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

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

location; route setting is done automatically by the sys-
tem when you specify a destination.
Set route

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.
