Talking to your Amazon Alexa

You can ask Alexa to play music from supported streaming services or adjust speaker volume using your voice. For details of the contents that can be operated and how to talk, refer to “Sony | Music Center.”

To use this function, you will need to connect your Amazon account to the speaker.

Hint

  • To play music, registration with a music distribution service, such as Amazon Music, is required.

  • In a noisy place or a place that is exposed to strong winds or echoes (sound reflections), the speaker may fail to detect the voice command. In such a case, press and hold the (play) button until the speaker responds (for about 3 seconds). This action is equivalent to saying “Alexa” to the speaker.

  • The volume levels that can be changed by the voice command are 11 levels: 0 to 10.

Note

  • Amazon Alexa is not available in all languages and countries/regions.

  • Before you use “Sony | Music Center,” make sure that a Wi-Fi connection is established.

  • When the alarm/timer settings are specified on Amazon Alexa, do not turn off the power. Once the speaker is turned off, the alarm/timer may not work successfully.

  • To use network services, additional registrations and payment of communication charges and other fees may be required.
