-The AM loop antenna is not connected to the i177. Connect the AM loop antenna to the jack on the back of the i177.

-The i177 is installed where the reception is bad. Move the AM loop antenna around keeping it away from the main unit for the best reception.

·When playing music, the sound gets distorted.

-The volume level on the connected device or the i177 is set too high. Decrease the volume until the distortion has disappeared.

-The source sound is distorted. If the original sound source (MP3) on your iPod is poor quality, the distortion and noises are easily noticed with high-power speakers. Try a different audio source like a music CD to test.
