Operating tips for audio command operation:
. An audio device connected via BluetoothŠcannot be operated with the Voice Recognition system. Source change is only available for BluetoothŠ
streaming Audio.
. If two USB devices are connected at the same time, voice operation will only be available for use with one registered and selected device. When
selecting “YES” in the pop-up screen that displays after a new USB audio device is connected, the USB audio device is registered in the voice
recognition system and is selected automatically. One iPod and one USB device can be registered in the system. If a USB audio device is newly
registered, old data is overwritten. It may take a few moments to register an audio device. If you want to enable voice operation for music stored in a
previously registered audio device, select the device you want to use in advance. Even when a device has been previously registered, simply connecting
the device will not result in it being selected automatically.
“Voice recognition settings” (page 7-23)
. The Voice Recognition system may not function when the song information is too long (artist names, album titles, song titles and play lists, etc.) .
. The SiriusXM function will not operate without a subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio (for U.S. and Canada) .
. When playing USB files with the voice recognition system, do not pronounce the extension attached to the file name (such as “.mp3”) .
