Setting Up Wi-Fi and the DTS Play-Fi App

Download DTS Play-Fi App Search
“Play-Fi” in the app store and download the free DTS Play-Fi app to your phone or tablet to unlock the full functionality of your SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase.

Plug in your SoundBase
Once powered on, the Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase will go through its startup process. After about 30 seconds, the green Wi-Fi light (on the back of the product) will flash with a slow pulse, indicating the device is ready to connect to your network. You can now proceed to the next step.

Setting up with an Apple Device
iOS users Go to “Settings” -> “Wi-Fi” and select Play-Fi Device listed under “SET UP NEW AIRPLAY SPEAKER” on the lower portion of the screen
(you may need to wait up to 1 minute for the speaker to appear). After selecting your Play-Fi device, confirm the desired network, and enter the desired name for your SoundBase (e.g. SoundBase Lounge). You will get a confirmation screen when completed. Note that the AirPlay setup requires iOS 11.4 or later. If you are using an older version of iOS go to step 4. Android users skip stepping 3B.

Setting up with an Android Device
Open the Play-Fi App and follow the prompts in the app to finish setting up your Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase on your home Wi-Fi network.

You’re ready to stream!
Now that your SVS Prime Wireless Pro Soundbase is set up over Wi-Fi, you can access music from your devices and your favorite streaming services. You can also enjoy Hi-Res Critical Listening Mode, create a multi-room audio system, and more.

Note
The Play-Fi app might require an update to the SoundBase software upon first connection to enable the latest features. The app will provide a notification if this occurs – this process can take 3-5 minutes. If your SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase is not discovered by the Wi-Fi network, try moving it closer to your router or to a stronger signal area.

Streaming with Apple AirPlay
To stream audio from an iOS device to your SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase, it must first be set up on your Wi-Fi network (see section 3). Once the SoundBase is on your network, any app or operating system that has AirPlay audio output controls will automatically discover the SoundBase and add it to the list of available AirPlay devices. It will have the same name it has in the Play-Fi app.

Open the app you want to stream from.
Start the audio you want to play.
From the Control Center on your iOS device, or within the active app, choose your SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase as the output device.

Streaming with Chromecast built-in
To cast audio from Chromecast-enabled apps to your SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase, it must first be set up on your Wi-Fi networks (see section 3).

Open any Chromecast-enabled app you want to stream from.
Start the audio you want to play.
In the top right corner, tap the Cast button.
Choose your SoundBase. The Cast button will change colors, letting you know you’re connected.
Once you are connected, you can stream audio directly to your SoundBase via Chromecast built-in.

Setting Up and Streaming with Bluetooth

To enter pairing mode, tap the Bluetooth Setup button on the rear panel or press and hold the Bluetooth button on the remote for 3 seconds. Pairing Mode is indicated by the flashing blue light on the rear panel 12 .
Select SVS Pro SoundBase in the Bluetooth Settings menu on your smartphone, tablet, or Computer.
When Bluetooth is connected, the blue light on the rear of the product will stop flashing and remain solid.
Select Bluetooth as your source on the SoundBase, select the music you want to stream and then press play!

Create Custom Preset
Six presets are available for instant access to your favorite streaming music channels, playlists, and other content.

From the Play-Fi app, start the station, playlist, or another streaming source you want to save as a preset.
Press and hold the desired preset button (1 – 6) on the front panel or the remote control until the OLED display flashes “Saving Preset #” and the preset button flashes. The Preset is confirmed when the display shows “Preset # Saved” .
Access your favorite music by selecting a saved preset at any time on the front panel or from the remote control. To reset a preset, repeat steps 1 and 2.
NOTE: Some premium subscription services may require that you sign in and enter a code the first time you set a preset with that service – The Play-Fi app will walk you through this process.

Current services are available as presets within the Play-fi app. More options coming soon, check svsound.com/products/prime-wireless-pro-sound base for updates. Android, Google Play, and Chromecast built-in are trademarks of Google LLC.
