CAUTION
•
If the input sound is still distorted after adjusting the input
level of the unit, reduce the playback sound of the external
device.
•
When an external audio device with a fixed output line level
is connected, it would be impossible to control the gain level
appropriately because of excessively large input signals. In
such cases, use the headphone jack or other level-control-
lable output for connection to the unit.
