DVD VIDEO DISC GLOSSARY DVD video discs: Digital Versatile Disc that holds video. DVD video discs have adopted “MPEG2”, one of the world stan- dards of digital compression technologies. The picture data is compressed by 1/40
on average and stored. Variable rate en- coded technology in which the volume of data assigned to the picture is changed depending on the picture format has also been adopted. Audio data is stored using PCM and Dolby digital, which enables higher quality of sound. Furthermore, mul- ti−angle and multi−language features will also help you enjoy the more advanced technology of DVD video. Viewer restrictions: This limits what can be viewed in conformity with the level of restrictions of the country. The level of restrictions varies depending on the DVD video disc. Some DVD video discs cannot be played at all, or violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes. Level 1: DVD video discs for children can be played. Level 2—7: DVD video discs for children and G−rated movies can be played.

feature

Level 8: All types of DVD video discs can be played. Multi−angle feature: You can enjoy the same scene at different angles. Multi−language feature: You can select the language of the subtitles and audio. Region codes: Region codes are provided on DVD players and DVD discs. If the DVD video disc does not have the same region code as the DVD player, you can- not play the disc on the DVD player. For region codes, see page 266. Audio: This DVD player can play liner PCM, Dolby digital, dts and MPEG audio format DVD. Other decoded type cannot be played. Title and chapter: Video and audio pro- grams stored on DVD video discs are di- vided in parts by title and chapter. Title: The largest unit of the video and audio programs stored on DVD video discs. Usually, one piece of a movie, one album, or one audio program is assigned as a title. Chapter: A unit smaller than a title. A title comprises plural chapters.

reception

In addition,

For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range. The farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will be. conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves. Here are some common reception prob- lems that probably do not indicate a prob- lem with your radio: FM Fading and drifting stations—Generally, the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance from the radio transmit- ter. They are often accompanied by distor- tion. Multi−path—FM reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each oth- er out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception.

Static and fluttering—These occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering. the FM signal you Station swapping—If are interrupted or weak- is ened, and there is another strong station nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second station until the origi- nal signal can be picked up again. AM Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphere—especially at night. These reflected signals can interfere with those received directly from the radio sta- tion, causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak. Station interference—When a reflected sig- nal and a signal received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same frequency, interfere with each other, making it difficult to hear the broad- cast. Static—AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electri- cal motors. This results in static.

MP3/WMA FILES D MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) are audio com- pression standards.

D The MP3/WMA player can play MP3
and WMA files on CD−ROM, CD−R and CD−RW discs. The unit can play disc recordings com- patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system.

D When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add the appropriate file extension (.mp3
or .wma).

D The MP3/WMA player plays back files with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as MP3 or WMA files. To prevent noise and playback errors, use the appropri- ate file extensions.

D Multi−session compatible CDs can also

be played.

D MP3 files are compatible with the ID3
Tag Ver.1.0, Ver.1.1, Ver.2.2, and Ver.2.3 formats. The unit cannot display disc title, track title and artist name in other formats.

D WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used in the same way as an ID3
tag. WMA tags carry information such as track title, artist name.

D The emphasis function is available only when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The system can play MP3 files with sampling fre- quencies of 16, 22.05, and 24 kHz. However, the emphasis function is not available for files recorded at these fre- quencies.)

D The sound quality of MP3/WMA files generally improves with higher bit rates. In order to achieve a reasonable level of sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are recommended. Playable bit rates MP3 files: MPEG1 LAYER3—64 to 320 kbps MPEG2 LSF LAYER3—64 to 160 kbps WMA files: Ver7, 8 CBR—48 to 192 kbps Ver9 CBR—48 to 320 kbps

TERMS Packet write— This is a general term that describes the process of writing data on−demand to CD−R, etc., in the same way that data is written to floppy or hard discs. Bit rate— Bit rate refers to data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. The higher the rate, the better the sound. Multi−session— Multi−session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD−ROM, CD−R or CD−RW, etc., all data from be- ginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi−session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions on one disc. CD−DA— CD−DA for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncom- pressed format of regular CDs.

ID3 Tag— This is a method of embedding track−re- lated information in an MP3 file. This em- bedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, com- ments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3
tag editing the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. WMA Tag— WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry information such as track title, artist name. ISO 9660 format— This is the international standard for the formatting of CD−ROM folders and files. For the ISO 9660 format, there are two levels of regulations. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8 charac- ter file extension. File names must be composed of one−byte capital letters and numbers. The “_” symbol may also be included.)

file names, with a 3 character

277

’06 4Runner_U (L/O 0508)

Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 charac- ters (including the separation mark “.” and file extension). Each folder must contain fewer than 8 hierarchies. Extended formats Joliet: File names can include up to 64 charac- ters. Romeo: File names can include up to 128 charac- ters. m3u— Playlists created using “WINAMP” software have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3— MP3 is an audio compression standard determined by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standard Organiza- tion). MP3 compresses audio data to about 1/10 the size of that on convention- al discs. WMA— WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression format developed by Micro- soft. It compresses files into a size small- er than that of MP3 files. The decoding formats for WMA files are Ver7, 8, and 9. 278

Operating tips D To cool off your Toyota after

it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly.

D Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example).

D On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield.

D Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate through- out the vehicle.

for a minute

D On cold days, set the fan speed to high the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.

—Checking and replacing the air conditioning filter The air conditioning filter may clog af- ter long use. The filter may need to be replaced if the air flow of the air condi- tioning and heater experiences extreme reductions in operating efficiency, or if the windows begin to fog up easily. To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance sched- ule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, such as inner city or desert areas, early replacement may be required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer the “Scheduled Mainte- nance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supple- ment”.)
