VOLUME
The volume can be easily controlled by the volume up and down buttons on
either Mint Remote Control or Mint 130 Speaker System.
INPUT SELECTION
Mint 130 has three different audio in sources: iPod, Line-in, and Wireless.
There are two ways to select input modes:
1. You can push one of the three input buttons on the Mint remote control
to select the mode you want and your selected input mode indicator will
be lit.
2. Or, you can select any of these input modes by pushing the input button
on the Mint 130 until the input mode indicator is lit on the front of the
iPod dock.
Mint 130 is specially designed to slowly ramp up the volume
within two seconds when input mode is changed; this is to
ensure that the new sound input does not suddenly disrupt
your environment.
