NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
Paradigm Premium Wireless Series Owner’s Manual
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.
NOTE: If your wireless connectivity is weak or not
available, connect your Paradigm product to your router
with the supplied ethernet cable.
•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 5G
network instead of the 2.4 Network.
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 802.11b 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.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• An Android device running Android 2.2 or later. • A Windows®PC running Windows®7, 8 or 8.1 (32 and 64 bit).
• An iOS device running iOS 6.0 or later.

CONNECTING PW AMP TO SPEAKERS
WARNING: Use Class 2 wiring only.
CAUTION: Do not connect speakers, which are
rated less than 4 Ohms to the Paradigm PW AMP.
CAUTION: While making connections with
bare wire, ensure that none of your bare wire
comes in contact with a an adjacent terminal.
The speakers to be connected to the Paradigm PW AMP
should be rated to handle at least 75 W for 8 Ohm speakers
and at least 150 W for 4 Ohm speakers.
Your PW AMP’s binding posts can be used with banana,
plug connectors, and bare wire.
IMPORTANT! Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper
soundstage imaging and bass performance. Connect one
speaker at a time to ensure proper connection of every
channel. The red (+) amplifier terminal must be connected to
the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies to the black (–)
terminals. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Repeat this
connection procedure for each speaker in your system.
IMPORTANT! If you hear a distinct lack of bass and a
dislocated stereo image then one or more of your speakers
may be connected out of phase (polarity is reversed). Re-
check to ensure that each speaker’s cable is connected with
correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–).
Bare Wire Connectors:
If you are using speaker wire without banana plugs, simply press in the spring
loaded binding post to expose the connection hole. Insert the stripped end of
the speaker wire into the hole, then release the binding post. The exposed
speaker wire should be securely gripped by the binding post.
Banana Plug Connectors:
If you are using banana plugs, remove the end caps from
the PW AMP’s binding posts to expose the banana plug
socket; insert the banana plug into the socket.
