Quick Installation

Installing the power cord:

Plug the power cord into the AC inlet; see ①in the above diagram. The AC inlet socket is a

standard IEC type. You will need to obtain the correct type for your region.

Take the AC umbilical cord and plug it into AC Female Outlet ②of the WTP-1 and AC

Male Inlet of WDS-1 ③. Refer to the above diagram.

* If you are intending to use the AC umbilical cord to stack the two units, attach and

power up the two units first side by side before stacking the units together. This is to

make sure that both the WTP-1 and WDS-1 are powered up.

Stacking:

The WTP-1 and WDS-1 are capable of stacking together when the optional foot

stands are purchased.

Powering Up

To power up on the WTP-1 press the power button⑪until pressure is felt and

the VFD screen should turn on.

To power up on the WDS-1 press the power button⑫until pressure is felt and

the VFD screen should turn on.

If you buy both WTP-1 and WDS-1 and decide to stack them. The power button

on the WTP-1 ⑪becomes a simultaneous power button and will be able to

power up both WTP-1 and WDS-1 at the same time. Refer to Installing the

Power Cord on how to do this.

Connecting the WTP-1 with the WDS-1:

Here at Woo Audio we believe flexibility is extremely important, which is why

we offer three ways to pair the WTP-1 and WDS-1 together; Optical ⑤,

AES/EBU ⑥, Coaxial ⑦refer to the above diagram.*

*These three connections allow for 16-Bit/44.1kHz CD quality of music for your

listening pleasure.

Configuring media player

TIPS: It is strongly recommended to use a media player that supports ASIO output

mode for the highest playback quality.

Changing Output mode

Example is given for JRiver Media Center.

IMPORTANT: In JRiver Media Center, disable “Use large hardware buffers” option

by unchecking the box. Buffering error will occur if this option is enable.

Connecting the Amp to the WDS-1:

The WDS-1 offers two sources of output, XLR ⑨and RCA ⑩refer to the above

diagram to connect the amp of your choice. We highly recommend one of our

Woo Audio Amplifiers.

Tools -> Options -> Audio Output -> Output mode -> select ASIO

Tools -> Options -> Audio Output -> Output mode settings -> uncheck the box
