Box 671539 Marietta, GA 30006-0026 1-800-PHILIPS (744-5477)Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information:This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.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:EN

The maximum distance of Wi-Fi transmission is 250m measured in open spaces. However, in a home environment, where solid obstacles such as walls and doors are present, the effective transmission distance is reduced to 50-100m. Reposition the devices if you experience transmission problems.I have not received any registration email from ConsumerCare@Philips.com.Check that the email address that is entered in the user registration section is valid and spelled correctly.Check that the PC has an active Internet connection.The Internet server may be busy, try again later.Check if the email was redirected to the spam folder.How do I avoid Wi-Fi interferences from other devices that operate in the same (2.4GHz) frequency spectrum, such as Dect phones or bluetooth devices?Move the NP2900 at least 3m away from such devices.Use a WEP/WPA encryption key when you create the wireless connection your PC / home network.Change the operating channel on the interfering devices.Turn the devices in different directions to minimize interference.••••••••••EN
39AUXAuxiliary input that allows you to connect portable audio devices.BBassThe lowest three octaves of the audio band. Low bass is the bottom octave (20-40Hz), mid-bass is the middle octave (40-80Hz), and upper bass is the 80-160Hz octave. Bit / bitsA bit is a binary digit, taking a value of either 0 or 1. For example, the number 10010111 is 8 bits long.Bit rateBit 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). CCBR (constant bit rate)With CBR the encoder spends the same amount of bits on each frame, regardless of how much it may really need. Disadvantage of CBR: Bits are wasted in case of absolute blackness of a picture or complete silence in an audio frame. And pictures or audio frames with a lot of elements may need those bits. CD (Compact Disc)Format developed by Phillips, Sony, and Pioneer for conveying music and data. CDs record information by deforming the inner metal foil on the disc with tiny micro pits burned in by a laser.CDDBA centralized database of CDs, CD tracks, and artists on the Web, now known as Gracenote. The audio player or burner program can log on to CDDB. It uploads the ID of the CD being 13 GlossaryAAAC (Advanced Audio Coding)An audio compression scheme dened as part of the MPEG-2 standard (also known as MPEG-2 AAC or MPEG-2 NBC, or Not Backwards Compatible). It offers better sound and a compression ratio that is superior by roughly 30 percent compared to the MPEG-1 MP3 format.AC (alternating current)An alternating current is an electrical current whose magnitude and direction vary cyclically, as opposed to DC (direct current), whose direction remains constant. The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is a sine wave, as this results in the most efcient transmission of energy. However certain applications use different waveforms, such as triangular or square waves.Album artAlbum art is a feature of the NP2900 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.AmplierA device, either a single stage or a large scale circuit with multiple stages for creating gain, i.e. it makes small signals larger.AntennaA device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up a received radio frequency signal or radiates a transmitted RF signal.Audio outputHigh-level (speaker) or line-level (RCA) signals sent from one system component to another; or the high-level signal from an amplier to the system speakers.Glossary EnglishEN
40can be transmitted through multiple channels. Analog sound can only be transmitted through two channels.Duplex (half/full)Full duplex is the ability to send and receive data simultaneously. Duplex is synonymous with full duplex. Example: when a modem operates in full-duplex mode, it can transmit data in two directions simultaneously. In half-duplex mode it can transmit data in two directions, but not simultaneously.EEncryption keyAn encryption key is an alphanumeric series that enables data to be encrypted and then decrypted so it can be safely shared among members of a network.FFrequencyThe property or condition of occurring at frequent intervals. In sound, this simply refers to the regular occurrence of compression and rarication of air that we experience as sound. Frequency ResponseIs 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.FullSoundFullSound™ is an innovative technology designed by Philips. FullSound™ faithfully restores sonic details to compressed music, played, and then downloads the title, artist, and track list.CoaxialA single copper conductor, surrounded with a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding copper shield and nally, an insulating jacket. An unbalanced transmission line with constant impedance. In audio, this type is commonly used for low level, line signals terminated in RCA connectors.CompressionIn 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.DDC (direct current)Direct current or continuous current is the constant ow of electric charge. This is typically in a conductor such as a wire. In direct current, the electric charges ow in the same direction, distinguishing it from AC (alternating current).Decibel (dB)A unit of measure used to express relative difference in power or intensity of sound.DHCPDHCP stands for Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol. It is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. DigitalA method to encode information using a binary code of 0s and 1s. Many wireless phones and networks use digital technology.Digital AudioDigital Audio is a sound signal that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound EN
41LLCD (Liquid Crystal Display)Probably the most common way to show visual information on non-computer electronic equipment.LivingSoundLivingSound™ is a sound processing algorithm provided by Philips that offers spatial enhancements and the listener perceives the sound as though the loudspeakers were located a greater than actual distance apart from one another.Lossless compressionA system for reducing the number of data bits (density) in a musical signal without corrupting the original.MM4AThe audio le format used by Apple in their iTunes Music Store often appears on your system with the ‘.m4a’ lename extension. M4A can produce better audio quality than MP3 using less physical space for the les.MHz (Mega Hertz)One million cycles per second.Mono (monaural)The operation of an amplier in one channel for both input and output. Can refer to an amplier with only one channel of amplication or operating in bridged mode. For low-frequency amplication applications, it provides better phase coherence and less distortion than stereo operation.MP3A le format with a sound data compression system. MP3 is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts 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. enhancing it to provide a full sound experience without any distortion. HHz (Hertz)Cycles per second, named after Heinrich Hertz.IImpedanceThe resistance to the ow of an electric current in a circuit. This is effectively the electrical load that a loudspeaker presents to the amplier which drives it and is measured in ohms.Input sensitivitySPL (sound pressure level) a speaker produces, given one watt of power, measured from a one-meter distance at a typical input frequency (usually 1kHz unless otherwise noted on the speaker). InterfaceA device or protocol which facilitates the linking of any two devices or systems; or when used as a verb (‘to interface’), the process of linking.IP addressAn IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique computer address that enables electronic devices to communicate with and identify each other.KKbpsKilobits 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.Kilo Hertz (kHz)1000Hz or 1000 cycles per second.Glossary EnglishEN
42ShufeA feature that plays audio les (tracks) in random order.Signal to noise ratioRepresents the difference between the level of the audio signal, and any interference. The larger the gure, the purer the sound.SPL (sound pressure level)An acoustic measurement of sound energy. 1 dB SPL is the smallest increment in sound level to which the average human is sensitive. Theoretically, 0 dB SPL is the threshold of human hearing while approximately 120 dB is the threshold of pain.StereoLiterally means solid. Usually taken to refer to two channel stereo, though developments in digital audio facilitate multichannel stereo.StreamingA technique for transferring data such that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream. Streaming technologies are often used on the Internet because many users do not have fast enough access to download large multimedia les quickly, so the client browser or plug-in can start displaying the data before the entire le has been transmitted.SuperPlaySuperPlay™ is a special feature of the NP2900, which enables the listener to play all the music under a top-level library category, such as artists or albums, without having to select playlist items. TThumbnailA 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 text index does for words.MuteA control found on receivers, and some mixers or signal processing units that silences (mutes) a signal path, or output.OOhmMeasure of resistance to current (impedance). The lower the impedance of a speaker, the harder it is to drive.PPCM (Pulse Code Modulation)Pioneering form of digital recording.RRF (radio frequency)An alternating current or voltage with a frequency (or carrier wave) above about 100kHz. It is called radio frequency because these frequencies have a capacity to be radiated as electromagnetic waves by radio (and television) stations.Rhapsody®Rhapsody® is an on-line music service that offers streaming on-demand access to its library of digital music. SS/PDIF (SPDIF) (Sony/Philips Digital Interface)A standard audio-le transfer-format that was developed jointly by Sony and Philips. S/PDIF allows the transfer of digital audio signals from one device to another, without the need to convert rst to analog. This prevents the quality of the digital signal degrading during transfer to analog.SensitivityVolume that a speaker offers for a specic voltage input, expressed in decibels per watt (dB/W).EN
43which 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. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)All 802.11b (Wi-Fi / wireless) networks use WEP as their basic security protocol. WEP secures data transmissions using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption; however, it does not offer complete security and is usually used in conjunction with other security measures such as EAP.Wi-FiWi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a wireless technology brand owned by the Wi-Fi Alliance intended to improve the interoperability of wireless local area network products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Common applications for Wi-Fi include Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and network connectivity for consumer electronics such as televisions, DVD players, and digital cameras.WirelessTelecommunications using electromagnetic waves rather than wires or cable to transmit information. Wireless communication can be used for free-ranging mobile systems such as cell phones and global positioning systems (GPS), which use satellite technology. Wireless systems can also be xed, such as LANs that provide wireless communications within a limited area (such as an ofce), or wireless peripherals such as mice and keyboards.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. WPA / WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access)A Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP. The technology is designed to work with existing UUPnP (Universal Plug and Play)Universal Plug and Play is a networking architecture developed by a consortium of companies to ensure easy connectivity between products from different vendors. UPnP devices should be able to connect to a network automatically, handling identication and other processes on the y. The standards developed by the UPnP Forum are media-, platform-, and device-independent.VVBR (variable bit rate)With VBR, the encoder takes as much bits as it needs. So black pictures get few bits and complex pictures get as much as they need. While this provides the best quality the nal size cannot be predicted at all.VolumeVolume 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.WW (wattage)A measurement of power. In speakers, wattage is a term that indicates power-handling characteristics in dealing with electrical voltage inputs from the amplier. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)Global protocol used in some wireless devices that allows the user to view and interact with data services. Generally used as a means to view Internet web pages using the limited transmission capacity and small display screens of portable wireless devices.WAVA format for sound les developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. Built into Windows 95 to XP,
