iHome IP97 - Manual (Page 10)

Sound is distorted Volume level is set too high Decrease the volume
Sound source is distorted If the iPhone/iPod original sound source (MP3) is old or of poor quality,
distortion and noise are easily noticed with high-power speakers. Try a
different audio source such as a music CD.
If you are using an external sound source like older generation of iPod
or iPod Shuffle, try reducing the output volume on the device itself. Also
try turning bass boost OFF.
