analyzing, the ON/STANDBY indicator

lights up in green and the illumination

panel slowly ashes.

It takes about 15 minutes for the unit to

analyze a 60-minute album. If you record a

large number of music tracks at one time,

it will take a while for the unit to analyze

them.

Note

the unit is analyzing the recording contents. If you

do, a malfunction may occur.

To cancel an analysis

Press .

e analysis is cancelled. Tracks that were

not analyzed are automatically analyzed

the next time the unit enters standby

mode.

Items Denition Examples

IP address A numeric address that is given to a computer. e IP

address component consists of four sets of triple digits, set

delimited by a period.

192.168.xxx.xxx

Subnet mask Numbers used to identify the range that the IP address

belongs to.

255.255.xxx.xxx

Default gateway A device such as a computer or a broadband router on a

network which can serve as the gateway when accessing

another computer outside of the network. It is specied by

an IP address.

192.168.xxx.xxx

DNS server address

(primary/

secondary)

A server that has the function of translating domain names

into IP addresses, and is specied by an IP address.

Depending on the service provider, it may also be called a

“name server”, “DNS1/DNS2”, “DNS server”, or “domain

server”.

192.168.xxx.xxx

Proxy If proxy information is given by the service provider, this

item must be set. A proxy is an intermediate server which

accesses the desired Web server, instead of the unit, through

a rewall to prevent illegal access from the outside. Proxy

servers also have the function of caching information to

provide quicker downloads.

Proxy.xxx.xx.xx

Port is is the port number for a proxy server. If a port number

is given by the service provider, this item must be set.

A port number is necessary for identifying the application

out of the many active on the computer to which

NAC-HD1E.GB.3-213-271-13(1)

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.

* For wireless LAN networks only.

Managing the system

Backing up and restoring audio data

You can back up the audio data in the

unit’s 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

unit’s 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 unit’s 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,

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)

106

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.

Note on the power cord

Before you unplug the power cord from the wall

outlet, make sure that the unit is in standby mode

(the ON/STANDBY indicator is lit up red or

orange). If you unplug the power cord while the

unit is operating (the ON/STANDBY indicator lit

up green), data that was recorded may be lost or the

unit may malfunction.

the standard for audio CDs).

MP3

Abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer3.

It is a standard for audio le compression

determined by the MPEG (Motion Picture

Experts Group), an ISO (International

Organization for Standardization) working

group. It enables compression of audio les

to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard

compact disc. Since the MP3 encoding

algorithm is disclosed, there are various

encoders/decoders that are compliant

with this standard. e MP3 standard is

therefore widely used in the computer

eld.

MSC

MSC refers to the USB Mass Storage Class

in this unit.

MSC is a data transfer protocol dened

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.
