To optimise the volume, use both the volume control on the radio and on the connected device.
Please note that if the volume setting of the connected device is very low and the volume setting of the radio is
correspondingly higher, disturbing noises/noise are amplified more and can therefore be heard more clearly. We
recommend setting the volume of the DIGITRADIO 143 to a DAB+ or FM station, for example, switching to the audio
input and then adjusting the volume of the connected device so that the overall volume of the audio input corresponds
approximately to the volume of the DAB+/FM station. In this way, you can also avoid large volume differences when
switching between the functions of the DIGITRADIO 143.
