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."
Where to locate your P1 Adapter
Your Omni P1 Adapter will be wired into your existing audio system.
The proximity of your network router to your audio system is what
matters, and that will be subject to the performance capabilities
of your router.

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.
• 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.
