When your vehicle moves from onetransmission area to another with thealternative frequencies tuning switchedon, this function will search for thestrongest station signal.
Under certain conditions, alternativefrequencies tuning may temporarily disruptnormal reception.
When selected, the unit continuallyevaluates signal strength and if a bettersignal becomes available, the unit willswitch to that alternative. It mutes whileit checks a list of alternative frequenciesand if necessary, it will search once acrossthe selected waveband for a genuinealternative frequency.

Regional Mode
Regional mode controls the behavior ofalternative frequencies switching betweenregionally related networks of a parentbroadcaster. A broadcaster may run a fairlylarge network across a large part of thecountry. At various times of the day thislarge network may be broken down into anumber of smaller regional networks,typically centred on major towns or cities.When the network is not split into regionalvariants, the whole network caries thesame programming.
Regional mode ON: This prevents randomalternative frequency switches whenneighbouring regional networks are notcarrying the same programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a largercoverage area if neighbouring regionalnetworks are carrying the sameprogramming, but can cause randomalternative frequency switches if they arenot.

MP3 and WMA File Playback
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) or WMA(Windows media audio) is a standardtechnology and format for compressingaudio data. This allows a more efficientuse of the media.
You can play MP3 files recorded onCD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW formats. Thedisc must be in the ISO 9660 level 1 or level2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in theexpansion format. You can also use a discrecorded in multi session.
ISO 9660 Format
This is the most common internationalstandard for the logical format of files andfolders on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. InLevel 1, file names must be in the 8.3format (no more than eight characters inthe name, no more than three charactersin the extension .MP3 and . WMA) and incapital letters.
Folder names can be no longer than eightcharacters. There can be no more thaneight folder levels (trees). Level 2specifications allow file names up to 31characters long.
Each folder can have up to eight trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansionformat, consider these restrictions whenconfiguring your CD writing software.
Multi Session
This is a recording method that enablesadding of data using the track-at-oncemethod.
Conventional CDs begin at a CD controlarea called the lead-in and end at an areacalled lead-out. A multi session CD is a CDhaving multiple sessions, with eachsegment from lead-in to lead-out regardedas a single session.
CD-Extra: The format that records audio(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, andrecords data as tracks on session 2.

This system helps you control manyfeatures using voice commands. Thisallows you to keep your hands on thewheel and focus on what is in front of you.
Helpful Hints
Make sure the interior of your vehicle is asquiet as possible. Wind noise from openwindows and road vibrations may preventthe system from correctly recognisingspoken commands.
Press the voice button and wait until thesystem voice announcement has finishedfollowed by a single beep before giving acommand. Any command spoken prior tothis does not register with the system.
Speak naturally, without long pausesbetween words.
You can interrupt the system at anytimewhile it is speaking by pressing the voiceicon. You can also cancel a voice sessionby pressing and holding the voice icon atany time.
Initiating a Voice Session
Press the voice button and waituntil the system voiceannouncement has finishedfollowed by a single beep. A list ofavailable commands will appear in thedisplay. Say any of the following:
If You Want ToSay
Stream audio from your mobile phone."Bluetooth Audio"
Cancel the requested action."Cancel"
Access the device connected to the auxiliary input jack."Line in"
Make calls."Phone"
Return to the main menu."SYNC"
Access the device connected to your USB port."USB"
Adjust the level of voice interaction and feedback."Voice settings"
Hear a list of voice commands available in the currentmode."Help"
System Interaction and Feedback
The system provides feedback throughaudible tones, prompts, questions andspoken confirmations depending on thesituation and the chosen level ofinteraction (voice settings). You cancustomise the voice recognition system toprovide more or less instruction andfeedback.
The default setting is to a higher level ofinteraction in order to help you learn to usethe system. You can change these settingsat any time.
Adjusting the Interaction Level
Press the voice button. Say"Voice settings" when prompted,then any of the following:
198SYNC
Page 201 of 256
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The SystemWhen You Say
Provides less audible interaction and moretone prompts."Interaction Mode Advanced"
Provides more detailed interaction andguidance."Interaction Mode Standard"
The system defaults to the standard interaction mode.
Confirmation prompts are short questionsthe system asks when it is not sure of yourrequest or when there are multiple possibleresponses to your request. For example,the system may ask "Phone, is thatcorrect?".
Press the voice button to change theconfirmation prompts setting. Say "Voicesettings" when prompted, then any of thefollowing:
The SystemWhen You Say
Makes a best guess from the command.You may still occasionally be asked toconfirm settings."Confirmation Prompts Off"
Clarifies your voice command with a shortquestion."Confirmation Prompts On"
The system creates candidate lists whenit has the same confidence level of severaloptions based on your voice command.When turned on, you may be promptedwith as many as four possibilities forclarification.
For example say, "1" after the tone to callJohn Doe at home or "2" after the tone tocall Johnny Doe on mobile or "3" after thetone to call Jane Doe at home.
The same logic applies to media content.For example say: "1" after the tone to playJohn Doe or "2" after the tone to playJohnny Doe or "3" after the tone to playJane Doe.
