Undock your iPhone or put iPhone in Airplane mode. Note that
Airplane temporarily disables the phone features on the iPhone.
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 and/ or turn off SRS WOW
Turn unit off for awhile or lower volume
The signal from the line out jack needs amplification. Use powered
speakers/monitors or other amplified audio device.
Press and hold Snooze button then turn set wheel to adjust
