Q
I cannot hear my voice through the
built-in microphone.
A This is because the setting is
configured so that sound from the
built-in microphone to the speaker is
muted to reduce the howling sound
effect. You can use the microphone
recording function normally, even in
this state.
When using an external microphone,
if you disable the microphone channel
mute function of the play mixer, you
can hear the sound input into the
external microphone through the
speaker.
I have a trouble with recording
after selecting ‘Acoustic Echo
Cancellation’ and unselecting Mute
in the Microphone volume of the
Playback Mixer.
A This is because the sound from the
external microphone is muted by
the Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Algorithm considering the sound as a
Acoustic Echo while the recording and
playing back is processed at the same
time. In this case, select Mute in the
Microphone Volume of the Playback
Mixer after selecting Acoustic Echo

177
Q
I cannot connect to an AP.
(The wireless connection is
disconnected frequently.)
 Check the Network Key.
A Right-click the Wireless Network
Connections icon from the Taskbar
and click View available wireless
networks. If wireless networks are
found, it indicates that the device is
operating properly but the network
settings may have a problem. Please
check the Network Key (Encryption
Key) and the AP settings.
 Check if there is a device nearby
using the same frequency band.
A1 If there is a device nearby using the
same frequency band such as another
wireless LAN device, wireless video
transceiver, microwave oven, plasma
bulb, etc., channel interference
may occur. If you experience
interference from another device, it
is recommended changing the AP
channel.
A2 When operating in EEE802.11g mode,
if there is a IEEE802.11b device
operating nearby, you may experience
low data rates or even disconnection
as it operates in Hybrid mode.
178
 Check the authentication type.
A A connection may be disconnected
after a period of time if the “Use
IEEE 802.1x network authentication”
option is selected when IEEE 802.1x
authentication is not being used.
View the properties of the
corresponding AP in the Wireless
Network Properties. In the
Authentication tab, unselect the “Use
IEEE 802.1x authentication in this
network” option.
For detailed information on the
authentication server, ask your
network administrator.
 Check the AP settings.
A1 Check if the surroundings are
appropriate for a wireless LAN.
A wireless LAN connection may
be limited by the surrounding
environment and distance. Obstacles
such as walls and door mats affect
the quality of the wireless LAN signal.
You have to install an AP in a high,
open position far away from any other
radio signal sources.
A2
A3
A4
A5
If the AP is excessively far away, or
is installed at the end of a building
and you are attempting to use the
wireless LAN from the other end, you
may not be able to use the wireless
communication normally because
the signal is blocked by obstacles
between you and the AP (such as a
wall).
Check if the AP operates properly. If
the AP is not operating properly, turn
it off and on again and try again.
Check if the AP firmware is the latest
version. (For more information on the
AP firmware, ask the AP manufacturer
or your product provider.)
Check if the AP is properly connected
to the network. Connect the LAN
cable from the AP to a computer and
check if the network is connected
properly.
Check the Network Key (Encryption
Key) settings again. If the automatic
password converting function
(passphrase function) is enabled and
the wireless connection is normal
but you cannot send data over the
connection, please enter the Network
Key (Encryption Key) manually.
179
A6 Check the AP settings as follows.
If there are multiple APs running at
the same time, check the channel
setting of each AP. If the interval
between the channels of the APs
is narrow, you may experience
electromagnetic interference. Set the
channel numbers of the APs so that
the internals between the channels
are maximized. (for example, Ch1,
Ch5, Ch9, Ch13) computer.
It is recommended unselecting the
Hide option of the AP. SSID (Service
Set ID) is a name used to distinguish
a wireless LAN from other wireless
LANs.
It is recommended using Long
Preamble. Preamble is a signal for
data transmission synchronization.
Although some APs support
Short Preamble, there might be a
compatibility problem.
Because “Fixed” channel selection
is more stable then ‘Auto’ channel
selection, “Fixed” channel selection
is recommended. It is recommended
not using the “Block Any” and “Any
Connection Block” functions. Although
these functions block connections
at the client side when the network
name is Any or Blank, it may cause a
compatibility problem.

Glossary
The Glossary lists the terminologies used in this User Guide.
For terminologies other than these, look in Windows Help.
Backup
A way to save the current data to restore
it later if necessary. A backup is a way
to restore computer data when the data
or computer is damaged.
Device Manager
An administrative tool used to manage
computer devices. You can add or
remove hardware or update a device
driver using the Device Manager.
Client
This refers to a computer that uses a
shared network resource provided by a
server.
Direct X
An application interface developed to
enable Windows application programs
to access hardware devices at a very
high speed. Since the operating speed
of graphics, memory and sound cards
must be very fast to provide high
quality video and sound for games,
Direct X enables faster control and
interaction between applications and
hardware devices. By using Direct X,
the multimedia performance of Windows
has been hugely improved.
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory)
DRAM is a memory type whose cells
consist of a capacitor and transistor
manufactured at a low price. SDRAM
is a memory type whose performance
has been improved by synchronizing
the clock with the external CPU clock.
DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose
performance has been improved by
doubling the operating speed of the
SDRAM and is widely used nowadays.
This computer uses DDR SDRAM.
Driver
Software that interacts between the
hardware and the operating system. An
operating system knows the hardware
information and controls the hardware.
In general, a driver is supplied with the
corresponding hardware device.
202
DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)
DVD was developed to replace CD
(compact disk). Although the shape and
size of the disc are the same as that of
a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least
4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is
600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS
(analog) video and supports MPEG2 
compression and digital audio. To play a
DVD, a DVD drive is required.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A communications network connecting
computers, printers and other devices
within a local area such as within a
building. A LAN enables all connected
devices to interact with other devices
on the network. The current LAN uses
the Ethernet media access control
method developed in the early 1980s.
To connect to an Ethernet, a network
card called a LAN card, Ethernet card
or network interface card is required.
To exchange data between computers,
a protocol is required besides the
hardware equipment. Windows XP uses
TCP/IP as the default protocol.
Firewall
A security system used to protect an
internal network or intranet from external
networks
through an authentication procedure.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
There are Passive Matrix and Active
Matrix LCD types. This computer uses
the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT
LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by
transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube
unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And
because it does not blink, it reduces eye
strain.
Hibernation Mode
A power mode that saves all data in
memory to the hard disk and turns the
CPU and hard disk off. When canceling
Hibernation Mode, all application
programs that were running are restored
to their last state.
Icon
This refers to a small image that
represents a file that users can use.
203
Network
A group of computers and devices, such
as printers and scanners, connected
by a communications link. A network
can be either small or large and can be
connected permanently through cables
or temporarily through telephone lines
or wireless links. The biggest network is
the Internet, a worldwide network.
Quick Launch
This refers to a toolbar that can be
configured so that you can launch a
program such as Internet Explorer or
display the Windows Desktop with one
click. You can add any icon to the quick
launch area of the Taskbar and launch
frequently used program by clicking that
icon.
Notification Area
This refers to the right area of the
Taskbar including program icons such
as the volume control, the power options
and the time.
Server
In general, a server refers to a computer
that provides shared resources for
network users.
Power Schemes
This refers to a pre-determined power
management option group. For example,
you can set the time the computer waits
before entering Standby Mode, or before
the monitor or hard drive turns off. The
settings are saved as a power scheme.
204
Share
This refers to setting a resource of a
computer such as a folder or printer so
that other users can also use it.
Shared Folder
A folder that can be used by other users
on the network.
SSD (Solid State Disk)
This refers to a device that saves
information to semiconductors unlike a
normal hard disk drive (HDD). There are
two types of SSD. One saves data to
the DRAM and the other saves data to
the Flash Memory. Since there are no
mechanical parts, an SSD provides a
much better performance than an HDD.
Especially, a Flash Memory-Type SSD
provides high reliability and durability.
System File
System Files refer to files that are read
and used by the Windows operating
system. In general, system files must not
be deleted or moved.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
This refers to a serial interface standard
developed to replace the conventional
interface standards such as Serial and
PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps
(12 million bits per second), USB 2.0
supports a data rate that is 40 times
(480Mpbs) faster than that of USB 1.1.
The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to
that of IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is
used for A/V devices supported by IEEE
1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW that
require a high data rate.
Network Administrator
A user who plans, configures and
manages network operations.
Sometimes, a network administrator is
called a system administrator.
Sleep Mode
A power mode that enables computers
to save power consumption when they
are not being used. When a computer
is in Sleep Mode, the data on the
computer memory is not saved to the
hard disk. If the power is turned off, the
data in memory will be lost.
Windows Media Player
A multimedia program included with
Windows. Using this program, you can
play a media file, create an audio CD,
listen to a radio broadcast, search and
manage media files, and copy files to a
portable device, etc.
