59Explanation termsAAES (Advanced Encryption Standard)This is a next generation standard encryptionmethod replacing the current DES and 3DES, andbecause of its high security it is expected to beapplied widely to wireless LANs in the future. Ituses the “Rijndael” algorithm developed by twoBelgian cryptographers to divide the data intoblocks of fixed lengths and encrypt each block.It supports data lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bitsand key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits as well,offering extremely high encryption security.AirPlayAirPlay sends (plays) contents recorded in iTunesor on an iPhone/iPod touch to a compatible devicevia the network.BBit rateThis expresses the read amount per 1 second ofvideo/audio data recorded in a disc. A larger numbermeans higher sound quality, but also means a largerfile size.DDLNADLNA and DLNA CERTIFIED are trademarks and/or service marks of Digital Living Network Alliance.Some contents may not be compatible with otherDLNA CERTIFIED® products.FFinalizeThis is processing that enables playing back of discof CD, which was recorded using a recorder, byother players.FLACFLAC 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.

Ituses the 2.4 GHz band usable freely withouta radio frequency license (ISM band), enablingcommunications at a maximum speed of 11 Mbps.• The value indicated above is the maximumtheoretical value for the wireless LAN standard,and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.IEEE 802.11gThis is another wireless LAN standard set by the802 working group that establishes LAN technologystandards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers) of the United States, andis compatible with IEEE 802.11b. It also uses the2.4 GHz band, but enables communications at amaximum speed of 54 Mbps.• The value indicated above is the maximumtheoretical value for the wireless LAN standard,and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.iTunesiTunes 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.MMP3 (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”.NNetwork Names(SSID: Security Set Identifier)When forming wireless LAN networks, groups areformed to prevent interference, data theft, etc.This grouping is done by “SSID” or “Security SetIdentifiers”. For further security, a WEP key is setand signal transfer is not possible unless the SSIDand WEP key match.PProtection circuitThis is a function to prevent damage to componentswithin the power supply when an abnormalitysuch as an overload, excess voltage occurs ortemperature 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 with thisvalue smaller.TTKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)This is a network key used for WPA. The encryptionalgorithm is RC4, the same as for WEP, but thesecurity level is increased by changing the networkkey used for encryption for each packet.
