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

aCD-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.	NAVI/AV
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)	Appendix
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.
