[. . . ] With the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data than a regular CD. Mute A control found on receivers, and some mixers or signal processing units that silences (mutes) a signal path, or output. S S/PDIF (SPDIF) (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) A standard audio-file transfer-format that was developed jointly by Sony and Philips. S/ PDIF allows the transfer of digital audio signals from one device to another, without the need to convert first to analog. This prevents the quality of the digital signal degrading during transfer to analog. Sensitivity Volume that a speaker offers for a specific voltage input, expressed in decibels per watt (dB/W). Signal to noise ratio Represents the difference between the level of the audio signal, and any interference. 1 dB SPL is the smallest increment in sound level to which the average human is sensitive. Theoretically, 0 dB SPL is the threshold of human hearing while approximately 120 dB is the threshold of pain. Usually taken to refer to two channel stereo, though developments in digital audio facilitate multichannel stereo. Streaming A technique for transferring data such that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream. Streaming technologies are often used on the Internet because many users do not have fast enough access to download large multimedia files quickly, so the client browser or plug-in can start displaying the data before the entire file has been transmitted. O Ohm Measure of resistance to current (impedance). The lower the impedance of a speaker, the harder it is to drive. P PBC The push button configuration (PBC) method is a router feature that allows connection by the push a button (actual or virtual). PIN In Internet routing, the Personal Identification Number (PIN) method allows users to use a PIN to connect the router. R RF (radio frequency) An alternating current or voltage with a frequency (or carrier wave) above about 100kHz. It is called radio frequency because these frequencies have a capacity to be radiated as electromagnetic waves by radio (and television) stations. 42 EN SuperPlay SuperPlayTM is a special feature of the product, which enables the listener to play all the music under a top-level library category, such as artists or albums, without having to select playlist items. SuperScroll SuperScrollTM is a navigation feature of the double-action search keys of the product. SuperScrollTM 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. Volume Volume is the most common word used to specify the control of relative loudness of sounds. It also pertains to the function on many electronic devices that is used to control the loudness. W W (wattage) A measurement of power. In speakers, wattage is a term that indicates powerhandling characteristics in dealing with electrical voltage inputs from the amplifier. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) Global protocol used in some wireless devices that allows the user to view and interact with data services. Generally used as a means to view Internet web pages using the limited transmission capacity and small display screens of portable wireless devices. Built into Windows 95 to XP, which made it the de facto standard for sound on PCs.
