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
can’t hear what’s 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 trafc hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
Your product is designed and manufactured
with high quality materials and components,
which can be recycled and reused.
When you see the crossed-out wheel bin
symbol attached to a product, it means the
product is covered by the European Directive
2002/96/EC:
Never dispose of your product with other
household waste. Please inform yourself about
the local rules on the separate collection of
electrical and electronic products. The correct
disposal of your old product helps prevent

Radiofrequency radiation exposure
Information:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.This equipment should be installed
and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm
between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
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:

what do I do?
Press + VOL - to increase the volume.
Press the MUTE button again to reactivate
the sound output.
Is there a maximum distance of transmission
between a wireless router and the NP2900
for effective streaming?
Yes. The maximum distance of Wi-Fi
transmission is 250m measured in open spaces.
However, in a home environment, where solid
obstacles such as walls and doors are present,
the effective transmission distance is reduced
to 50-100m. Reposition the devices if you
experience transmission problems.
I have not received any registration email from
ConsumerCare@Philips.com.
Check that the email address that is
entered in the user registration section is
valid and spelled correctly.
Check that the PC has an active Internet
connection.
The Internet server may be busy, try again
later.
Check if the email was redirected to the
spam folder.
How do I avoid Wi-Fi interferences from
other devices that operate in the same
(2.4GHz) frequency spectrum, such as Dect
phones or bluetooth devices?
Move the NP2900 at least 3m away from
such devices.
Use a WEP/WPA encryption key when
you create the wireless connection your
PC / home network.
Change the operating channel on the
interfering devices.
Turn the devices in different directions to
minimize interference.

AUX
Auxiliary input that allows you to connect
portable audio devices.
B
Bass
The lowest three octaves of the audio band.
Low bass is the bottom octave (20-40Hz), mid-
bass is the middle octave (40-80Hz), and upper
bass is the 80-160Hz octave.
Bit / bits
A bit is a binary digit, taking a value of either 0
or 1. For example, the number 10010111 is 8
bits long.
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
CBR (constant bit rate)
With CBR the encoder spends the same
amount of bits on each frame, regardless of
how much it may really need. Disadvantage
of CBR: Bits are wasted in case of absolute
blackness of a picture or complete silence in an
audio frame. And pictures or audio frames with
a lot of elements may need those bits.
CD (Compact Disc)
Format developed by Phillips, Sony, and Pioneer
for conveying music and data. CDs record
information by deforming the inner metal foil
on the disc with tiny micro pits burned in by a
laser.
CDDB
A centralized database of CDs, CD tracks, and
artists on the Web, now known as Gracenote.
The audio player or burner program can log on
to CDDB. It uploads the ID of the CD being
13 Glossary
A
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)
An audio compression scheme dened as part
of the MPEG-2 standard (also known as MPEG-
2 AAC or MPEG-2 NBC, or Not Backwards
Compatible). It offers better sound and a
compression ratio that is superior by roughly 30
percent compared to the MPEG-1 MP3 format.
AC (alternating current)
An alternating current is an electrical current
whose magnitude and direction vary cyclically,
as opposed to DC (direct current), whose
direction remains constant. The usual waveform
of an AC power circuit is a sine wave, as this
results in the most efcient transmission of
energy. However certain applications use
different waveforms, such as triangular or square
waves.
Album art
Album art is a feature of the NP2900 that
displays the artwork (cover picture) of a music
album. This display enables the user to quickly
identify a music album. The artwork les for
music albums can be downloaded from the
Internet.
Amplier
A device, either a single stage or a large scale
circuit with multiple stages for creating gain, i.e.
it makes small signals larger.
Antenna
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up
a received radio frequency signal or radiates a
transmitted RF signal.
Audio output
High-level (speaker) or line-level (RCA) signals
sent from one system component to another;
or the high-level signal from an amplier to the
system speakers.
Glossary English

can be transmitted through multiple channels.
Analog sound can only be transmitted through
two channels.
Duplex (half/full)
Full duplex is the ability to send and receive
data simultaneously. Duplex is synonymous with
full duplex. Example: when a modem operates
in full-duplex mode, it can transmit data in two
directions simultaneously. In half-duplex mode
it can transmit data in two directions, but not
simultaneously.
E
Encryption key
An encryption key is an alphanumeric series
that enables data to be encrypted and then
decrypted so it can be safely shared among
members of a network.
F
Frequency
The property or condition of occurring at
frequent intervals. In sound, this simply refers
to the regular occurrence of compression and
rarication of air that we experience as sound.
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,
played, and then downloads the title, artist, and
track list.
Coaxial
A single copper conductor, surrounded with
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding
copper shield and nally, an insulating jacket.
An unbalanced transmission line with constant
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly used
for low level, line signals terminated in RCA
connectors.
Compression
In audio terms, this is a process of temporarily
or permanently reducing audio data for more
efcient storage or transmission. A temporary
reduction in le size is called ‘non-lossy’
compression, and no information is lost. A
permanent reduction in le size (such as with
MP3 les) is called ‘lossy’ compression, and
involves discarding unnecessary information
which is irretrievably lost.
D
DC (direct current)
Direct current or continuous current is the
constant ow of electric charge. This is typically
in a conductor such as a wire. In direct current,
the electric charges ow in the same direction,
distinguishing it from AC (alternating current).
Decibel (dB)
A unit of measure used to express relative
difference in power or intensity of sound.
DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Conguration
Protocol. It is a protocol for assigning dynamic
IP addresses to devices on a network.
Digital
A method to encode information using a binary
code of 0s and 1s. Many wireless phones and
networks use digital technology.
Digital Audio
Digital Audio is a sound signal that has been
converted into numerical values. Digital sound

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 le format used by Apple in their
iTunes Music Store often appears on your
system with the ‘.m4a’ lename extension. M4A
can produce better audio quality than MP3
using less physical space for the les.
MHz (Mega Hertz)
One million cycles per second.
Mono (monaural)
The operation of an amplier in one channel
for both input and output. Can refer to an
amplier with only one channel of amplication
or operating in bridged mode. For low-
frequency amplication applications, it provides
better phase coherence and less distortion than
stereo operation.
MP3
A le 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.
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 ow of an electric current
in a circuit. This is effectively the electrical load
that a loudspeaker presents to the amplier
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, DAB,
MP3 etc. The higher the amount, the better the
quality generally is.
Kilo Hertz (kHz)
1000Hz or 1000 cycles per second.

Shufe
A feature that plays audio les (tracks) in
random order.
Signal to noise ratio
Represents the difference between the level of
the audio signal, and any interference. The larger
the gure, the purer the sound.
SPL (sound pressure level)
An acoustic measurement of sound energy.
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.
Stereo
Literally means solid. 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 les quickly, so the client browser or
plug-in can start displaying the data before the
entire le has been transmitted.
SuperPlay
SuperPlay™ is a special feature of the NP2900,
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.
T
Thumbnail
A thumbnail is reduced-size versions of a
picture that is used to make it easier to
recognize an them. Thumbnails serve the same
role for images as a normal text index does for
words.
Mute
A control found on receivers, and some mixers
or signal processing units that silences (mutes) a
signal path, or output.
O
Ohm
Measure of resistance to current (impedance).
The lower the impedance of a speaker, the
harder it is to drive.
P
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
Pioneering form of digital recording.
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.
Rhapsody®
Rhapsody® is an on-line music service that
offers streaming on-demand access to its library
of digital music.
S
S/PDIF (SPDIF) (Sony/Philips Digital Interface)
A standard audio-le 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 rst to analog. This prevents the quality
of the digital signal degrading during transfer to
analog.
Sensitivity

which made it the de facto standard for sound
on PCs. WAV sound les end with a ‘.wav’
extension and works with nearly all Windows
applications that support sound.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
All 802.11b (Wi-Fi / wireless) networks use
WEP as their basic security protocol. WEP
secures data transmissions using 64-bit or
128-bit encryption; however, it does not
offer complete security and is usually used in
conjunction with other security measures such
as EAP.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a wireless
technology brand owned by the Wi-Fi Alliance
intended to improve the interoperability of
wireless local area network products based
on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Common
applications for Wi-Fi include Internet and VoIP
phone access, gaming, and network connectivity
for consumer electronics such as televisions,
DVD players, and digital cameras.
Wireless
Telecommunications using electromagnetic
waves rather than wires or cable to transmit
information. Wireless communication can be
used for free-ranging mobile systems such as
cell phones and global positioning systems
(GPS), which use satellite technology. Wireless
systems can also be xed, such as LANs that
provide wireless communications within a
limited area (such as an ofce), or wireless
peripherals such as mice and keyboards.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
An audio format owned by Microsoft, is a
part of Microsoft Windows Media technology.
Includes Microsoft Digital Rights Management
tools, Windows Media Video encoding
technology, and Windows Media Audio
encoding technology.
WPA / WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
A Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve
upon the security features of WEP. The
technology is designed to work with existing
U
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
Universal Plug and Play is a networking
architecture developed by a consortium of
companies to ensure easy connectivity between
products from different vendors. UPnP devices
should be able to connect to a network
automatically, handling identication and other
processes on the y. The standards developed
by the UPnP Forum are media-, platform-, and
device-independent.
V
VBR (variable bit rate)
With VBR, the encoder takes as much bits as
it needs. So black pictures get few bits and
complex pictures get as much as they need.
While this provides the best quality the nal
size cannot be predicted at all.
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 power-handling
characteristics in dealing with electrical voltage
inputs from the amplier.

to install and use, on the Device or a PC, as applicable, one (1) copy of the specified version of the Software in
object code format as set out in the user documentation solely for your personal use.The Software is “in use”
when it is loaded into the temporary or permanent memory (i.e. RAM, hard disk, etc.) of the PC or the
Device.

the Software, but you do not acquire any rights, express or implied, in the Software other than those specified
in this Agreement. Philips and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all
patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights incorporated therein.The Software is

copy any printed materials accompanying the Software, nor print more than one (1) copy of any user
documentation provided in electronic form, except that you may make one (1) copy of such printed materials

loan, or otherwise transfer the Software.You shall not, and you shall not permit any third party, to reverse
engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly prohibits
the foregoing restriction.You may not remove or destroy any product identification, copyright notices, or other
proprietary markings or restrictions from the Software. All titles, trademarks, and copyright and restricted
rights notices shall be reproduced on your back up copy of the Software. You may not modify or adapt the
Software, merge the Software into another program or create derivative works based upon the Software.
4.Termination of certain functionality. The Software may contain components of certain licensed
software including software licensed from Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) which implements Microsoft’s
digital rights management technology for Windows Media. Content providers are using the digital rights
management technology for Windows Media (“WM-DRM”) to protect the integrity of their content (“Secure
Content”) so that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Your
Device may also use WM-DRM software to transfer or play Secure Content (“WM-DRM Software”). If the
security of such WM-DRM Software is compromised, Microsoft may revoke (either on its own or upon the
request of the owners of Secure Content (“Secure Content Owners”)) the WM-DRM Software’s right to
acquire new licenses to copy, store, transfer, display and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the
WM-DRM Software’s ability to play unprotected content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your
PC and/or your Device whenever you download a license for Secure Content. Microsoft may, in conjunction
with such license, also download revocation lists onto your Device on behalf of Secure Content Owners, which
may disable your Device’s ability to copy, store, display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content. Secure Content
Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed with this Software
(“WM-DRM Upgrades”) before accessing their content. When you attempt to play Secure Content,WM-DRM
Software built by Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent
before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software built by Philips may do the same. If you
decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access Secure Content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade;
however, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not require the
upgrade. WM-DRM features that access the Internet, such as acquiring new licenses and/or performing a
required WM-DRM Upgrade, can be switched off. When these features are switched off, you will still be able to
play Secure Content if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your Device. However, you
will not be able to use certain of the WM-DRM Software features that require Internet access such as the
ability to download content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade. All title and intellectual property rights in
and to the Secure Content is the property of the respective Secure Content owners and may be protected by
applicable copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties. This Agreement grants you no rights to
use such Secure Content. To summarize, if the Software contains Microsoft WM-DRM components
– Secure Content you desire to download, copy, store, display, transfer, and/or play is protected by
the Microsoft WM-DRM components of the Software. Microsoft, Secure Content Owners, or
Secure Content distributors may deny you access, or restrict your access, to Secure Content
even after you have paid for, and/or obtained, it. Neither your consent nor the consent or
approval of Philips is necessary for any of them to deny, withhold or otherwise restrict your
access to Secure Content. Philips does not guaranty that you will be able to download, copy,
store, display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content.
