Setting the Interrupt Type of the Speaker	Navigation Audio Interruption Volume
Input Voice	Adjustment

The following explanation is how to set the voice interrupt type of the speaker input. When the navigation voice guidance is made to interrupt, set to DEMAND, and the telephone voice is made to interrupt, set to MUTE, these are recommended.

Setting items: F.SYS MIX TYP

Setting content: FULL / DEMAND / MUTE

FULL: Regardless of the speaker interruption detection level, voice interruption and source sound are both active. If voice interruption cannot be heard clearly, adjust the source volume accordingly on the commander.

DEMAND: When speaker input interruption occurs, voice interruption may be too high or too low, adjust the source volume so voice interruption can be heard. If no speaker input interruption occurs for 5 seconds, source volume returns to the level you initially set. When speaker input interruption occurs again, source volume level automatically returns to the last one you set.

MUTE: To avoid voice interruption not being heard clearly, this setting mutes the current source sound whenever speaker input interruption occurs. In this setting, even when voice interruption cannot be heard clearly, you can still set the volume by the commander. When speaker input interruption occurs, the commander buttons blink. Press SOURCE/ POWER to cancel voice interruption.

•The setting can be made when INT or BOTH is set in "Setting the Speaker Input Mode" (page 14).

Setting the Channel of the Speaker Interruption Detection

The setting should be made according to the speaker output of the car system (navigation/telephone).

Setting items: F.SYS INT CH.

Setting content: L / R / BOTH

L:Outputs from the left speaker of the car system.

R:Outputs from the right speaker of the car system. BOTH: Outputs from both speakers of the car system.

•Usually set to BOTH.

•The setting can be made when INT or BOTH is set in "Setting the Speaker Input Mode" (page 14).

•The speaker input interrupt voice is output from the right and left front speaker regardless of this setting.
