2.Try reducing the iWAY's output level. This step will resolve the issue if you're overloading the input to your stereo or your FM modula- tor. To reduce the iWAY's output level, pressing and hold the SPEAK key until the Sounds menu appears.

Notice that there are independent Voice Volume and Music Volume controls. Try reducing the MUSIC VOLUME until the distortion is elimi- nated. This method will not always work, because sometimes the song itself is recorded too high a volume level. In this case, you'll have to re- duce the volume earlier in the audio chain.

3.Adjust the iWAY's Audio Equalizer. Lowering the equalizer's Preamp control will lower the volume level being sent through your audio output, reducing distortion. To do this, from the Music Mode press the MENU button to bring up the Music Menu. Choose the SETUP EQ command and an Equalizer screen will appear. Press and drag the slider on the Preamp control down two or three steps. To exit the Equalizer screen, press the "X" button in the upper right corner of the screen until you return to the Music Mode display.

Lowering the Preamp gain will likely resolve your distortion issues. You may now wish to re-adjust the Music Volume and the Voice Vol- ume to return the voice instructions and music playback to the levels you want. Repeat the instructions in step 2 to adjust these settings.

The iWAY comes with a special cable designed to allow you to copy files from your computer to iWAY's internal hard drive.
