Notes on CD recordingp Operations on the navigation system may

take more time during recording than nor-mal.

p Tracks from a CD are recorded in 4 timesspeed. You can listen to that sound duringrecording.

p The data is recorded using a highly efficientcompression method, so the sound mayslightly differ from the original dependingon the sound source. Noise may be heardin some cases, but this is not an malfunc-tion.

p Recording is possible only with a CD thatcontains 44.1 kHz, 16-bit-stereo PCM digitalaudio data.

p Recording (or copying) to the music libraryis not possible from recording media (suchas CD-Rs) in which a CD or other data is di-gitally stored. This is due to the Serial CopyManagement System (SCMS) that was de-veloped to prevent second-generation or se-rial copies.

p Recording to the music library is not possi-ble from media (such as CD-Rs) in whichMP3 files are stored.

p When you are recording a CD with no trackintervals (such as a live concert CD), if theengine stops and the power turns off, thesound may break in a track when themusic data is played back.

Positioning TechnologyThe navigation system accurately measuresyour current location by combining the posi-tioning by GPS and by Dead Reckoning.

Positioning by GPSThe Global Positioning System (GPS) uses anetwork of satellites orbiting the Earth. Eachof the satellites, which orbit at a height of68 900 000 feet (21 000 km), continually broad-casts radio signals giving time and position in-formation. This ensures that signals from atleast three can be picked up from any openarea on the ground’s surface.

The accuracy of the GPS information dependson how good the reception is. When the sig-nals are strong and reception is good, GPScan determine latitude, longitude and altitudefor accurate positioning in three dimensions.But if signal quality is poor, only two dimen-sions, latitude and longitude, can be obtainedand positioning errors are somewhat greater.

Positioning by dead reckoningThe 3D Hybrid Sensor in the navigation systemalso calculates your position. The current loca-tion is measured by detecting driving distancewith the speed pulse, the turning directionwith the Gyrosensor and inclination of theroad with the G sensor.The 3D Hybrid Sensor can even calculatechanges of altitude, and corrects for discre-pancies in the distance traveled caused bydriving along winding roads or up slopes.Also, the navigation system learns the drivingconditions and stores information in the mem-ory; thus, as you drive more, the precision ofthe positioning becomes more accurate.The method of positioning changes as followsdepending on whether the speed pulse of yourvehicle is detected or not:

3D hybrid modeThis is active when the speed pulse is de-tected. Inclination of a street can be detected.

Simple hybrid modeWhen the speed pulse is not detected, posi-tioning is performed in this mode. Only hori-zontal movement is detected, so it becomes

less accurate. Also, when the positioning byGPS is not available, such as when your vehi-cle enters a long tunnel, the discrepancy be-tween your actual and calculated position maybecome bigger.p The speed pulse data comes from the

speed sensing circuit. The location of thisspeed sensing circuit depends on your ve-hicle model. In some cases, it is impossibleto make a connection to it, and in such acase we recommend that ND-PG1 speedpulse generator (sold separately) be used.

How do GPS and deadreckoning work together?For maximum accuracy, your navigation sys-tem continually compares GPS data with yourestimated position as calculated from the dataof 3D Hybrid Sensor. However, if only the datafrom the 3D Hybrid Sensor is available for along period, positioning errors are graduallycompounded until the estimated position be-comes unreliable. For this reason, wheneverGPS signals are available, they are matchedwith the data of the 3D Hybrid Sensor andused to correct it for improved accuracy.To ensure maximum accuracy, the dead reck-oning system learns with experience. By com-paring the position it estimates with youractual position as obtained using GPS, it cancorrect for various types of error, such as tirewear and the rolling motion of your vehicle. Asyou drive, the dead reckoning system gradu-ally gathers more data, learns more, and theaccuracy of its estimates gradually increases.So, after you have driven some distance, youcan expect your position as shown on the mapto show fewer errors.p If you use chains on your wheels for winter

driving or put on the spare wheel, errorsmay suddenly increase because of differ-ence in wheel diameter. The system detectsthe fact that the tire diameter has changed,and automatically replaces the value forcalculating distance.

p If ND-PG1 is used or if your vehicle is oper-ating in Simple hybrid mode, the distancecalculation value cannot be replaced auto-matically.

Map matchingAs mentioned, the GPS and dead reckoningsystems used by this navigation system aresusceptible to certain errors. Their calcula-tions may, on occasion, place you in a locationon the map where no road exists. In this situa-tion, the processing system understands thatvehicles travel only on roads, and can correctyour position by adjusting it to a nearby road.This is called map matching.

With map matching

Without map matching

Handling Large ErrorsPositioning errors are kept to a minimum bycombining GPS, Dead Reckoning, and mapmatching. However, in some situations, thesefunctions may not work properly, and the errormay become bigger.

When the positioning by GPS isimpossible! If signals cannot be received from more

than two GPS satellites, GPS positioningdoes not take place.

! In some driving conditions, signals fromGPS satellites may not reach your vehicle.In this case, it is impossible for the systemto use GPS positioning.

In tunnels or enclosed parking garages

Under elevated roads or similar struc-tures

When driving among high buildings

When driving through a dense forest ortall trees

! If a car phone or cellular phone is usednear the GPS antenna, GPS reception maybe lost temporarily.

! Do not cover the GPS antenna with spraypaint or car wax, because this may blockthe reception of GPS signals. Snow buildupcan also degrade the signals, so keep theantenna clear.

p If, for any reason, GPS signals cannot be re-ceived, learning and error correction arenot possible. If GPS positioning has beenoperating for only a short time, your vehi-cle’s actual position and the current loca-tion mark on the map may divergeconsiderably. Once GPS reception is re-stored, accuracy will be recovered.

Vehicles that CannotObtain Speed Pulse Datap The speed pulse data comes from the

speed sensing circuit. The location of thisspeed sensing circuit depends on your ve-hicle model. In some cases, it is impossibleto make a connection to it, and in such acase we recommend that ND-PG1 speedpulse generator (sold separately) beused.

Conditions Likely to CauseNoticeable Positioning ErrorsFor various reasons such as the state of theroad you are traveling on and the state of re-ception of the GPS signal, the actual positionof your vehicle may differ from the positiondisplayed on the map screen.! If you make a shallow turn.

! If there is a parallel road.

! If there is another road very nearby, suchas in the case of an elevated freeway.

ated. (Preset station select cannot be oper-ated.)

! If the selected source before ejecting thehard disk drive is [AV], the [AV INPUT]source is available on “Rear display”. (If theselected source is [DVD], nothing is outputto “Rear display”. If the selected source is[MIRROR], the same image as “Front dis-play” is output to “Rear display”.)

! Rear view camera is available only whenthe vehicle is backing up. ([Rear View] isnot available.)

Route Setting InformationRoute search specificationsYour navigation system sets a route to yourdestination by applying certain built-in rules tothe map data. This section provides some use-ful information about how a route is set.

CAUTIONWhen a route is calculated, the route and voiceguidance for the route is automatically set. Also,for day or time traffic regulations, only informa-tion about traffic regulations at the time when theroute was calculated is shown. One-way streetsand street closures may not be taken into consid-eration. For example, if a street is open during themorning only, but you arrive later, it would beagainst the traffic regulations so you cannot drivealong the set route. When driving, please followthe actual traffic signs. Also, the system may notknow some traffic regulations.

! The calculated route is one example of theroute to your destination decided by the na-vigation system whilst taking the type ofstreets or traffic regulations into account. Itis not necessarily an optimum route. (Insome cases, you may not be able to set thestreets you want to pass. If you need topass a certain street, set the waypoint onthat street.)

! The route set by your navigation systemmay not use the streets known to local dri-vers, such as small streets or special roads.

! Some route options may become the sameroute. If waypoints are set, only one route iscalculated.

! If the destination is too far, there may be in-stances where the route cannot be set. (Ifyou want to set a long-distance route goingacross several areas, set waypoints alongthe 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 not be announced.

! It is possible that guidance may direct youoff a freeway and then back on again.

! In some cases, the route may require youto travel in the opposite direction to yourcurrent heading. In such cases, you are in-structed to turn around, so please turnaround safely by following the actual trafficrules.

! In some cases, guidance may direct youpast your destination and then indicate aU-turn to get back to it.

! In some cases, a route may begin on theopposite side of a railway or river from youractual current location. If this happens,drive towards your destination for a while,and try route calculation again.

! When there is a traffic congestion or clo-sure ahead, if driving through the trafficcongestion or closure is better than takingthe detour, a detour route may not appear.

! There may be instances when the startingpoint and the destination point are not onthe highlighted route.

! The number of traffic circle exits displayedon the screen may differ from the actualnumber of roads.

Auto Reroute! Auto Reroute is used when you deviate

more than 0.02mile (Approx. 30m) fromthe route.

! The Auto Reroute function does not work inthe following cases:— when your vehicle is not on a street— when you are too close to your destina-

tion— when your vehicle is on a ferry— when driving on a road inside a facility— when driving on a traffic circle— when driving on the routes are de-

scribed in “Route highlighting”! The system assumes the driver deviated

either intentionally or inadvertently fromthe route and searches for another route(intelligent rerouting). Depending on the si-tuation, the system may search a new routethat does not return to the original one.

Route highlighting! Once set, the route is highlighted in bright

green or light blue 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 thedisplay, but voice guidance will continue.

Roads not used in calculationsEven though displayed on screen, the follow-ing roads are not included in route calcula-tions.! Walkways! Public vehicle only! Non access road= For details, refer to Viewing the Map Color Le-gend on page 49

Tracking! Your navigation system marks your course

on the map in certain increments. This iscalled tracking. It is handy when you wantto check a route traveled without guidanceor if returning along a complex route.

! A maximum of about 155 miles (250 km) ismarked and, as you travel beyond this limit,tracking marks are erased in order from themost distant. Tracking display shows about100 miles (160 km) tracking of your vehiclewith white dots.

! If you insert a CD-RW disc into this pro-duct, it will take more time to play backthan when you insert a conventional CD orCD-R disc.

! Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RWdiscs before using them.

MP3 files! When naming an MP3 file, add the corre-

sponding filename extension (.mp3).! This navigation system plays back files with

the filename extension (.mp3) as MP3 files.To prevent noise and malfunctions, do notuse this extension for files other than MP3files.

! MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 andrefers to an audio compression technologystandard.

! This product allows playback of MP3 fileson CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Re-corded discs can be played back if they arecompatible with level 1 and level 2 ofISO9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet filesystem.

! It is possible to play back multi-sessioncompatible recorded discs.

! MP3 files are not compatible with packetwrite data transfer.

! The maximum number of characters forthe file and folder name is 32 characters,including extension (.mp3). However thenavigation system uses proportional font.Therefore, the number of the charactersthat you can display varies according to thewidth of each character.

! When playing discs with both MP3 filesand audio data (CD-DA), such as CD-EXTRA and MIXED-MODE CDs, both typescan be played only by switching the modebetween MP3 and CD-DA.

! The folder selection sequence for playbackand other operations is the writing se-quence used by the writing software. Forthis reason, the expected sequence at thetime of playback may not coincide with theactual playback sequence. However, there

also are some writing software that permitthe setting of the playback order.

! Some audio CDs contain tracks that mergeinto one another without a pause. Whenthese discs are converted to MP3 files andburned to a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM, thefiles will be played back on this player witha short pause between each one, regard-less of the length of the pause betweentracks on the original audio CD.

! Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver.1.0 and Ver. 1.1 formats for displayingalbum (disc title), track (track title) and ar-tist (track artist).

! The emphasis function is valid only whenMP3 files of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz fre-quencies are played back. (16 kHz,22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHzsampling frequencies can be played back.)

! There is no m3u playlist compatibility.! There is no compatibility with the MP3i

(MP3 interactive) or MP3 PRO formats.! The sound quality of MP3 files generally im-

proves with an increased bit rate. This pro-duct can play recordings with bit ratesfrom 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to beable to enjoy sound of a certain quality, werecommend only using discs recorded witha bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
