Explanation of terms

Sampling frequency

Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.

Linear PCM

This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. This is the
same system used for CD audio but uses 192 kHz, 96 kHz, and 48 kHz
sampling frequencies on Blu-ray Disc or DVD and provides higher
resolution than CD.

Speaker impedance

This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.

Source direct

Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as input
audio signals are output by bypassing the audio quality-control circuits
(BASS/TREBLE/BALANCE).

Pairing

Pairing (registration) is an operation that is required in order to connect a
Bluetooth device to this unit using Bluetooth. When paired, the devices
authenticate each other and can connect without mistaken connections
occurring.
When using Bluetooth connection for the first time, you need to pair this
unit and the Bluetooth device to be connected.

Protection circuit

This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
