Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation

This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is
the signal recording system used for music CDs and
DVDs. Generally, DVDs are recorded with higher sam-
pling frequency and bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs
can provide higher sound quality.

m3u
Playlists created using the [WINAMP] software
have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

Menu

A list of options shown on the display; choices are
selected touching the display.

MP3

MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio com-
pression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the
ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able
to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a
conventional disc.

MPEG

This stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, and is an
international “Video image” compression standard.
Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and
recorded using this system.

Multi-angle

With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras
are used to simultaneously shoot scenes, only images
from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV.
Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles,
letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)

Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multiple lan-
guages. Dialog in up to 8 languages can be recorded on
a single disc, letting you choose as desired.

Multi-session

Multi-session is a recording method that allows addi-
tional data to be recorded later. When recording data on
a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW, etc., all data from begin-
ning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-
session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions
in one disc.

Multi-subtitle

Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be recorded on a sin-
gle DVD, letting you choose as desired.

Optical digital output

By transmitting audio signals in a digital signal format,
the chance of sonic quality deteriorating in the course of
transmission is minimized. An optical digital output is
designed to transmit digital signals optically.

Packet write

This is a general term for a method of writing on CD-R,
etc. at the time required for a file, just as is done with
files on floppy or hard discs.

Parental lock

Some DVD-Video discs with violent or adult-oriented
scenes feature parental lock which prevents children
from viewing such scenes. With this kind of disc, if you
set the unit’s parental lock level, playback of scenes
inappropriate for children will be disabled, or these
scenes will be skipped.

Point of Interest (POI)

Point Of Interest; any of a range of locations stored in
the data, such as railway stations, shops, restaurants,
and amusement parks.

Region number

DVD players and DVD discs feature region numbers indi-
cating the area in which they were purchased. Playback
of a DVD is not possible unless it features the same
region number as the DVD player. The navigation sys-
tem’s region number is displayed on the bottom of the
display unit.

Route setting

The process of determining the ideal route to a specific
location; route setting is done automatically by the sys-
tem when you specify a destination.

Set route

The route marked out by the system to your destination.
It is highlighted in bright green on the map.

Title

DVD-Video discs have high data capacity, enabling
recording of multiple movies on a single disc. If, for
example, one disc contains three separate movies, they
are divided into title 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you
enjoy the convenience of title search and other func-
tions.

Tracking

Marks on the map indicating the route you have traveled.
