Glossary : Portable Audio
- Sony LPEC codec
- The Sony LPEC Codec is a standard that ensures any device in which is it is included is capable of delivering and recording (where relevant) the highest quality digital data stream or signal.
- Noise Cancelling
- Noise Cancelling headphones reduce unwanted ambient sounds by means of active noise control. Up to 99% noise cancelling can be achieved. They act like ear plugs so it’s easy to switch off and unwind wherever you are – especially if you’re travelling.
- AVRCP v1.3
- AVRCP 1.3 is a recent version of Audio/Video Remote Control Profile. It acts as a remote control, allowing you to manage a range of other devices direct from your WALKMAN® – for example, change tracks or search for an album. It works in harmony with A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile).
- AVLS
- Sony AVLS (Audio Volume Limiter System) is a protective feature of the PSP, WALKMAN® and other portable audio devices. Whether on a noisy train or surrounded by disturbance, it’s designed to prevent the volume being raised to a dangerous level. The result is valuable protection for your ears.
