INFORMATION
●A  USB  memory  or  iPod  must  be  con-
nected  to  enable  track  searching  and
playback.  (See  “USB  MEMORY  OPER-
ATION” on page 196 and “iPod OPERA-
TION” on page 201.)
● When  a  USB  memory  or  iPod  is  con-
nected,  recognition  data  is  created  so
tracks  can  be  searched  using  voice
commands.
● Recognition  data  is  updated  under  the
following conditions:
• When  the  USB  memory  or  iPod  data
has changed.
• When  the  voice  recognition  language is changed. (See page 49.)
● While  the  recognition  data  is  being  cre-
ated  or  being  updated,  a  track  search
cannot be performed using a voice com-
mand.
● While  “Play  Music”  is  displayed  in  the
“Shortcut  menu”  screen,  say  “Play
music”  to display the music screen from
which searching for a track using a voice
command can be performed.
● When  “Play  Music”  is  dimmed  in  the
“Shortcut  Menu”  screen,  it  is  not  possi-
ble  to  search  for  a  track  using  a  voice
command.  In  this  situation,  reduce  the
amount  of  music  data  in  the  USB  mem-
ory  or  iPod  and  update  the  recognition
data  to  enable  searching  by  voice  com-

2. NATURAL SPEECH INFORM ATION (ENGLISH ONLY)
*: Say  the  desired  artist  name  or  album
name in the place of the “<>”.
Due to natural language speech recog-
nition technology, this system enables
recognition  of  a  command  when  spo-
ken  naturally.  However,  the  system
cannot  recognize  every  variation  of
each  command.  In  some  situations,  it
is possible to omit the command for the
procedure  and  directly  state  the  de-
sired  operation.  Not  all  voice  com-
mands  are  displayed  in  the  short  cut
menu.
INFORMATION
●The  “Set  a  Destination”,  “Use  the
Phone”,  “Play  Music”  and  “Get  Informa-
tion” commands displayed on the “Short-
cut Menu” screen can be operated using
natural  language  speech  recognition
technology.
● If  the  command  cannot  be  recognized
completely,  the  command  input  screen
will be displayed. (Search results will be
shown  based  on  the  part  of  the  com-
mand that was recognized.)
