A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes
information such as the disc name, artist name,
and track names.
This information is recorded on the disc.
You can select for the display language and
vocalised comments of the voice guide in
either English or Spanish.
Voice Drive
Sony has developed a new function which
contributes to safer driving.
In addition to our unique rotary commander,
we now introduce a voice sensitive operating
system Voice Drive which gives the driver
voice control of the car audio.
Now, while keeping your eyes on the road,
you can command operations with Voice Drive
and confirm results with Voice Guide.
And you can also record your voice with the
voice memo function. It will take a note for
you when you see or think of something while
you are driving.
Voice guide for safe driving
This unit has a voice guide function*. When
the voice guide function is on, the unit gives
vocalised comments on functions
corresponding to the relevant button pushed.
These comments can be vocalised in either
English or Spanish.
*
Some optional power amplifiers may cause a
break at the beginning of vocalised comments.
When you connect an optional MD changer, the
sound from the first MD may continue for a short
time even after the vocalised comments about
the second MD are announced.
