123FFLACFLAC stands for Free lossless Audio Codec, and is alossless free audio file format. Lossless means thatthe audio is compressed without any loss in quality.The FLAC license is as shown below.Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005,2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Josh CoalsonRedistribution and use in source and binary forms,with or without modification, are permitted providedthat the following conditions are met:• Redistributions of source code must retain theabove copyright notice, this list of conditions andthe following disclaimer.• Redistributions in binary form must reproduce theabove copyright notice, this list of conditions andthe following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.• Neither the name of the Xiph.org Foundation northe names of its contributors may be used toendorse or promote products derived from thissoftware without specific prior written permission.THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THECOPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS “ASIS” AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES,INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THEIMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITYAND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSEARE DISCLAIMED.

Video signals andaudio signals can be connected using a single cable.IiTunesiTunes is the name of the multimedia playerprovided by Apple Inc. It enables managementand playback of multimedia contents includingmusic and movies. iTunes supports many main fileformats including AAC, WAV, and MP3.LLFEThis is an abbreviation of Low Frequency Effect,which is an output channel that emphasizeslow frequency effect sound. Surround audio isintensified by outputting 20 Hz to 120 Hz deep bassto the system subwoofer(s).MMAIN ZONEThe room where this unit is placed is called theMAIN ZONE .MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)This is an internationally standardized audio datacompression scheme, using the “MPEG-1” videocompression standard. It compresses the datavolume to about one eleventh its original size whilemaintaining sound quality equivalent to a music CD.MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group),MPEG-2, MPEG-4These are the names for digital compression formatstandards used for the encoding of video and audio.Video standards include “MPEG-1 Video”, “MPEG-2 Video”, “MPEG-4 Visual”, “MPEG-4 AVC”. Audiostandards include “MPEG-1 Audio”, “MPEG-2Audio”, “MPEG-4 AAC”.PProgressive (sequential scanning)This is a scanning system of the video signal thatdisplays 1 frame of video as one image. Comparedto the interlace system, this system providesimages with less flickering and jagged edges.Protection CircuitThis is a function to prevent damage to deviceswithin the power supply when an abnormalitysuch as an overload, excess voltage occurs or overtemperature for any reason.In this unit, the power indicator blinks and the unitenters standby mode when an abnormality occurs.SSampling frequencySampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave(analog signal) at regular intervals and expressingthe height of the wave at each reading in digitizedformat (producing a digital signal).The number of readings taken in one second iscalled the “sampling frequency”. The larger thevalue, the closer the reproduced sound is to theoriginal.Speaker impedanceThis is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω(ohms). Greater power can be obtained when thisvalue is smaller.sYCC601 colorLike “x.v.Color”, each of these color spaces definesa palette of available colors that is larger than thetraditional RGB color model.VvTunerThis is a free online content server for InternetRadio.
