Question
Answer
Is there a maximum
distance of transmission
between Philips Wireless
Music Center and
Station/PC 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
significantly reduced to approximately 50-100m.Try to re-position
the set if you experience transmission problems.
What does 'Recording
from CDs' mean and
what functions can I use
while the recording is in
progress?
'Recording from CDs' (ripping) is the process by which a CD track is
converted into the much smaller MP3 format, and is then added to
the Wireless Music Center's music library (hard disk). On the
Wireless Music Center, 'Recording from CDs' requires two stages:
Firstly, it reads the CD content and stores it temporarily on the hard
disk.
Secondly, it converts this temporary CD content into MP3 format - a
process called 'background-encoding'.
It takes 1 hour to convert 1 hour of CD music.
During the first stage of the conversion you cannot stream or
broadcast music from Center; though you can still stream music
from Stations. Always switch the set to Eco Standby (power-saving
mode) before removing its power plug.
Do I need to
immediately update the
Gracenote music
recognition database
stored in Philips
Wireless Music Center
straight after bringing it
home?
No.There is already a massive CD track database pre-stored in
Philips Wireless Music Center, which should match most of the CDs
released within the last six months.
