MOTS
MOTS allows you to continuously
listen to similar music. The MOTS
feature measures music similarity
on many different parameters
such as sound, dynamics and
rhythmic aspects, to be able to
generate a ‘play queue’ of similar
tracks to be played.
MOTS makes it convenient to
find music for a certain situation,
or to just start playing. You only
need to pick one song, and then
MOTS automatically creates a list
of similar music.
MOTS uses the music source currently
selected to generate a play queue.
MOTS uses only one source at the time.
Note that it is not possible to generate MOTS
play queues using an A.AUX or N.RADIO
source.
MOTS calculations
MOTS calculations are based on sound,
dynamics, and rhythmic aspects and
searches across parameters such as artist,
album and genre. MOTS uses the last added
track of a play queue to auto-generate an
endless sequence of similar tracks, which is
added to the already existing content of the
play queue.
MOTS calculations are performed on
currently added music library storages or
connected USB devices while your music
system is in standby. When you connect a
USB device or when you add a music library
storage either for the first time or after it has
been deactivated, it will require some
standby time to complete MOTS calculations.
For information on how to disable and
enable the MOTS feature, see page 14.
To stop MOTS calculations …
> When MOTS calculations are in progress,
press and hold the standby button for
more than four seconds to stop MOTS
calculations. Pressing the standby button
for less than four seconds will delete the
existing MOTS calculations.
While MOTS calculations are in progress,
there is a red light in the standby indicator.
When you stop MOTS calculations, the
standby indicator is switched off.
One source at the time

A half circle next to the wheel lights up and

progress.
