sounds.

Tuner

A component (or part of a component) that receives radio
signals and selects one broadcast from many.

Tweeter

A speaker designed to reproduce the higher frequencies
(treble) only.

Voice Coil

A coil of wire wrapped around a tube and then attached to
the speaker cone or diaphragm. When an audio signal is
applied, the coil becomes an electromagnet and interacts
with the permanent magnet causing the cone or diaphragm
to vibrate. We interpret this vibration as sound.

Volume Control

Allows you to control the loudness of the music.

WMA music file

Windows Media Audio File. This is an accepted format for
music files to be played on either a CD or a PC card.

Woofer

A speaker that is designed to reproduce bass frequencies
only.

XM Radio

Satellite based radio transmission, which also uses a
ground based repeater network to ensure seamless
reception. The channels originate from XM's broadcast
center, in Washington, DC, and uplink to two satellites.
These satellites transmit the signal across the entire
continental United States.

XM Receiver

The external component that receives and processes the
XM signals from the XM satellites, and terrestrial (land)
stations. The audio unit communicates to the XM receiver
over the GA-Net bus.
