Step One: The Play-Fi App
Download the Play-Fi app to your iOS or Android phone/tablet from either the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, the Amazon store. If you are using a PC, download the Play-Fi app from the Play-Fi website.
Step Two: Your Wireless Network
The basis of a strong Play-Fi experience is a high quality wireless network
We recommend against using the modem/router combo provided by your ISP
Make sure your primary Play-Fi source (phone/tablet/PC) is connected to the network that you want the wireless system to join
Step Three: Your Wireless Audio Device
The process for connecting your wireless audio device to your network varies by device. Please refer to your product’s manual for specific setup documentation.
Step 4 (optional): Add a Sub
If you are planning on using a sub, connect it to your wireless audio device using an RCA subwoofer cable. Please note, the Motion Vision X also allows wireless connection of a compatible subwoofer.
Turn on the subwoofer output.
Bravado

Connect the included microphone to your PC or laptop using the provided USB cable
Open ARC and select the wireless audio device you want to run ARC on. The system will walk you through the steps.
