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.

6 EN

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.

Your product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components, which can be recycled and reused.

EN 37

12 Glossary

A

AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)

An audio compression scheme defined 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 efficient transmission of energy. However certain applications use different waveforms, such as triangular or square waves.

Album art

Album art is a feature of the NP2500 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.

Amplifier

A device, either a single stage or a large scale circuit with multiple stages for creating gain, i.e. it makes small signals larger.

Antenna

A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up a received radio frequency signal or radiates a transmitted RF signal.

Audio output

High-level (speaker) or line-level (RCA) signals sent from one system component to another; or the high-level signal from an amplifier to the system speakers.

AUX

Auxiliary input that allows you to connect portable audio devices.

B

Bass

The lowest three octaves of the audio band.

Low bass is the bottom octave (20-40Hz), midbass is the middle octave (40-80Hz), and upper bass is the 80-160Hz octave.

Bit / bits

A bit is a binary digit, taking a value of either 0 or 1. For example, the number 10010111 is 8 bits long.

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

CBR (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.

CDDB

A 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 played, and then downloads the title, artist, and track list.

Coaxial

A single copper conductor, surrounded with a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding copper shield and finally, an insulating jacket.

An unbalanced transmission line with constant

38 EN

impedance. In audio, this type is commonly used for low level, line signals terminated in RCA connectors.

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

DC (direct current)

Direct current or continuous current is the constant flow of electric charge. This is typically in a conductor such as a wire. In direct current, the electric charges flow 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.

DHCP

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol. It is a protocol for assigning dynamic

IP addresses to devices on a network.

Digital

A method to encode information using a binary code of 0s and 1s. Many wireless phones and networks use digital technology.

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.

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.

E

Encryption key

An 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.

F

Frequency

The property or condition of occurring at frequent intervals. In sound, this simply refers to the regular occurrence of compression and rarification of air that we experience as sound.

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.

H

Hz (Hertz)

Cycles per second, named after Heinrich Hertz.

EN 39

I

Impedance

The resistance to the flow of an electric current in a circuit. This is effectively the electrical load that a loudspeaker presents to the amplifier which drives it and is measured in ohms.

Input sensitivity

SPL (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).

Interface

A 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 address

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique computer address that enables electronic devices to communicate with and identify each other.

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.

Kilo Hertz (kHz)

1000Hz or 1000 cycles per second.

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.

40 EN

M

M4A

The audio file format used by Apple in their iTunes Music Store often appears on your system with the ‘.m4a’ filename extension. M4A can produce better audio quality than MP3 using less physical space for the files.

MHz (Mega Hertz)

One million cycles per second.

Mono (monaural)

The operation of an amplifier in one channel for both input and output. Can refer to an amplifier with only one channel of amplification or operating in bridged mode. For lowfrequency amplification applications, it provides better phase coherence and less distortion than stereo operation.

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.

Mute

A control found on receivers, and some mixers or signal processing units that silences (mutes) a signal path, or output.

O

Ohm

Measure of resistance to current (impedance).

The lower the impedance of a speaker, the harder it is to drive.

P

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

Pioneering form of digital recording.

Proxy server

A computer network service that allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services.

R

RF (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.

S

S/PDIF (SPDIF) (Sony/Philips Digital Interface)

A standard audio-file 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 first to analog. This prevents the quality of the digital signal degrading during transfer to analog.

Sensitivity

Volume that a speaker offers for a specific voltage input, expressed in decibels per watt

(dB/W).

Shuffle

A feature that plays audio files (tracks) in random order.

Signal to noise ratio

Represents the difference between the level of the audio signal, and any interference. The larger the figure, 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.

Stereo

Literally means solid. Usually taken to refer to two channel stereo, though developments in digital audio facilitate multichannel stereo.

Streaming

A 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 files quickly, so the client browser or plug-in can start displaying the data before the entire file has been transmitted.

SuperPlay

SuperPlay™ is a special feature of the NP2500, 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.

YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS

AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD,

INSTALL OR OTHERWISE USE THE SOFTWARE. IF YOU ACQUIRED THE SOFTWARE IN TANGIBLE MEDIA

E.G. CD WITHOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS LICENSE AND DO NOT ACCEPT THESE

TERMS,YOU MAY RECEIVE A FULL REFUND OF THE AMOUNT, IF ANY,THAT YOU PAID FOR THE

SOFTWARE IF YOU RETURN THE SOFTWARE UNUSED WITH PROOF OF PAYMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS

FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE.

1. Grant of License.

This Agreement grants you a non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sub licensable license to install and use, on the Device or a PC, as applicable, one (1) copy of the specified version of the Software in object code format as set out in the user documentation solely for your personal use.The Software is “in use” when it is loaded into the temporary or permanent memory (i.e. RAM, hard disk, etc.) of the PC or the

Device.

2. Ownership.

The Software is licensed and not sold to you.This Agreement grants you only the right to use the Software, but you do not acquire any rights, express or implied, in the Software other than those specified in this Agreement. Philips and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights incorporated therein.The Software is protected by copyright laws, international treaty provisions, and other intellectual property laws. Therefore, other than as expressly set forth herein, you may not copy the Software without prior written authorization of

Philips, except that you may make one (1) copy of the Software for your back-up purposes only.You may not copy any printed materials accompanying the Software, nor print more than one (1) copy of any user documentation provided in electronic form, except that you may make one (1) copy of such printed materials for your back-up purposes only.

3. License Restrictions.

Except as provided otherwise herein, you shall not rent, lease, sublicense, sell, assign, loan, or otherwise transfer the Software.You shall not, and you shall not permit any third party, to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly prohibits the foregoing restriction.You may not remove or destroy any product identification, copyright notices, or other proprietary markings or restrictions from the Software. All titles, trademarks, and copyright and restricted rights notices shall be reproduced on your back up copy of the Software. You may not modify or adapt the

Software, merge the Software into another program or create derivative works based upon the Software.

4.Termination of certain functionality.

The Software may contain components of certain licensed software including software licensed from Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) which implements Microsoft’s digital rights management technology for Windows Media. Content providers are using the digital rights management technology for Windows Media (“WM-DRM”) to protect the integrity of their content (“Secure

Content”) so that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Your

Device may also use WM-DRM software to transfer or play Secure Content (“WM-DRM Software”). If the

security of such WM-DRM Software is compromised, Microsoft may revoke (either on its own or upon the request of the owners of Secure Content (“Secure Content Owners”)) the WM-DRM Software’s right to acquire new licenses to copy, store, transfer, display and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the

WM-DRM Software’s ability to play unprotected content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your

PC and/or your Device whenever you download a license for Secure Content. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your Device on behalf of Secure Content Owners, which may disable your Device’s ability to copy, store, display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content. Secure Content

Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed with this Software

(“WM-DRM Upgrades”) before accessing their content. When you attempt to play Secure Content,WM-DRM

Software built by Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software built by Philips may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access Secure Content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade. WM-DRM features that access the Internet, such as acquiring new licenses and/or performing a required WM-DRM Upgrade, can be switched off. When these features are switched off, you will still be able to play Secure Content if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your Device. However, you will not be able to use certain of the WM-DRM Software features that require Internet access such as the ability to download content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade. All title and intellectual property rights in and to the Secure Content is the property of the respective Secure Content owners and may be protected by applicable copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties. This Agreement grants you no rights to use such Secure Content.

To summarize, if the Software contains Microsoft WM-DRM components

– Secure Content you desire to download, copy, store, display, transfer, and/or play is protected by the Microsoft WM-DRM components of the Software. Microsoft, Secure Content Owners, or

Secure Content distributors may deny you access, or restrict your access, to Secure Content even after you have paid for, and/or obtained, it. Neither your consent nor the consent or approval of Philips is necessary for any of them to deny, withhold or otherwise restrict your access to Secure Content. Philips does not guaranty that you will be able to download, copy, store, display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content.
