Line-In audio is dropped when changing audio sources

When connecting my MP3 player to the 3.5 mm jack on the rear of the BoomBox, the Line-In is immediately recognized and music starts to play and sounds great. The problem is if I call up any another source (Internet radio station) the Line-In audio is DROPPED.. The only way to get the MP3 player to play again is to turn off the Boombox, reach in back of the BoomBox and pull out the 3.5 mm jack and then reinsert it. This would not be a problem if the jack was located in a more convenient and easy to reach place. This condition exist even if on the "Settings Menu" under Audio I set to either "Line in always off" or "Line in always on". You still have to pull out the 3.5 mm jack and reinsert it to make the MP3 player play. This is not convenient. The users manual is not clear on this, but leads one to believe that the Boombox will automatically switch over to LINE-IN when AUDIO is present; not when the 3.5 mm jack is inserted. I'm running Version 51 but existed when it was on Version 50.
There is an item on the main menu to switch to Line In. Also, I do not understand you assertion that setting "Line in always on" fails to have the desired effect, although it is slightly different than being specifically in Line-In mode. I cannot reproduce a failure to play Line-In when "Line in always on" is set in the settings. It is indeed insertion of the jack that triggers automatic switching to Line-IN, not the presence of audio on the line.
