If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and its surroundings, condensation may form on parts inside
the unit, causing it to fail 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 that
occurs, move the mobile phone away from the unit when it is in use.

depending on the communication lines and server traffic, the music
or audio signals being streamed may be interrupted. Inversely, lower
bit rates mean a lower sound quality but less tendency for the sound
to be interrupted.

InformationInformation

A

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

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.

AirPlay

AirPlay sends (plays) contents recorded in iTunes
or on an iPhone/iPod touch to a compatible device
via the network.

B

Bit rate

This expresses the read amount per 1 second of
video/audio data recorded in a disc. A larger number
means higher sound quality, but also means a larger
file size.

D

DLNA

DLNA and DLNA CERTIFIED are trademarks and/
or service marks of Digital Living Network Alliance.
Some contents may not be compatible with other
DLNA CERTIFIED® products.

F

Finalize

This is processing that enables playing back of disc
of CD, which was recorded using a recorder, by
other players.

FLAC

FLAC stands for Free lossless Audio Codec, and is a
lossless free audio file format. Lossless means that
the audio is compressed without any loss in quality.
The FLAC license is as shown below.

standards include “MPEG-1 Audio”, “MPEG-2
Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.

N

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.

P

Protection circuit

This is a function to prevent damage to components
within the power supply when an abnormality
such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or
temperature for any reason.
In this unit, the power indicator blinks and the unit
enters standby mode when an abnormality occurs.

S

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.

Speaker impedance

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

T

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.
