l Applied configuration and connection

CI 5.1 -channel (bi-amp connection of front speaker)

This is a method of connecting separate amplifiers to the tweeter terminals and woofer terminals of bi-amp compatible speakers This connection

enables back EMF (power returned without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a
higher sound quality.

NOTE

. When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or
wire between the speakers woofer and tweeter terminals.

WEP Key (network key)

This is key information used forencrypting data when conducting data
transfer. On this unit, the same WEP key is used for data encryption and
decryption, so the same WEP key must be set on both devices in order for
communications to be established between them.

Wi-Fi®

Wi-Fi Certification assures tested and proven interoperability by the Wi-Fi
Alliance, a group certifying interoperability among wireless LAN devices.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

This is a security standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance. In addition to
the conventional SSID (network name) and WEP key (network key), it also
uses a user identification function and encrypting protocol for stronger
security.

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)

This is a new version of the WPA established by the Wi-Fi Alliance,
compatible with more secure AES encryption

Front panel Display 1

WPA-PSKIWPAZ-PSK (Pre-shared Key)

This is a simple authentication system for mutual authentication when a
preset character string matches on the wireless LAN access point and
client.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

This is a standard drawn up by the Wi-Fi Alliance to ease the task of
setting up wireless LAN connections and configuring security.
Network Names (SSID: Service Set Identifier)

When forming wireless LAN networks, groups are formed to prevent
interference, data theft, etc. These groups are based on SSID (network
names)". For enhanced security, a WEP key is set so that communication
is unavailable unless both the SSID and the WEP key match. This is
suitable for constructing a simplified network.
