NOTE
. The AUX jacks of the models with
the genuine SUBARU navigation sys-
tem are the RCA type. For detailed
information, refer to the Owner's Man-
ual supplement for the navigation sys-
tem.
. The output sound of the portable
audio player is not loud, and the sound
via the vehicle's speakers that are
Audio
connected to the vehicle audio set
may be very low. If you turn up the
volume of the audio set, the volume
becomes louder. However, when you
change from one portable audio player
to another one, the volume levels via
the vehicle's speakers may be signifi-
cantly louder compared to the prior
device. To avoid a large volume differ-
ence, turn down the volume when you
change between portable audio
players.
. In some cases, when the sound
volume of the portable audio player is
low, the sound becomes bad when you
turn up the volume of the vehicle audio
system. In this case, adjust the sound
volume of the portable audio player.
. In some cases, noise occurs be-
cause of a bad connection between the
portable player and the audio system.
Try cleaning the stereo jack and audio
plug.
. If noise is not reduced, check for
disconnection of the cord or malfunc-
tions of the portable player.
