2. Try reducing the iWAY's output level. This step will resolve the
issue if you're overloading the input to your stereo or your FM modula-
tor. To reduce the iWAY's output level, pressing and hold the
SPEAK
key until the Sounds menu appears.
Notice that there are independent Voice Volume and Music Volume
controls. Try reducing the
M USIC V OLUME
until the distortion is elimi-
nated. This method will not always work, because sometimes the song
itself is recorded too high a volume level. In this case, you'll have to re-
duce the volume earlier in the audio chain.
3. Adjust the iWAY's Audio Equalizer. Lowering the equalizer's
Preamp control will lower the volume level being sent through your
audio output, reducing distortion. To do this, from the Music Mode
press the
MENU button to bring up the Music Menu. Choose the S
ETUP
EQ command and an Equalizer screen will appear. Press and drag the
slider on the Preamp control down two or three steps. To exit the
Equalizer screen, press the "X" button in the upper right corner of the
screen until you return to the Music Mode display.
Lowering the Preamp gain will likely resolve your distortion issues.
You may now wish to re-adjust the Music Volume and the Voice Vol-
ume to return the voice instructions and music playback to the levels
you want. Repeat the instructions in step 2 to adjust these settings.
