Important Notice regarding Voice

Control for iPods

Acquiring/Cataloging iPod

music information

Voice Control for iPods may be limited if cata-

loging of iPod content is not completed. Cata-

loging of iPod content only occurs when the

system is in “AV Source” mode and the “iPod”

is the selected and displayed AV source. Cata-

loging of iPod content will not occur if the sys-

tem is off, if any other “AV Source” is selected

(aside from iPod), or if the system is in any

other mode (aside from “AV Source” mode)

such as “Destination” mode, “Contacts” mode,

“Settings” mode, “Phone” mode or “Map”

mode. If you wish to use Voice Control for all

iPod content, it is recommended that you first

connect your iPod, select “iPod” as the AV

source, and keep the iPod screen displayed

until cataloging is completed — cataloging of

iPod content should only take a few minutes,

and will depend on the size of the conent

stored on your iPod. A message will be dis-

played when cataloging is completed.

If you always set the language other than “Eng-

lish” on “Program language:”, this setting is

unnecessary.

Unless [VR Catalog Mode] is turned off, this

navigation system tries to acquire the informa-

tion needed to operate iPod with voice com-

mands. It may take a short period of time to

transfer the information. Change the setting

according to your usage.

The navigation system starts acquiring/catalo-

ging music information (1) when the iPod is

connected or when the system boots up while

the iPod is connected and (2) when iPod is the

selected and displayed AV Source, unless [VR

Catalog Mode] is turned off.

p If you do not use iPod, this setting is un-

necessary.

p During transfer, iPod operations (such as

[Shuffle], [Menu], or [Video]) are not

available.

p Once the cataloging is completed, you can

deactivate [VR Catalog Mode] until you

update the content/data on iPod. If you up-

date the iPod data, activate [VR Catalog

Mode] again to transfer the music informa-

tion and synchronize the music information

for voice commands with the data on iPod.

Touch [VR Catalog Mode] on the “AV

Settings” menu.

= For details, refer to Displaying the “AV Set-

tings ” menu on page 95.

Touch [On] or [Off] to activate or deacti-

vate “VR Catalog Mode”.

Operating Your Navigation System with Voice

To Ensure Safe Driving

Some functions of the navigation system sup-

ports voice operation.

p The navigation function is not available

using voice operation.

Basics of Voice Operation

Your Pioneer navigation system uses 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 com-

mands the system accepts.

CAUTION

For your safety, avoid viewing the screen in the

voice operation as much as possible while

driving.

Flow of voice operation

You can start voice operation any time even

when the map screen is displayed or audio is

operating. (Some operations are not available.)

The basic steps of voice operations are as

follows.

If you use voice operation, select [English] in

[Program language:] of “Language”. If you

select other languages, voice operation will not

be available.

Switch the screen to map screen or AV

operation screen.

= For details concerning operations, refer to
