Philips NP2500/05 ユーザーズマニュアル

38

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.
LivingSound

LivingSound™ is a sound processing algorithm 

provided by Philips that offers spatial 

enhancements and the listener perceives 

the sound as though the loudspeakers were 

located a greater than actual distance apart 

from one another.
Lossless compression

A system for reducing the number of data bits 

(density) in a musical signal without corrupting 

the original.

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 low-frequency amplification applications, 

it provides better phase coherence and less 

distortion than stereo operation.

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.

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,
