
 If an analog broadcast is received once
and
is received while HD1 is
selected, the audio unit switches to the

station automatically. 


 When the icon is illuminated, there
could be a noticeable difference in
sound quality and volume when a
change from digital to analog signals
occurs. If the sound quality and volume
become noticeably diminished or cut
off, select the
icon to turn off

( icon is not illuminated). 


 Once an analog broadcast is received
when HD1 is selected from the Favorite
channels, it is switched to

conditions are poor, or HD is off,
switching to
broadcasts is
not possible.
 


 When an HD specialty channel (HD2 to
HD8) is selected from the Favorite
channels, “Signal Lost” is displayed
and no audio is output until

is received. If the radio reception
conditions are poor, “Signal Lost”
continues to be displayed.
 


 If the icon is not illuminated,
information such as song titles of the

station are received,
however, the audio output is analog.

iTunes Tagging (for Apple devices with
USB use only)
By tagging a song currently being aired,
the song can later be purchased from
the iTunes Store. One hundred tags

(for 100 songs) can be stored for later
downloading.

1. Select the icon. The tag is stored in
the audio unit.
2. Connect the device via the vehicle's
USB. Any stored tag(s) will be sent
automatically to the connected device.
3. Once at home or after parking the
vehicle safely, log onto the iTunes
Store with your device. Your previously
tagged song(s) can now be easily
purchased.

NOTE
 


 Both AM and FM can be
used.
 


 Because iTunes tagging only supports
purchases from the iTunes Store, direct
downloading of music from the vehicle's
audio unit is not possible.
 


 If the available memory for the
connected device is insuffi cient, the tag
is not sent.
 


 If an error occurs while the tag is being
sent, reconnect the device.

Bluetooth ® audio device corresponds
only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you
cannot operate it using the control panel
of the vehicle's audio system. In this

audio devices increases while
Bluetooth
® is connected. 


 If a general mobile phone device is
USB connected during music playback
over the Bluetooth
® connection, the
Bluetooth ® connection is disconnected.
For this reason, you cannot have music
playback over a Bluetooth
® connection
and music playback using a USB
connection at the same time.
 


 The system may not operate normally
depending on the Bluetooth ® audio
device.

“Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands
which can be used at anytime during voice
recognition.
Returning to previous operation
To return to the previous operation, say,
“Go Back” while in voice recognition
mode.
Cancel
To put the Bluetooth
® Hands-Free system
in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in
voice recognition mode.
To prevent a deterioration in the voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points should be observed:
 




 The voice recognition cannot be
performed while voice guidance or
the beep sound is operating. Wait
until the voice guidance or the beep
sound is fi nished before saying your
commands.




 Phone related commands are available
only when your phone is connected via
Bluetooth
® . Make sure your phone is
connected via Bluetooth ® before you
operate phone related voice commands.
 


 Music play commands, such as Play
Artist and Play Album can be used only
in USB audio mode.
 


 Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no
loud voice).
 


 Speak clearly, without pausing between
words or numbers.
 


 Dialects or different wording other
than hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording specifi ed by the voice
commands.
 


 It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.
  Close the windows and/or the moonroof
to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle, or turn down the airfl ow of the
climate control system while Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free is being used.
 


 Make sure the vents are not directing air
up towards the microphone.

NOTE
If the voice recognition performance is not
satisfactory.
