sound, and the system outputs a canceling sound from the audio speaker.
AM (Amplitude Modulation)
Amplifier A device that increases the level of a signal by increasing the current or voltage.
Antenna A device used to send or receive electromagnetic waves thr ough the air.
ATA (PC Card) A type of card that has been tested for use in playing WMA, and MP3 music files in the PC Card slot. Sizes of up to 1 GB have been tested.
Audio remote switch The switches on the steering wheel that control the audio system.
Auxiliary jack Allows the customer to use a portable audio device to i nput audio recordings.
Balance A control that changes the relative volume of the left and right channels.
Band A range of frequencies between two definite limits. Bands are assigned by the Federal Communications Commission for specific uses.
Bass An adjustment for the low frequency sounds of around 160 Hz and below.
Byte A unit of storage for computer files and memory. A CD holds approximately 700 million bytes.
Cassette Audio or video magnetic tape container having two reels. Customers can insert it for play back
Compactflash Astandardforsmall-size(3x4cm),memorycardsusedinmobilecomputers, PDAs, digital cameras. Compact flash memory cards are available in size of

pickup. The signal from a CD player usually requires amplification.
Decibels (db)
Distortion Inexact repr oduction of an audio signal caused by playing music at levels the
audio system cannot handle.
Dolby (noise reduction) A processing system developed by Dolby Laboratories that reduces the background noise on recording media. The result is a cleaner playback from the
audio system.
DUET A serial data communication line used for sub display.
