ENGLISH

Explanation terms

A

A2DP

A2DP is one profile of Bluetooth definded for in-car devices or AV devices that use wireless communication instead of a cable.

B

Bit rate

This expresses the read amount per 1 second of video/audio data recorded in a disc.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-distance wireless communication technology used for connecting handheld devices several meters apart. This enables notebook computers, PDA s, mobile phones, etc. to connect without a cable for transmitting audio and data.

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.

Dynamic range

The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the minimum sound level that is discernible above the noise emitted by the device.

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.

M

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)

This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme, using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), MPEG-2, MPEG-4

These are the names for digital compression format standards used for the encoding of video and audio. Video standards include “MPEG-1 Video”, “MPEG- 2 Video”, “MPEG-4 Visual”, “MPEG-4 AVC”. Audio standards include “MPEG-1 Audio”, “MPEG-2 Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.

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 turns off suddenly.

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.
