Re: OT Audio Adapter Query

[andy butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk>]

So, you just plug the backpack direct into the Sonica.

It *should* then be possible to hear the Sonica through 
the left speaker of the backpack.

If you can't then one of those two items is faulty.

If you can, then the adapter is faulty.
