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.
