What is Special About this Machine?

Adaptive Modes and Manual Mode

In Internal Audio Mode (when no Audio Cable is attached) the Adaptive
Button switches between Adaptive Mode and Manual Mode. There are two
Adaptive Modes, Fast and Slow. The light next to the Adaptive Button is Red
in Fast Adaptive Mode, Green in Slow Adaptive Mode, and off when in
Manual Mode.
In Adaptive Mode, MINI adapts to noise in your room. It listens for disruptive
noises and raises the volume and/or adds enhancing secondary sounds to
the SoundStory when it detects intrusive noises.
In Manual Mode the unit still listens but does not significantly change its
volume in response to noise. Instead, it maintains a relatively constant
volume level determined by the Volume Up/Down Buttons.

Using Adaptive Features

The Adaptive Button allows the unit to be customized to suit personal
preference and each situation. You might prefer a quiet, steady sound and
use Manual Mode, especially if there is little noise, or steady noise, in your
environment. However, you might need the additional masking that Adaptive
Mode provides. If you find MINI responds to noises too abruptly try the Slow
Adaptive Mode or turn the adaptive feature off. Experiment to find the settings
you like best.
Note: When setting the volume in Adaptive Mode you are setting the
maximum volume it can reach when it detects a loud noise. Turn it up!
