Items Denition Examples
DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) is a
protocol that automatically allocates information such as
an IP address to a computer (client) which is temporarily
connected to the Internet. e DHCP server maintains
other parameters such as IP address for the gateway
server or DNS server, subnet mask, and the range of IP
addresses that can be provided to clients, and provides the
information to dial-up users.
When the client nishes accessing, the DHCP automatically
collects the addresses and allocates them to another
computer. e DHCP allows users to connect to the
Internet easily, even if they are not familiar with network
settings. Moreover, the DHCP allows the network
administrator to manage multiple clients easily.
Access point* An access point is a device which relays electronic signals in
order to connect wireless communication devices (such as a
lap top PC) together to form a wireless LAN network.
SSID* SSID (Service Set Identier) is a name that identies
the access point in an IEEE 802.11x series wireless LAN
network. It consists of a maximum of 32 alphanumeric
characters.
Security settings* Security settings prevent the use of les or peripheral
devices, or the interception of the contents of
communications by third parties. is unit can use WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) for the wireless LAN network
security setting.
Network key* e network key is a kind of password used for security
setting. e same network key will be needed for both the
wireless LAN router and the Ethernet/wireless LAN media
converter or the USB wireless LAN adaptor. It consists of a
maximum of 26 alphanumeric characters.

Managing the system
Backing up and restoring audio data
You can back up the audio data in the
units HDD to a shared folder on your
computer or to a USB hard disk. Backup
data can be used to restore the data to the
units HDD.
If the data in the HDD has been previously
backed up, the next time a back up
operation is performed, you can perform
incremental back up to save only the
contents that have been added since the
last back up, thereby shortening the time
required for the operation.
Note that the backed up audio data must
be validated at the time it is used to restore
data to the units HDD. To validate audio
data, conrmation must be received via
the Internet to guard against the illegal
copying of audio data.
Aer a certain amount of audio data
has accumulated in the HDD, it is
recommended that a backup be made as
insurance against unexpected accidents.
Note
To restore backed up data, the unit must be
connected to the Internet.
Required hard disk format and
size for backing up
To back up audio data to a USB hard disk,
the hard disk must use the FAT32 le
system.
e size of the hard disk should be larger
than the audio data that will be backed up.
Refer to page 110 for the size of the units
HDD. To check how much space remains
on the HDD, view the information in
[System info] in the Option menu.

Precautions
On safety

Completely disconnect the power cord (mains
lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not going
to be used for an extended period of time. When
unplugging the unit, always grip the plug. Never
pull the cord itself.

Should any solid object or liquid get into the unit,
unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualied
personnel before operating it again.

e AC power cord can be changed only by a
qualied service facility.
On placement

Do not place the unit in an inclined position or
in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty,
dirty, or humid or lacking adequate ventilation,
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or a bright
light.

Be careful when placing the unit on surfaces that
have been specially treated (for example, with
wax, oil, polish) as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the
CD player, and cause the unit to malfunction. In
this situation, remove the disc, and leave the unit
turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not cause for alarm.
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the cabinet
may have become hot.

Do not block the ventilation holes on the bottom
of this unit. Doing so will cause heat to build up
inside the unit, which may cause it to malfunction.
Do not place anything near the unit that may
block the ventilation holes.
When moving the unit
Do not move the unit while a CD is inserted. Doing
so may damage the CD.
NAC-HD1E.GB.3-213-271-11(1)

GB
On volume adjustment
CDs and hard disks reproduce sound with
considerably less noise than vinyl records. For this
reason, if you raise the volume while listening to a
segment containing only noise (as you might do in
the case of a vinyl record), a sudden output of high-
volume sound may cause damage to the speakers.
Make sure to lower the volume before the start of
playback.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level out of
consideration of your neighbors, especially at night.
On data back up
Audio data and system settings stored on the unit’s
hard disk may be lost during repairs done to the
unit. Before taking the unit in for repairs, it is
recommended that you record the settings on a piece
of paper and that you use the Back Up function
to back up the data to a shared folder on your
computer or a USB hard disk drive (see “Backing up
and restoring audio data” on page 92).
Data on the unit’s HDD is subject to damage during
normal operations. To prevent the loss of data, you
should back up the data on a regular basis. Please
note that we cannot take responsibility for any data
that may be lost or aected during normal use or
repairs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this unit with a so cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.

A device that bridges networks, converting
the protocols and addresses of each
network. Recently, dial-up routers for
connecting to ISDN lines and broadband
routers for ADSL and CATV networks
have been introduced. e term “router
by itself may refer to any of these devices.
Sampling frequency
When audio sources are converted
from analog to digital data, they must
be changed into numbers (digitized).
is process is called sampling, and the
sampling frequency refers to the number
of times per second that the signals are
measured for the recording.
Music CDs are sampled at 44,100 times
per second, so the sampling frequency
is expressed as 44.1 kHz. Generally, the
higher the sampling frequency, the higher
the delity of the recording.
USB storage
In this manual, USB storage refers to a
mass storage device that supports the
USB Mass Storage Class standard. ese
devices, such as a USB audio player, can be
connected to the USB jack on the unit or
a computer and used as a removable mass
storage device.
