Playing tracks in mood maps 
— SensMe™ mood
“SensMe™ mood” distributes tracks as dots on a 
two-axis mood map, based on the characteristics 
of the individual tracks.
By touching the point on the map according to 
your mood, a circle appears around the touched 
point, and the tracks inside the circle are played.

Connect a USB device set up for the 
SensMe™ function.

Touch “Source List,” then “SensMe™.”

The two-axis mood map appears.

Touch the desired point on the map.
A circle appears around the touched point, 
and playback of tracks inside the circle starts.
Playback of the first track starts from its most 
melodic or rhythmical section*.
May not be detected correctly.
Notes
• Only the 200 most recently transferred tracks using 
“Content Transfer” are mapped.
• Depending on the track, it may not be detected 
correctly or may be mapped in a position not suited 
to the track’s mood.
• If the connected USB device contains many tracks, it 
may take time for “SensMe™ mood” to start, due to 
data reading.
Tips
• In the mood map, the currently played track is 
indicated as a green dot.
• Tracks are played from the circle’s center outward.
