Modem:
The word modem
Mudulator/Demodulator. A modem is a communica-
tions device that can be either internal or external to our
computer. It allows a computer or a network of comput-
ers to connect to the Internet. The original dial-up
modems are becoming obsolete because of their slow
speeds, and are being replaced by much faster cable
and DSL modems.
MP3:
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as
MP3, is a patented digital audio encoding format using
a form of lossy data compression. It is a common
audio format for consumer audio storage, as well as a
de facto standard of digital audio comperssion for the
transfer and playback of music on digital audio play-
ers.
Note: PANDORA uses MP3 for the Sanyo HDTV.
Net Remote:
Net Remote is the feature of sending remote control
commands to a VUDU client device over direct Ethernet
network connection. For example: from your home PC,
laptop, networked PDA, universal programmable IP
capable remote control device, etc. The feature is main-
ly meant to support integrations of the VUDU box into
the home theater setups.
Powerline:
A technology that allows for the creation of a broadband
data network over standard home electrical wiring. A
typical powerline system consists of a transmitter that
plugs into an AC wall outlet and connects to a high-
speed cable/DSL modem via an Ethernet cable.
Powerline receivers can then be plugged into additional
wall outlets to extend the reach of the home's network.
Router:
Hardware device that routes data (hence the name)
within a network of computers. A router acts as a dis-
patcher, choosing the best path for information to trav-
el within a network so it's received quickly. Home users
typically utilize routers to allow multiple computers or
other internet ready devices to connect to a single inter-
net connection.

Switch:
for Switches function similarly to routers by serving as con-
trollers, enabling, networked devices to talk to each
other efficiently. However, switches cannot link internet
ready devices directly to the internet like a router, but
instead only connect devices togeter within a network.
They also don't provide the firewall and logging capabil-
ities that routers do.
Wi-Fi:
A standard for wireless communication accessing the
Internet and sharing data over a LAN. Media and AV
receivers, Blu-ray Disc players, and other components
use Wi-Fi to stream audio and video, download metada-
ta, and enable interactive features.
WMA:
Window Media Audio (WMA) is Microsoft's file format
and codec for audio (including music.) It's designed to
work primarily with Microsoft Windows Media Player
software on Window PCs and Windows Mobile smart-
phones, and Pocket PCs.
Note: NETFLIX uses WMA for their audio compression.
WMV:
Window Media Video (WMV) is Microsoft's file format
and codec for video. It's designed to work primarily with
Microsoft Windows Media Player software on Window
PCs and Windows Mobile smartphones, and Pocket PCs,
although some other media player software also sup-
ports this software.
Note: NETFLIX uses WMV for their audio compression.
