SYNC®

Voice Command Guide
· Turn off and the system does not begin to play any of
your music until all media has all been indexed. Indexing
times can vary from device to device and also with regard
to the number of songs being indexed.
The system searches all the data from your indexed music
and, if available, begins to play the chosen type of music.
You can only play genres of music which are present in
the GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital
media player.
"Search genre" or "Play
genre"
The system compiles a playlist and then plays similar
music to what is currently playing from the USB port using
indexed metadata information.
"Similar music"
The system searches for a specific artist, track or album
from the music indexed through the USB port.
"Search", "Play", "Artist",
"Track, "Album"
This allows you to make your previous command more
specific. For example, if you asked to search and play all
music by a certain artist, you could then say "Refine album"
and choose a specific album from the list to view. If you
then select Play, the system only plays music from that
specific album.
"Refine"
Press the voice icon and when prompted
say "Bluetooth audio", then any of the
following:
"BLUETOOTH AUDIO" "Connections""Pause""Play"
"Play next track"
"Play previous track"
