Notes on operating audio by voice recognition:
.An audio device connected via Bluetooth cannot be operated with the Voice Recognition system. Source change is only available for
Bluetooth® 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. You can select the device for voice recognition after "No" on the pop-up
screen is selected by restarting the engine with the device connected or remove the device and connect again. 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.
“Voice recognition settings” (page 10-17) Even when a device has been previously registered, simply connecting the device will not
result in it being selected automatically.
. The Artist, Album, Song and Play lists of audio stored in the connected USB device can be searched in voice. However, the maximum
number of items that can be registered is limited. If there are a lot of audio items registered in the USB device, it may take some time for the
system to prepare for audio search by voice.
. 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 SXM function will not operate without a subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

Moisture condensation occurs inside the unit. Wait until the moisture evaporates (approxi- mately 1 hour).
The cabin temperature is too high. Wait until the cabin temperature becomes
moderate.
The disc is scratched or dirty. A disc is not
always playable if it is scratched. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
Depending on the condition in which they are
stored, discs may become unreadable due to
deterioration (for example, keeping the discs in
the passenger compartment, etc.). Change the disc with a deterioration-free disc.
Do not use a deteriorated disc. The label surface
of the disc may crack or chip, and the layer of the
label surface may eventually peel off.
The compressed audio files cannot be played
back. If both music CD files (CD-DA data) and
compressed audio files (MP3 data, etc.) are
mixed on one disc, the audio compression files
cannot be played back.Prepare a disc that includes compressed audio
files only.
The files are not named using characters that
are compliant with the specifications. Use the character codes and the number of
characters that are compliant with the specifi-
cations for folder names and file names. In
addition, always use “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or
“.wma” for file extensions.
It takes a long time before the music starts
playing. The disc contains a large amount of data. Some time may be required to check the files. It
is recommended that unnecessary folders or any
files other than compressed audio files should
not be recorded in a disc.
The sound quality is poor. The disc is dirty.Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
