Aux unit operationBy connecting a commercial audio pro-
duct to the vehicle, such as a portable
audio player, you can hear its sound via
the vehicle’s speaker.
Connect the portable audio player and
push the “RSE AUX ”button.
For the audio input terminal, a stereo mini
pin plug (3.5 f) can be connected. For
detailed information, see the Owner ’s
Guide for the portable audio player.NOTE. The output sound of the portable
audio player is not loud, and the sound
via the vehicle ’s speakers that are
connected to the vehicle audio set is
very quiet. If you turn up the volume of the audio set, the volume becomes
louder. However, when you change
the audio to the radio mode or to a
CD player, the sound becomes a lot
louder. Remember to turn down the
volume when you change between
them.
.
In some cases, when the sound
volume of the portable audio player is
low, the sound becomes bad when you
turn up the volume of the vehicle audio
system. In this case, adjust the sound
volume of the portable audio player.

cause of a bad connection between the
portable player of the vehicle audio
