About operating and storage temperatures
•
•
Operate in a place where temperature is always between 0 and 35ºC (32 to 95ºF)

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 traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

19 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 efficient storage or transmission. A temporary reduction in file size is called ‘non-lossy’ compression, and no information is lost. A permanent reduction in file size (such as with
MP3 files) 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
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.
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 file 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.
40 EN
MSC [Mass Storage Class]
The USB mass storage device class (or
USB MSC or UMS) is a set of computing communications protocols that provide an interface to storage devices. Devices that support this standard are referred to as MSC
(Mass Storage Class) devices.
MTP [Media Transfer Protocol]
Media Transfer Protocol supports the transfer of music and video files to portable audio and video players.
N
Napster
Napster is an online music service offering unlimited music you can easily transfer to your
MUSE player.
O
Ogg Vorbis
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 files for music albums can be downloaded from the Internet.
R
RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS tuners can automatically tune in stations according to the types of music (or talk) they broadcast. RDS also enables a receiver to display text messages and even graphics
(usually call letters and format information) that many FM stations include on a sub-carrier signal within their normal broadcast signal.
Some RDS equipped tuners can even override with traffic alerts or emergency broadcasts, during playback of other media - CD MD, or cassette. There are other useful features too, many of which are offered by the growing number of RDS stations.
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 file that can then be converted into an MP3 file.
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 find items within large libraries. Longer press of the button results in faster scroll speed.
Surround Sound for movies
Surround Sound encompasses a range of techniques for enriching the sound reproduction quality of an audio source. The three-dimensional (3D) sphere of human hearing can be virtually achieved through
Surround Sound.
