distorted  
This speaker system is not magnetically  
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets  
may become magnetically distorted. In this  
situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30  
minutes, and turn it back on. If there is no  
improvement, move the speakers far away  
from the TV.  
x DLNA  
Abbreviation for Digital Living Network  
Alliance. The DLNA is a nonprofit  
organization that establishes design guidelines  
for digital content shared over networks.  
x DNS  
Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A  
server that translates domain names to IP  
addresses, or IP addresses to domain names. A  
DNS is identified by an IP address. Also called  
a “DNS server.”  
x IP address  
IP addresses usually consist of four groups of  
up to three digits each, separated by a period  
(such as 192.168.239.1). All devices on a  
network must have an IP address.

x Network key (security key)  
An encryption key used to limit the devices  
with which communication can occur. It is  
used to provide higher security for devices  
communicating via a wireless LAN router/  
access point.  
x WPA  
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access. An  
encryption standard for wireless LAN  
networks created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to  
remedy a number of serious security problems  
in the WEP system. In addition to the network  
name (SSID) and encryption key (WEP), this  
protocol uses a user authentication framework  
called “EAP” (Extensible Authentication  
Protocol) and a protocol called “TKIP”  
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) which  
automatically updates the encryption code at  
regular intervals for higher security.  
x Proxy  
A program or a server that provides Internet  
access to computers within a firewall or  
quicker downloading of web pages.  
x Router  
A device that bridges networks, converting the  
protocols and addresses of each network.  
When connecting multiple network devices to  
the Internet, a router is necessary. The term  
“router” by itself may refer to any of these  
devices.  
x WPA2  
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2.  
An encryption standard for wireless LAN  
networks. As an upgraded version of WPA  
created by the Wi-Fi Alliance, this standard  
uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)  
cryptography to provide stronger security than  
WPA.  
x SSID  
Abbreviation for Service Set IDentifier. It is a  
name that identifies a particular access point  
within an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. To  
connect with an access point, a client device  
must be set with the same SSID. SSIDs can be  
up to 32 characters long. For higher security, a  
network key is normally also used. In this case,  
connection cannot occur unless the SSID  
matches the network key.  
x WPS  
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. A  
wireless network standard created by the Wi-  
Fi Alliance to allow you to set up a wireless  
network easily. A push button configuration  
method and a PIN code method are available.  
x WEP  
Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy.  
An encryption key used in wireless LAN  
networks. As an IEEE standard based on RC4  
algorithm cryptography, WEP is used to  
secure IEEE 802.11b wireless networks.  
During the transmission of a message between  
a wireless LAN access point and a client  
device, the sending side encrypts the data and  
the receiving side decrypts it. For  
communication to occur, both devices must  
use a common code key, which is called the  
“WEP key.” The encryption level is indicated  
by the bit count of the key; e.g., 64 bits or 128  
bits. The higher the bit count, the higher the  
security level.
