Voice drive/ Voice memo
Problem
Registering a vocal phrase or
recording a voice memo is not
possible.
The unit often fails or does
not succeed in recognising the
vocal phrase.
Vocalised instructions are not
heard while the voice drive
function or the voice memo
function is engaged in another
operation.
Cause/Solution
The microphone is not connected properly.
t
Plug it in completely.
•The microphone may not be able to receive the driver’s voice
depending on the installation location and direction due to the
microphone’s sharp directivity.
t
Install the microphone properly. Be sure to adjust the
SONY mark facing towards the driver’s mouth.
•The unit incorporates outside noises as a part of the vocal
phrase.
t
Close the window while registering a vocal phrase.
•You can make it easier for the unit to recognise the vocal
phrase by pronouncing the phrase clearly and loudly.
•The phrase that you pronounced is different from the
registered one.
t
Pronounce the registered phrase.
The volume setting is at the lowest.
t
Adjust the volume with the dial of the unit.
Cause/Solution
The volume of the speakers may have been automatically
lowered in order to maximise the effect of the listening position
adjustment.
t
Rotate the dial to adjust the balance.
The speaker balance can be set separately for DSP on mode
and DSP off mode (page 26).
Problem
No sound, or sound is too low.
