General maintenance

Caution
To avoid damage or malfunction: Do not expose the product to excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight. Do not drop the product or allow objects to
fall on your player. Do not allow the product to be submerged
in water. Do not expose headphone socket or battery compartment to water, as water entering the set may cause major damage. Active mobile phones in the vicinity may cause
inter ference.
Back up your les. Ensure that you retain the
original les you have downloaded to your
device. Philips is not responsible for any loss of data if the product becomes damaged or not readable / legible.
Manage (transfer, delete, etc.) your music les
only with the supplied music software to avoid problems. Do not use any cleaning agents containing
alcohol, ammonia, benzene, or abrasives as these may harm the product.
About operating and storage temperatures
Operate in a place where temperature is always between 0 and 35ºC (32 to 95ºF) Store in a place where temperature is always between -20 and 45ºC (-4 to 113ºF ). Battery life may be shortened in low temperature conditions.
Replacement parts/accessories:
Visit www.philips.com/support to order replacement parts/accessories.
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.

Full memory capacity may not be available as some memory is reserved for the player. Storage capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128 kbps MP3 encoding. ³ Transfer speed depends on operating system

16 Glossary

A
Album art
Album art is a feature that displays the artwork (cover picture) of a music album. This display enables the user to quickly identify
a music album. The artwork les for music
albums can be downloaded from the Internet.
APE
A lossless audio le compression format by
Monkey’s Audio that makes bit-for-bit copies
without sacricing quality.
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 unnecessar y information which is irretrievably lost.
D
Decibel (dB)
A unit of measure used to express relative difference in power or intensity of sound.
Digital Audio
Digital Audio is a sound signal that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound can be transmitted through multiple channels. Analog sound can only be transmitted through two channels.
F
FLAC [Free Lossless Audio Codec]
An audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without loss in quality.
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.
J
JPEG
A very common digital still picture format. A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
Files are recognized by their le extension
‘.jpg’ or ‘.jpeg.’
K
Kbps
Kilobits per second. A digital-data-rate measurement system which is often used with highly compressed formats such as AAC, DAB, MP3 etc. The higher the amount, the better the quality generally is.
L
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Probably the most common way to show visual information on non-computer electronic equipment.
M
MHz (Mega Hertz)
One million cycles per second.

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.
P
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
Pioneering form of digital recording.
S
Shufe
A feature that plays audio les (tracks) in
random order.
Stereo
Literally means solid. Usually taken to refer to two channel stereo, though developments in digital audio facilitate multichannel stereo.
T
Thumbnail
A thumbnail is reduced-size versions of a picture that is used to make it easier to recognize an them. Thumbnails serve the same role for images as a normal tex t index does for words.
to XP, which made it the de facto standard
for sound on PCs. WAV sound les end with
a ‘.wav’ extension and works with nearly all Windows applications that support sound.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
An audio format owned by Microsoft, is a part of Microsoft Windows Media technology. Includes Microsoft Digital Rights Management tools, Windows Media Video encoding technology, and Windows Media Audio encoding technology.
WMV [Windows Media Video]
Refers to a video compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMV content can be encoded by using Windows Media® Encoder 9 series. Files are recognised
by their le extension ‘.wmv’.
V
Volume
Volume is the most common word used to specify the control of relative loudness of sounds. It also pertains to the function on many electronic devices that is used to control the loudness.
W
WAV
A format for sound les developed jointly by
Microsoft and IBM. Built into Windows 95
