Cautions on Handling

• Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are

no problems with the connection cables.

•

Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

• About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of

the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power

turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

• Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move

the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power

outlet.

Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before

moving the unit.

•

Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.

• Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are used in the AVP-A1HD circuit. When

powered on, a green light shows inside part of the AVP-A1HD, however this is not a fault.

In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVD- Video or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/DVI connections, both the connected DVD player and monitor must be equipped for a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identiﬁcation of the devices. The AVP-A1HD is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.

When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable

• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.

When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D

connector, connection is possible using an HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals will not be output.

• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.

This is a device that is connected to the broadband line to communicate with the Internet. Some are integrated with the router.

n Router

• When using the AVP-A1HD, we recommend you use a router equipped with the following functions:

· Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) server This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.

· Built-in 100BASE-TX switch When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching

hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

• When using with a wireless LAN, prepare a broadband router with built-in access point.

n Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)

Use for wired LAN.

• The AVP-A1HD does not come with an Ethernet cable.

• Some ﬂat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.

We recommend using a normal type cable.

• For the Ethernet cable, used a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. Do not use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, as it may exceed noise standard limits.

n Computer

A computer with the following speciﬁcations is required to use a media server:

• OS

Windows® XP Service Pack2, Windows Vista

• Software (Prepare one of the following.)

· .NET Framework 1.1 and Windows Media Connect (Windows XP)

· Windows Media Player ver.11

· DLNA-compatible server software

• Internet browser

For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a computer shop.

NOTE

• A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet. No additional contract is needed if you already have a broadband

connection to the Internet.

• The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact an ISP or a computer shop for details.

• Depending on the server, video ﬁles may be displayed, but they cannot be played on the AVP-A1HD.

n Others

• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network

settings are made manually, make the settings at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 34, 35).

• With the AVP-A1HD, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP

functions to make the network settings automatically.

• When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the AVP-A1HD

sets the IP address, etc., automatically.

When using the AVP-A1HD connected to a network with no DHCP

function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 34, 35).

• The AVP-A1HD is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible

router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with which the PPPoE is set.

• Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may

be necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the AVP-A1HD in the same way.

Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone

(DM-A505Z) successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 or more positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting.

Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w,

measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the

path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reﬂections may give inaccurate results.

When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting the auto setup procedure:

• Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible

• If this is not possible then set

•

Volume: “12 o’clock” position

•

Crossover frequency: “Maximum/Highest Frequency”

•

Getting Started Connections Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting

Start

Start Auto Setup. The Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup process automatically calculates the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ XT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area. Before starting, connect and position all your speakers. Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through each speaker.

Setup

If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error Messages” (vpage 27), take the advised action, then start the measurements again.

Conﬁguration

The speaker system to be measured can be selected ahead of time here.

[Selectable items]

z1: This can be set when “Subwoofer” is set to “1SP”. z2: This can be set when “Subwoofer” is set to “2SP L/R” or “2SP

STEP1 : Speaker Detection

The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the ﬁrst measurement position. The following attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”. Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.

NOTE

• Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT Automatic Speaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test tones will increase in volume.

• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.

• Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected by these sounds.

• Operating the

MASTER VOLUME knob on the main unit or the VOL

+/– buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements will

cancel the measurements.

• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after “STEP1”.

STEP2: Measurement

After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to the next position.

Measure at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 other surrounding positions). For best results it is recommend measuring 6

or more positions (with a maximum of 8 positions).

STEP3: Calculation

When “Calculate” is selected at “STEP2”, the measurements taken are analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system interacts with the room.

The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers connected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the time required for analysis.

STEP4: Check

Once the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result check screen appears. Select any item whose results you want to check to review the results.

Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for speakers with built-in ﬁlters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because ﬁlters add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.

STEP5: Store

The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVP-A1HD.

NOTE

Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.

About the RESTORER function

• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio

signals.

• This is displayed on the GUI menu and can be set when the input source is set to “NET/USB”, or when analog signals or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

Dialogue normalization function

Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital, which is used to keep the programs at the same average listening level so the user does not have to change the volume control between Dolby Digital programs. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read “Dial. Norm X dB” (X being a numeric value). The display is showing how the program level relates with THX calibration level. If you want to play the program at calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to adjust the volume. For example, if you see the following message: “Dial. Norm + 4 dB” in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. However, unlike a movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred volume setting for best enjoyment.

About Speaker Installation

Surround back speakers

The THX Surround EX format adds new “Surround Back” (SB) channels to the conventional 5.1 channel system. This makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener, something that was previously difﬁcult with sources designed for conventional multi surround speakers. In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.

Change of positioning and acoustic image

with 6.1-channel systems

Movement of acoustic image from SR to SB to SL

In addition to sources recorded in 6.1-channels, the surround effect of conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources can also be enhanced.

Speaker(s) for one or two channels are required in order to achieve a THX Surround EX system with the AVP-A1HD. Adding these, however, allows you to achieve stronger surround effects not only with sources recorded in THX Surround EX, but also with conventional 2- to 5.1 channel sources. The WIDE SCREEN mode is a mode for achieving surround sound with up to 7.1 channels using surround back speakers, for sources recorded in conventional Dolby Surround as well as Dolby Digital 5.1 channel and DTS Surround 5.1 channel sources. Furthermore, all the DENON original surround modes (vpage 47 “DSP Simulation Playback”) are compatible with 7.1 channel playback, so you can enjoy 7.1 channel sound with any signal source.

Number of surround back speakers

With THX Surround EX, the surround back channel consists of one channel of playback signals, but we recommend using two speakers. The modes that use the new ASA technology from THX (vpage 80) are most effective when using two monopole type surround back speakers placed close together. Using two speakers results in a smoother blend with the sound of the surround channels and better sound positioning of the surround back channel when listening from a position other than the center.

Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers

Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and right channels play an important role in achieving a smooth transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As shown on the diagram above, in a movie theater the surround signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners, creating an acoustic image as if the sound were ﬂoating in space. To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers for the surround left and right channels slightly more towards the front than with conventional surround systems. Doing so sometimes increases the surround effect when playing conventional 5.1 channel sources in the THX Surround EX mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode.

Below we introduce examples of speaker layouts. Refer to these to arrange your speakers according to their type and how you want to use them.

suggest that during setup, choose Dolby Digital/DTS with THX and Surround Speakers A (the bipolar or dipolar speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position). Choose Dolby Digital/DTS without THX and Surround Speakers B (the direct radiating speakers mounted at the rear corners of the listening room). Then, by simply activating the THX function (used during movie playback, the Surround A speakers are automatically activated. For multi-channel music listening (Dolby Digital or DTS music programs), turn off the THX enhancements by touching the THX button on the remote control, and the Surround B speakers will be automatically activated. Example: Movie sources (Dolby, DTS Surround, etc.) “THX” or “THX Cinema” mode … Speakers A Music sources (DVD video, DTS CD, etc.) “Dolby/DTS Surround” … Speakers B The speakers can be switched at the touch of a button by turning HOME THX CINEMA on when playing movies and off when playing multi-channel music.

The AVP-A1HD is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Dolby Surround

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and “C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low frequencies. Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic sound ﬁeld with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance, movement and positioning) is achieved. A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing movie sources in AV rooms as well.

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers greater ﬂexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions of the playback equipment.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a high deﬁnition audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound of the studio master. This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly prioritizing sound quality.



Dolby Pro Logic g

Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to achieve an excellent surround effect. The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all stereo sources.

Dolby Pro Logic gx

Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic g matrix decoding technology.

Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1-channels. There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema” suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing games.

Dolby Headphone

This is a three-dimensional sound technology developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology Ltd. of Australia for achieving surround sound using regular headphones. Previously, when using headphones all the sounds resonated inside the head and it was uncomfortable to listen with headphones for long periods of time. Dolby Headphone simulates speaker playback in a room and places the sound at the front or the sides, outside the head, to achieve a powerful sound like the sound of movie or home theaters. This technology is mainly for multichannel audio/video equipment with Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding functions and works with a high performance digital signal processing (DSP) chip. Dolby Headphone is effective not only for multichannel sources but also for stereo programs. On the AVP-A1HD, it is possible to output signals encoded in the Dolby Headphone mode from the recording output terminal and record them on a separate recorder.

Home THX Cinema Surround

THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned ﬁlm production company, Lucasﬁlm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the ﬁlm soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the AVPA1HD, when the Home THX Cinema mode is on, THX post-processing is automatically added after the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS decoder:

Re-EQ™ (Re-Equalization)

The tonal balance of a ﬁlm soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because ﬁlm soundtracks are designed to be played back in large movie theaters using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the correct tonal balance for listening to a movie soundtrack in a normal home environment.

Timbre Matching™

The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theater, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theater, only two speakers located to the side of your head are used. The Timbre Matching feature ﬁlters the information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.

Adaptive Decorrelation™

In a movie theater, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, while in a home theater there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel’s time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This expands the listening position and creates—with only two speakers—the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theater.

THX Ultra2™

Before any home theater component can be THX Ultra2 certiﬁed, it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous

Information

series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra2 logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theater products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX Ultra2 requirements cover every aspect of the product including power ampliﬁer performance, pre-ampliﬁer performance and operation, as well as hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain. In addition to improvements to the power ampliﬁer with respect to previous THX Ultra standards, three surround modes have been added: the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode, THX Music Mode and THX Games Mode.

THX Ultra2 Cinema

THX Ultra2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this mode, new THX processing blends the side surround speakers and back surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sounds. DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected in Ultra2 Cinema mode if the appropriate ﬂag has been encoded. Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital ﬂag that allows automatic switching. If you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise THX Ultra2 Cinema mode will apply processing to provide optimum replay.

THX Music Mode

For the replay of 5.1 multi-channel music the THX Music Mode should be selected. In this mode new THX processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS and Dolby Digital to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.

THX Games Mode

For the replay of stereo and multi-channel game audio the THX Games Mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0 encoded game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game audio surround information, providing a full 360 degree playback environment. THX Games Mode is unique as it gives you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the surround ﬁeld.

ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)

ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed to 2 side and 2 back surround speakers to provide the optimal surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer) placing the two Surround Back speakers close together facing the front of the room as shown in the diagram will provide the largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to place the Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to go THX Audio Set-up screen and choose the setting that most closely corresponds to the speaker spacing, which will re-optimize the surround sound-ﬁeld. ASA is used in three new modes; THX Ultra2 Cinema, THX Music Mode and THX Games Mode.

Boundary Gain Compensation

If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic reasons) results in the most of the listeners being close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level can be sufﬁciently reinforced by the boundary that the overall sound quality becomes “boomy”. THX Ultra2 receivers and controllers contain the BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation) feature to provide an improved bass balance. BGC can be selected by choosing “THX Ultra2 Subwoofer–Yes” from the “Boundary Gain Compensation” section of the THX Audio setup menu.

THX™ Surround EX™

In 1999, a new surround system was launched simultaneously with the release of the movie “Star Wars Episode I”. “Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a new movie sound track that greatly enhances the sense of spatial expression and the positioning of the surround channel sound. The result is 360 degrees of movement and moving sound effects that seem to pass right over the listener’s head. This system was developed jointly by THX and Dolby Laboratories, fusing THX’s idea of improving spatial expression and achieving a uniform 360 degree sound positioning with Dolby Laboratories’ matrix encoding technology. Emphasis was placed on compatibility with the existing system Dolby Digital 5.1 channel, and the new “surround back (SB) channel” was added to achieve improvements over the conventional

5.1 channel system in terms of the positioning of the sound at the

rear, the acoustic image of sound moving from the two sides to the back as well as sound moving from the front to the center rear with the multi surround speaker systems used in movie theaters, thereby enabling various types of surround sound. The surround back channel signal is a matrix-encoded signal inserted into both the Dolby Digital SL (surround left) and SR (surround right) channels. Upon playback, the signals are decoded by a high precision digital matrix decoder within the Dolby Digital decoder into the SL, SR and SB channels and output as 6.1 channels of signals. With the AVP-A1HD, the signals further undergo Home THX Cinema processing to achieve a THX Surround EX system. Even without the proper environment for playing the SB channel, Dolby Digital Surround EX signals are 100% compatible with existing 5.1 channel playback systems, so they can be played as such. In this case, the SB channel signal is produced as a monaural signal from both the SL and SR channels, so none of the signal components are missing. The effects speciﬁc to THX Surround EX (the sense of spatial expression and the positioning of the sound), however, are the same as with conventional 5.1 channel surround systems.

IEEE 802.11g

This is another wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States, and is compatible with IEEE 802.11b. It also uses the 2.4 GHz band, but enables communications at a maximum speed of 54 Mbps.

The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for the wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.

Infrastructure Communications

“Infrastructure Communications” refers to networks using wireless LAN access points. This function can be used to connect to the Internet or a wired LAN via a wireless LAN access point. Wireless LAN access points include wireless broadband routers.

Ad-hoc Communications

Signal transfer through wireless interconnection of computers is referred to as “ad hoc communications”. With such ad hoc communications there is no connection to the Internet. Ad hoc communications are suited for establishing simple temporary networks.

About Wireless LAN

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi Certiﬁcation assures tested and proven interoperability by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group certifying interoperability among wireless LAN devices.

IEEE 802.11b

This is one wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States. It uses the

2.4 GHz band usable freely without a radio frequency license (ISM band), enabling communications at a maximum speed of 11 Mbps.

The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for the wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.

Network Names (SSID: Security Set Identiﬁer)

When forming wireless LAN networks, groups are formed to prevent interference, data theft, etc. This grouping is done by “SSID” or “Security Set Identiﬁers”. For further security, a WEP key is set and signal transfer is not possible unless the SSID and WEP key match.

WEP Key (Network Key)

This is key information used for encrypting data when conducting data transfer. On the AVP-A1HD, the same WEP key is used for data encryption and decryption, so the same WEP key must be set on both devices in order for communications to be established between them.



Information

Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Troubleshooting

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

This is a security standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance. In addition to the conventional SSID (network name) and WEP key (network key), it also uses a user identiﬁcation function and encrypting protocol for stronger security.

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)

This is a new version of the WPA established by the Wi-Fi Alliance, compatible with more secure AES encryption.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared Key)

This is a simple authentication system for mutual authentication when a preset character string matches on the wireless LAN access point and client.

Passphrase

This refers to the code key used for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication, a WPA authentication method.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

This is a network key used for WPA. The encryption algorithm is RC4, the same as for WEP, but the security level is increased by changing the network key used for encryption for each packet.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

Information

This is a next generation standard encryption method replacing the current DES and 3DES, and because of its high security it is expected to be applied widely to wireless LANs in the future. It uses the “Rijndael” algorithm developed by two Belgian cryptographers to divide the data into blocks of ﬁxed lengths and encrypt each block. It supports data lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits and key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits as well, offering extremely high encryption security.
