Operating Your Navigation System with Voice

Basics of Voice Operation

Your Pioneer Navigation System comes with the latest in voice recognition technology. You can use voice commands to operate many of its func- tions. This chapter describes where you can use voice commands, and also what commands the system accepts.

Flow of voice operation

You can start voice operation any time even when the map screen is displayed or audio is operated. The basic steps of voice operation are as follows. The steps are almost the same as when using the Remote Control.

1 Press the TALK (or VOICE) button or touch VOICE icon to activate voice operation.

2 Speak a command into the micro- phone.

3 When the command is recognized, it is repeated.

4 As necessary, repeat Steps 2 and 3.

5 The voice command is carried out.

With the “CD-SR80” Steering Remote Control (sold separately), you can press the BAND button and the F button to switch on the oper- ation mode of the Steering Remote Control. When the operation mode is switched on, by pressing the BAND button of the Steering Remote Control, you can activate voice opera- tion, which is equivalent of pressing the TALK (or VOICE) button. (“CD-SR90” and “CD-SR100” can be used. For the details of their operation, see the instruction manuals attached to them.)

When using voice operation for the first time

Until you are familiar with this system, it is rec- ommended to stop the vehicle in a safe place and refer to the commands displayed in the Voice Help menu (a list of the words you can speak). When your vehicle is parked with the parking brake on, press the TALK (or VOICE) button or touch VOICE icon to display a list of available voice commands (Voice Help menu). Display of the Voice Help menu can be turned on /off with “Voice Recog.Help” in the Settings menu.
