voice control function.
NOTE
The voice control function may have
difficulty in some environments and with
the way some people speak.
The followings will help you make the best
use of the voice control function.
• Speak loud and clear. This makes voice
recognition easier.
• When making a call, avoid saying things such as “uh”, “um, uh”, “aah”, etc. These
may be mistaken for other words.
• Close the windows. Noise from the outside can cause recognition mistakes.
• Ask everyone else in the vehicle to please be quiet while you voice-dial a
call. The voices of others in the vehicle
can cause recognition mistakes.
• Words are sometimes mistaken for other words with a similar pronunciation.
• If there is too much ambient noise, recognition mistakes may occur.
Example: Driving through a tunnel,
driving with chains on the tires
• Strong air flow from the air conditioner or heater may make recognition more
difficult.
• In the following cases, voice commands are not accepted.
- Speaking too slow or fast
- Speaking too loud or soft
- Not saying anything or pronunciation is unclear
- Spoke before the “beep”

Handling of Discs
This explains care that should be taken in
the handling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
• Fingerprints or other marks on the read surface of the disc may result in its content
being more difficult to read. When holding
the disc, grip both edges, or one edge and
the center hole, to avoid touching the read
surface.
• Do not affix paper or stickers, or otherwise damage the disc.
• Do not forcefully insert a disc if a disc is already within the device. This can result in
damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
• Periodically clean the read surface of the disc. When cleaning, do not wipe in a circular
motion. Instead, wipe gently outwards from
the center of the disc to the outer edge.
• New discs may have burring around the outer edge or in the hole in the center.
Ensure you check for these. If there are
burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
• When not using discs, ensure these are kept in cases, and stored out of direct sunlight.
• If discs are not going to be used for a long period of time, remove these from the
product.
Disc Playback Environment
In cold environments such as in mid-winter
when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turning
the heater on and immediately trying to use
the product may cause condensation (water
droplets) to form on the disc and internal
optical components, and this may prevent the
product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.
