up the media screen with controls. If using an iPod, make sure to use an Apple certified
cable or MFi certified cable for proper operation.
Aux Input
The Aux jack is a port that allows input from an
audio device such as MP3 players, portable
music players, and iPods. To access the Aux
menu, plug in the device to the Aux jack and
