3565-10. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
track-related information in an
MP3 file. This embedded infor-
mation can include the track
number, track title, the artist’s
name, the album title, the music
genre, the year of production,
comments, cover art and other
data. The contents can be freely
edited using software with ID3
tag editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a num-
ber of characters, the informa-
tion can be viewed when the
track is played back.
■WMA tag
WMA files can contain a WMA
tag that is used in the same way
as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry
information such as track title
and artist name.
■MP3
MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a work-
ing group (MPEG) of the ISO
(International Standard Organi-
zation). MP3 compresses audio
data to about 1/10 the size of
that on conventional discs.
■WMA
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
is an audio compression for-
mat developed by Microsoft
®.
It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files.
The decoding formats for
WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and 9.

standard used with MPEG2 and

• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition-
ing system is set at high.

●In the following conditions, the
system may not recognize the
command properly and using
voice commands may not be pos-
sible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words,
accents or speech patterns may
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.
• There is excessive background
noise, such as wind noise.
●Normally, it is necessary to wait
for a beep before saying a com-
mand. To enable the ability to talk
over prompts and say commands
before the beep, enable the voice
prompt interrupt function.
