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 Organisation). 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.
Navigation map disc
This DVD-ROM disc contains Pioneer navigation soft-
ware. Map data is also recorded on the disc.
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
indicating the area in which they were purchased. Play-
back of a DVD is not possible unless it features the same
region number as the DVD player. The navigation unit’s
region number is displayed on the bottom of the display
unit.
RDS-TMC
A communication system for informing drivers of the lat-
est traffic information using FM multiplex broadcast.
Information such as traffic jams or accidents can be
checked on the display.
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 trav-
elled.
VBR
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking
CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexi-
bly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio
compression, it is possible to achieve compression pri-
ority sound quality.
Voice guidance
The giving of directions by a recorded voice while in
guidance mode.
Voice recognition
The technology that allows the system to understand the
driver’s voice commands.
❒ In order to operate the navigation unit by voice, ou
need the microphone kit (CD-VC1), which is sold sep-
arately. Please refer to the “Owner’s Manual” for the
microphone kit.
Way Point
A location that you choose to visit before your destina-
tion; a journey can be built up from multiple way points
and the destination.
