INFORMATION
● A USB memory or iPod must be con-
nected to enable track searching and
playback. (See “USB MEMORY OPER-
ATION” on page 236 and “iPod OPERA-
TION” on page 241.)
● 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 46.)
● While the recognition data is being cre-
ated or being updated, a track search
cannot be performed using a voice com-
mand.

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.)
