mats. This system cannot display album

such as track title and artist name.
 The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3 files.
 This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.
 The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, files recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
 m3u playlists are not compatible with the
audio player.
 MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO for-
mats are not compatible with the audio
player.
 The player is compatible with VBR (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
 When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fast for-
ward or reverse operations are used.
 It is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
 MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8 lev-
els deep can be played. 
The order changes depending on the per-
sonal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC
encoding software you use.

related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track number, track title, the artist’s name,
the album title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments, cover art and
other data. The contents can be freely
edited using software with ID3 tag editing
functions. Although the tags are restricted
to a number of characters, the information
can be viewed when the track is played
back.
 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
and artist name.
 MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). 
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by
Microsoft
®. It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9.

2. NATURAL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING*
Due to natural language speech recog-
nition technology, this system recog-
nizes commands when spoken
naturally. (If a Toyota Entune subscrip-
tion has been entered, the system will
be able to connect to the Toyota En-
tune center and the range of naturally
spoken English which can be recog-
nized will be increased.) However, the
system cannot recognize every varia-
tion of each command. In some situa-
tions, it is possible to omit the
command for the procedure and direct-
ly state the desired operation. Not all
voice commands are displayed in the
function menu.
To use this function, a subscription to
the Toyota Entune is necessary. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer for details.
