Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to
5.1 independent channels. This is the same as the Dolby
Digital surround sound system used in theaters.
DRM
This technology preserves the copyrights for digital data
by limiting the number of copies that can be made for
audio and video files.
DVD Map Discs
The DVD-ROM discs contain Pioneer navigation soft-
ware. Map data is also recorded on the discs.
Favourite location
A frequently visited location (such as your workplace or
a relative's home) that you can register to allow easy
routing.
GPS
Global Positioning System. A network of satellites that
provides navigation signals for a variety of purposes.

Guidance mode

The mode in which guidance is given as you drive to your
destination; the system automatically switches to this
mode as soon as a route has been set.
Guidance point
These are important landmarks along your route, gener-
ally intersections. The next guidance point along your
route is indicated on the map by the yellow flag icon.

Home location

Your registered home location.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related information
in a MP3 file. This embedded information can include
the track title, the artist's name, the album title, the
music genre, the year of production, comments and
other data. The contents can be freely edited using soft-
ware with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags
are restricted to the number of characters, the informa-
tion can be viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the format logic of
DVD/CD-ROM folders and files. For the ISO9660 format,
there are regulations for the following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to
8 characters, half-byte English capital letters, half-byte
numerals and the "_" sign, with a file-extension of three
characters.)
150
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters (including
the separation mark "." and a file extension). Each folder
contains less than 8 hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
JPEG
This stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and is
an international still image compression standard.
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).
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 size of a con-
ventional 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 programmes, although multiple cam-
eras 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 dialogue)
Some DVDs feature dialogue recorded in multiple lan-
guages. Dialogue 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, etc., all data from beginning to end is treated
as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of
recording more than 2 sessions on one disc.
Multi-subtitle
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be recorded on a sin-
gle DVD, letting you choose as desired.
