Important safety 1 information

General maintenance The translation of this document is for reference only. In the event of any inconsistency between the English version and the translated version, the English version shall prevail.

Caution

To avoid damage or malfunction: Do not expose the product to excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight. Do not drop the product or allow objects to fall on your player. Do not allow the product to be submerged in water. Do not expose headphone socket or battery compartment to water, as water entering the set may cause major damage. Active mobile phones in the vicinity may cause interference. Back up your files. Ensure that you retain the original files you have downloaded to your device. Philips is not responsible for any loss of data if the product becomes damaged or not readable / legible. Manage (transfer, delete, etc.) your music files only with the supplied music software to avoid problems. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene, or abrasives as these may harm the product.

About operating and storage temperatures

Replacement parts/accessories: Visit www.philips.com/support to order replacement parts/accessories. 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. 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 cant hear whats 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.

Note

Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; available storage capacity is less. Full memory capacity may not be available as some memory is reserved for the player. Storage capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128 kbps MP3 encoding. Transfer speed depends on operating system and software configuration.

15 Glossary

B 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 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 Decibel (dB) A unit of measure used to express relative difference in power or intensity of sound.

F FM (Frequency Modulation) In radio broadcasting: a method of modulation in which the frequency of the carrier voltage is varied with the frequency of the modulation voltage.

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.

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.

M 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.

MSC [Mass Storage Class] The USB mass storage device class (or USB MSC or UMS) is a set of computing communications protocols that provide an interface to storage devices. Devices that support this standard are referred to as MSC (Mass Storage Class) devices.

MTP [Media Transfer Protocol] Media Transfer Protocol supports the transfer of music and video files to portable audio and video players.

R 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.

S SuperScroll SuperScroll is a navigation feature of the double-action search keys of the product. SuperScroll allows easy speed control when scrolling through large libraries to swiftly find items within large libraries. Longer press of the button results in faster scroll speed.
