External audio source volumeIf an external device such as an MP3 player or
an iPod Ÿ is connected to the AUX socket, the
device's volume may be different than the vol-
ume of the internal sound sources such as the
disc player or the radio. If the external sound
source's volume is too high, the quality of the
sound may be impaired. To help prevent this,adjust the input volume of the external audio
source:
NOTE
