Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume:
Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there. To establish a safe volume level: Set your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. Listen for reasonable periods of time: Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing loss. Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks. Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time. Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts. Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it
may create a trafc hazard and is illegal in many
areas.

Frequency Response
Is the range of frequencies that a speaker reproduces, lowest frequency to the highest. While the optimal normal is 20-20,000 Hz (Hertz), the range of human hearing for individuals is often much more restricted. A good full-range speaker system however, reproduces as much of this range as possible to cover all variations. Individual drivers are limited to reproduce only that part of the spectrum for which they were made, so their response is limited, but still a necessary point to consider when designing a complete sound system.
FullSound
FullSound™ is an innovative technology designed by Philips. FullSound™ faithfully restores sonic details to compressed music, enhancing it to provide a full sound experience without any distortion.
L
LCD(LiquidCrystalDisplay)
Probably the most common way to show visual information on non-computer electronic equipment.
Lossless compression
A system for reducing the number of data bits (density) in a musical signal without corrupting the original.
M
MP3
A le format with a sound data compression
system. MP3 is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Exper ts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. With the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data than a regular CD.
15 Glossary
B
Bit rate
Bit rate is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. The bit rate is usually measured in some multiple of bits per second (kilobits per second: kbps). The term bit rate is a synonym for data transfer rate (or simply data rate).
C
Compression
In audio terms, this is a process of temporarily or permanently reducing audio data for more
efcient storage or transmission. A temporary reduction in le size is called ‘non-lossy’
compression, and no information is lost. A
permanent reduction in le size (such as with MP3 les) is called ‘lossy’ compression, and
involves discarding unnecessary information which is irretrievably lost.
D
Decibel(dB)
A unit of measure used to express relative difference in power or intensity of sound.
F
FM(FrequencyModulation)
In radio broadcasting: a method of modulation in which the frequency of the carrier voltage is varied with the frequency of the modulation voltage.

MSC [Mass Storage Class]

Media Transfer Protocol suppor ts the transfer
of music and video les to portable audio and
video players.
R
Rhapsody®
Rhapsody® is an on-line music service that offers streaming on-demand access to its library of digital music.
Rip(ripping)
Using a software program that “grabs” digital
audio from a compact disc and transfers it to a computer hard drive. The integrity of the data is preserved, because the signal does not pass through the computer sound card, and need not be converted to an analog format. The
digital-to-digital transfer creates a WAV le that can then be converted into an MP3 le.
S
SuperScroll
SuperScroll™ is a navigation feature of the double-action search keys of the product. SuperScroll™ allows easy speed control when
scrolling through large libraries to swiftly nd
items within large libraries. Longer press of the button results in faster scroll speed.
