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.
