Global commands are Voice Commands that are available after you “wake up” the Joyride™ system: What can I say?, What time is it?, Help, DVD Player, CF Player, CD Player, Voice Memo, Address Book, Messages, Volume, Mute, Clock, Setup, Navigation, Radio, End, Auxiliary and Audio. You must voice train additional command words that are not yet available. See “Custom Commands” below.

Program Level Commands

Program level commands such as Stop, Random, Select, Dial, Traffic, Email, News, are commands that are local and specific to each program. Say“What can I say?”within a specific program to hear its local commands.

Custom Commands

Custom commands differ from Global commands in their purpose. You train a custom speech command to fine tune your voice inflections so that the Joyride™ system recognizes your voice. You can also train a custom command to substitute another word for a global command. See Chapter 8 Using Setup, “Setting Custom Command Options.”

This chapter covers–

• Joyride™ system features

• Understanding the Joyride™ system Interface

What Can I Do with the Joyride™ system?

The Joyride™ system platform is a computer-based entertainment device. The Joyride™ system combines entertainment features—such as AM/FM Radio, DVD Player, CD-Player, MP3 music

from CD media or CompactFlash Address Book (for contact management) and Voice Memo. You can also send text or voice messages (with the optional GSM cell phone), store data to compact storage cards and transfer address data from a portable digital assistant device (PDA) to the Joyride™ system, using its infrared capability. An (optional) 6-disc CD Changer can also play music from audio CDs and Navigation CD-ROMs.

The Joyride™ system is fully voice-activated and features a sophisticated speech recognition engine to enable you to issue speech commands, yet keep your hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road. You can also play DVD video movies in the back seat and play MP3 music from a CF card while the driver navigates the road, assisted by the optional Navigation program. MP3 music can be played from a CD in the in-dash drive, when the drive is available.

Understanding User Interfaces

Dynamic Interfaces on the Joyride™ System

You can interact with the Joyride™ system through the use of three unique user interfaces.

1. User Display

A dynamic Graphical User Interface (GUI) that interacts with all functions and programs (e.g., DVD movie menus when using DVD Player or the optional Navigation program). The The Joyride™ system GUI uses the “last memory location” concept to recall your last screen selection. If the system has been idle after using another Joyride™ system program, the screen will revert to the last program choice made.

Keypad

A keypad user interface for data entry on the faceplate.

2. Speech Recognition

The Joyride™ system uses the Learnout & Hauspie speech recognition engine for command

and control of Windows includes an amplified microphone that is connected to its source unit. It also includes a PTT button that allows you to “wake up” at the push of a button.

As you select programs, the Joyride™ system announces program names to you OR you can talk to the Joyride™ system by issuing voice commands. (See Training Speech Commands in Using the Setup Program.)

CE applications. To receive voice commands, the Joyride™ system

User’s Manual

3. Remote Controller

The remoter controller has built-in infrared technology and can be used to control basic

functions of the Joyride™ system as well as DVD functions from the rear of the vehicle. Changing modes is accomplished through a slide switch located on the right side of the remote controller.

Small Display and Large Display Viewing

The Joyride™ system functions can be viewed on both display types.

Small screen- 1-DIN display integrated into the faceplate that is capable of being adjusted to a custom viewing angle.

Large screen- Optional, external RGB display to show all functions of the Joyride™ system. Other large screen types, like composite video signal NTSC monitors can be used also.

Look at the Joyride™ system display only when it is safe to do so.

Important Notes Concerning the Faceplate

To avoid injury to hand and fingers, wait for the faceplate to stop moving completely before using.

If there is a potential interference between the gearshift knob and the fully open faceplate, avoid using the ANGLE or EJECT buttons as the faceplate’s full extension may hamper with your safe driving.

Direct sunlight will interfere with the unit’s infrared port causing the remote controller to become partially or fully inoperable.

To avoid damage to the unit or disc, always use the EJECT button if an interference condition arises. Do not push or pull on the disc.

Do not attempt to insert any foreign objects into gaps or slots. To avoid damage, make sure the faceplate is fully open before inserting a disc.

The Enter button (joystick) is imprinted with four navigation (arrow) keys. Rock the button to the left, right, up or down to navigate to options within a program.

Do not leave the remote controller in direct sunlight.

Remote controller is most effective when operated within 3 feet of the unit, and an angle no more than 15° from perpendicular to the unit.

If the remote begins to lose sensitivity replace the batteries, making sure to follow proper polarity instructions as illustrated inside the remote controller’s battery compartment. Be aware not to mix old with new batteries.

Using DVD Player

3. Using DVD Player

DVD Player is designed to play motion pictures on a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) in the indash DVD drive, giving you access to a variety of state-of-the-art DVD features. DVD movie features include playback of Chapters (selected movie scenes), multiple language audio (the movie language you listen to), multiple language subtitles (the language text you see), or Special Features like commentary from a director or producer about how the movie was directed, all on one disc. The Joyride™ system DVD Player supports the following feature sets.

The DVD Player program allows you to:

• Play DVD-formatted discs in the in-dash drive.

• View on-screen menu information.

• Control movie functions using the remote controller.

• Issue voice commands for commonly used functions: play, pause, stop, next, previous.

• Directly control the most commonly used functions.

Please note that in this manual, references to “DVD menu” refer to menus displayed on the DVD screen, and not on the Joyride™ system.

User’s Manual

Disc Copy Protection

Most DVD discs have built-in MacroVision1encoding for copy restriction. This means that illegal copying of a disc is prevented during playback. If you attempt to copy a protected disc, your video screen will brighten and dim or become distorted, not allowing the disc to be copied.

DVD discs also have a Regional Code encoded that defines the geographic area of the country you live in. So, if you live in the U.S. or Canada, which are assigned Region Code 1, you cannot play discs recorded for other regions.

Inspect the back of the packaging for your DVD disc to locate the Region Code number. The Joyride™ system supports only Region Code 1.

Trademark of MacroVision

Using DVD Player

Which Chapter are you Reading?

In DVD technology “Chapters” are no longer associated with book publications only. DVD architecture calls the overall DVD disc a “Title.” A title could be the name of the movie or a special feature.

Titles are divided into units called “Chapters.” (Some DVD manufacturers call them “scenes.”)

A DVD movie disc is partitioned into separate titles and chapters. Depending on the structure of a DVD, you can actually search for a particular movie scene by its chapter number.

Scenario

Let’s say you are searching for a chapter (scene) in your favorite DVD movie. You select a particular scene from the DVD movie menu by pressing the navigation keys on the Joyride™ system faceplate or remote controller. Try also entering the scene number from the Joyride™ system keypad by pressing the “#” key and the chapter number (if this capability is recorded on the DVD disc). You have 3 seconds to enter the number before the system times out.
