The unit records the vocal phrase in this step in order to identify the registered phrase later. When the unit answers “OK!”, the registration is completed.

Notes

•Do not attempt to register while driving, as this may create a traffic hazard.

•Be sure to reply after the unit’s vocalised instruction.

•When a beep sound is heard, the registration failed. In this case, repeat the same process starting from step 1.

•Do not use phrases of similar pronunciation such as “Sony POPS 1” and “Sony POPS 2”, because the unit may not be able to distinguish the difference.

•After you hear the unit’s vocalised instruction, reply within three seconds.

Tips

•When you register the phrases, pronounce them clearly and loudly to make it easier for the unit to recognise them.

•Registration should be made while the car is parked with the engine running so that the unit will recognise your voice more easily when you are driving.

•Though the vocalised instructions are in English, any language can be used for registration.

•The volume of the vocalised instructions can be adjusted on the unit or by the rotary commander.

Notes

•When the unit fails to recognise the phrase three times, a beep sounds and the unit returns to the previous source. In this case, repeat the same process starting from step 1.

•If it is noisy outside the car, the unit may not recognise the registered phrase. In this case, close the window and try again.

•If you are far from the microphone, speak louder or come nearer to the microphone.

Tips

•If you do not reply within three seconds after the vocalised instruction, the unit replies “Please speak now.”

•When you are requesting a registered source, pronounce clearly and loudly to make it easier for the unit to recognise.
