Troubleshooting
Possible Problem
Decrease the volume
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.
Lower EQ settings.
Turn unit off for awhile or lower volume
Press and hold Snooze button then turn set wheel to adjust
Sync iPhone/iPod to iTunes and manually label playlist iHome. Make
sure to add songs to your playlist. For help in creating a playlist, please
see the Help tab in iTunes or visit www.apple.com
