DVD-Video discs have a high data capacity, en-
abling recording of multiple videos on a single
disc. If, for example, one disc contains three
separate videos, they are divided into title 1,
title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the conve-
nience of title search and other functions.

Track log
Your navigation system logs routes that you al-

log”. It is handy when you want to check a
route travelled 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
