Overview

Setup 5
The PR1 Receiver streams music over your
existing Wi-Fi network. One great feature of
the PR1 Receiver is that it’s really simple to set
up. There are two methods for connecting the
Receiver to your home network. You can perform
the Standard Wi-Fi Setup or WPS. Standard Wi-
Fi Setup lets you set up multiple Play-Fi Devices
(Speakers and/or Receivers) at once. WPS is
very easy to perform, but only lets you set up one
PR1 Receiver at a time.
We’ll learn about the Standard Wi-Fi Setup rst,
since not every router is capable of WPS.
Setup

Setup 6
Before starting, make sure the system
requirements are met and that you have all the
components from the What’s Included section.
1. For best results place your PR1 Receiver(s)
near your router. You may move Receiver(s) after
setup is complete.
2. Plug-in your PR1 Receiver(s). Your Receiver
will automatically power on. The Wi-Fi light will
blink quickly while the Receiver is starting up.
3. Wait until the white Wi-Fi light goes from a fast
blink to a slow pulse. When it’s pulsing it is in
Wi-Fi Setup Mode and broadcasting to the world,
“I’m looking for Android devices!”
4. Connect your Android phone or tablet to the
same Wi-Fi network that you want to connect
your PR1 Receiver(s). Download and install the
free Play-Fi App from the Google Play Store or
the Amazon App Store.

5. Launch the Play-Fi App and it will detect any
PR1 Receivers in Standard Wi-Fi Setup Mode.
6. The Play-Fi App will ask you to enter your
Wi-Fi network’s password (if required). After
connecting, your PR1 Receiver may perform a
software update. This may take several minutes.
Do not unplug your Receiver, turn off your
Android device, or leave the network during the
update.

Manually Enabling the Receiver’s Wi-Fi Setup Mode
If this is not your rst time setting up, if you’re in a new
location, or if you want to change from one network
to another, hold down the Wi-Fi button on the PR1
Receiver for 8 seconds. You will hear one chime and
then a second chime. When you hear the second
chime release the button. The Wi-Fi light will begin
pulsing indicating that Wi-Fi Setup Mode is active.
Alternative Network
If you want to set up a PR1 Receiver to connect to a
network other than the one you’re currently connected
to, press the Alternative Network button on the Enter
Network Password screen.

7. The Play-Fi App will ask you to name your
Receiver. There are several names to choose
from or create your own by choosing Custom

8. If you set up your Receiver near your router
now is the time to power it off, move it to where
you want to listen, and power it back on.
9. When you are done simply select the music
you want to play in the Play-Fi application on
your Android device.
