Acquiring/Cataloging iPod music information If you always set the language other than “ Eng- lish ” on “Program language: ” , this setting is unnecessar y . Unless [ VR Catalog Mode] is turned off , this navigation system tries to acquire the informa- tion needed to operate iP od with voice com- mands. It may take a short period of time to transfer the information. Change the setting according to your usage. The navigation system starts acquiring/catalo - ging music information (1) when the iP od is connected or when the system boots up while the iP od is connected and (2) when iP od is the selected and displayed A V Source, unless [ VR Catalog Mode ] is turned off . p If you do not use iP od, this setting is un- necessar y . p During transfer , iP od operations (such as [ Shuffle], [ Menu], or [ Video]) are not available. p Once the cataloging is completed, you can deactivate [ VR Catalog Mode] until you update the content/data on iPod. If you up- date the iP od data, activate [ VR Catalog Mode ] again to transfer the music informa- tion and synchronize the music information for voice commands with the data on iP od. p After you selec t “ Off ” in [ VR Catalog Mode ], the system doesn ’t catalog the data on the iP od. In such case, the pre- viously cataloged data are available as voice commands. p Once you start the cataloging process, only a few basic voice commands can be used for iP od until the process has completely finished. p If unreadable characters are included in the data on your iP od, names or types may not be available as voice commands. Important Notice regarding V oice Control for iPods V oice Control for iP ods may be limited if cata- loging of iP od content is not completed. Cata- loging of iP od content only occurs when the system is in “ AV Source ” mode and the “iP od ” is the selected and displayed AV source. Cata- loging of iP od content will not occur if the sys- tem is off , if any other “ AV Source ” is selected (aside from iP od), or if the system is in any other mode (aside from “ AV Source ” mode) such as “Destination ” mode, “Contacts ” mode, “ Settings” mode, “ Phone” mode or “ Map” mode. If you wish to use V oice Control for all iP od content, it is recommended that you first connect your iP od, select “iP od ” as the AV source, and keep the iP od screen displayed until cataloging is completed — cataloging of iP od content should only take a few minutes, and will depend on the size of the conent stored on your iP od. A message will be dis- played when cataloging is completed. 1 T ouch [VR Catalog Mode] on the “ AV Settings ” menu. = F or details, refer to Displaying the “ A V Set- tings ” menu on page 95. 2 T ouch [On] or [Off] to activate or deacti- vate “VR Catalog Mode ”.

Positioning techno logy Positioning by GPS The Global P ositioning 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 sig- nals 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 sur face. The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is. When the sig- nals are strong and reception is good, GPS can determine latitude, longitude and altitude for accurate positioning in three dimensions. But if signal quality is poor , only two dimen- sions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained and positioning errors are somewhat greater . Map matching As mentioned, the positioning systems used by this navigation system are susceptible to certain errors. Their calculations may , on occa- sion, 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 positio n by ad- justing it to a nearby road. This is called map matching. With map matching Without map matching Handling large errors P ositioning errors are kept to a minimum by combining GPS and map matching. However , in some situations, these functions may not work properly, and the error may become big- ger . Appendix En 111 Appendix Appendix
When positioning by GPS is impossible ! If signals cannot be received from more than two GPS satellites, GPS positioning does not take place. ! In some driving conditions, signals from GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle. In this case, it is impossible for the system to use GPS positioning. In tunnels or en- closed parking garages Under elev ated roads or similar structures When driving among high build- ings When driving through a dense forest or tall trees ! If a car phone or cellular phone is used near this product, GPS reception may be lost temporarily. ! Do not cover this product with spray paint or vehicle wax, because this may block the reception of GPS signals. p If a GPS signal have not been received for a long time, your vehicle ’s actual position and the current position mark on the map may diverge considerably or may not be up- dated. In such case, once GPS reception is restored, accuracy will be recovered. Conditions likely to cause noticeable positioning errors F or various reasons, such as the state of the road you are traveling on and the reception status of the GPS signal, the actual positio n of your vehicle may differ from the position dis- played on the map screen. ! If you make a shallow turn. ! If there is a parallel road. ! If there is another road ver y nearby , such as in the case of an elevated freeway . ! If you take a recently opened road that is not on the map. ! If you drive in zigzags. Appendix En 112 Appendix
! If the road has connected hairpin bends. ! If there is a loop or similar road configura- tion. ! If you take a ferr y . ! If you are driving on a long, straight road or a gently cur ving road. ! If you are on a steep mountain road with many height changes. ! If you enter or exit a multi-storey parking lot or similar structure using a spiral ramp. ! If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or si- milar structure. ! If your vehicle ’s wheels spin , such as on a gravel road or in snow . ! If you put on chains, or change your tires for ones with a different size. ! If trees or other obstacles block the GPS signals for a considerable period. Appendix En 113 Appendix Appendix

Route setting infor mation Route search specifications Y our navigation system sets a route to your destination by applying certain built-in rules to the map data. This section provides some use- ful information about how a route is set. CAUTION When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route are automatically set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only infor- mation about traffic regulations at the time when the route was calculated is shown. One-way streets and street closures may not be taken into consideration . F or example, if a street is open dur- ing the morning only , but you arrive later , it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route. When driving, please follow the actual traffic signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations. ! The calculated route is one example of the route to your destination decided by the na- vigation 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 in- stances where the route cannot be set. (If you want to set a long-distance route going across several areas, set waypoints along the way .) ! During voice guidance, turns and intersec- tions from the freeway are announced. However , if you pass intersections, turns, and other guide points in rapid succession, some may delay or not be announced. ! It is possible that guidance may direct you off a freeway and then back on again. ! In some cases, the route may require you to travel in the opposite direction to your current heading. In such cases, you are in- structed to turn around, so please turn around safely by following the actual traffic rules. ! In some cases, a route may begin on the opposite side of a railway or river from your actual current location. If this happens, drive towards your destination for a while, and tr y route calculation again. ! When there is a traffic congestion ahead, if driving through the traffic congestion is better than taking the detour , a detour route may not be suggested. ! There may be instances when the starting point, the waypoint and the destination point are not on the highlighted route. Appendix En 114 Appendix
! The number of traffic circle exits displayed on the screen may differ from the actual number of roads. Route highlighting ! Once set, the route is highlighted in bright color on the map. ! The immediate vicinity of your starting point and destination may not be high- lighted, and neither will areas with particu- larly complex road layouts. Consequently, the route may appear to be cut off on the display , but voice guidance will continue.

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). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound. Current location The present location of your vehicle; your cur- rent location is shown on the map by a red tri- angle mark. Destination A location you choose as the end point of your journey . Favorites A frequently visited location (such as your workplace or a relative ’s home) that you can register to allow easy routing. GPS Global P ositioning System. A network of satel- lites that provides navigation signals for a vari- ety of purposes. Guidance mode The mode in which guidance is given as you drive to your destination; the system autom ati- cally switches to this mode as soon as a route has been set. Guidance point These are important landmarks along your route, generally intersections. The next gui- dance point along your route is indicated on the map by the yellow flag icon. Home location Y our registered home location. ID3 tag This is a method of embedding track-related information in a MP3 file. This embedded in- formation can include the track title, the ar- tist ’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 T ag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted by the num- ber of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. JPEG This stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and is an international still image com- pression standard. MP3 MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard established by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (Interna- tional Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the size of a conventional disc. MPEG This stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compression standard. Phone book An address book on user ’s phone is collec- tively referr ed to as “Phone book ”. Depending on the cellular phone, “Phone book ” may be called a name such as “Contacts ”, “Business card ” or something else. Appendix En 126 Appendix
Point of Interest (POI) P oint Of Interest; any of a range of locations stored in the data, such as railway stations, shops, restaurants, and amusement parks. Route setting The process of determining the ideal route to a specific location; route setting is done auto- matically by the system when you specif y a destination. Set route The route marked out by the system to your destination. It is highlighted in bright color on the map. T rack log Y our navigation system logs your course that you already pass through if the track logger is activated. This recorded course is called “track log ”. It is handy when you want to check a route traveled or if returning along a complex route. VBR VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio compres- sion, it is possible to achieve compression- priority sound quality . V oice guidance The giving of directions by navigation voice while in guidance. W aypoint A location that you choose to visit before your destination; a journey can be built up from multiple way points and the destination. WMA WMA is short for Windows Media ™ Audio and refers to an audio compression technol- ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corporation . Appendix En 127 Appendix Appendix
