Playing with sounds

AIBO uses sounds to perform many types of play with you.

Mimicking

When you say, "Let's play" to AIBO, it starts mimicking your voice in its own
voice.
When you call out "Change your sound" to AIBO, AIBO changes its voice.
To stop AIBO from mimicking your voice, say, "All done" to AIBO.
AIBO may start mimicking or stop mimicking on its own.
Note
While AIBO is emiting a sound or moving, it cannot hear you easily.

Have AIBO hum a melody

When you sing "Lalala" (three notes), AIBO hears your melody and repeats it.
Be sure to clearly sing "Lalala" so that AIBO can hear you correctly.

Have AIBO emit a melody

Tell AIBO "AIBO melody," and then bring your hand close
to the distance sensor located on the nose of AIBO or move
your hand away from it. AIBO emits a sound. When you
change the distance from your hand to the distance sensor of
AIBO effectively, it makes AIBO to emit a piece of music.
