Why are the sounds faint on my Hasbro TRANSFORMERS BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE Toy?
If the sounds from your Hasbro Toy are faint or weak, or the movements are slow, and the toy is acting erratically, make sure the volume levels of the toy and your musical device are turned up.

Why I cannot fit a cord into the Input Port of Hasbro Toy?
If you cannot fit a cord into the Input Port of your Hasbro Toy, it's because the toy only accepts 3.5 mm stereo output audio cords.
