When using the microphone ●
It is unnecessary to speak directly into the microphone when giving a command. ●
Wait for the confirmation beep before speaking a command. ●
Voice commands may not be recognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone. ●
In the following conditions, the system may not recognize the command prop-
erly and using voice commands may not be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents or
speech patterns may be difficul t for the system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.■
When searching for a track ●
A USB memory or iPod must be connected to enable track searching and play-
back. (  P. 5 4 8 , 5 5 8 )●
When a USB memory or iPod is connec ted, 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. (  P. 4 1 5 )●
While the recognition data is being cr eated or being updated, a track search
cannot be performed using a voice command. ●
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 com-
mand can be performed. ●
When “Play Music” is dimmed in the “Shortcut Menu” screen, it is not possible
to search for a track using a voice command. In this situation, reduce the
amount of music data in the USB memory or iPod and update the recognition
data to enable searching by voice command.

USB memory functions ●
When the USB memory is connected and the audio source is changed to USB
memory mode, the USB memory will start playing the first file in the first folder. If
the same device is removed and reinserted (and the contents have not been
changed), the USB memory will resume playing from the same point it was last
used. ●
Depending on the USB memory that is connected to the system, certain func-
tions may not be available. Disconnecting the device and reconnecting it once
again may resolve some malfunctions.■
When using a USB memory
You may be unable to use the instrument panel power outlet if the USB memory is
connected to the USB port at the same time. ■

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ●
File names
The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those with
the extension .mp3 or .wma. ●
ID3 and WMA tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track title,
artist name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 ID3 tags.
(The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)
WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the track
title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags. ●
MP3 and WMA playback
• When a device containing MP3 or WMA files is connected, all files in the
USB memory device are checked. Once the file check is finished, the first
MP3 or WMA file is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we
recommend that you do not include any files other than MP3 or WMA files
or create any unnecessary folders.
• When the USB device is connected and the audio source is changed to USB
memory mode, the USB device will start playing the first file in the first folder.
If the same device is removed and reinserted (and the contents have not been
changed), the USB device will resume play from the same point in which it
was last used.●
Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and
WMA files, they will be skipped (not played). ●
Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound qu ality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of
at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and
WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and
the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result.
In some cases, playback ma y not be possible at all.
