About the Environment

FAQ

Q: Is there a maximum dis- tance of transmission between Philips Wireless Music Center and Stations for effective streaming?

Q: Do I need a computer or home network to use Philips Wireless Music Center and Station?

Q: Would my neighbours be able to access the music I stored on Philips Wireless Music Center if they also have Philips Wireless Music Station?

A: Yes. The maximum distance of Wi-Fi transmission is 250m measured in open spaces. However, in a home environment, there solid obstacles such as walls and doors are present, the effective transmission distance is significantly reduced to approximately 50 -100m. Try to re-position the sets if you experience transmis- sion problems.

Q: What does Recording from CDs mean and what functions can I use while the recording is in progress?

Q: Do I need to immediately update the Gracenote music recognition database stored in Philips Wireless Music Center straight after bringing it home?

Q: Does Philips provide Gracenote music recognition database updates?

A: Recording from CDs is the process by which a CD track is converted into the much smaller MP3 format, and is then added to the Wireless Music Centers music library (hard disk). On the Wireless Music Center, Recording from CDs requires two steps: first, it reads the CD content and store it temporarily on the hard disk; Then, it converts this temporary CD content into MP3 format - a process called background-encoding. It takes 1 hour to convert 1 hour of CD music. During this stage you cannot stream or broadcast music on the Center, though you can still stream music from the Stations. Always switch the set to ECO POWER (power-saving mode) before removing its power plug.

A: No. There is already a massive CD-tracks database pre-stored in Philips Wireless Music Center, which should match most of the CDs released within the last six months.
