How to connect a plug  
o Battery usage CAUTION To prevent  
battery leakage which may result in bodily  
injury, property damage, or damage to the  
unit:  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with  
the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown  
= live (L).  
As these colours may not correspond with the  
colour markings identifying the terminals in your  
plug, proceed as follows:  
Install all batteries correctly, + and - as  
marked on the unit.  
Do not mix batteries (old and new or  
carbon and alkaline, etc.).  
Remove batteries when the unit is not  
used for a long time.  
Connect the blue wire to the terminal  
marked N or coloured black.  
Connect the brown wire to the terminal  
marked L or coloured red.  
Do not connect either wire to the earth  
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or  
coloured green (or green and yellow).  
Before replacing the plug cover, make  
certain that the cord grip is clamped over  
the sheath of the lead - not simply over  
the two wires.  
p Apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.  
q Do not place any sources of danger on  
the apparatus (e.g. liquid filled objects,  
lighted candles).  
r This product may contain lead and  
mercury. Disposal of these materials  
may be regulated due to environmental  
considerations. For disposal or recycling  
information, please contact your local  
authorities or the Electronic Industries

c Refit the fuse cover.  
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket  
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate  
plug fitted in its place.

13 Glossary  
A
Bluetooth  
A short-range wireless protocol that is meant  
to allow mobile devices to share information  
and applications without the worry of cables or  
interface incompatibilities.The name refers to a  
Viking King who unified Denmark. Operates at  
2.4 GHz. For more information, see bluetooth.  
com.  
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)  
C
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.  
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.  
Amplifier  
CD (Compact Disc)  
A device, either a single stage or a large scale  
circuit with multiple stages for creating gain, i.e.  
it makes small signals larger.  
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.  
Antenna  
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up  
a received radio frequency signal or radiates a  
transmitted RF signal.  
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.  
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.  
Coaxial  
AUX  
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  
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly used  
for low level, line signals terminated in RCA  
connectors.  
Auxiliary input that allows you to connect  
portable audio devices.

Compression  
E
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.  
Eco (Eco Standby)  
Eco Standby is the most ‘economic’ mode of  
the Music Station and consumes less than 1W. It  
is ‘economic’ and environmentally friendly to use  
this mode during longer times of non-usage of  
the Music Station.  
EQ (Equalizer)  
A class of electronic filter circuits designed  
to augment or adjust electronic or acoustic  
systems. Equalizers can be fixed or adjustable,  
active or passive. Many equalizers divide the  
spectrum into 3 to 12 bands.This allows each  
section to be either increased or decreased in  
amplitude without changing the response of  
the rest.  
D
dB (Decibel)  
A unit of measure used to express relative  
difference in power or intensity of sound.  
D
F
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).  
Fidelity  
A term used to describe the accuracy of  
recording, reproduction, or general quality of  
audio processing.High Fidelity” (Hi-Fi) is the  
goal of every designer.  
Digital  
FM (Frequency Modulation)  
A method to encode information using a binary  
code of 0s and 1s. Many wireless phones and  
networks use digital technology.  
In radio broadcasting: a method of modulation  
in which the frequency of the carrier voltage  
is varied with the frequency of the modulation  
voltage.  
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.  
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.  
Duplex (half/full)  
Frequency Response  
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.  
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.  
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.  
H
Hi-Fi (High Fidelity)  
K
A method of sound reproduction that  
emphasizes the highest possible adherence to  
the exact character of the original sound.This  
is a principal that must be paramount in every  
stage of the recording, transportation, and  
recreation of the signal to be fully operational. It  
is usually the listener’s equipment wherein this  
objective is most seriously compromised.  
kHz (kilo Hertz)  
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.  
Hz (Hertz)  
Cycles per second, named after Heinrich Hertz.  
Lossless compression  
A system for reducing the number of data bits  
(density) in a musical signal without corrupting  
the original.  
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.  
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.  
Incredible Surround Sound (Incr.Surr.)  
An improved system that creates realistic, three-  
dimensional sound fields.These sound fields are  
usually achieved with multiple speakers that are  
arranged around the listener.  
MHz (Mega Hertz)  
One million cycles per second.  
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).  
Midrange  
The middle three octaves (more or less) of the  
audio band, where the ear is most sensitive,  
usually between 160Hz-3kHz.  
Interface  
Mono (monaural)  
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.  
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 low-  
frequency amplification applications, it provides  
better phase coherence and less distortion than  
stereo operation.

MP3  
as electromagnetic waves by radio (and  
television) stations.  
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.  
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.  
Mute  
A control found on receivers, and some mixers  
or signal processing units that silences (mutes) a  
signal path, or output.  
RMS (Root Mean Square)  
A formula that provides a reasonably accurate  
means to measure and compare continuous  
AC power.The use of this measure is preferred  
when matching system components, like  
amplifiers and receivers.  
O
Ohm  
Measure of resistance to current (impedance).  
The lower the impedance of a speaker, the  
harder it is to drive.  
S
P
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.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
Pioneering form of digital recording.  
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.  
Sampling rate  
The precision with which a digital file describes  
the analog sound it represents. Basically, a lower  
rate produces files that sound worse and take  
up less drive space than those with a higher  
rate. CDs have a sampling rate of 44.1kHz,  
and DAT machines have a sampling rate of  
48kHz. MiniDisc player/recorders with a built-in  
sampling rate converter can handle both rates.  
Sensitivity  
Volume that a speaker offers for a specific  
voltage input, expressed in decibels per watt  
(dB/W).  
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  
Shuffle  
A feature that plays audio files (tracks) in  
random order.

Signal to noise ratio  
products from different vendors. UPnP devices  
should be able to connect to a network  
automatically, handling identification and other  
processes on the fly.The standards developed  
by the UPnP Forum are media-, platform-, and  
device-independent.  
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.  
USB (universal serial bus)  
A hardware interface used to connect devices  
such as computer audio players, digital cameras,  
and more. USB is UPnP enabled (also called  
hot-swappable), meaning that a computer does  
not need to be turned off when new devices  
are plugged in and the devices do not need to  
be configured. USB supports data transfer rates  
of up to 60MB per second (in USB 2.0).  
Stereo  
Literally means solid. Usually taken to refer to  
two channel stereo, though developments in  
digital audio facilitate multichannel stereo.  
Streaming  
V
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.  
VBR (variable bit rate)  
WithVBR, 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 final  
size cannot be predicted at all.  
Volume  
Subwoofer  
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.  
The extra-low frequency drive-unit  
(loudspeaker) that can be used to augment  
both stereo and surround system.  
T

W
W (wattage)  
A measurement of power. In speakers, wattage  
is a term that indicates power-handling  
characteristics in dealing with electrical voltage  
inputs from the amplifier.  
High frequencies at the top end of the audio  
band i.e. above 3kHz.  
Tweeter  
The drive unit (loudspeaker) that reproduces  
high frequency sounds.  
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.

WAV  
The drive unit (loudspeaker) that reproduces  
the bass (low) frequencies.  
A format for sound files developed jointly by  
Microsoft and IBM. Built into Windows 95 to XP,  
which made it the de facto standard for sound  
on PCs.WAV sound files end with a ‘.wav’  
extension and works with nearly all Windows  
applications that support sound.  
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  
Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with  
WEP (i.e. as a software upgrade to existing  
hardware), but the technology includes two  
improvements over WEP.  
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-Fi  
Wi-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 andVoIP  
phone access, gaming, and network connectivity  
for consumer electronics such as televisions,  
DVD players, and digital cameras.  
Wireless  
Telecommunications 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 fixed, such as LANs that  
provide wireless communications within a  
limited area (such as an office), 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 MediaVideo encoding  
technology, and Windows Media Audio  
encoding technology.
