Appendix Appendix Positioning technology Positioning by GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each of the satellites, which orbit at a height of 21 000 km, continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and position information. This ensures that signals from at least three can be picked up from any open area on the earth’s surface. The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is.
Appendix Appendix Map matching As mentioned, the positioning systems used by this navigation system are susceptible to certain errors. Their calculations may, on occasion, place you in a location on the map where no road exists. In this situation, the processing system understands that vehicles travel only on roads, and can correct your position by adjusting it to a nearby road. This is called map matching.
Appendix Appendix Conditions likely to cause noticeable positioning errors ! If the road has connected hairpin bends. Appendix For various reasons, such as the state of the road you are traveling on and the reception status of the GPS signal, the actual position of your vehicle may differ from the position displayed on the map screen. ! If you make a shallow turn. ! If you drive in zigzags. ! If there is a parallel road. ! If there is a loop or similar road configuration.
Appendix Appendix ! If you are on a steep mountain road with many height changes. ! If trees or other obstacles block the GPS signals for a considerable period. ! If you enter or exit a multi-storey parking lot or similar structure using a spiral ramp. ! If you drive very slowly, or in a start-andstop manner, as in a traffic congestion. ! If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or similar structure. ! If you join the road after driving around a large parking lot.
Appendix Appendix CAUTION ! The calculated route is one example of the route to your destination decided by the navigation system while taking the type of streets or traffic regulations into account. It is not necessarily an optimum route. (In some cases, you may not be able to set the streets you want to pass. If you need to pass a certain street, set the waypoint on that street.) ! If the destination is too far, there may be instances where the route cannot be set.
Appendix Appendix Supplemental information about traffic icon Icon Meanings Stop-and-go traffic ! Avoid leaving discs in excessively hot environments including under direct sunlight. ! Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs. ! To clean a disc, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward from the center. Stopped traffic Closed/blocked roads Accidents, constructions, etc.

Appendix Appendix Glossary AAC AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression technology standard used with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Aspect ratio This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional presence and atmosphere. Bit rate This expresses data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second).
Appendix Appendix 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). Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark “.” and a file extension).
Appendix Appendix 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 disks. 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.
