Adjusting the output volume (AUX/MDI VOLUME LEVEL)
If you need to increase the output volume for the external audio source, firstlower the base volume on the radio system ⇒ page 9.
If the sound from the external audio source is too quiet, increase the outputvolume on the external audio source if possible. If this is not sufficient, setthe input volume (AUX VOL LEVEL) in the system settings to level 2 or level 3.
If the sound from the connected external audio source is too loud or distor-ted, lower the output volume on the external audio source if possible. If thisis not sufficient, set AUX VOL LEVEL to level 2 or level 1.

You can set the degree to which the volume increases with speed on a scalebetween 1 and 7.
