Working with NAS Drives, PCs, and Mac Devices

The Polk Omni App is capable of recognizing any Media Server

or NAS drive that is broadcasting over your home network and

that’s conﬁgured for open access using the DLNA protocol. Using

the DTS Play-Fi Windows app, the Polk Omni Collection products

will play any ﬁle capable of being played by the Windows operating

system, including all music services. See “Downloading the

DTS Play-Fi PC App” above to learn more.

Because OSX devices don’t support DLNA, a third party software

(ex. Twonky, Plex or Servio) must be downloaded for them to be

visible to the network. Once downloaded, all locally stored content

on OSX-based devices will show up within the Polk Omni App under

“Media Server.”

Playing Music

Now that you’re connected, open the Polk Omni app to begin playing

music. To begin playing music, start by selecting the preferred music

source. The next step is to select the device(s) from which you want

to hear the music. When done, click “Next.” You can now select the

music you want to play.

Music choices to select from include:

Your personal music library- hear all the music

stored on your phone, tablet or computer through

your Polk Omni products and all throughout your home.

Internet Radio- Enjoy radio stations from around the

world, in virtually any genre, and all of it free. Internet

Radio has 37,000 stations with popular brands like

Disney, BBC, NPR, Fox News Radio, Wall Street

Journal Radio and more.

Online music services- Stream the most popular

online music services including Pandora and Songza.

and Deezer are available internationally in select countries.

Adding another speaker or component

Adding to your Polk Omni Collection is easy

The Omni Collection makes creating a whole house wireless

music system as simple as pushing a button or two. Add more

S2 speakers, a sound bar, an amp or adapter to an existing audio

system. The Omni App and your home network do the rest.

• From the Omni 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 Polk Preferred

Services @ 1-800-638-7276 for more information.

Creating a stereo pair

Creating a stereo pair with two Polk Omni Wireless speakers will

make your music sound even more dynamic. Setup is easy:

1. First, make sure the two speakers you want to stereo pair

are in the same room.

2. From your list of devices, go to the upper right-hand corner

and select the three dots.

3. From the drop-down menu, select “Stereo Setup.”

4. Press “Select a Stereo Pair.”

5. From your list of speakers, ﬁrst choose the LEFT speaker.

6. Next choose the RIGHT speaker.

7. Name the Stereo Pair.

8. The name of the Stereo Pair will appear on the “Create a

Stereo Pair” screen.

9. You’re ﬁnished. Enjoy!

Primary vs. Secondary Speakers

Once inside the Polk Omni 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 one 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, any secondary speakers will likewise be temporarily

disabled until a primary speakers is once again selected.
