How do I adjust the sound level so that it’s not too quiet or distorted?
The DP2 has two adjustments for combating this problem and maximizing sound quality. You have an iPod INPUT gain and a Line OUTPUT gain. The iPod INPUT gain allows you to adjust the output level of your iPod to match the level of your other audio sources that are connected to the DP2. For example, if you have a Sirius tuner attached to the DP2, there could be a drastic difference in audio level between the Sirius tuner and your iPod. Using the iPod INPUT gain, you can match the iPod’s sound level to your Sirius tuner. The Line OUTPUT gain allows you to adjust the overall volume of your DP2 to match your car head unit’s other audio sources. So, if your car head unit has an FM tuner and a CD player, you can match the output level of the DP2 to be the same as the tuner and CD player. This is useful so that when you switch between your different sources you won’t have to adjust the volume on your radio. Then again, you probably won’t want to stop listening to the DP2!
