We encourage subwoofer experimentation! Your subwoofer and room interact to create the bass that you hear and feel. In general, placing the subwoofer along the wall, or in a corner, will reinforce the bass response and create a better listening experience. The subwoofer is wireless, so try different places in the room until you are satisfied with the bass that you experience.

1. Q: Should I mount the bar below, or above, my TV set?

Answer: The bar can be placed either above, or below, the TV set, but close to ear level will sound best.

1. Q: Can the sound bar be mounted to TV brackets that feature pivoting arms?

Answer: Yes, but make sure that you leave enough clearance below the TV to mount the sound bar! The combined weight of the TV, the bracket, and the SoloCinema Studio sound bar MUST be less than the rated weight capacity of the TV mount being used. You may or may not need to use the SoloCinema wall bracket, depending upon the pivoting mount being used.

1. Q: I can hear sound coming out of the bar, but don't see anything on the television.

Answer: Getting multiple components to talk to each other can sometimes be problematic. Some owners occasionally experience issues such as:

- "I can see picture on the TV, but I can't hear anything out of the bar."

- "I plugged in a source with HDMI and it just doesn't work."

- "A component in my system is frozen and won't let me control it."

HDMI is an elegant, high performance way to connect audio/video components. In rare circumstances, such issues as the ones listed above can occur. When you encounter problems like this, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Confirm that the Television and SoloCinema Studio are set to the correct inputs and that the Volume is set to a reasonable level

2. Toggle inputs on the bar (select a different input and then switch back)

3. Confirm that all cables are plugged in completely

4. Unplug the HDMI cable from the source and plug it back in

5. Power cycle all components in the system

6. Unplug the power cable from each component in the entire system (TV, SoloCinema Studio, and all sources). Wait 3 minutes before restoring power.

NOTE: If the trouble shooting tips above do not help you resolve your issue, please ensure that all devices in your system have up-to-date firmware. With many of todays 'Smain' (internet connected) TV's, Blu-ray players, and game systems, this can be as easy as going into a menu and instructing the device to check for updates. We recommend installing any and all updates when they become available for all your devices.

Dual-Band Capabilities

Definitive Technology Wireless Collection products all have "dual-band" capabilities. 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.

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 PlayFi transmits hi-resolution files, but it does down-sample them so that they can be distributed throughout a home.

Software Updates

In the spirit of improving the performance and functionality of your system, software updates will be required from time to time. To download those updates, we highly encourage you to register your Definitive product during the setup process. On the home page of the app, scroll down to "Aficionado Services" and follow the instructions.

Basic Troubleshooting

Under "Settings" on the Definitive App home page, you will find a category called Troubleshooting.

This link will take you to the DTS Play-Fi Knowledge Base https://play-fi.com/faq?support. Note that quite often an issue can be traced back to router or network performance. As always, for help answering any of your questions, please call the Aficionado hotline at 1-800-223-5246.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Router speeds and ranges that a manufacturer lists are determined under ideal operating conditions. A router's signal can be affected by walls and their construction materials.
